Weaves sold Separately.

Toy giant Mattel, recently introduced the So In Style Barbie doll - the new black Barbie. Apparently these black barbies have wider noses, and fuller lips, and come in different skin tones. Now, I'm not a girl, but I can supply you with a story regarding black barbies. I was doing some Christmas shopping back in my grade school days. Christmas shopping back then consisted of our parents giving us money and dropping a group of us off at the local mall for like 4 hours. So I walk into K-B Toys, and I decide to buy my step sister a Barbie. It was a vast wall of Barbies, with occupations ranging from princesses to teachers to lawyers etc. All these inspirational outfits to spur the imaginations of young women across the nation. So I looking and I'm looking and I see a black barbie....and she's dressed in a McDonalds outfit. The only black Barbie in the store, was a McDonalds worker.

BOO-YAKA-SHA!!!! You cannot beat that.

Movie Time: Knowing is Half the Battle.

A little GI Joe love before the movies drops this Friday. I saw Transformers 2 and Harry Potter (ummmm, order of the Phoenix, Azkaban, Monkeys) and sofar nothing has beat Star Trek. Transformers was very entertaining. When you mix in shots of Megan Foxx running in slow motion in between explosions and gunfights and then add in  2 slightly stereotype robots that make you say "I'm slightly offended" in your head and then briefly make the faint innuendo of robot testicles...all in 2hrs and a half, you get a fairly decent flick that was better than the first. 

About Harry Potter. Well...the actors are like 85 years old now and still in that f*cking school saving the world. Don't get me wrong. I liked it. The actors are learning how to act now, and aren't just kids who read lines. The special effect were on par. But I just cannot wrap my head around the lack of Magic police. I mean....if there is this whole magical society...school, careers, industries....where the hell are the police? And why does this one bad guy keep getting away with stuff with no help from the police. Anyway...

On a different note. Disney has got a new project in the works. I never quiet understood the love for this story. Girl with a weave lives in a tower. Dude climbs weave. And that's it. But hey...I'll see it. 

Speaking of weaves, it seems as if Chris Rock was just sitting around one day, watching School Daze, and got an idea. And of course...HBO would support him. Check out the promo for Good Hair. 

As Craig so eloquently put it... "This film is rated: FDLS for fried, died and laid to the side (White friends ask Bernadette in accounts receivable what that means... use your friendly voice)."

LMAO. It's funny because there is always one black lady in accounting. But really...who knew that India's main export was human hair. That's really gross. 

Ok, I'm done.

Let's Celebrate.

While thousands of people are loosing their jobs, their dignity and their dreams due to the fat cat antics of a few greedy Wall Street punks and bankers, you must excuse me if I have not paid enough (or any)homage to Black History month. Especially when I am one of those thousands of sacrificial lambs. But it's important that you know that this is not the case everywhere else in the country: let's celebrate collard greens, pork hocks, and bologna.

Sad.

Kanye is tied with Crocs.

I missed the deadline today at 5pm. I'm also more of a Daily Show fan...but still...help him out. Some one has to take Kanye down at the knees.


Recent Kanye Quotes (because if I dedicated an entire post to everything ridic that Kanye says, I'd have to rename this blog):

-"Who is Stephen Colbert?" (in response to the challenge).

-“Nobody really wants to recognize that Beyonce is a f*cking living legend in that she is just as great, if not greater, than the artists that we had in the past…that she’s probably greater than Tina Turner.” Bosisp

-“When I said the statement, ‘I want to be Elvis,’ I really should have thought that out more because that statement was actually really incorrect...actually, the true statement was ‘I want to be better than Elvis.’ “ - Bossip

-“What I want is for people to realize at this point is, I don’t give a f*uck. That’s why I made this album. I’m using auto-tune because I don’t give a f*ck. I like the way it sounds.”

Arrogance will get you caught up. And so will running your mouth. Karma is a bitch.

UPDATE: Colbert won. He is at the top of the itunes chart. 

Blaxploitation.

I haven't done a true Throwback Thursday in awhile. Today I bring back to light one of my favorite movies back in the early 90's . I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. Directed by and starring Keenen Ivory Wayans, it was a parody of blaxploitation films (took that straight from wiki).  

Anyway, as a kid...I remember it being mildly entertaining. But it was not until my sick day earlier this week, that I realized that I actually had no idea what was going on. Now as a "grown up," I have a new appreciation for the movie.

"Capitalism Swine and bean soda..."

"Can I just get one rib."- this was back when Chris Rock was still funny. Waaaayyy back.  


Fly Guy- "My Bitch betta have my money."


Fish Tank Platform shoes.

If you haven't seen it, do yourself a life favor and go buy it. It's a classic.And it's funny as all hell.  And if you don't find it funny...you are a socialist. Fact.

Enjoy.
