Eminem Sucks

So in my travels through cyberspacelandtown today I came across an article about the 10 things every single guy and girl should own. It was basically an article about what things singles should have in their homes to make a good impression. I noticed that one of the things listed for girls was to have an Eminem CD. This was supposed to impress guys by showing that the girl has a diverse musical taste and that she is not easily offended as well as to show that she likes "cool music". Of course, as anyone who knows me would already know, I immediately had a problem with that. Mainly based on the premise that eminem sucks and thereby by extension I would automatically think that said girl liked crappy not cool music. I also took exception that this would show a broad musical horizon. Top 10 corporate sponsored rap (arguably the #1 genre in this country) is not a broad musical taste. You know, maybe if she ranged from jazz to blues to indie or something like that it would show a broad musical taste. Or even if she just went beyond the normal radio fare it would show a fairly broad musical taste these days. On a final note, having an eminem cd also does not necessarily imply that someone is not easily offended, on the contrary, it could mean that she is ignorant and/or closed minded (see eminems homophobic, violent, self absorbed, etc lyrics). That is my rant for the evening. The end.
