I saw a post over at Anonymous Idiot yesterday about The Wire and an infamous scene where the only dialog was with the word fuck (or slight variation, as in motherfucker or fuck me). I had to post the video of the scene, check it out below. The setup is a couple of salty cops recreating a crime scene in a vacant apartment some period of time after the crime (weeks, months?). The challenge, no dialog but the big F…. The Wire passed with flying colors, it kinda sounds like me putting together a bookshelf or any kids shit in my house.
I have joined the beta of a new site called Anonymous Idiot (AI, not to be confused with Allen Iverson). This is a place where men are men, women are men, and dogs are scared shitless…. wait, that’s my last church, never mind. Anyway, AI has two main objectives: 1) Provide a place where you can post content that doesn’t fit in with your site’s content because it is too controversial (or in my case not controversial enough), and 2) generate backlinks to your site with the goal of generating additional traffic for you. If this is something that might be of interest to you, check it out, at least the content should be interesting enough for a laugh with a bunch of idiots writing them.
So now I’m a certified moron idiot… at least I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.
The title of this post is in regards to the “I’m feeling lucky” button (IFL) on Google, not to the fact that I think there is a high probability that I will get laid tonight… but shit, ya never know. Anyway, I haven’t used that particular button in a while, mostly because it has little value, especially after stumble came out, and I like to see my options before jumping in. Lately, the searches I toss into IFL end up on urban dictionary (like this) or wikipedia… actually, that probably says a lot about me.
However, there were a couple of searches that ended up “interesting” like:
Say it isn’t so, our bullshit government has engaged in propaganda activity directly on US soil? The New York Times had a very interesting article yesterday titled: “Behind TV Analysts, Pentagon’s Hidden Hand“. No, the hidden hand wasn’t up Bush’s mostly retarded ass as I had originally guessed, it is actually in your pocket and mine, as well as up the skirts of school girls (the Pentagon is a dirty dirty place full of creepy pederasts). The article is a great read and goes into detail how the Bush Administration uses former military officials, who are now mostly tied up with the private sector defense industry, as embedded puppets at the major TV news outlets. Big surprise, FoxNews had the highest number of these ass-clowns followed by NBC, CNN, CBS and ABC. One warning, the article is fucking 11 pages long, most of us don’t have the attention span or time to dedicate to an article that long, but it was worth the extra minutes for me.
We all know suspect that the information flowing from the Bush Administration is bullshit, but now there is solid evidence of an information tampering program initiated by the assholes in charge of the country. They brought these “independent” analysts in and held private briefings with them with the exact message points the administration wanted to get out and then deployed them to the networks. And this shit works.
Hidden behind that appearance of objectivity, though, is a Pentagon information apparatus that has used those analysts in a campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration’s wartime performance, an examination by The New York Times has found.
The effort, which began with the buildup to the Iraq war and continues to this day, has sought to exploit ideological and military allegiances, and also a powerful financial dynamic: Most of the analysts have ties to military contractors vested in the very war policies they are asked to assess on air.
I really fucking hate this administration. And, I’m not sure if our government is realistically fixable.
It’s Friday… Photo caption contest. Try to use the photocrank tool on the picture as well as the comments, the photocrank tool is really working out well. To use it just click on the photocrank widget on the lower right side of the picture, it will bring up a menu system and then you can crank away (on the picture that is… stop turning tricks for drugs…). Enjoy!
Or at least heading in that direction. I’m referring of course to our civilization. The answer to the question of “What caused the fall of Rome” has no real answer, however it had some dominant factors like population in decline, incompetent and corrupt political system, and economic crisis… we are fitting the bill fairly nicely. For me it is those factors plus the unbelievable shit that we as a population get into. For example, check out this disturbing motherfucking shit out:
As a parent who is subjected to a barrage of children’s movies, shows, songs, stories, books, nursery rhymes etc… I have come to question the validity of most of the content/material of these items, and wonder what the fuck are we trying to convey to our progeny with some of it. For example, in the infamous Frosty the Snowman TV movie, at the end when Santa and Frosty drop off the girl at home, they left her stranded on the snow covered roof of her house. Jebus Christ Santa, that is pretty fucked up, even for an old peeping-tom pervert such as yourself. We all know why you have a round belly and a red nose, you’re a wasted alcoholic and you and Frosty had to break out fast to finish your bottle of Jameson’s.
More examples include the ubiquitous nursery rhymes. Like:
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
and Jill came tumbling after
What really happened is Jack and Jill went up a hill to smoke crack and have unprotected sex (i.e., “get wet“). Jackie-boy was too fucked up to perform so Jill pimp-slapped him upside the head with the crack-pipe. Thus, Jack fell down up busted up his melon. Jill fell down too, because she was too wasted to walk down the hill and was rushing to go out and score some more crack and buy a new glass dick. She was probably going to have to turn a trick or two first, but I’m just speculating here.
Then there is this one:
This old man, he played one;
He played knick-knack ‘on my thumb’
With a knick-knack, paddy whack,
Give a dog a bone;
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played two;
He played knick-knack on my shoe.
With a knick-knack, paddy whack,
Give a dog a bone;
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played three;
He played knick-knack ‘on my knee’
With a knick-knack, paddy whack,
Give a dog a bone;
This old man came rolling home.
This shit goes on for like fifteen versus. I’m pretty disturbed by this rhyme on a number of levels. What’s up with the dirty old man? And WTF is knick-knack? If you replace “played knick-knack” with “hit me” or “spit on” or “jerked-off” this makes for an anonymous call to the feds or dateline. Also, this old pederast is tripping (i.e., rolling ) on E and fucking the dog? How is this good wholesome entertainment for the children?
I can go on for days about this shit… I will post some more after I scrub myself with bleach, these nursery rhymes are just dirty dirty dirty.
Waaaaay back in 1999 or 2000, which is an eternity in interwebz years, I came across this hilarious online series that took old kung-fu movies and re-dubbed them with hip-hop theme music and rap star voice-overs. The result, enough laughs to fill your pants full of last nights moo-goo-gai-pan. I’ve been loosely looking for it lately and finally found it using the very intuitive google search “old kung-fu movies dubbed over with rap star voice overs and hip hop” buried at the bottom of the third page. The title of the series, Kung Faux. They made it into a TV series at one point in 2003, but I’ve only ever seen it online on heavy.com or dubtitled.com. Somebody uploaded the first episode “The ill-master” to youtube in three parts, I’ve embedded the first part below, links to the other two parts of the episode are listed below the embedded player. Enjoy bitches.
So I was in Best Buy the other day salivating over a bunch of shit that I wanted to buy when I noticed an entire DVD section dedicated to HBO shows and movies. When I was browsing the titles, I came across the first four seasons of The Wire. I remembered reading somewhere that the show wasn’t just good, it was fucking good, and I decided to check it out. So I bought season 1, jerked-off on the clerk, and walked to car… ok I didn’t jerk-off on the clerk, that would be ridiculous, I just shat on her stomach. On my way home from Best Buy, I remembered where I read about the show, it was on Sadcox’s site. I think the word for his view on the show is evangelical. Check out his take on the show in the previous link, he has a much purtier mouth than I do… I just swear a lot. Anyway, I just finished up season 1 last night and bought season 2 during my lunch hour today, it has been exactly 6 days since I picked up the first season. Hello, my name is billymac, and I’m addicted to The Wire. Thanks Sadcox.
The wife and I saw the film Stop-Loss this past weekend. I had never heard of the term stop-loss before I saw the movie, it is basically the ability of the US Army to involuntarily extend a soldier’s enlistment contract past the initial end of service date in the time of war. That is where the rub is, we haven’t declared war on Iraq, we have a nebulous war on terror (it might as well be a war on cockroaches or martians). Overall it was a decent movie, it won’t win any awards, but it definitely gets the message across that our soldiers are getting fucked in the ass on this one. When I say fucked in the ass, that isn’t just with the stop-loss, it goes for the whole nasty mess the assholes in charge of our country have gotten them into. There is a decent comment thread about stop-loss on the movies blog site here, comments are mostly from military men and women. I will leave you with a poignant comment from a soldier that is currently being stop-lossed:
I am grateful a film is out about the Stop-Loss issue. Many of us have been “Stop-Lossed†and sent back to Iraq after our contracts with the Army have been fulfilled. Some of us never came home. After having served my country for 11 years, it is shameful that we, as soldiers, are subject to imprisonment if we fail to uphold our end of our contracts with the US Government, yet it is perfectly legal for the US Government to not uphold its end of the bargain. We all accept and do what is required of us while serving our country. But when our “time is up†and “duty fulfilled†they force us back and demand more. Personally, I believe that President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and former Secretary of Defense Rumsfield, should be held personally accountable and legally charged for the death of every soldier that was deployed under Stop-Loss. We did our duty, now let us go.
