Chris Brown, the twenty-two year old rapper and singer, performed tonight at the 2012 Grammy Awards just three short years after beating his girlfriend so badly she had to go to the hospital.

Sasha Pasulka of HelloGiggles.com, speaks of the desparity between amount of outcry over the Komen/Planned Parenthood situation last week compared to the Chris Brown performance this week:
<blockquote>We were so mad when the Komen Foundation pulled its funding for breast cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood. “This is not fair,” we shouted. “This is not fair to women, and this is not fair to the women who don’t have a voice, and we will not allow it.” We shouted it so loudly that Komen reversed its decision in three days. [.. <strong>Does domestic violence have a less sophisticated PR machine than Chris Brown does?</strong></blockquote>
I believe in giving people second chances, but Ken Ehrlich, producer of the Grammy award, released this statement that exhibits the fact that the management doesn't have a clue:
<blockquote>We’re glad to have him back. I think people deserve a second chance, you know. If you’ll note, he has not been on the Grammys for the past few years and it may have taken us a while to kind of get over the fact that <strong>we were the victim of what happened.</strong></blockquote>
Sasha Pasulka makes a good point later in her post when she says that she thinks Rihanna wants the whole situation to be done and over with, seeing as she may not want to be the new face of domestic violence or have anyone take pity on her.
