I am not here to
judge. After getting a divorce, go ahead and get your freak on, MJ.
But, after all these stories of MJ cheating on his wife and extensive
gambling, it might not be a good idea to make him a role model again,
Nike.
It is kind of
interesting to see my childhood and teenage heroes turn out to be
flawed assholes, like Hulk Hogan is one of the worst people on the
planet (in my opinion). And, yeah, Hogan is far worst than Jordan.
Then again, MJ kind of hurt his image by trying to come back to the B-Ball game after retiring.
Are these girls even old enough to even know who Michael Jordan is?
Hot Drunk Girl: "Weren't you in that Kazam Movie with that chunky kid?"
Jordan: "No, that was Mr. Shaq-Fu. I was in something even worst...Space Jam."
Hot Drunk Girl 2: "You're old enough to be my father."
Not only because I know all the sites she talking about, but
the fact she is even talking about the subject. I know that women go to porn sites too, a growing number of them
do, and I still find it a little strange. I usually hear them say, "because it's gross)
Despite the fact she’s talking about my favorite subject,
her low cut shirt is still distracting me. Anyway, you know we have a surplus of porn when people discuss which is site they prefer and give out reasons why they feel that way like they're ordering food. By the way, I honesty have no idea why this video popped up in my suggestions box on YT on the side. I looked up LSU Pizza Girl and this came up.
Sorry about not
updating the blog. I had to write a nearly 15 page paper (with group
notes and outlines) on news media law for our final. It almost
kicked my butt, but it proves that I can really get down to business
when it comes to deadlines.
While it wasn't
easy, I enjoyed every minute of it. And, now I believe I should
attempt to get some freelance work for some sites when I get a
chance. If you know of any offers for writing gigs, hit me up.
Anyway, the paper
came out much better than I even imagined.
Dixie Chicks'
Natalie Maines talks about the Bush-gate
It is
interesting that she talks about this incident after so many years,
(ten years ago). I felt Maines had the right to say whatever she
wanted. And, I agreed with her. However, I also felt it was a
little bit of a low blow to say what she said to a non-American
audience, because she was fully aware that kind of talk would have
never happened in an American concert full of rednecks. It just felt
a little underhanded to me. I don't think she thought it would have
viral.
I also think the
other two Chicks weren't too happy about the statement by Maines
after the fact. You better believe there was strain in their relationship.
Now, the
reaction from the country music fans was a bit of an overreaction.
Country stations refuse to play their music
and DJs were suspended for playing their music. It was down
right stupid in some cases. It was an comment made by a group called
the Dixie Chicks, relax folks. This is the same group that made the
song “Goodbye Earl”.
From
Huffington Post via US
Magazine, (("To me, I was right from the beginning,
because it's my right as an American to speak up and question our
President, have my point of view, have my opinion, question what I
want to question, and say what I want to say about our government,"
Maines said. "It's very scary to me that people actually think
we should just follow our leaders. If we can't learn from our
history, we're nowhere." ))
I begrudgingly agree with the first part of the statement, but it
would have made a bigger impact if you had said it in the US.
Given
the state of the Internet, you don't have to threaten women because
there are hundreds of sites out there with women willing to take
their clothes off. (Some for free!) Yet, he went through this whole
thing to get some topless pictures. That's right he hacked sites to
obtain the pictures. And, that's the reason I think he has mental
issues(In my opinion). Basically, this guy obtained nude pictures of
women and then threatened to reveal them unless they gave him more
nude pictures. Does that even make any sense? You already have the
pictures, and yet you're wanting more of the same. That digs you
into a hole deeper, bro.
The
FBI arrested him, because he's no mastermind. (He was the freaking
elephant in appearances.)
He
could see five years in prison where burly guys will be asking him to
take his clothes off.
You have to love
these historic rap battles. This one first starts out with a simple
battle between Stalin and Rasputin. But, Putin comes in at the end
at destroys them all, because he's total bad ass. And he did it without a shirt too.
And, I love those
beats too.
Best part for me
is when Stalin mentions defeating Hitler, and that's true.
Hmm, that was
rather bad ass. I've come to really like the first movie on second
viewing. It is actually a well put together movie. While this is a
different director, the new director is from the Game of Thronesstable of directors. That means he knows how to direct sword and
fantasy stories.
This movie seems
to take a darker appearance. I love the appearance of Loki
at the end of the trailer. Basically, Thor has to put his trust into
his former enemy. I love that Loki is kind of the Lex Luthor of the
Marvel movies.
While I hate the title (The Dark World), I can live
with it.
~Boston
Bombings: I've tried to stay away from mentioning the bombs because
I wanted to keep this blog somewhat upbeat and humorous. But, I do
need to say a few things. First, I love how most news companies
won't even mention
the fact that Reddit discovered the bombers way before even the
FBI released a photo of the suspects. While there were some
missteps, they did a good job pointing them out. Second, thanks to
all the cell phones and digital cameras, they were able to give a
step by step timeline of the events.
~Megan Fox as
April O'Neil: Everything about this news seems wrong. And, why is
Michael Bay even bothering to cast her after the mean things she said
about him? It doesn't make much sense. And, have we forgotten that
she is a piss poor actress? Anyway,
Megan Fox has already dyed her hair red. Why not get a hot
redhead that can act?
Hell, the pornstar April O'Neil would be a
better choice than Megan Fox. We know that Pornstar O'Neil is a better actress than Miss Fox.
~Harry
Shearer is being pulled from his radio home: He had this show on
the radio for about 29 years and now the radio station that was his
home is shifting his show to an Internet Only broadcast. At first, I
was against this, but given the state of radio now, it might be a
smart move. Basically, only people in LA won't hear him on the
airwaves. I remember the rather funny scene in Wayne's World 2 with
Shearer.
I used to play
the hell out of this game. I fondly remember playing it with my
brother all day. The good old days when you all you had to worry
about was playing too much Sega Master System or NES. Now, things
just suck.
Anyway, the
thing I really loved about this game was the kick ass music. While
the main title music is great, the Special Stage music was also very cool too. Take a listen below.
This track is
used when you hop on a special dragon start blowing things up.
Okay, this made me
laugh, mainly because of the reactions from the news people. Yeah,
they trolled him after the interview and check out Ryan's reaction
just as they cut away. Despite him being a “pinhead”, I think he
knew they were clowning him.
From
the Huffington Post, ((The
28-year-old swimmer, promoting his E! reality series "What Would
Ryan Lochte Do,"
))
Uh,
does everyone need a reality show? Even the boring stupid guys? This show will be a train wreck.
From
Blog Zap2it.com, ((Lochte
is literally dumbfounded, leaving the broadcast in complete silence
for a full six seconds before replying, "Good question ... My
philosophy is if you're a man at night, you gotta be a man in the
morning."
))
Jennifer Love
Hewitt makes an entrance with that damn dress...
Damn, girl.
Anyone that's
read this blog long enough knows that I love Miss Hewitt for two
reasons. And, this dress she's wearing puts them front and center.
While Mathew Perry is very interested in that dress and the stuff
that's in it, I'm sure Ellen had a bit a of female “boner” as
well. This is freaking JLH. You know Ellen was like, “Damn, I
want a piece of that.”
Like a fine wine,
JLH gets better with age. She
apologized for her revealing dress. Uh, why? If you got it or
paid for it, show it. I've been attracted to her since the 90s.
And, everyone
remembers the “What are you waiting for?”
From The
Huffington Post, (("After
Earth," the upcoming M. Night Shyamalan film starring Will
Smith and Jaden Smith, has been shifted to May 31. ))
Hmm, in many
ways this isn't a good sign, and I have to wonder if someone at the
studio is feeling a little uneasy about this movie. Keep in mind
this is a M. Night Shyamalan joint and you will notice they haven't
marketed the film with his name plastered over the titles like his
earlier movies.
I actually think
they want to distance themselves from Oblivion
which has a similar concept to After Earth. I mean they almost seem
like they could be set in the same damn universe. I am looking
forward to Oblivion over After Earth.
~Star Trek The
Motion Picture OST: I actually really dig this soundtrack a lot. I
am listening first track and I love Jerry Goldsmith's score. I am
listening to this as I write this.
~Glee
gets a season 5 and 6: Maybe I've grown out of the demographics
of Glee and let it pass me by. I just can't seem to really care for
the show anymore. It has moved away from the things I liked about
show and into “You see” type of issues instead. Tell a good
story and let the issues rise to the surface instead. Don't preach
and let the message take over for good storytelling. I think Glee
has fallen into preaching and not telling a good story. But, that's
not what people want these days, and FOX has a lot of faith in the
show. Fox doesn't usually do this sort of thing.
~Big
Bang Theory rerun beats American Idol: Finally something to be
happy about. While I don't watch the show, I am thrilled to see a
repeat of a scripted show beat the tired game show/reality show. It
should be noted not many people from AI seem to make it big anymore
and tend to lose fame as the year roll on. That Clay fellow and
Rubin aren't hot shit anymore. What about that curly haired dude
from the first season? Where is he now? Justin
Guarini
~Twitter Rant
again: After all these firings because of Twitter remarks. Are
people finally learning to watch what they say online via twitter? I
feel kind of bad that Adam Orth lost his job, but the guy was a
douche. I guess the good news is he is a meme now.
This is probably
the best video ever created. What is it with IHOP and foolish people? They might as well have a cop stationed at each place and arrest any hood-rats or thugs that act up.
1 Why is Boba
Fett chilling in a restaurant in Atlanta? He has a freaking ship and
he can go anywhere in the galaxy.
2 What happened
before we saw the cop grabbing the chick (s) by the hair? Did they
crap on his waffles?
3 Why would the
girl in the black dress throw some fists at the cop?
4 Watch the girl
that remained at the table afterward. She checks her freaking phone
for texts and calls. WTF? Your friend just got Rodney King-ed and
you felt it was more important to check your phone.
5 Boba Fett
actually has weapons that could have helped the cops.
Aubrey
Plaza storms onto stage and pulls a Kanye West
Miss
Plaza, I love you, but you look pretty silly here. Her reaction
afterward sort of proves that it wasn't a staged stunt. I love the
expression on her face after she made an ass of herself. It was a
“Wow, did I just do that?” expression.
Give me the Mother-Father Popcorn, Will!
Then
again, maybe it was made up. But her reaction during and afterward
seems real to me.
I
will note this; Why would any want to steal a MTV award anyway?
Maybe she thought she could actually eat the golden popcorn? Is
MTV's security so bad that they can't stop a Kanye West or a drunk
chick from strolling on stage? Where are the snipers with the dart guns?
At first, I
didn't like this song as much as his first global hit. However, I've
come to really like it and I laugh every time I see some of his
antics in this video. I love the “new” dance and the lead woman
really knows how to sway those hips.
The song is
another parody of those heavy electronic dance songs that have
infected our pop culture of late and I love that Psy keeps making fun
of it. It is carried over from his Gangnam Style.
The biggest
reason I love Psy is because he's making millions using the new style
of music making. If you make a popular video, people will then in
turn go out to buy it. If you make it viral enough, people will buy
it. Right now, the song has had over 76 million hits, beating out
Justin Bieber and that's good thing because I freaking hate
Beiber...a lot.
Yes, the swaying
hips dance is a slight modification of the Abracadabra dance from the
K-Pop group Brown Eyed Girls. You
can check out in all of its swaying goodness here. The girl
dancing with Psy is from that group (Brown Eyed Girls) and is
featured doing the modified dance. (Ga-In
)
I hate to say this,
but I actually like this song and the music video. I hate Chris
Brown as person and a singer. However, this song is very good and
well written. It is clearly heavily influenced by Michael Jackson's
Thriller and Off the Wall albums. The chord progressions and
“whoos”are clearly Michael Jackson.
I also like that
Chris Brown doesn't rely on auto-tune in this song like his other
songs. He uses his voice just like MJ. Plus, the guitar and bells
work in giving this song a bright feeling. I think this is in the
right direction for Brown and he should rely less on the
heavy-produced dance songs he's been into recently. I know people
don't like that he is using the 80s style of music here with the Off
The Wall feel of the song, but it works.
-The actress, while
very hot, isn't that good. Brown is actually better.
-Dr.
Pierre Chang
has returned. It is good to see the Doctor from Lost made it off the
island and turned to a life of crime in the triad.
-I like the neon
light effects in the city. That is clearly a MJ throwback too. The
lighting and color tones does bring you back to the 90s Micheal
Jackson era of music videos. The music video almost feels like it
shares the same universe as MJ's music videos.
-Heck, I even liked
the dance fight. But, Brown looks a little corny in some shots. Is
the man eating anything, because he's looking a bit thin?
-Did she get naked
in his car? I'm not complaining, I just wanted to point that out.
So, it ends on a
cliffhanger. Will they do a follow up? Who knows?
I am not a fan of
CB, but damn this is a nice nostalgia trip down the early MJ solo
road. And, it has a smooth sound it. Damn it, Chris, I like this
song.
~This is a busy time
for me with a ton of projects and tests coming up all around the same
time. I have a huge presentation coming up Monday and probably
another smaller one later. I also have a final where we have to work
in a group and come up with a paper. I love writing so that one is
actually going to be fun to work on.
~This
is the best review for a Brandy show I have ever see in my entire
life. She talks about having her heart dropping out of her
private parts and other colorful remarks. “She put everybody in a
motherf'ing casket.” She even mentions unicorn and rainbows and
she mentions orgasming in her pants and talks about the hair on her
butt.
And, Brandy needs to
meet this woman. I don't think I've ever been excited about anything
like this in my life. Not even caramel popcorn...
~The weather is
warming up, so I've been riding the bicycle again. This helps clear
my head and it keeps me from turning negative on myself. So, I am
looking forward to the summer break. I just got done with a bike
ride in the city a few minutes ago. I just have to keep positive and
not let the bad thoughts keep me down.
~Mad
Wife at Wrestlemania: She went to the same event as her cheating
hubby, whom was cheating on her. She brandished a sign with the
words, (("My
cheatin' husband's in 129 row 31 seat 7-3 (with the homewrecker)."))Yeah,
her hubby is a bit of an asshole. Leave your wife at home and take
out your mistress to a big event, that's just oozes a major asshole
(That didn't sound right). I have to give her credit for actually
buying a ticket herself and making a sign. I actually think this
isn't a bad version of public shaming. If you really don't want to
be around your wife, divorce her. Plus, you have to give her credit
for matching the pink color of her sign with her shirt.
~Worst
Mother Award?: Well, she might be as bad as the one in that Mall
taser video. She gets into an argument with another woman about
her child, which comes across as nonsense and proceeds to throw her
kid down and attack the other woman. I've learned two things in
life, avoid riding a bus and eating at a 24-hour restaurant.
Because, some of the same loud mouth ignorant people hang out in both
locations. I can only imagine the type of person this kid is going
to grow up to be because of the mother. Can we take this child away
from her? She
is in jail and the kid is with family members. This story
reminds me of that case where those two women were caught shoplifting
and left their baby in the cart and leaving the baby with security.
They then decided to go to the club afterward.
Anyone that has a meat belt and is a
superhero is okay in my book. I’ve seen
the short version of this ad, but this longer version is even better. I love the reaction from both the thief and
the woman. He's like an outcast from Kickass.
Criminals, you don't want him to slap you with his sausage.
The meat of justice…brilliant.I want this guy to be our superhero for
Louisville.Comrade Kielbasa will
protect our city.This actor sells it
with his bit with the meat of justice.
Now, this is marketing done right. It has that random feel that the Old Spice ads have been doing for years now.
I
guess I am required by law to mention that Louisville won the b-ball
championship. I have very little interest in organized sports, but I
guess I should say, “Go Card?” Since I live in this city, I think I have to say something.
After
rumors of the new XBOX going Online Always, guy working for
Microsoft decided to come to the defense of his company by sending
out rather amusingly funny mean tweets.
The
guy in question is Adam
Orth and he's become sort of a meme
because of it.
From
the Daily Dot,((Orth
took to Twitter yesterday to dismiss anyone who complained about the
rumors that the next generation of Microsoft’s Xbox gaming console
might be an "always-on" device, meaning that it will
require a constant Internet connection to work, even if you’re not
playing online.
))
Here's
the thing, Microsoft has had this attitude a lot of the years,
clearly not as much as EA, but they've made statements like this
before. It seems the dick-ness seems to be enhanced by the Twitter
format.
After
some stupid exchanges with mad fans, he left this Obama meme in
response.
And,
we now have another person working for a big company acting like a
total ass on twitter. Best part of the story is that
Orth has now become a meme called Always Online Adam Orth. And,
Microsoft had to make a statement because of his douche baggy-ness.
Also, Daily Dot says that Orth has made his Twitter account private.
Real smooth, Orth.
When
are people going to learn that Twitter isn't your friend? I feel
kind of bad he left his job, but you really need to step away from
tweeting, guys.
You
backed into “Skater” and he flew into the air. That was when you
blew him up with a rocket launcher. That was a bit of a overkill.
I
watched this clip on the Red
Letter Media site and laughed at the crazy action that took
place. There is so much that is cool and really bad about this scene.
The movie goes by the name Hard Ticket to Hawaii and is directed and
written by the infamous (late) director Andy
Sidaris.
And, like his other movies, it is full of boobs and cheap action.
~First
off, smoking weed doesn't you can do wild tricks like that.
~Second,
the villain’s name is Skater. How original. How many skater
assassins do you know?
~What
was the point of riding pass them the first time only ride pass them
again trying to kill them?
~What
is up with sex blowup doll? Why is he carrying it? Was he trying to
conceal his weapon from the two dudes in the jeep? If that was the
case, it didn't work.
~One
guy in the jeep, the driver, gets shot and he shrugs it off.
~
Did you have to blow up the doll too? That just seems like a waste
of ammo.
Having
a shower follow you where ever you go is brilliant. I'd loved to sit
in the meetings when they came up with these ads. Old Spice has
always made some freaking funny ads over the years.
Some
have noted that it seems strange that Procter & Gamble has aimed
at the soap bar market. From
ABC News,((Bar
soap sales edged up just 1 percent in the U.S. between 2007 and 2012
to $1.62 billion, according to the firm's data. Meanwhile, body wash
revenue jumped 30 percent during the same period, to total $2.44
billion.
))
That
partly has to do with the aggressive marketing companies have done
over the years for body wash soap. The message is simple: Body Wash
will get you laid.
And,
I am not going to lie, their body wash is very good, but very
expensive.
