South Park Makes Fun of Tyler Perry
by Dr. Boyce Watkins, Your Black World
South Park is a show that takes no prisoners. Sometimes they can be brutal, and when your name is mentioned on the show, you might as well prepare to be embarrassed. The latest victim of the show is Tyler Perry, who is presented as “Funny Bot,” a woman in a dress who tells silly stereotypical jokes that make you laugh over and over again. Every time Funny Bot throws out a catch phrase (“Oh lawud, this chicken sho is hot!”), someone hands him a dollar. He is also, by the way, presented as the greatest threat to all of man-kind by President Barack Obama (you can see a clip by clicking here).

Your Black World reports
The Game’s Tia Mowry is going all-out with People Magazine in an interview and showing herself in all her pregnitious beauty.
In the interview, Tia had a lot to say:
On Feeling Sexy
“I know that there are people out there who say that there is nothing sexy about being pregnant. Then there are some people who embrace the sexuality. I feel empowered; I feel sexy”
On Her Physical Discomfort
“I have sciatica so I’ve gotten those pregnancy pillows. That doesn’t seem to be working for me.”
On Losing Sleep
“They say that the baby should kick 10 times every two hours. I’m obsessed with counting how many times the baby’s kicking. So around one o’clock in the morning I’m counting in my head, not sleeping!”
Sooooo, is this sexy, beautiful, gross, nasty or bold? You be the judge.
