Can I please get a Source cover?

This phrase, from a Mystikal track is basically asking where the respect is. Everybody gets a cover from Source Magazine, but none for him.

So, my question is... "where is the respect?"

If you watch any TV, you may have seen one or all of my favorite commercials. They are the Geico Caveman commericals. Just hilarious without being over the top in the first one with no words, just him in the airport, seeing the "new" Geico campaing ad for the first time.

Anyway, now ABC has decided to make a sitcom about this same idea. Cavemen in modern day America and their day-to-day lives. Corey loves the commercials, so this should be great, right? Check out the press release from ABC.

Over the last hundred thousand years, mankind has evolved from primitive creatures into the sophisticated beings we are today, with the exception of a small minority who unfortunately didn't physically evolve.

Meet Joel, his younger brother Jamie, and his best friend Nick, three cavemen living in modern-day Atlanta. These cavemen continually find themselves at odds with contemporary society as they struggle to overcome their physical appearance and the accompanying stereotypes.

Joel is content with his life while pursuing the American dream, and has recently become engaged to Kate, a lovely Southern Caucasian girl. However, he must constantly vie for the respect of her conservative parents. Joel's relationship with Kate and his personal contentment are constantly being put to the test by Nick and Jamie's emotional demands..

Basing the show on their popular GEICO "cavemen" commercials, Joe Lawson, Will Speck and Josh Gordon (Blades of Glory ) have created a hilarious and thought-provoking social commentary on race relations in today's America.

Now, I've highlighted in red, some key items that I would like to point out. So, we (mankind) have evolved into what we are today except for a small minority. This minority lives in Atlanta and struggles to overcome the way they look and the associated stereotypes. Joel conforms to society and gets engaged to a white girl while trying to gain her parents respect.

Now, I know what you're thinking. Corey, you're reading too much into this. Well, did you read the last section? It's a hilarious and though-provoking commentary on race relations in America. If I'm reading too much into it, it's because it's what they intended me to do. I took the above DIRECTLY FROM ABC'S SITE.

I mean damn, in a world where you can count minority characters on one hand in major network shows and when they do, they are all grouped on one night. (Anybody ever watch the CW network on Mondays?) Now, not only do we not get a show, when they create a show about us, it's starring actors who play f-ing CAVEMEN!

Now, I have yet to see the show. You can watch a preview of it on ABC here It might be hilarious. It might be the new "Friends" and run for 10 years as a hit comedy (after ripping of the concept of "Living Single" but that's another tirade I won't get into now). Or it might be "Homeboys in Outer Space" Don't remember that show? Good.

I'll try to reserve judgement. But for now, I'll watch the commercials and wait for the end.
