Jackass seh de worl' no level. Jackass seh wat a daggarashan de Brawdcyastin Commishan gwaan wid ova de weeken'!

First of all, let Jackass state straight out. He har have habsolutely no problem with the Broadcasting Commission's ban on the daggering songs over the public airwaves.

Potential sexual predators

They are introducing sex, rough sex at that, to minors, making some of them with no strong adult guidance susceptible to sexual approaches by adults, as well as potential sexual predators on fellow children themselves.

And don't tell Jackass ... about 'parents and guardians are the ones who must be responsible for the songs their children listen to'. Even if someone is able to prevent their child from hearing about daggering, there are the children they have to come into contact with at school. Plus, there are those drivers who have the stuff blaring from their speakers, who seem to take pleasure in pulling up beside other cars in traffic and looking across to see the effect they have on other people - including those driving with children.

And Jackass is willing to bet that the people who play those daggering songs on the air would be mortified if they heard their children singing one of the tracks, or if another kid approached theirs with an invitation to 'dagga'. But there is a funny thing about people who do not come from the ghetto or who come from one and have moved up in life. They try their hardest to show that they are still so 'roots', going to the extreme to prove that they are one of the masses.

So, some radio disc jocks will play any amount of daggering songs, just to show that they are 'cool'.

With all that, though, the world is not level at all, if daggering can be banned from the airwaves, but Dollar Wine and such carnival proddings can be afforded a free run on television, live and in living colour. You can go on and on about the soca being subtle. There is absolutely nothing subtle about the jukking and wining that goes on in the streets.

Back Road slam

Of course, we know, in matters related to sex, the less money you have the nastier it looks. When a couple who should not be coupling heads to the North Coast for a discreet getaway it is called an assignation. When two people head to Port Henderson Road for a two-hour hotel stay it is called a Back Road slam. Upper class women have a 'procedure,' middle class women terminate a pregnancy and poor women 'dash weh belly'. So it goes, but a Dagga wine in a dancehall and a Dollar wine on television have exactly the same effect and the Broadcasting Commission must recognise this.

Of course, there is the matter of money, lots of money, to deal with, as it is the filthy wealthy who are at the heart of this carnival daggeration that is cloaked as dollar wine. And, that always tends to put a different spin on things.

Jackass seh de worl' no level. Jackass seh de dancehall people dem fi string up a big soun' an play pare daggarin' song pon carnival Sunday.
