Observation

I caught the beginning of the Justin Timberlake special on HBO tonight, right when he was performing "Senorita." There's a part in the song where he does a to/from call (or whatever it was called) between the men and women. I was a bit confused. When he had the guys do their part it stayed focused on Justin and the male members of his band, but when they did the female call the cameras cut to the audience where hundreds of young, probably hormonal women, let out the chant without so much of a reminder of what they were supposed to be saying and you could hear it echo throughout Madison Square Garden. They went back to the men's portion and once again it cut to Justin and his band, and there was no such echo from the men in the audience. "I wonder," I wondered, "why they're showing the female audience of the crowd and not the men."

And then I had a revelation: This was a fucking Justin Timberlake concert. There were no men in the audience.
