What is that "putting lipstick on a pig" saying again?  Or is it a pop star?
 Random Thoughts
~I'm not sure where I am going to apply next for a newspaper gig, but it looks like the school newspaper won't give me a call. And, that's okay, but a bit troubling.
~Kanye West gets into a little hot water over his Twitter remarks: Please, someone take the Twitter away from celebrities. Twitter has caused more harm than good for people. Remember, that Ashley Todd has a Twitter account, the one that scratched a “B” on her face. Kanye Made some remarks about women getting knocked up and trying to get cash for abortions. Kanye is a bit off, but not controversial. There are certainly women that use a child as a paycheck, but not for abortion money.
~Justin Bieber, can he just go away?: Why is this guy getting more fame and stories than anyone else in the world? I can't take a dump without hitting a story about this guy. Just why was he on CSI again? Why is his Ellen haircut even news via twitter?
~Cop Rock review: Before Glee, there was a show that was part cop show and part musical. I am still shocked a network decided to make the show in the first place. But, I wonder if the show would be popular today.

Bree-Olson-84893

GenesisOnline - While allegedly still vacationing with Charlie Sheen, his ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, and rumored new girlfriend, model/ex-nanny, Natalie Kenly in the Bahamas, Olson took to her Twitter this weekend to defend the A-List star’s recent media outbursts saying:
“I don’t do drugs and neither does anybody around me. I used to drink occasionally and don’t even do that anymore. Yeah, I love sex, so what?”
Since Friday, Sheen’s so-called “wild antics” are reportedly the cause of his top-rated television show, ‘Two and a Half Men” to shut down production until he gets better. Rumor has it, that the show has been canceled for good. Dr. Drew Pinksy, an addiction specialist to the stars is saying that despite Olson’s defense that Sheen is clean, Sheen is portraying, “Bi-polar, manic symptoms.”

So Charlie's vacationing in the Bahamas with three chicks. Why are people worried about him again? Damn, my life sucks....

TAMPA - An argument over beer turned into a machete attack over the weekend, police say. Officers received a report of an attack in progress at 1613 1/2 East 24th Avenue around 9:30 p.m. Friday. When they arrived, Ricardo Watson, 64, had been cut three times. "The officers were able to grab the defendant and take her into custody," according to a statement. The suspect is identified as Veronica Watson, 45. She and Ricardo Watson are brother and sister-in-law and have lived at the residence for several years, the statement said. Ricardo Watson was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. Veronica Watson faces aggravated battery charges.

Not cool, Veronica, not cool. Let me drop a little wisdom on ya. Bahtendah wisdom. Beer, my little machete-wielding cutie, is for sharing. Grab a couple of cold ones, hang with your peeps, shit on the neighbors in the double-wide trailer next door and ride the buzz. Machetes are not part of the equation, never will be. If and when you get bailed out, I'll give you a do-over. But lose the machete and work on your sharing. Pay attention!

PS - Where are all these machetes coming from?  And what are they used for when you're not slicing up a relative?  Is there that much jungle in Orlando that everyone in that hell-hole is whacking their way to work in the morning?

ORLANDO - A man was found dead in his van just a few feet away from the entrance to a Walmart, and police said he may have been there for days. Shoppers said they noticed Luis Ramirez living in his van in the South Semoran Boulevard shopping plaza for several weeks. The 70-year-old was found slumped over his steering wheel about noon Sunday. For the crowd that gathered and the few that had seen him before, it was tough to watch. Many were afraid they had watched him slowly starve to death. "I see him ducking down and he's got his like clothes hung up inside the van he should go to a shelter or hospital or something," said shopper Lamont Bagley. It will be up to the medical examiner to try to figure out how Ramirez died and when but police don't suspect foul play.

And once again, this is why Florida, the penis of America, needs to be cut off. Are you freakin' kiddin' me? People were walking past this dude for weeks, parked right in front of the store entrance and nobody called the cops, nobody told the store management, nobody said a word? There must have been tens of thousands of customers that saw what was goin' on and - nothing. Nobody smelled anything?  Oh, that's right, it's Florida.  Already smells like shit.  Time to castrate Florida. Bang. Pay attention!

World’s worst Bank robbery…and cops
Yes, it took the bank robber 3-4 minutes to actually break through the bulletproof glass.  The whole of point of robbing a bank is to get in and out in a matter of minutes, and not to take your time breaking the glass window.  I also like the fact the security woman calmly stands there and calls the police right in front of him. 
This guy is not the Joker from the Dark Knight.
The police don’t appear any better in this clip too.  They try to catch him by his leg as he tries to get out of the window.  Then they shoot at him through the hole in the window.  


Tits on Trial

NTNews - TITS out Tuesday is not adult entertainment, it is just young men and women "having a laugh." That is what lawyer John Lawrence told the Licensing Commission. The infamous wet T-shirt competition at a Darwin nightclub - known by patrons as Tits out Tuesday - is on trial for allegedly breaching adult entertainment guidelines. Mr Lawrence, who represents Discovery nightclub, said those guidelines are meant for strippers, not women taking part in a wet T-shirt competition. "It is for professional strippers performing in bars full of men ... it is not there to address young, adult women voluntarily agreeing to take part in a competition - it is there to keep the blokes back," Mr Lawrence said. Tom Anderson, lawyer for the Director of Licensing, said the club should be suspended from trading for a period of time as punishment for the alleged breaches.

Let's go mates, get the movement started! Who knew the Aussies were such prudes? Tits out Tuesdays sounds like the perfect way to break up the work week down under. Power to the people!  Free the boobs! Free the boobs! Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!

Mother Accidentally Shot by Son, Father also Injured

BAY MINETTE, Ala. - The Baldwin County Sheriff's Office said a small child accidentally shot his mother, after finding the gun near his injured father's side. Around 9:00 p.m. the BCSO was alerted of the shooting at 4621 old Carney Road in Bay Minette. When they arrived to the home they found Allen and Aleisha Jones injured by gunshot. The couples two small children were at the residence when the incident happened. Their daughter was upstairs asleep at the time of the incident. When questioned by authorities, Mr. Jones stated he had taken his Glock .40 handgun from the glove compartment of his truck. He was walking to the house when he tripped and fell, then accidentally shot himself in the leg just above the knee. Jones yelled to his wife for help. Aleisha was upstairs bathing their young son when she heard her husband's call for help. When she arrived on the screened porch, she tried to secure the gun but her son beat her to the gun. After attempting to take the gun from the child, a round was fired. Aleisha was hit in the left side of her neck. A neighbor heard the gunshots and cries for help and came to Aleisha's aid. Her Husband called 911. When authorities arrived, Allen and Aleisha were transported to USA in Mobile. Investigators say both individuals stories parallel each other. At last report, the Jones' were in stable condition. Injuries do not appear to be life threatening. There are no charges at this time.

Am I the only one not buying this? Why was the dude bringing his Glock into the house? My bet is that he was gonna go postal on the whole family or at least the wife. No safety on? Finger on the trigger? It says here Mr. Jones was up to no good. Pay attention! (And get the women and children out of the house!)

Growing Craps


Can you imagine the sheer power of D-baggy-ness of within this photo, I found on Amber’s blog “Nostomanic”Kirk Cameron alone can fill the room of shitty-ness, but the added power of Jeremy Miller gives it more staying power. 
So, what happened to Jeremy Miller?  He rested on his laurels from Growing Pains and sort of retired.  You know it is a sad time when he receives less work than Kirk Cameron

This guy's got balls the size of church-bells. One of the thieves has a gun and the owner just doesn't give a shit. Try to rob me? I don't think so. See, I haven't paid my insurance premiums, so you're stealing right off the family dinner table here and that just ain't gonna happen. Great job Mr. Shopkeep - first round at the Speakeasy's on me.

Has this guy never seen one of those blue things before? Now, I'm tempted to cut him some slack 'cause it seems like he's in a foreign country and we all know they do some seriously strange shit in foreign countries. But a piss trough is a piss trough and a urinal cake is a urinal cake pretty much all over the world. Final verdict - you're a moron. Bang! Pay attention.

Sheen: "Hey, at least we're not in prison.  Am I right fellas?"
Bernsen:  "Being on Two and Half Men is Prison enough, Charlie.  Am I right?" 
_____________________________________________________________________
Yes, there was a Major League 3 called Major League: Back to the Minors and it starred Scott Bakula post Quantum Leap.
Well, Sheen needs to keep his drug and pornstar train rolling and it runs on green stuff.  And, it keeps getting better.
From Screen Crave, ((According to EW, Morgan Creek “currently have a script for another sequel from David Ward, who wrote the screenplay for the original. This time around, the Indians convince Vaughn, Willie Hayes (Wesley Snipes), and Pedro Cerrano (Dennis Haysbert) to re-join the team as bench players to help salvage their season, but complications ensue when Vaughn’s long-estranged son, born out of wedlock, joins the team from the minors.” Unfortunately, Corbin Bernsen’s character Roger Dorn won’t be in the mix this time. ))
Well, Wesley Snipes is in prison and Dennis Haysbert is busy with insurance ads and being president. Corbin Bernsen is Q2 and being Corbin Bernsen. When you can't get CB to come back, you know you are in trouble because he was third and shittier version of the franchise part 3.
As I stated before, Sheen isn't exactly in the best shape for another run in the Major League franchise. I loved the first movie, but didn't really like the second one. I've never seen the third one.
Wild Thing, you make my poop sing


Kirsten Dunst, what happened?
While surfing through TMZ, I cam across this picture of Dunst. And, I didn't believe it was her, until I squinted. I kind of bashed her in Spiderman 2 for not looking as good, as she did in SM1. But, this photo just looks bad. I'm hoping that this was just a bad day for her. And, I'll let you in on a secret, I thought she was really cute in Bring It On.
I really feel bad for her.  

Did you know that both Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Union both starred in episodes of different Star Trek shows early in their careers?  Bring it on...

He goes by the handle Papercuts777 on YouTube. He's bat-shit crazy and entertaining as hell. His videos are outrageous and so is his food. I dare you to have more fun watching someone cook. I've made his stuff - it's awesome. The dude deserves a cooking show on HBO. Pay attention!

Silent Hill 3 “You’re not here”
The woman that sings this creepy song is Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. She’s actually a long-time videogame voice actress. She sings a lot of the erriy songs in the SH franchise.
The point of the video was to show off the voice/mouth matching software, which was just starting to get off the ground. (It was kind of used for MGS2 and extensively in MGS3)
-There is a shot of Heather, the main character, sitting in the wheelchair. The game has tons of shots of wheelchairs throughout the story, but there are no shots of Heather being in a wheelchair. Some believe this was deleted footage. It should be noted that the Wheelchair theme was also in SH1 too. And SH1 and SH3 are directly connected.
-The heather character looks into the camera a lot in the music video, which is creepy moments, because there are only a couple moments in the game when she does that.
-This video also shows off the weary designs of Heather. Note the discoloration of the skin around the eyes. It has always been hinted that all the heroes in the game are already dead and are going through judgment in purgatory. However, the game never fully comes out and says that.
-As I said before, this video was meant to show off the technology and enhanced models that were used in Silent Hill 2 to Silent Hill 3. They added more detail to them in Silent Hill 3. It is interesting to note that many of the locations from Silent Hill 2 are reused for SH3.
I always felt Heather was one of better written characters in horror genre.   



Dwayne McDuffie 1962-2011
Mr. McDuffie was a writer I looked up to because he was a black comic book and animation writer.  McDuffie was one of the people responsible for the minority-based comic book line called Milestone with a few other writers.  McDuffie was also very important to the DCAU with his strong involvement with Static Stock and Justice League Unlimited.  He was one of the people that were responsible for deep continuity storylines based on comic book stories. 
For me, I fondly remember working in retail and spending hours on my breaks and lunch breaks in book area reading Milestone Comics and DC Comics.  I still have my Superman/Milestone crossover comic book series and pull them out to read from time to time.  Plus, you can actually see some of his Milestone influences with the main DC universe now, because most of the Milestone characters are in the DC universe now. 
He also wrote for Marvel too. 
I think McDuffie was important to all minority writers out there, because he was responsible for making stronger black comic book characters.  And, before the 90s, there weren’t that many good superhero role models out there. 
He died on February 21, 2011 from complications from heart surgery.
