newscronkite_with_capsules

7:31 am this morning NASA’s LCROSS bomb struck the moon in an attempt to uncover ice under its surface. matt lauer (see below) was clearly unimpressed by the lack of “hollywood” awe which the event produced. fuck you matt lauer.. in other news, president b-rock was chosen to recieve the nobel peace prize, of which he stated he’s not worthy to recieve but will anyway. HMMM?! right now somewhere in austin, texas alex jones is totally BAWWWWING the fuck out! we love you, alex! call us!

classic. this CNN bird looks at BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY like he’s straight high when he says the bombing wasn’t alot of tax payer $$$. IT’S A TRAP!

Commentary: “Addiction to Oil”

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

driller

i hear the phrase “addiction to oil” more or less constantly. whether its on broadcast news, or in newspapers, or from this dickbag and all the time i think, wait, what? “addiction to oil”? what the fuck does that even mean? really. what does “addiction to oil” mean? i mean do i just NEED to INJECT some of that light sweet crude into my wanting forearm vein? i mean do i need that? do i just need a shot of that oil shit to my system? do i need a hit? it’s like seriously if i don’t get a hit of this oil i’m gonna get some SERIOUS oil withdrawal fits. i got the need for speed, crackers. and the speed i need is that texas tea, that black gold, baby. inject that fucker.

ok anyway, now that i’ve got my hit, i pause to reflect on what “addiction to oil” means? i mean where does such a stupid notion even come from? ok, right now, how does a good slice of the american population get around? right, driving gas-powered cars. and in many cases why is that? oh yeah! cause that’s really the only efficient way many workers can get to their jobs and i don’t know earn incomes so they can do basic shit like eat and shelter themselves! ok, great. but why the oil? well that’s what goes in their cars. and? well can many workers afford alternatives? …you know electric cars, hybrids, mopeds, space cars? well, not really. ok, fucker, what about public transporation, i mean that’s more energy efficient? oh yeah! but in most cases (outside of new york and chicago) is public transportation really efficient enough?

so what’s really going on here? my guess is this is just another exercise in bringing down a bummer on the working class. you know, further prod the public with fear…..a scared consumer = $$$$$. many working consumers can barely afford their mobility in the first place! seriously, show the public consumption-viable alternatives to what their current transport lot is! or better yet lets work for a less fearful, more egalitarian society. right, but really the degradation of people with notions of “addiction” and “fear” is just some serious jive when realistically much of those consumption choices are outside the stead of most. right, and fuck the oil industry.

Exhibition Match: Chelsea FC vs. Inter Milan

chalcea-vs-inter-milan

Ricky Martin - “The Cup of Life”

World Cup 2010, hell yes! Caught the Inter Milan vs. Chelsea FC exhibition game yesterday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Chelsea FC owned it from the get-go, and took Inter Milan 2-0. A solid footie match none the less, you know - plenty of exaggerated injuries, not a lot of shooting and an abundance of the mexican wave. Not to forget Andy, the half-time entertainment, a full-on 9 piece band “performing” an uplifting latin number that actually had a musical fade-out ending. there’s no way i was the only one who caught that.

80,000+ drunken hooligans were in attendance and they stopped selling alchohol after half-time. yep. so, many left early to get a head start on their exit. the rose bowl’s parking situation is that you pay $20 to park on an unlit golf course behind the stadium. with zero direction and about 3 open gates on the entire golf course, many were jumping over or burrowing under fences, and basically driving through sand traps like they were pros. Ca border patrol, where you at? 6 am tee time dude was definitely pissed.

Chelsea scored their game clinching second goal on this penalty kick (below). ehha’ inter milan you need a spaghetti?!

U2 - “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For (Rattle and Hum)”

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

rattle-and-hum

the way i look at it, all artists have a specific time in their career where they’re at their artistic peak. riding high off the massive success of The Joshua Tree, Rattle and Rum’s film exudes the confidence that only a band who thinks, believes and acts like the best can make. a recommended watch for those haven’t seen it yet. see why below.

p.s. - it being the 80’s at the time, the female lead in Harlem’s New Voices of Freedom gospel choir totally schools bono. she should have been handed a record deal on a silver platter.

COMMENTARY: Independence Day (1996)

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

alien

so i was watching the film “independence day” the other day, i mean why not right? its fourth of july weekend! that’s what you do, right? and really everytime i watch the film i think (other than, man, why wasn’t harvey fierstein’s character more developed, amirite?) holy shit why didn’t the aliens invade packing macs? RIGHT???? i mean as was called out in the movie, the aliens knew when to attack us, how to attack us, all that bullshit, supposedly studied the human race for decades and then they neglect the whole mac/pc virus thing????
right… anyway, can you say bitchin’ sequel? the aliens return + macs……i see the screenplay (this is just an idea) playing out in three basic phases, 1) aliens blow shit up….this is good for at least 45 minutes of film time, 2) goldblum’s fuckin’ puzzled…..this should go on for about 45 minutes too….goldblum puzzled = $$$$$$, trust us! 3) we make millions. you know vivica fox’s plastic surgery fund is runnin’ a bit thin, she’d be down for sure and we could prob get bill pullman to work for weed. so roland emmerich, ball is in your court, dude, call us!
