myspace martyr.

The definition of the term martyr via wiki:  (Greek μάρτυς martys "witness") is most commonly used today to describe an individual who sacrifices their life (or personal freedom) in order to further a cause or belief for manyI know.

I know, I'm late with this...but Levi Johnston (Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol's baby daddy) had a myspace page before he was yoked up by the republican party and turned into a beacon of morality and Christendom. Oh...and tricked into a new tattoo.

It read as follows:

"I'm a f**kin' redneck who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes. But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some sh*t and just f**kin' chillin' I guess. Ya f*ck with me I'll kick ass.....I don't want kids."

No kids huh? Whoopsi.......

While the media is entertaining the public questioning  whether Palin can handle her family and being the VP at the same time (in today's time this is known as sexism) and a relevant rhetorical scenario has been brought to light- IF OBAMA HAD A 16 YR OLD KNOCKED UP BY  A THUG within the same equivalence of Levi's myspace page-WOULD HE (OBAMA) HAVE A CHANCE?- I personally feel bad for this Levi kid. He definitely got the short end of the stick. Because if you think he had a choice about whether he was going to get married and have a baby....I think you are sorely mistaken. He is in fact the Republican mascot....ST LEVI of Alaska. Someone should build him a shrine and get to worshipping.  

Gotcha B*TCH! 

mini movies that double as ads.

this ad for HSBC takes you on a serious trip. There are tree hugging hippies, a man dressed as a bear, lumber jacks, a baby (possibly mormon) and cops in action. Its pretty epic. And within the few seconds we are giving, I felt like I knew so much about the back story and the characters. I laughed, I cried and and I appreciated. And that's the power of advertising.

promises that matter.

"I just have one thing to say about promise rings. It's not bad to wear a promise ring. Because not everybody – guy or girl – wants to be a slut."

- Jordin Sparks (before presenting an award at the VMAs)

I had to look up the concept of a "promise ring", and I have to disagree with Christina Milian...oops, I mean Jordin Sparks...whoever you are. The rings are pretty lame. Just like abstinence itself. 

Lame.

place your bets.

The Stats:
Christ
Positives: Impressive stamina. Historically known for taking a beating, staying on his feet. Has history of miraculous resurrection.
Negatives: Invented Pacifism. Dangerous habit of turning the other cheek.

Charles Darwin
Positives: Invented Natural Selection. Understands what's at stake with "Survival of the Fittest".
Negatives: Theology student, nearly became an Anglican parson. Mixed feelings punching his Lord's Only Son and Savior in the face.

Hey....someone has got to win.

you know you're old when...

the things you know as a child reappear decades later as hip totally out of context fashion wear. It's like realizing that your favorite sitcom as a kid was just inducted into Nick at Nite's daily lineup (really Family Matters is not that old school). But I digress...this is about Disney.

hipster fashion guru the hundreds is teaming with Disney. Animalnewyork isn't into it (really against it, like how one would be against the Nazis), but I'm interested to see how it plays out. Here, we have Peter Pan's the Lost Boys all hip and funky. 

Yay or nay?

I have been seeing alot of this guy's work lately and I am always thrilled and inspired by it. Check out what he did for Louis Vuitton. I missed his exhibit at the Brooklyn museum....but damn, Kanye certainly took advantage of his talent...and pretty much turned his lack luster song into a cool video. 

stars and stripes. and guns.

Dear America,

ok, so the word on the street is that this photo is not real.

but for the sake of our country and its future....can we all pray (really, really hard) that it is real. Like....really, really hard.

Sincerely,

spots that make me nervous.

this is unique. except for the fact that it completely reminds me of the 1996 movie,  Lawnmower Man.

And that creeps me out. 

when was the last time you heard the name....?

the word on the street is that someone paid Jerry Sienfeld 10M to be in this spot. And that someone was Microsoft.


I don't even know what that spot was about. Jerry Sienfeld????Shoes????Bill Gates?????
What the......? 

There are suppose to be more spots coming. I hope in the future, they have...like a purpose and stuff. 

smart girl ads.

remember when i said that my girl Nasty Lui would never subject herself to getting paid to say sh*t like "It makes my taco pop"...well look, I was right. And unlike her bitter rival Shawn, she is actually promoting a brand that she could potentially use. And after I spent about 30 seconds on the website (the music will drive you absolutely crazy), I have have come to realization that I may need to call off my Olympic crush on her...at least for another 5 years. Especially since she is a "smart girl."

In other Olympic ad pimping news....Phelps likes to learn new languages. (yeah...ok). Even his mom got a deal and all she did was give birth to him. And my favorite, decathlon winner, Byran Clay achieved every person's ultimate goal. 

And yes...you are correct. I cannot let the Olympics go. Its too soon. There was just...just so much between us......

UPDATE: Dolphin Phelps is using those 8 golds for the mere purpose of A&T. The American Dream.  Douche bag!!!!

UPDATE 2: I take it back....he does learn languages...and its hysterical to watch.

some perspective.

this is for the "Proud Vagina Americans."

a rotten cotton production.

Wow...I just ran into this film, Black Devil Doll  doing my morning Internet surf (as necessary to a productive day, as my morning cup of Dunkins). The site I found it on, warned me that the trailer was not suitable to watch at work. Youtube made me verify my name. Therefor, I'm too much of a scaredy cat to look at it right now. As soon as I try to watch it, there is no doubt in my mind that the CEO will drop from the ceiling with a camcorder and my 2 week notice. 

the website totes that it is "the sleaziest Blaxploitation Horror film ever envisioned." Blaxploitation isn't even a word. So, I posted it for the more adventurous. In the mean time (cause I will be watching it as soon as I get home), here is the synopsis.

"A young, moist, buxom teen vixen finds herself hurled into an odyssey of forbidden sex and unspeakable violence after an innocent evening dabbling in the occult. What started as a simple child's game has now become a fight for her life! What is this evil that she has summoned from beyond? And why does it have a fro? What kind of horrific acts will she be subjected to? And what price will her super-hot, half-nude friends have to pay? But more importantly, how much Caucasian blood will have to be shed to stop....the BLACK DEVIL DOLL?!!"

one word... buxom.....

UPDATE: I watched it. And Im not a better person for it.
