Is Beyonce Making You Stupid?

A PhD student named Virgil Griffith can look forward to the wrath of B-Unit (Beyonce stans are not to be played with) for releasing a study that says fans of the likes of Mrs. Carter, her husband, and Justin Timberlake are among the least intelligent people around.
Sunday morning I got up, jigged to “Get Me Bodied,” and then proceeded to read Frank Rich’s column in the New York Times. After that, I spotted this story. I got your stupid, Mr. Griffith.
Griffith analyzed the artists that students listed on social networking Web sites — then compared that to their test scores. So who are the better test takers listening to? U2, Radiohead, and Bob Dylan.
Basing intelligence on standardized tests and citing Bono’s playlist as the soundtrack of the intellectual has a hint of racial and cultural bias to me.
To that I say President Obama likes “Single Ladies” and “99 Problems.” I don’t think he listened to those songs and said to himself, “You know, who needs to speak English correctly?” so take that, take that, Virgil.
