: Beyoncé Fans MAY Have Too Much Time On Their Hands
A disgruntled fan of Beyoncé has started a petition to get her to reshoot the video for her new song "Deja Vu" that has managed to get mainstream news coverage.
( The full text of the petition is cut and paste here. )
The comments of the petition are a bit less eloquent, but quite a bit more brimming with the righteous indignation. I've cut and paste some of the more fun exerpts below.
People start out with concerns over Beyonce's mental health: "I thought I was the only one, who thought B had fell and bumped her head. "
Others find Jay-Z's inclusion in the video extraneous: "This video is the worst one yet! Who in the HE!! do JayZ thinks he is, standing there like it's his video...!!!"
Some fans express feelings of deep ambivalence: "The video wasn't THAT bad. I just got a little dizzy from everything that was going on, and I don't really appreciate that Jay-Z was just standing there rapping while she was dancing up on him like he was a stripping pole..."
Others engage in comparative analysis: "I think that if a video is done, you should be able to mute it and still know what is going on. Like when eminem does a video, it's like they play out each line, and it's fun to watch. They should play out each line..and show jay some dance moves or SOMETHING b/c it's not amusing for him to just stad there. Also, Bey is a baby, and I don't really want to look up to someone who's dancing up on a man who is this side of forty."
Won't someone think of the children? "J we know you and B are getting your swerve on and don't need to advertise to the younguns."
Some fans wonder if the video is some kind of terrible mistake: "Dear 'B'... are you sure this is the right edit of Deja Vu?"
There are conspiracy theorists: "HOW IS THIS VIDEO #1 ON TRL? I SMELL PAYOLA."
The Caps Lock of Displaced Rage also make an appearance: "JAY-Z HOW DID YOU OKAY THIS HOT MESS???"
And then there's my favorite: "I wish the sista would take a break, that's all I ask . run away, disapear, and let us wonder where the hell you are, and then come back. "
The petition, which has well over a thousand furious signatures at this point, can be found here, should you, too, feel the need to sign it.
