Burger Bed

I really, really want one of these.

Any Other Psychos Out There Looking for an Excuse to Go Crazy?

I’m sorry but the attempts to frame this horrific family murder/suicide as an economic issue is simply ridiculous. It takes much more than tough external forces to cause people to commit such acts of atrocity – it takes a massively twisted fucking psyche: It was described as one of the most grisly scenes Los Angeles [...]

More Bad Music Criticism

A friend showed me this kinda-funny Slate article about Billy Joel called The Worst Pop Singer Ever. It’s cheeky, cute. Here’s a bit: I’m reluctant to pick on Billy Joel. He’s been subject to withering contempt from hipster types for so long that it no longer seems worth the time. Still, the mystery persists: How [...]

No Coffee!!

This is how I felt this morning when I woke up to find my apartment void of my favorite caffeine-laden hot liquid.

Mafoo’s Mid-Morning Creep-Out

Make sure you watch it through to the end to catch the über-creepy picture. This is straight-up cult-speak.

Warren sums up my fear [...]

Badlands

Considering that I had read much about the film, and its director, I can’t say that I was really shocked by the film, but it kept me up all night thinking about it. Here’s a relatively spoiler-free clip: I thought it [...]

The Weak or the Strong, Who’s Got it Goin’ On?

In honor of the new Biggie movie coming out tomorrow – and presented in stark contrast to what looks to be a heart-warmingly revisionist biopic of one of my favorite rappers – I thought it would be nice post one of my favorite Biggie flows of all time. Dead Wrong. This tune was Biggie’s foray [...]

Obama Favored Gay Marriage in 1996

“I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.”- Barack Obama in 1996 He needs to be confronted on this at his next press conference, straight up. I’ve always suspected that his civil-unions stance was purely political and this seems to prove it. What up Barry?
