Here at SmakNews, we are all about promoting “smak talk.” After all, what better way to release long hours of stress and work if not by dishing out your honestly annoyed opinions about some of the most unworthy subjects of media spotlight. But who knew that one of pop culture’s most celebrated smak-talker will out-do everyone in the entertainment/gossiping blog ring?
Eminem, formally known as Marshall Mathers, or infamously known as the “Slim Shady,” has done it again with his latest video, “We Made You” which we’ll share with you here only after providing you with the appropriate warning: beware, vicious smak-talking ahead!
Perez Hilton, we know what you’re thinking, why didn’t you think of this sooner? Instead of your daily blog rants and amateur white-off graffiti - you could have invested in a Dr. Dre produced beat and heavily funded music video.
Eminem puts into song (or rap verse) what we all read from blogs, what we all see on TMZ TV, and what we (sort of) feel about those rotten spoiled stars ourselves, and raises the amp meter to about…hmm, say 10x stronger? Eminem targets Brett Michaels, Amy Winehouse, Lindsay and her once lover Samantha, Kim Kardashian, Ellen Degeneres and many more.
But is this sort of malicious mocking taking the idea of “smak talking” too far?
Many blogs are saying Eminem’s insults are chauvinistic, hating on not only female celebrities excessively but sexualizing political figures (ahem, Sarah Palin) and poking fun at homosexuality. But what are the direct, so-called “victims” of these attacks saying? In her blog, Kim Kardashian reveals how “flattered” and “honored” she is by Eminem’s selection to spoof her throughout the video.
Hmm… smak-talking perceived as “flattering”? Well, I guess that statement could just make the rest of us smak-talking social site goers a bit more prompted to keep the flattering coming 
Alas, the message here gathered from the “king” (he likes to dress up as Elvis) is simply: go big or go home with your smak talk. Otherwise, how else are you going to know you made it?
