(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - If pop music is a part of growing up, then our kids are getting old quick. It sounds cliché, until you really start to listen. These days if the lyrics aren’t edgy, chances are the song isn’t popular.
Alright, Fox25, calm it down. It’s music, and half of the time, nobody knows what the artist is saying anyways. Then again, I was the little girl who would look up lyrics online that I didn’t know and make it a point to memorize them, but I digress…
My advice to parents is plain and simple. If you don’t want your kids reciting the bubblegum pop lyrics of Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, and Joe Jonas, then stick to The Wiggles and Yo Gabba Gabba or whatever kids these days are in to.
What slander-filled music did I listen to as a kid? All I know is, I grew up on artists such as the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and Christina Aguilera, and then Ja Rule, City High and Ludacris in my more advanced early teen years when I became too hood for those softy boy bands and Mickey Mouse Club stars.
Look at me; I turned out just fine. Blasting into my headphones all day were lyrics like “I got a fetish for f#*king you with your skirt on, on the backstreet in the backseat of my Yukon,” and “what would you do if your son was at home, cryin’ all alone on the bedroom floor cuz he’s hungry, and the only way to feed him is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money…”
The point is, I have never had a rendezvous with Ja Rule in the backseat of his Yukon, nor have I slept with a man for a little bit of money.
Like I said, if you don’t want your kids listening to the lyrics of Katy Perry that could be potentially harmful to their innocence, you better keep that CD of The Wiggles ready to go. Of course, once the kids aren’t around you can go back to the perverted stylings of Lil Wayne. Get a grip.
I don’t care if this is or is not in fact an extra-terrestrial, there are so many reasons why you should not keep what you perceive to be an alien in your fridge for two years, or even a day for that matter.

The 2011 inductees into the Toy Hall of Fame last week were the doll house, the blanket, and Hot Wheels. WTF? Alright, Hot Wheels, yeah I get it…but the doll house and the BLANKET? I understand that the blankets were the key element to building forts in Grandma’s basement, but I am confused as to why the blanket gets to chill in the Toy Hall of Fame.
Bro + Yoga = “Broga,” co-founded by Robert Sidoti and Adam O’Niell. They blended the terms “bro” and “yoga” to come up with their own variation of the practice. Broga, by design, attracts men who have been hesitant to involve themselves in the world of yoga. Classes are currently offered multiple times per week at locations in Somerville, MA and Martha’s Vineyard, but the co-founders are in the process of expanding this new phenomenon.

Recent studies show that more than half of college students throughout the world said that they would turn down a job offer if social media was banned from the workplace.
The Duggar family, currently stacked with 19 children and 2 grandchildren, appeared on the Today Show this morning and announced that Michelle, 45, is expecting their 20th child.
There have been speculation that the biggest loser regarding the NBA lockout is LeBron James. These stories caught my interest because I thought they were calling LeBron a loser. Turns out, people think he is the biggest loser in terms of having the most to lose without a 2011-12 NBA season. Everyone’s all, “he has the most to prove and without this season he won’t be able to do so…” blah blah blah.
