will.i.am in the Black Eyed Peas in "Where is the Love?"

In any case, the lyrics to most of his songs are pretty tame.

But what if a FIRST student (FLL, FTC, FRC) sees the page, wants to learn more about Will.i.am and comes across some of his or the Black Eyed Peas inaproprait songs (which there are certainy some)? I don't want to think what a middle school FLL student would think of some of those songs, let alone their parents.

Maybe it doesn't matter to the folks who have made this decision and put it in motion.

*shrugs*

I'm thinking about the part of Dr. Flowers speech at Kick Off with the arrows.

Popular Culture had an arrow pointing down and FIRST Culture had an arrow pointing up. I'll be sticking w/Dr. Flowers arrows and not getting lost in the confusion of spinning arrows, even 'temporarily'.

P.S. Meredith's point about a FIRST link being on will.i.am's website is spot on.
