Why Kevin Smith Sucks

For quite a while now, I've been a fan of Kevin Smith's. I find him to be a terribly interesting guy. He's a prolific writer, great story teller and his podcast -- Smodcast has kept me company on many of my long drives. I liked most of his movies, very much so...and fan or not, nobody can deny the Clerks phenomenon. I genuinely like the guy, and that's why I'm just so ecchhh here with him and this story with Southwest Airlines.

To make it quick, Kevin Smith was pulled off a flight because someone, it's really not clear who, thought he was too fat to fly. Kevin got all jerked off about it, and has been twittering, blogging, podcasting, and he's basically out Paul Revere-ing that he wants Southwest to go down for this incredible and immense injustice. Oh, and by the way, he was offered an apology and a $100 voucher, but this wasn't good enough for him. He wants some one's head, or at least some one's job over it.

But it's all bullshit.

I listened to the two latest hours of the podcasts, that he completely devoted to the incident. Mr. Smith is claiming that he's not doing this for him anymore, he's doing it for all fat people, especially the "stout" woman, Natalie, who sat next to him on his next flight. She apparently was pulled out for the same reason, but returned to the flight. Crap. He twittered about it for hours before he caught the first sight of Natalie.

I dig, it was embarrassing. Extremely embarrassing. It's probably the worst nightmare of most anyone finishing off their 4-piece chicken & biscuit at your local KFC. And I also get it, it sucks being fat. But, I don't buy, for a second, that he's being all noble and standing up for the little guy...er uhm...fat guy. It's fake outrage, pure bullshit.

Case in point -- Sarah Palin's latest nonsensical battle, with Seth MacFarlane. One of the recent Family Guy episodes featured a character with down's syndrome. While out on a date the character refers to herself as the daughter of the former governor of Alaska. Oh my. Dig, out of all the people and groups and stereotypes that MacFarlane has gone after over the years, in all honesty, this seems like one of the tamest. But no, Sarah Palin didn't care to comment on any of Family Guy's other offenses, only when it hit a little close to home. 'Whoa, now you've gone too far buster'. Get real here.

In her book, Palin claims to have a bumper sticker on her car that says "My kid has more chromosomes than yours" -- which really has the same, or even a lesser level of political correctness than the Family Guy bit. Let's face it, former Governor Palin last story was a little bit embarrassing; she wanted the bounce-back to come with a bit of sympathy, to show her softer side. But, we all remember, she's self-proclaimed pit-bull with lipstick. And of course, it was just another reason to get a sound bite out there, and a reason to visit with Bill O'Riley. Maybe at the next TEA Party meetng, she'll have fuck Seth MacFarlane written on her hand, then cross out fuck and have fudge written over it.

Re-enter the Kevin Smith story -- It's fake outrage. Just Crap. He's not doing this for fat people everywhere. He's not the Rosa Parks of the airlines. I don't know what movie he may have coming out, but there's got to be a better way to promote it. And if I'm wrong about my whole take on this story, so be it. But as I see it, the other side of that coin is even worse -- that he's making this big of a stink over being inconvenienced for just a couple of hours, as he got to fly out on the next flight. If I was his high school football coach, I'd tap a fist on his chin and say, "Now buck up, champ. You're better than this...now go hit the treadmill"

Kevin Smith claims to have a platform, and that he does. But with this platform, with his multitude of twitter and blog followers, this is the big fight he wants to stand up for?!? Like I said, I understand it sucks to be fat...it sucks that down's syndrome is a reality in this world...but it also really sucks to be a dead Iranian protester, or a victim of the many mass genocides that happen around the world, or simply just to be a citizen of Haiti. Do you see some of the really fucked up shit that goes on in this world? And this is the big issue that Kevin Smith wants to stand up for? Bullshit.

Peace.

Malcolm X - 1925 - 1965

Today in 1965, Malcolm X was shot and killed while speaking in New York.
He was 39 years old at the time of his death....the same age I am now.
The clip I'm about to include is one that I always found very interesting. In it, Malcolm discusses the fact that the Nation Of Islam had been threatening to kill him, yet somehow, even in the face of what could be, and would be impending doom, he still finds a way to smile about the circumstances.

That's not something I think I could deal with so easily at 39.

Iyanna Washington Wants To Set You Straight!

Remember the video I posted yesterday with Epic Beard Man kicking the SHIT out of some loud talkin' jackass on a bus?
Well, the woman who filmed the whole thing, wants to set you straight about some of the things you've been saying about her because of "gossip", and by "gossip", she means the things you SEE and HEAR her doing on the video that SHE uploaded to YouTube.

Here she is now, so let's all just sit back and see how wrong we were about her....



Wow, I feel so ashamed now.
See, I was totally thinking that in the first video, when she yelled "Say it again, Pinky!" and "Beat his white ass!" at the 1:13 and 1:18 marks respectively, that she was a racist pig who was instigating a situation in which a 67 year old man was to be assaulted.
What an asshole I am!

And then again, I thought she was a thieving whore when she laughingly says "Go through that shit!" at the 2:28 mark, after SHE steals the Epic Beard Man's bag and brings it back to where she and "Bring da ambalamps" were sitting. But she apparently was just trying to recover his belongings for him for when the proper authorities took over.
Silly me!

You know, there's an old saying that I'm reminded of when I see people like this....

"If you were a little bit smarter, you'd be able to understand how stupid you are."

I think ole' Iyanna Washington needs to post that on her bathroom mirror so it's the first thing she sees every morning when she wakes up, because if she thinks her pathetic attempt at damage control is fooling ANYONE, she's a colossal moron.
Furthermore the whole "comin' from where I'm from...it's real...this is real stuff." crutch....yeah, that shit was played out last decade.
Continuing to excuse ridiculous thuggish behavior because of where you're "from", will only perpetuate the crazy bullshit...and YOU, Iyanna, are a part of the problem, not a victim of circumstances happening around you. If more people "where you're from" would discourage things like what happened on that bus, instead of egging it on as you did, Iyanna, maybe it wouldn't be the "real stuff" that goes on so much anymore.

But that concept is clearly too much for you to understand.
After all...at the 2:41 mark of the first video, you laughingly say "Hey, we can press charges, blood...I got it on video.", after you instigated an assault that's foundation was racially charged....captured "Blood" taking the first swing at the bearded man forcing him to defend himself after he already went to the front of the bus to avoid a physical confrontation....and then YOU STEALING his belongings.

See how it all played out to someone who has the ability to see things logically?
But you probably still don't get it.
Because you're stupid.

"He Leakin'!!!"

This is why you should act normally on the bus.
Well, this, and because it would be just cool for the people who have to ride the bus, that AREN'T complete fucking jackasses, to not have to deal with idiocy when they already know that people who are looking up at them from their cars are thinking that they're tools for having to ride the bus in the first place.

Did I ever tell you about the time I saved a bus driver's job at Disney World, because a fat woman was trying to stage an injury, so I gave an affidavit as to what I saw her doing and saying?
No?
Well I'm not going to now either.

Anyway, poor JaRule....first he gets punked by Fiddy.....now he gets handled by Uncle Jesse from the Dukes Of Hazzard.
Street Cred = 0.

NBC Hookin' A Brotha Up!!!

I love when White America does something for the "Black Folk".
It always turns out so well.

This picture was taken by Questlove, the drummer from The Roots, and was posted to his Twitter page, after he apparently saw it posted in NBC's Commissary.


No word yet on whether the "160z Fountain Soda" was only being offered in "Grape" and "Tahitian Treat" flavors by NBC, but I think it's a safe bet.

I'm not saying NBC is racist, I'm just saying that the show "30 Rock" clearly never was meant to be a comedy, as much as it was meant to be a dramatic re-enactment of day to day events of embarrassing levels of idiocy.

Now, if I could ask all my Black readers to leave, I need to have a word with my White people for a second.

Thanks.

Ok....White people....can you chill the FUCK OUT?!?!?
This level of stupidity is beyond staggering.
Are there people still out there that are SO cracker ass white, that they thought this would be a
"nice treat for the coloreds"?
That HAD to be the thought process behind this, right???

Look....here's an idea....just do NOTHING.
Just serve a regular menu, and go about your business. No one needs their lunch to reflect a month or a holiday, and they CERTAINLY don't need it to do so in some jacked up Plantation Era way.

It's like when you douchebags dye everything green on St. Patrick's Day....I'm Irish....it's doesn't make me feel more acknowledged.
Seriously...I mean it....you can stop.

Cuz FUCK the Shamrock Shake!!!!

Ok...you may now return to your regularly scheduled whiteness.

Shake Weight - Lose Weight...Learn To Earn Rent.

I love when there's an infomercial device that is so ridiculous, that it almost seems like a skit on Saturday Night Live.

Well, ladies....I give you "Shake Weight"!
You can lose those flabby upper arms, while simultaneously improving your technique of....um....manual release.
SO, you are now doubly more attractive to your man!!
See?
A winner is YOU!

As a side note, if any of the women I know would like to send me videos of themselves using the "Shake Weight".....topless.....it would be greatly appreciated.

Ian Stafford: Playboy

This is Ian Stafford.
He was the Mayor of Preesall in Lancashire, U.K.
He was just convicted and sentenced to prison for two years for breaking into women's homes, masturbating into their underwear, and then placing them back in their drawers.

Who'da thunk it from looking at him?
Can't a motherfucker have a hobby without everyone busting his balls??

In all seriousness, Ian just REALLY fucked up the whole "you can't judge a book by it's cover" bullshit, because YES, you can.

Ian looks JUST LIKE someone who would do something like that.
So for all you fellas who are the anamoly when it comes to stuff like this....who look like a car accident, but act like a decent human being....thank Ian for just setting you back a couple decades.
