Controversy can be a great way to grab attention. Kanye West, Rush Limbaugh, and Miley Cyrus all use controversy to grab headlines. We pay attention, sometimes a bit slack-jawed at their audacity.
But there are lines out there people do not want crossed. If you cross them, you enter a sort of free fall that few survive.
know the line. Understand exactly where it is. Because blurring that line can be fascinating. Pushing the boundary feels so courageous. But step all the way across, and you're simply out of bounds. The audience boos. The game is over.
Push our boundaries all you want. We need it. Thank you for knowing and making the difference.
