Friday is sports/entertainment day on invisibleblog.com

I am on a “low information diet” so I did not see the BET awards nor did I even know they were on. Instead, I think I spent that three hours of my life talking to my wife. Apparently, the only redeeming value the show had was that Al Green showed up. See the photo above. The guy in the shiny pants is Anthony Hamilton.

Since I did not see this “show” I am outsourcing my review. Please direct your attention to two wonderful posts. One post is from a brother who did not see the awards either and the second is from a brother that not only watched the awards but blogged live while watching. Both are good reads. I have included excerpts below and links to the full posts below. Have a great weekend.

Raw Dawg Buffalo on the BETrayal Awards:

…I became aware that this dumb shit was on when I made my blog rounds today. Seems a lot of mutha fucas think this shit, or such a spectacle is essential and even important. Although I couldn’t figure out its importance, I did not judge or relegate those that did as dumb fucks (I mean u complain about gas prices, but will look at the BET awards as opposed to writing a letter to your congressman about high gas prices). No just lost folks who prefer to live vicariously through the lives of those that don’t know hard work, but do know persistence.

AverageBro on the BETrayal Awards:

8:00 PM

[The show begins. Usher takes the stage.]

AB: Is that Marcus Houston?

AMB: This bama fell off. Usher got fat.

AOB: He got a gut.

AMB: Is that a bulletproof vest around his waist?

AOB: Bobby Brown gained some weight and blew his career too.

AB: Chris Brown better put down the baby back ribs.

AMB: Maybe the widescreen is distorted. Fix the setting.

AB: Maybe.

AOB: Doesn’t matter, he’s off.

AMB: Is he wearing a bulletproof vest?

AOB: Take the TV off widescreen, this distortion is distracting.

AMB: Doesn’t matter, Chris Brown has officially overtaken this dude. The crowd is silent.

AOB: He didn’t take his shirt off. He’s overweight.

[Camera strategically pans to Chris Brown in the audience.]

AMB: You can tell Chris knows he got Usher beat now. That was laaaaame.
