Critics Pan Adam Lambert's Witty Parody: Adam Raises Cain

Student Advisor, The Sword

Readers probably do not want to see the NY Post article, but here it is.

Adam defended his performance recorded on the video, “If it’s edited, that’s discrimination,” Adam said. “I will be a little disappointed because there is a little bit of discrimination going in this country. There’s a big double standard, female pop artists have been doing things provocative like that for years, and the fact that I’m a male, and I’ll be edited and discriminated against could be a problem.”

Wisconsin Lutheran College's prestigious student newspaper, The Sword, editorialized that critics missed the point of Adam Lambert's cutting edge performance at the American Music Awards. Denouncing humorous critics who cannot understand a a clever parody, The Sword went on to state:

Repression and censorship have made it difficult but not impossible for us to watch our favorite video. Lucky for us, someone put it on a server so we can watch through a "dark tunnel," as they call it. Far from putting people off, it has done wonders for recruitment at two schools. Before we got very few future fashion designers, ballet dancers, gossip columnists, and flower arrangers. Now they are swarming both campuses.

Among we journalists, parody is an essential art form. You take the essence of a performance and make people smile by taking it to a new level. A truly awesome performance will make people laugh, especially when they imagine the shocked frowns of troglodytes blogging in their pajamas. If I was him, I would download more of the same. Parody is art. This here newspaper itself is a parody of student journalism, an art form.

If you didn't have so many double standards, people might actually take you serious (sic - seriously modifies a verb). And those that do are as delusional as you are.

GJ - The alleged quote is a parody of The Thword. I was just waiting for a humorless, illiterate MLC/WLC supporter to sling some more mud.

How can these people expect to be taken seriously as "journalists" when they don't even know the rules of the language they are using (and abusing)?

Reply-These people you are referring is Pastor Jackson since the THWORD did not write this "atricle" (sic!). Your readers are very smart Pastor since they cannot see that this was obviously a parody.

GJ - My readers are very sharp and they have a sense of humor. My critics do not know the language they are using and abusing. What shocks Hollyweird, though, is defended by two WELS colleges. I have not seen an apology posted at either skul. Maybe I missed it.
