Not to take up for Flav but I thought when he translated what she said the man who did the translation told Flav that she said he LOOKED like a 13 year old, which is why he said thank you. At either rate both he and Gitte were embarassing.

OHMIGOD, that is all I can say, ohmigod.

Looks like a Carolina River cricket and still flashes gold teeth. I've said that any AfAm woman who complains about his "dalliance" with Gitte needs to be throttled. They can have his butt.

You're probably right about the interpreter; nonetheless, it was still an embarassing moment. :o

Chile please. LOL

Bridget (lol) is looking like PWT nowadays. :o

I lmao when the lady said Fufi fufi acts like he's 13. The guy interpreted to Flava as if he looked like he was 13. Lawd! Flav thought it was a compliment.

Utterly embarrassing!

I wonder that too! Cause I kinda became an outcast in my family (I hesitate to use the word black sheep) :D because I had been in counseling/therapy in the past. Even though it literally saved my life it was like "you don't tell certain folx your business" (ya know what I mean by the italics)

But I do wonder about that

Oh, and I saw on TV today that Mr. Wells is currently in prison for failure to show up in court. The show ran the clips of him dancing and singing and ran captions over this clip, documenting his prison history.

I was on the train in the airport and two girls were talking VERY loudly. One girl was saying that she didn't know how she got pregnant by her first baby daddy cuz she liked to drink and smoke and he was a lame and all he wanted to do was cuddle and he would mess up her high! I was so embarrassed.

Embarrasing New Years
 
I was at home (Miami,FL) for New Years and attended a midnight service with my sister. After the service my sister took me to Denny's, her associates from church had decided to go there. Tell me why one of the guys in our group was singing hymnals when we walked into the restaurant. After we were seated many of the others were loud and obnoxious with the waitress. To top it off a black couple was two tables down from us letting their baby play on the floor. Why did one of the girls in our group yell out call HRS. The couple looked at us like WTF, granted the child shouldn't have been on the floor but WOW did the girl have to say that...I was too embarassed.

Then another girl's fiance (whom ever knows doesn't have a job) is placing his order and asks for wangs and fry (That was not on the menu). The waitress was like what, he said wang and fry again. The girl had to step in and say the buffalo chicken strips with fries. Why was he acting like he couldn't speak functional english. Then the fiance gets up and walks off...why?...the girl explains he thinks he might know the cook and wants to go in the kitchen and ask for more food on his plate (food that he isn't paying for anyway since he doesn't have a job.)

The girl then says how she's going to get her party on in Daytona. One of the guys at the table asks how is she going to go with out the boyfriends permission. She replies he aint paying for it (remember he doesn't have a job). The guy looks at the fiance (who had come back from the kitchen) and says loudly, '"OOOOHHHH Don't hit her man, don't hit her."

I told my sister it was time to go and I know the group thought I was stuck up but they are ghetto so we're even.

So embarrassing
 
Everyone was having lunch at Red Lobster ( two of "us" and five of "them") when the other one of "us" said 'Can I have the SKRIMP':eek:

Resurrecting Thread
 
Hi Ladies,

I and my entire famiy are stuck home with the flu, so I've been on GC ALLL DAY (via my bed and laptop, of course!)

Anyway - I was in mixed company at the doctor's office last week. The office is in a predominantly white neighborhood, and I was the only African-American there. On the television was the "Maury Show" with his infamous DNA results episodes. All it showed were ill behaved African-American women who were seeking out the father of their chiildren...and most of them were WRONG. One woman had been up there FOUR times and still had not found the father of her child. As an African-American women, I was SO EMBARASSED because I felt like everyone was looking at me as each result was read. They just kept shaking their heads and trying to clandestinely look my way as if they were waiting for me to pull out my cell phone and call the 800 number to request an appearance. When I told my mom, she teased me and called me pompous (pot calling the kettle...), but I couldn't ignore that. I finally got up and asked the receptionist to change the station as this was TOTALLY insulting and I found NOTHING entertaining about it. She gave me no problems and turned.

I like Maury the person (well from what I've gather from his career), but this is a complete disservice to our community and culture. I REALLY think this show should be cancelled if that's all they can come up with to entertain college students, seniors and stay-at-home moms (the demographics of those usually home during this time to watch such). I'm all for simply turning the channel when I don't wish to see something on TV, but in this instance, it's not just MY eyes that concern me. This feeds into many of the prejudices we're fighting today.

Going to take my TamiFlu...
