Make way for the Islamo fashonistas


In yet another name change, George Bush has warned us about the latest threat - from Islamic fascists. And I am scared. But what really scares me are pelvic hip girating, newly liberated daughters of slaughter. Fascists + Islam = Fash-on. Haven't you seen the Old Navy ads? "Get yer Fash-on". Definitely a coded message to attack now.

"Don't forget me". Never did those words have a more ominous overtone than when falsettoed from the lips of Gulnara Islamovna Karimova, the daughter of Uzbek's president (also conviently named Islam), in her new music video Unutma Meni.

Following fast on the stilettoed heels of Osama Bin Laden's niece, Wafah bin Ladin, now know to the freedom lovin' western world simply as Wafah Dufour (couldn't she have picked a better name, like Bambi, she still sounds like a terrorist), Gulnara Islamovna is also parlaying her infamous lineage into a pop music career.

GooGoosha, her father's pet name for her, which means in Uzbeck "if you so much as look at my daughter, you will be eaten alive by magots and fed to my favorite Central Asian Ovcharka", dances in front of mighty waterfalls, and floats through the air past computer generated castles in a car that looks like an outtake from Chrysler muscle magazine. Magical.

Apparantly music is just a means to an end for GooGoosha. A political end, as she prepares to take over for her father next year. Running an outfit called the Terra Group wasn't enough. For the hardened people of Uzbekistan, only time will tell if they can weather this, most diabolical, form of torture. Forget Lebanon. MTV Uzbekistan - the new front in the global war on terror. Shut it down, George, shut it down.
