Scrub Me Mama with a Boogie Beat

Scrub Me Mama with a Boogie Beat

Well, this is certainly racist...Found this little racist gem via Reddit and it is pretty bad.

-Red Lips and dark skin are in full effect here: Actually, it might even more offensive because missing teeth and sheer laziness.

-Lazy Town: Yes, this town is called Lazy Town, just like the one with the little girl that tries get people to workout . This one is full of racist characters while her town is full of puppets.

-The Light-Skinned Woman: This is probably where I need to explain something a little bit more. The way they draw and animate her is completely different from the rest of the characters in the short film. They draw her with a real figure and pretty features. Sure she's a black person, but she has white features, which makes her better than the rest of the people in town, or that's what they're trying to imply.

High-Yellow (light-skin women) were seen as being a higher value to black men than dark skinned women back in the day. It was a sort of status symbol in a way. My grandmother was so light that she could almost pass for a white woman. I know that my grandfather married her for her light-skin. These are the same issues we have with black people saying, “You got 'good hair'”. Meaning it is straighter than usual(thus white).

Let me say it in a better manner with this quote from Weird Wild Realm.com, ((I doubt anyone thought about it when designing this beauty, but among the traits they selected was the fact that she's a "yaller gal," only a half-shade short of passing for white, derived from the standard racist assumption that white people are prettier than black people. And to make sure this lie is believable, every truly dark character in this cartoon is designed to be ugly. ))

And, the fact she is the one that “teaches” them how to be productive and fun is a little crazy too. A light-skinned city girl comes into a backwater town and teaches them the proper way of boogie-ing. Even today, lighter toned black women are viewed differently than darker ones.

-We also get the big girl with the crossed eyes and the watermelon eating guy: Oh, boy.

-Should these cartoons be banned?: Nope, I think they need to be watched and discussed because they are a product of that time period (1940s). We need to compare these toons to the ones we have today. And the animation did pave to way for even better animation.

I would say we've come a long way, but I remembered the character of Mr. Popo...

Al Leong: Hey, it's that guy

Al Leong: Hey, it's that guy

You've probably seen this guy in your favorite movie or TV show. He's the Asian guy with the long hair and cool mustache. You will remember him from that scene where he steals candy from that shop in Die Hard. And, he improvised that scene with the candy stealing. He's been both a stuntman and an actor for many years. He's the blue collar guy in the movies.

He's the bad ass dude that plays the “Thug” or “Henchman”. I am not making that up either. He's always listed in that manner.

Wing Kong Hatchet Man

Chinese laborer #2 

Chow's Henchman

Thug at Boat 

Chinese Thug

Chinese Man

Fong's Bouncer

Yep, he's the guy that has been killed by everyone. Heck, he was killed by John McClane and Jack Bauer  and that's impressive. He was also killed by an Ice Cream cone in one movie!

Sadly, it looks like he's retired from the movies. He stopped acting in 2005.

Final Fantasy Concert: VII Battle Music

Final Fantasy Concert: VII Battle Music 

Battle Montage time! Man, this is a kick ass version of all the battle music from FFVII.

Random Battle Music: While I think FFVIII's battle music versions are better, but I still like this one too.

J-E-N-O-V-A : I like the descending notes.

Booty Pillow

Booty Pillow: with 100% less farts.

Are you tired of that real booty feel on your face, fellas?  Try our butt pillows instead...

And, I thought the Uro Club was stupid. This one takes the cake...ass cake. Okay, I am black guy and I know this reinforces the stereotype, but we do like a good booty on a woman. I like big butts and I can lie. But, I can't see myself buying this product at all. Sure, sleeping on a woman's rear could have many hazards to it. If you slept on Kim-K's butt, you could lose an ear or eye if she farted. It is just not sound judgment. But, do I need a pillow shaped like a woman's butt? Nope, I'm good.

~If you have problems sleeping because you can't rest on a woman's ass, you have more than a sleeping disorder. You have a human disorder you freak.

~Would you bring this thing outside? People might just call you a freak.  I bet the same people use uro club in the same outing.  

~Did you really need to add the thong back to the pillow?  

And, the creepy thing is they're not the only booty pillow company in town. I find that strange.

 Hmm, having two hot women "getting it on" in the same bed might keep me awake.  I certainly wouldn't be using my Booty Pillow.  

_________________________________________________________________

I don't know.  She seems pretty happy with his dome on her rear.  

Uro Club

Uro Club

My God, man.  What are you doing under that towel?    

At first I thought this was a fake product, but it is very much real. Matco Enterprise seems to be the company behind this silly product. From the website, ((How many times has this happened? You?re playing 18 holes with your best buddies, drinking sport-?ades?, water, beer, etc. You?re coming up to the 3rd hole with no rest room in sight. There are no trees or bushes around and you just have to go, what are you going to do?))

So, peeing into a golf club is okay? If there comes a time when I have to choose between pissing in a hollowed out club or pissing in the woods or grass, I'd choose the woods or grass. And, I'd find it very disturbing to cart around a tube full of your own urine while you play golf. Who would buy such a thing?

And, don't get me started with the foolish towel. Wearing that towel will just make people think you messed yourself or worst f'ing your golf club. The “privacy” towel just brings attention to your crotch area given that you have a club sticking out of there.

And, I have to ask...Is there a female version of this product? I am certain there are female golfers out there that have to pee after being out there. 

Nothing good will come of this product. I guess this is for people that have extra income and want to waste some cash on something stupid.

Shaq vs. Aaron Carter: Rematch

Shaq vs. Aaron Carter: Rematch

Where did they dig up Aaron Carter? Given all the crap that Shaq has made, I actually like this skit. Aaron Carter was in his prime and Shaq was really blowing up at this time. Think of Aaron Carter as a better version of Justin Bieber  . Also, Shaq does receive some cool points for mentioning one of his horrible movies in the bit. (Kazaam ) I would have given him more if he said, “Time to break out Shaq-Fu on your candy ass, Carter.”  I guess Shaq is in on the joke.  

It is hinted that Shaq has some magical powers in this music video.  A prequel to Kazaam?  

Carter is going to show you his Blue Chips, Shaq.  

Do you want him to shoot it?  

AT&T vs. T-Mobile: Them’s fighting words

AT&T vs. T-Mobile: Them’s fighting words

T-Mobile’s new CEO called AT&T’s network “Crap”.  And, AT&T took that to heart and started taking ads attacking T-Mobile.  When AT&T rolled out the attack ads, T-Mobile came out with better attack ads.  Look, I love this sharp fighting between companies because it means savings for customers.   When you have a just one company running things, you get poor service and a poor product.  (Sadly, we'll probably see this happening to the videogame market, because I don't think Nintendo will be in the console business too much longer. ) 

AT&T ad

T-Mobile

 Well, you do bring up an interesting point, T-Mobile.  I also like the crumpled old AT&T ad toward the bottom.  

I'd say the first round goes to T-Mobile

Iron Man 3 Trailer 2

Iron Man 3 Trailer 2

Well, that was certainly cool.  This trailer gives us a bigger insight into the greater overall storyline and how it connects to the overall Marvel universe. I really like this trailer better than the last one.  It certainly feels like the Dark Knight Rises of the Iron Man movies.  A powerful foreign foe comes in and takes away all of the hero's support and beats him down.  The hero has to come back with more power.  Every superhero goes through this trial by fire.  

Notes

-Dating Pepper Potts?:  The trailer seems to imply that.  They kind of had a thing in The Avengers. 

-Ben Kingsley’s The Mandarin:  I am still not sold on this character.  I don’t like Kingsley’s voice and accent.  What are they going for here? 

-Jon Favreau:  From the other trailer, it looks like his character doesn’t make it out alive. 

-New President:  Was this guy elected because of the invasion in New York in the Avengers?  Very nice continuity. 

-The Air Force One clips is very impressive.

-Tony being a super-man: After losing it all, it seems like he will take certain drugs to become super powered.

-The Backup scene: Well, that was cool. Are they manned Iron Man suits are robotic ones?

-Hulkbuster: Oh, and that last clip is of Tony's new armor called the Hulkbuster from the comic books. Does it actually have the hulk in it? Probably not, but it is nice to see the continuity. It is used just in case the Hulk gets out of control.  

Michelle Malkin dance: You failed…

Michelle Malkin dance:  You failed…

“That is why you failed,” Yoda says.  It is not very funny.  While it is lame, she does seem to be having fun here.  Look, anything makes this unhappy woman smile is okay in my book.  Some needs to give her a big hug and tell her it will be okay.  

She is always angry.  And, we all know that she needs a pick-me-up after losing the election. 

Michelle, you’re too cute to let that frown be a permit fixture on your face.

Random Stuff

~Joan Rivers, you have no room to talk: Yeah, she made two fat jokes about Adele. I'm all about making fun of people and their appearances, but Rivers probably went a bit too far with her attack. Rivers has no room to talk about anyone's looks given that her face is so warped that she can barely move it at all. Come on, Rivers. It is time to give it up. Yeah, she is overweight, but she sure can sing. And, given the state of pop music today, I'd take 20 Adeles over Gagas any day. Rivers has become a poor parody of herself over the years. Should Joan apologize for her remarks? Nope, but I just think she should apologize for showing us that messed up face of hers, yuck.

~Mitt Romney attacks Obama over Sequester: Romney appears out of thin air and decides to add his two cents in the sequester deal. This is a guy that had a chance to beat a President that was very unpopular before the campaign, but some manage to lose to Obama badly. This is the same guy that didn't write a concession speech because he ignored the data that stated he was going to lose. And, now you play armchair politics? Remember, you lost.

~Faizon talks about Katt Williams pulling a gun on him: Yes, Katt Williams is truly crazy. Faizon brings up a good point about snitching and that people had a problem with him “snitching” than Williams pulling out a gun. Williams really needs to seek some help before he really hurts someone or himself.

F’ The Harlem Shake

F’ The Harlem Shake

Actually, the mash up with Gangam Style and that Jay-Z song is nice.  Can you spot all the Internet memes? 

And, yes most of the screaming remixes are annoying too with the exception of the Nic Cage one.  

Jay Leno being pushed out of The Tonight Show?

Is Jay Leno being pushed out of The Tonight Show? 

From The Hollywood Reporter, ((The network says categorically no, but two high-level industry sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that NBC is moving toward a May announcement that the 2013-14 television season will be the last for Leno as host of the long-running late-night show))

Keep in mind that this is all under rumors stories. 

I am not a fan of Leno and I think he plays it too safe with his show.  His skits aren't that funny either.  And, don’t get me started on the whole O'Brien issue.  Leno had a chance to simply walk away rich and with some respect, but he didn't take that route and pretty much helped shove O’Brien out the door. 

This time around it has to do with demographics.  Jimmy Kimmel brings in the younger viewers (18-49); while Leno’s safe humor brings in the old folks.  I hope Kimmel does win the nighttime wars. 

Would you see Leno making fun of Melissa Joan Hart? 

Kimmel has always had an edge to him and he isn’t afraid to attack someone, in the same manner as Letterman. For once, I think it would be a good idea to bring in Jimmy Fallon.  While Fallon isn't as edgy as Letterman and Kimmel, he'd bring in the younger demo.  

Hey, Leno can go back to being the Doritos Guy. 

Mr. Rodman goes to North Korea (And, no one cares)

Mr. Rodman goes to North Korea (And, no one cares)

Hey, Rodman, the 90s wants you back. Why the f' did he visit North Korea and does anyone care? I mean Dennis Rodman is such an artifact from the 90s that no one really cares about about him. He's that slutty chick that everyone remembers from ten years ago, but doesn't want to see today at the current parties. Rodman was a byproduct (discharge?) of the 90s. When he wasn't getting attention for being a normal player, he dyed his hair and started acting strange. He went on to be huge in the 90s with movies (Double Team) and TV shows and videogames. However, as the 2000s rolled in, there really wasn't a place for “The Worm”.

Besides, we now have a new pack of fools that will do anything for fame.  

So, Rodman would do anything to say in the spot light. Now, he's been visiting North Korea.

Now, there seems to be an answer to this strange question. The Vice guys are somewhat involved in this stunt. Now, keep in mind we'll probably not get a far left leaning view like Oliver Stone, because they already had an eye-opening special when they got into North Korea years ago. And, NK wasn't put into a good light. That's fine and well, but why dig up a 90s fossil for this stunt?

As some are stating, Rodman knows more about Kim Jong-un than most of the people in the US and South Korean governments. Yes, the guy from Simon Sez  and that stupid Dead/Alive Volleyball game knows more about the reclusive Jong-un.

Heck, they're now friends. From Sault Star.com, ((Asked how his visit might help, Rodman told the agency: “About the relationship, no one man can do anything. His country and his people love him. I love him, he is an awesome guy.” ))

No word if Rodman added Jong-un on his Facebook page.
