Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

Besides the fact that Missy Elliott's new Cookbook is, like every other album she's released, only just fair-to-middling (has ever such a great singles artist been so incapable of making a great album?), I'm rather peeved that almost no one's mentioned the incredibly offensive skit which precedes "Can't Stop." In it, Missy visits a nail salon - with the most appallingly stereotypical portrayal of an Asian nail tech possible ("You need exforiation!"). I know that, as the Avenue Q song says, "everybody's a little bit racist," but what a disappointment to learn that Missy thinks bigotry's good for a laugh.
