"i will f*cking fight you, dude."

or

Me: "So that's it, my idea."
co-worker: "I dont know if this logo line lock up is working for me."
Me: "Well...keep in mind that it's just a template."
co-worker: "But the lock up...and I'm not sure about that color..."

NKOTB ft NeYo. Single.

this is embarassing for all parties involved.

im starting to get into street art. but that has nothing to do with the KKK. i swear.




british street artist Bansky takes a stroll through the south and...well, he expresses himself. me thinks the south will be in uproar.

obviously the hurricane hates republicans.


“I was just thinking, this Gustav is proof that there is a God in heaven...to have it planned at the same time – that it would actually be on its way to New Orleans for day one of the Republican Convention, up in the Twin Cities – at the top of the Mississippi River.”
- Michael Moore

always a pillar of class and inner reflection. it takes a really twisted individual to think like this and then say it outloud.

morning whoopsi.



that would explain alot.
verbal accident, missprint or purposeful republican slander? You decide.

i see what you're up to john. and i respect your swagger.



"Damn it...coulda had lips."

palin for vice president.

Mccain may not be interesting enough to create a label for. But Sarah Palin and her family sure are. 

Let it begin. 

ads for cannibals.



copyranter has shed some light on a recent trend of turning human body parts into edibles in the ad world. Some may call this clever, while others deem it a "first idea." There are also others that say the brilliance is in the execution. Like the Subway bread abs print...bread that wont make you fat = abs that is...OMG, really bread. 

I, on the other hand find these types of ads to be a crime against humanity. In all honesty, they promote cannibalism. Its very similar to the plight of horror movies that freely offer up extreme and graphic ideas for torture, murder and or blowing some sh*t up for entertainment sake, but meanwhile never stop to think about that one crazy person in the audience who might look at the movie and feel....inspired to try the same thing tomorrow. 

Ad makers of the world...lets stop and take some responsibility. Be patient with your concepts. Caress them and make them blossom into fully rooted ideas. Don't sell your cannibal thoughts to your CD. Cause they will take them and run with them in hopes of a shiny reward. Cannibalism is NOT a joke people. 

 And to the Art Directors of the world...stop being such extreme fat asses. Gosh.

your lovely girly lumps.

this video. real or fake? anybody....please. 
Because if its real, I will have to schedule time this week to write a perturbed letter. If not...hysterical. 5 years ago when I was a camp counselor and I heard of this "kids singing hit songs" idea...I knew that it would one day lead to this (:57).
Just wrong on so many level.

Bomb the Bass. Butterfingers.

I am forever on the look out for interesting music videos. 
There is only so far ass & titties can take a music artist these days (unless they are from the south, but even lil wayne is stepping up his game, somewhat). So I look to see the way they allow their music to be portrayed on the tube. Musicians are a brand. Other than their music itself and the way they style themselves...their music videos are the way they advertise themselves to the public, no? Does this make sense? Or am I getting a little trippy? I did just eat some holy chocolate brought from Israel with poprocks in it. And Im pretty sure I had a religious experience about 20 minutes ago. So...I may be a bit loopy.
Anyway....this music video is different.

"Turn your Cracker Ass into a Real O.G."

designer tim allen from ny put together a nice conjunction of oldschool motif made for today's entertainment. Found inside "The Artists Guide to Dressing Fancy", there is a nice section that allows you to look like your from Compton in the 90's. Think Tupac in Poetic Justice. Ummmm, just the necessities to living. 



Buy it, adhere to it, amd we can be friends. I swear.

thank god for wikipedia.


so I had no time to blog over the "long" weekend. I had to go back to Chicago to move the rest of my "belongings" back to NY. No worries, cause I tried to schedule posts throughout the weekend. Then I came back to realize that I would never, under normal circumstances post/care about those things...so I removed them as editor and chief of this blog. 

So that's that. How was your labor day? I slept mine away. But...even in my dreams I couldn't shake the fact that I had no idea who Mccain's VP running mate was. Though I'm no politics head, and this is no forum for such things...but I figured that I should do a little research and be in the know so that I can be on America's not naughty list. And then I typed Sarah Palin into wiki. And thus I was informed.  

- She is the governor of Alaska. And that's good to know...here I thought she came out of the back woods somewhere....(insert crickets here).

- From the womb...she has been a life long member of the NRA...(crickets, again).

- When asked in March about the position of VP she was quoted as saying, "But as for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day? I’m used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we’re trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the U.S., before I can even start addressing that question."
And this is promising.

-On political beliefs....she does not think global warning is human caused, she is against the gays getting married, she is pro life (even if she has to pretend that her grandchild is her own)- i know that's fake, but what if it was real- awesomeness, and she's a catholic. 

-Her name fits nicely in the Mccain logo type set.

-Most importantly...she ran for Ms. Alaska in 1984. In the talent portion of the competition...she played the flute. Which obviously was her down fall, as she came in 2nd. 

That's all I need to know about her.

My opinion...this is a sad attempt for Mccain to try to make the American public think that he is hip and into the times. You know...colored folks and women. It's the future, man. 
Just my opinion.

Retro Ads: mr mac, the psa.



there were no subtleties back in the day. Mr Mac was a bad guy...and ad people made this psa to let you know that. Now, let's all feel bad for the little well spoken kid.

"here's the part that's hard to talk about... Mr mac touched my penis"
