The Nude Badu

Back again for another spin on this weeks events. Many things happened in the media this week such as Ricky Martin "coming out of the closet" and actress Anna Paquin announcing that she is bisexual. Clearly this was a shock to a lot of people, well not so much concerning Ricky Martin's sexuality. But the article that I will focus on is one concerning Miss Erykah Badu at her best! lol Ms. Badu hadn't been in the media lately and what better way to gain media attention than going nude in the middle of a public place in broad daylight. Badu shot her new video in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Tx. This is the same place where President JFK was assassinated in 1963. The song is entitled 'Window Seat'. In the video, Badu is walking down the street and undressing in front of locals. She removes her shirt revealing a tattoo that says evolving on her back. She then removes her pants and undergarments. This is evolution at its best; evolving from a fully clothed woman into a totally nude sex symbol or "symbols" if you at all catch my drift. Anyhow, Badu was recently charged with disorderly conduct by the Dallas Police Department for her "freeness". At the end of the video, after stripping totally naked, Badu falls to the ground at the hands of a gunshot. Now is it just a coincidence that she shot the video where JFK was assassinated and then she supposedly suffers the same fate in the video? I think not. Responding to criticism regarding this incident, Badu stated that she would never disrespect JFK and that his way of thinking is an inspiration to her. No wonder JFK was such a lady's man, even beyond the grave, he is inspiring women to get naked. Anyhow, I consider this whole situation to be a pseudoevent. All of this was staged to get Badu back or Badu's "Back" in mainstream media and she certainly achieved that. Nice move Badu!
