on mothers

so i was in a discussion/meeting at al-falah when somehow, one of us mentioned about an MTV show called Yo Momma.. now i ever seen this sort of a game before, but because they were talking in a ‘different language’ (you know those hiphop terms) i couldn’t really understand what they were talking at all, there’ll be two guys arguing with one another (heh, i thought they were challenging one another to come up with rap lyrics or something) but then there’ll be the audience who would laugh at every interval, i don’t understand what was so funny then. since i couldn’t care less, changed the channel and never saw that prog again.

i came to know that the programme Yo Momma, was a game/competition where two guys would make JOKES about their momma, mother. i don’t understand what is so funny about mothers to be joked about??!! so mothers are some funny clowns now that they can make jokes about each other’s mothers, and having people laugh at those jokes? like you let these people laugh at your mother? what is so cool about that? serious TAK FAHAM!

and how do you differentiate these jokes from down right disgrace or disrespectful? i tried to search from it at Youtube, of course la, there are some videos, siap ada the Best Of… lagik! i watched and tried to understand behind those jargons and understand the jokes, but they are not funny. maybe my humor bones are not working at the moment, but the very concept of making jokes about your mothers….are just beyond the limit, immoral if i can say so. have these people lose respect of MOTHERS? you might say, come on, it’s just jokes~ but there’s only so much you can take as jokes.

still, i couldn’t understand why jokes on mothers. what about making jokes on Your Self? and there’s the tooottss audience who would laugh at whatever the two goons are saying.

i have NEVER liked this hip hop culture anyway. with the way they looked and used women. with those, what? bling blings or whatever…

if there is anyone out there who could explain this whole Yo Momma concept, please do. but at this moment, i think it’s one of the most stupidest show ever created.

you may take a look at this clip : http://youtube.com/watch?v=HdrZr9ZBPIg
and just read the comments some people give.

people have lost respect towards Mothers..well, their mothers.

and just to recall a little bit, there’s a hadith which goes:
Narrated by Abu Hurairah :A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘O Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet said: Your mother. The man said, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man further asked, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man asked again, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet said: Then your father. (Bukhari, Muslim).

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr: Allah’s Apostle said. “It is one of the greatest sins that a man should curse his parents.” It was asked (by the people), “O Allah’s Apostle! How does a man curse his parents?” The Prophet said, “The man abuses the father of another man and the latter abuses the father of the former and abuses his mother.” (Bukhari)

need i say more? but of course, they do not know.

i wonder how most babies’ first word would be ma…ma..= mama?

well…at least somewhere outhere, in the MTV world, there are some people who do realise that they love their mother..
rewind to Spice Girls’ song Mama, for example…
