Date: 2012-07-09 03:35 pm (UTC)this is YG's way of trying to create some more attention for no reason or make them seem more 'out of the norm/different'. it's just tacky and not tasteful.

Date: 2012-07-09 05:20 pm (UTC)Anyway, I really love the performance. The parrot thing was something I never seen before so when she walked on stage with it I was kinda stunned and amused by it since its something only 2ne1 would and can only do. People are overreacting. The birds weren't harmed and were only up there for like 5 minutes. You faux PETA need to sit down somewhere that doesn't have a stick poke you in your asses. rme
