THE DIXIE CHICKS

Yes. That's right. It's three country singers, nude, on my web page. What an honour. But seriously, these are the Dixie Chicks, posing in the nude for the cover of Entertainment Weekly magazine, to stand up for their own human rights. It shouldn't have to come to this. Well, about the nudity, I'm fairly indifferent, but they shouldn't have to do this, simply to appease the hard-headed, Bush-loving, moronophilic American public.

Apparently, the Dixie Chicks themselves have been cast into pariahdom. Their music has been blacklisted from the airwaves, radio stations have refused to play their songs and have openly encouraged people to burn and destroy Dixie Chick albums, and the artists themselves have been branded 'Dixie Sluts' and 'Saddam's Angels'. It's 'Beatles vs. Jesus' all over again. And for what? Because one of the singers, Natalie Maines, said that they were ashamed President Bush came from Texas. And who wouldn't? I certainly wouldn't want my home state associated with a spoilt, idiotic moron of a President who will do anything to get his own way. War in Iraq? Illegal, I say. But now, because of this perfectly reasonable opinion, they are now having to defend themselves in every way possible, and it just ain't right. Why should people have to justify themselves like this? The Dixie Chicks' treatment is a violation of their basic human rights, and the American Constitution.

So, are you with the nude knock-outs known as the Dixie Chicks? Or are you not?
