What do you call it when God gives you a vision? When you are Howard Beale (Network) or Moses\/Abraham (the Bible) or Raven Baxter (That\u2019s So Raven)? I received a vision from God yesterday afternoon: That\u2019s enough of that, God said. Time to wrap up this whole Kelly Clarkson versus the Brooklyn Heights magic shop business.<\/p>\n

Was Kelly Clarkson, wearing a big T-shirt and a Fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven backpack, unfairly profiled as a white woman who couldn\u2019t afford a $15,000 animatronic bird, rather than as a white woman who could afford a $15,000 animatronic bird? Was it punching down for her to complain about a patronizing sales associate? Is Clarkson\u2019s complaint \u201cvintage Twitter drama,\u201d the kind that \u201ccelebrities don\u2019t do anymore?\u201d Is the shop now \u201cin danger?\u201d Has anyone decided whether the shopkeeper is annoying? Is the bird actually for sale or was it just accompanied by a price tag (that has since been replaced, the price upped to $15,000,000)? Is there really a man in Seattle who made the animatronic bird? Was Kelly Clarkson wrong to double down? Is the shop milking the attention unjustly? Did the shop leak video of the exchange to Pulitzer Prize-winning sports reporter Pablo Torre? Did the security footage exonerate Kelly Clarkson or validate her? Has anyone asked the bird what it thinks? Did the bird want to be bought? Does it see a cut of any of that money?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More from Hung Up this week: News so big I discussed it in therapy today: Girls is coming…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":374339,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-374338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=374338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374338\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=374338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=374338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=374338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
