[MattK]

The Video

[Elgin Clock]

Good Stuff...


And is that the "Bewitched" riff that they are using?
No, but very similar... What song is that from? Oh man... I can't remember.

[KarenH]

Is the title of this video "Segways and Sleaze?"

[Adam Y.]

Lol..... I noticed at some points they aren't even riding the Segways.

[Ryan F.]

Oh wow...that was quite um....humorus?

I can't wait until my next "party" where everyone will be turning in circles on segways. Wild

This video is terrible. I dont even know who this gangsta rapper is but this sure won't help the image of Segways. This ghetto thug kind of exposure is not the kind of publicity that Dean would like to have for the Segways.

Any publicity is good publicity for the Segway now? I wonder if this is how Shaq found out about the Segway (he rides one around his house).

Yes, because the behavior touted in those kinds of music video's and gangsta rap is bad for kids and teaches them a bad lifestyle.


/me wonders where everyone's morals have gone...

Perhaps you need to get a fair and balanced view of rap music by listening to more of it. Congratulations on your job as spokesman for Segway, LLC.

I might not agree with that kind of lifestyle but for someone to call a lifestyle "Bad" is a bit out of line in my opinion.

Its all a matter of perspective

This world is so filled with fantasies. This is truly immoral. Why? When a kid is born, the brain is neutral, neither negative nor positive. It's what they see, hear and feel, which builds them up, and they act on what they have now been built on.

David Kelly has a very strong point here, let's assume you are the kid watching the video, coming from a not-so good background. What would he/she do? Obviously think that the video says the right things, and start following it. Society has changed, and we need to go along with it, but know the right ethics at the same time, because what you do today, might continue for a many generations to come. If some of you wonder how some families continue to be wealthy and honored for many generations, its because they have a continuing tradition, which has been kept going, and is hard to break.

At the same time, lets assume the kid learnt the right things, from the right people, learnt to be a hard-worker, learnt to get involved in FIRST and become JVN, or Andy Baker, or Woodie Flowers, or Dean Kamen, or Jessica Boucher, or Amanda Morrison, or Ken Leung, or David Kelly, or some good person like them.. Isn't that a much better life to live? This is life, choose what you really want?


At the same time, I am not saying I don't like rap or anything, I listen to rap, and act ghetto at times, but I come from strong roots and never get lost in some of the fantasies of this world

Really for the sake of argument, this leads us to what is truly right and what is wrong? (See Billfred's post)

I do see what you're saying, it's a matter or perspective...
