Expensive Cheap Shots!
Heaven Hi!!!
Let’s have a cup of coffee. Make mine a Grande mistake. Hold the cheap shot.
Well what would the entertainment business be without drama. If it wasn’t enough that Britney Spears’ dance at the VMA music awards shocked audiences everywhere, and got more hits on youtube.com then any other video the week it was aired, Sarah Silverman found a way to knock her down further and drag her through the coals. Silverman’s comments about Britneys’ children, or “mistakes,” made many people really angry. You would think that the commotion would have died down a little after the awards were over, but (hold your breath), it didn’t! Like a fan to a fire, Silverman found her material, and the only expense is Britney’s dignity. What’s left of it?
False Myth: It’s hard to make people happy/glad/content/feel good.
Sarah Silverman’s comedy is very deadpan, and acerbic. However, considering Britney’s already vulnerable state, there is a boundary one should be aware of. When you turn to your humor at the expense of someone else, you are leaning towards your dark triangle of human behavior. You are running off of negative energy, and the results are sometimes fatal. I think deep down we all find more joy in making others happy. We find positive energy makes the engines of our emotions run smoothly. So, find your funny zone, tell a joke(in good taste), and get in touch with your humor. Pretty soon you’ll start looking at life in a more positive way.
Example:
Negative: The sun is so hot today.
Positive: It’s so nice and warm. Let it shine, baby.
Be BOP!
