Except 100 times worse.
Promising, really? I respectfully disagree.

Personally, I was horrified that they danced down the aisle to that song on the Office, and every time a Chris Brown song comes on the radio I change it because I can't allow myself to support him in any way.
And it's not because I hate him and think he doesn't deserve to ever be forgiven, but I don't think he's truly sorry for what he did. I don't think he really understands what he did, which is why he's going on Larry King and Youtube and reading off a teleprompter. I think he's sorry about the consequences for what he did, but not the act itself.

This. And what's even greater is that watching the Rihanna interview last night, she knows it, too. Wish I'd had that kind of self-awareness when I was her age. #chrisbrownmtv

Sheila Wellstone was an advocate, organizer, and national champion in the effort to end domestic violence in our communities." #chrisbrownmtv

I think they could have very easily done something different and had it be just as funny.
On a different note: Was it ironic that Dwight kicked the bride's maid in the face..?

Chris: we do not like you. #chrisbrownmtv

HOWEVER, he is human and he does make mistakes. The fact that he recognises that he has made a huge mistake - one that will probably not ever be forgiven or forgotten by Rihanna or the public - is the only thing he can do now. Do you just want to condemn him as 'a beater' forever, and leave it at that? He is not allowed to participate in society at all anymore? And he doesn't need to apologise to YOU, the only person he needs to forgive him is Rihanna (if she even wants to). We can all condemn the action, but none of us have the right to condemn an individual that we have nothing to do with. #chrisbrownmtv

I would have more sympathy for him if it actually seemed like he was trying to look into his own heart and figure out why this happened and how he can avoid it in the future. Instead, he's just doing the old "oh, it was just that one time, I don't know what happened" thing, with a side of "why are people so mean to me?" He doesn't really seem to get it.
I don't have a problem with their being negative consequences for his image because of that. I don't think anyone is saying he "can't participate in society" anymore. Some people don't want to buy his music anymore, but no one's suggesting he be barred from employment of any kind forever. #chrisbrownmtv

You're certainly right, Brown has no reason to apologize to the public, but I see the fact that he is not as a sign of his persecution, but as a sign of his self-interest. He shouldn't do it, but he does it because he WANTS something from us, and he has to in order to get what he wants... or at least he feels that way. I just... hear the rhetoric and I have heard it before, and perhaps that is what most people are feeling: that they've heard this story from someone they loved, and this is a way to stand up to someone they've known, and Brown is sorta becoming a symbol for all the people we know that do something unbelievable and brush it off with, I'm sorry, get over it already.
Obviously I'm simplifying his reaction... but if you do something really awful, and then get caught, feel out how others are going to react, THEN try to make up for it seemingly to minimize the upheaval in your own life.... it comes off as very superficial. #chrisbrownmtv

I'm not feeling sorry for Chris, I'm just concerned that in the easy condemnation of those who commit that kind of violence, we lose the ability to really question it's existence. What problems do we, as a society, have that make this kind of thing a fairly common experience? It's pathological, when you think about it. There are some serious questions of our concept of masculinity and power/gender roles that need to be addressed in order to really get to the bottom of domestic, let alone all other kinds of, violence. And Chris Brown is hardly to blame for the wider issues surrounding this. It would be better if he publicly acknowledged his guilt and his repentance, but let's not project all of our hatred of domestic violence on to one person. #chrisbrownmtv

I will say, though, that I like the unequivocal stand he takes about abuse here. Much better than flexing his muscles and sneering on a waverunner. #chrisbrownmtv
