Being Bobby Brown

[Deleted]

I laughed and laughed at last night's episode when Mohammad Al-Fayed appeared and gave Bobby some "Egyptian Viagra". So weird and awesome.

However, I felt so sorry for Bobbi Kristina. I think she is adorable and looks so much like an equal blend of both of her parents (well, according to Bobby, she has a bit more "Brown" in her which accounts for her larger size... ) - she will probably be drop dead gorgeous when she grows up. She seemed so upset when Whitney kept picking out clothes that were too small for her. It reminded me of that horrible movie, Spanglish where Tea Leoni buys her daughter all of these new clothes but buys them in a too small size, turning a nice moment into one that ends up shaming her daughter. I am amused when Whitney verbally (and physically?) backhands Bobby, but it is hard to see Bobbi Kristina being humiliated on television.

I don't think that is Whit and Bobby's case, I just think they go a bit overboard trying to prove their love for one another.
The constipated thing was Bobby telling how Whit was constipated, couldn't go, and to help out, he stuck 2 or 3 fingers up her ass to get some of the shit out.
Believe it or not, this was a common practice among old people to relieve constipation. Kind of like an old wives' remedy for constipation. Something about massaging the anus and rectum stimulates the urge to poop. Mother's would do it to thier babies if they couldn't go, or give their husband or parent an enema. I know it sounds gross, and it really is TMI, but I would love to have that type of closeness and intimacy with someone. I really don't see it as a bad thing. I just didn't want to know about it from nasty Bobby Brown.

Great Slate article about the show. I just may have to go ahead and watch it now.

Hmm, maybe it does sound kind of, err, romantic, but for some reason I keep picturing the situation ending in a domestic dispute.

I hope he got a rubber glove or put a condom over his fingers or something first.

Or else they were too damned cheap to pick up a Fleet.

Maybe Fleet will send some gifts over to thank them for the publicity. Kind of like how Chicken of the Sea showed their gratitude to Nick and Jessica. I'm sure there are lots of viewers rushing out to pick up some glycerin suppositories so they never have to resort to sticking their fingers up a loved one's ass and pulling out a turd.

I hope we see a Mad TV skit this upcoming season making fun of this shitty situation. I picture Debra Wilson, as Whitney, screaming to Aries Spears, "Ow bitch you need to trim your fingernails!" Then Aries, as Bobby, says "Shut up bitch!" and smacks her. Then she kicks him in the head, and at that moment, out pops the doodie.

Heeeheeeheeeee.

Tonight's camping episode was classic. Whitney is really crazy.

I love Pop Brown.

"Those damn beans."

I can't believe how Bobby was spending money at the camping store. He is such trash.
The guy that follows him around, is he an assistant or relative? I really felt bad for him, what a shitty job, helping some kook out all day.

[zacandmax]

That's his brother.

This is one of those shows that makes me wish I wasn't so cheap and that I actually had cable. I love Whitney back in the day and the downward spiral of crazy fascinates me.
