WHY IS THIS IDIOT DRIVING SO SLOW??

Have you ever been driving behind someone and thought "why is this idiot driving so slow?" Then a lane opens up so you are able to pass them and you discover that they are conviently chatting it up on their cell phone! If you are like me you probably would be pissed about this, well Ford is about to give us another reason to be mad at stupid drivers. The Ford Motor company will soon offer an in-dash computer with high-speed internet and a battery-powered ink-jet printer on its F150

pick-up trucks and commerical vans. The in-dash computer is a 6.5 in touch-screen powered by Microsoft Windows CE and Windows Autos. It connects to the internet through Sprint's cellular Broadband and is Bluetooth enabled. The Working Solutions Package will be available in the 2009 model trucks and vans this summer. I know this is meant for business use and at first glance it seems like a really good idea but lets think about this for a second... How many fools can we expect to purchase these vehicles for their own personal use and ride around causing accidents because their busy trying to friend request someone on Myspace?? Think this one over Ford...Seriously

"D" DOESN'T STAND FOR DESTINY'S CHILD ANYMORE

Well I'm not one to start rumors so I will say I'm just making an observation... But is it me or does Kelly look a little larger in the chest area lately?? I mean she looks great in her bikini but when did she become so developed??

SOJOURNER TRUTH MUST BE TURNING IN HER GRAVE

Now sometimes we take things too far! This is the "Black History Issue" of Smooth magazine. Now I just want to know, how does oiled up broads in g-strings relate to the historic struggle that blacks went through in this country?? I mean if you are selling sex that's fine, do what you do but please DON'T try to intertwine the two.. MY PEOPLE, MY PEOPLE..

Bow Wow and Omarion are in it too *blank stare*

YES WE CAN!...HOPEFULLY

WHAT UP GANGSTA??

Robert DeNiro and 50 Cent did a double cover issue for Vibe's March issue. At first glance I thought wow this is a pretty odd couple but the more I thought about it, They have more in common than you may think. Both of these men have made a living portraying gangsters. DeNiro played a big part of rap culture ever since his portrayal of Vito in The Godfather trilogy. This summer DeNiro, 50 and Al Pacino will all star in Righteous Kill, a $60 million film, which is in short, about gangster cops. This should be interesting. I guess. I think the whole ganster movie this is getting kind of lame. I mean don't get me wrong, I love my fair share of shoot em up movies but how many times can they recreate the same idea over and over. But since America loves violence, I predict this film will be a blockbuster.

LIFE IS ART

These propaganda posters were created by contemporary artist/graphic designer Shepard Fairy. This is a really cool youth culture endorsement for Obama's campaign. I like.

BYE BYE KWAME!!

Ok I'm a not a big sports fan, I'm not even a big basketball fan but I loooove The Lakers! And today my team finally got rid of this worthless piece of a player named Kwame Brown. If you think that's harsh of me to say then let me give you some stats. Kwame Brown is earning $9.1 million dollars for the rest of this season and he averages a measly 5.7 a game. FIVE POINTS A GAME! I will even give him the benefit and round up to 6... SIX POINTS A GAME, for $9 mil! Get the f*ck outta here!! This fool even got booood at a home game in the Staples Center. Hey what can I say LA is a tough crowd. Anyways The Lakers finally traded his sorry a$$ for 7 footer Paul Gasol who averages 18.8 points and 8.6 rebounds. So finally the Lakers fans can breathe a little easier. At least for the moment. I'm sure they will be throwing plenty of "Good Riddens Kwame" parties this weekend! ENJOY!

Welcome Mr. Gasol!!

THE SIGN SAYS DON'T FEED THE FAT PEOPLE!

Three lawmakers want to make it illegal for restaurants in Mississippi to serve obese customers.

House Bill No. 282 which will be introduced in this month states:

"Any food establishment to which this section applies shall not be allowed to serve food to any person who is obese, based on criteria prescribed by the State Department of Health after consultation with the Mississippi Council on Obesity Prevention and Management established under Section 41-101-1 or its successor. The State Department of Health shall prepare written materials that describe and explain the criteria for determining whether a person is obese, and shall provide those materials to all food establishments to which this section applies. A food establishment shall be entitled to rely on the criteria for obesity in those written materials when determining whether or not it is allowed to serve food to any person."

The proposal is going to allow health inspectors to take away permits from restaurants who repeatedly serve obese customers. The bill is not expected to gain much support. Now what kind of nonsense is this?? I guess they're trying to put a limit on food like alcohol.

Can you imagine that: "I'm sorry sir/mam I cannot serve you another cheeseburger, you are obese according to the written law and you have reached the state limit"

Prediction if this becomes a law by some miraculous event, I'm guessing the crime rate will shoot up in Mississippi!!

BURY ME A G??

DO
Can you guess who this plump sculpture above is supposed to be? It's Oprah Winfrey! This was created by Daniel Edwards, who has a little too much time on his hands and an obvious obsession with Oprah. Hey that's kinda hard to say... obvious obsession with Oprah.. sorry I get amused easily. Anyways the "Oprah Sarcophagus" is supposedly Edward's way of celebrating a living goddess. Ooook! My first thought is I know Oprah did not pose for this so Edward's using his demented imagination to guess what she looks like naked! And clearly he thinks her breast droop down at her sides. Hmmm maybe they will bury her in it 

BEFORE THEY WERE STARS...EVE IS THAT YOU??

Well it has been said that Eve was a "dancer" before she was famous but geeez I guess she just was doing her job. Bet she never thought these pics would leak out. This is exactly why I tell people to be careful what you do because you never know who you will become...

ANOTHER EDITION OF WHAT IDIOTS LOOK LIKE..

If you have ever wondered what idiots look like, well you are in luck. No one knows who these dudes are but that is not the point. I already said that breakfast should never be worn after I seen Pharrell's waffle shoes by Ice Cream shown here
But now we have this...somebody should just throw a gallon of milk on him. put him out of his misery!

RONMEY SAYS TO MCCAIN: IS THAT YOU MR. NIXON?

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney accused rival John McCain of adopting to Nixon- like tendencies. His charges stem from McCain's claims that Romney has a timetable set up for the withdrawal of troops in Iraq. In other words he is accusing Ronmey of siding with the democrats ideas and views of the war. McCain made this charge during the Florida primary before Romney could rebut and went on to win the state. Romney claimed that this kind of campaigning "was reminiscent of the Nixon era"..Oooh. Well of course when infamous names such as Nixon get thrown into the mix people start talking.... Former House speaker Dennis Hastert of Illinois chimed in reminding folks of the Keating Five savings-and-loan scandal that McCain and four other senators were involved in. Tsk Tsk.

Romney said that his references to Nixon were not attacks on McCain's integrity, "I think he's a man of character" But he added, "I think he took a sharp detour off the Straight-Talk Express" (which is the name of McCain's tour bus)...Ha! Republicans are so corny.

 

YES YES YA'LL

This is for all the hip hop aficionados out there. Jewelry by Darkcloud Silver for Oye Modern has created a collection of urban music symbols including turntables, a mic and even a spray can in sterling silver. These pieces are all handmade in Sydney, Australia by Nathan Thomas who crafted them out of his passion for the hip hop culture. The pieces go for about $300 each. But I guarantee that this is something no one else will be wearing. Very different

I'LL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS LADIES..

Now I know this has got to be some sort of publicity stunt because I know these girls cannot be this stupid. The ladies of Danity Kane recently spoke to Hot 97's Miss Jones about Keyshia Cole's singing ability or lack thereof. Bringing up some video of Keyshia singing horribly on YouTube and all. They also talked about how Keyshia had been very rude to them on several occasions, five to be exact!! They claimed that during a taping of TRL she slammed the dressing room door in their faces when they were just trying to come compliment her.. So they decided to fire back! Oh really...

Well I will just say this, I hope Diddy has hired extra security for these girls because I'm sure that Keyshia and her ride or die fam bam are ready locked and loaded. They are very familiar with the penal system as we all were made aware by watching BOTH seasons Keyshia's show. I'm sure they won't mind doing a lil time for bodying one of these little songbirds...God be with u ladies! 

THE 8TH WONDER OF THE WORLD...

The story of the Amber Room, dubbed the "8th Wonder of the World", has been a real life unsolved mystery filled with thievery and treasure hunting. The fairy tale room was crafted almost entirely of 6 tons of glowing translucent amber. It was a gift from the Prussian King Frederic the First to Russian Czar Peter the Great in 1716. But during World War II Hitler instructed Nazis to loot the treasured room and bring it back to Germany where it belonged. As the tide of the war changed and Germans worried about the safety of the room and supposedly packed it up and hid it. But no one really knows what actually happened to it. Some say it was lost during the bombing other say it was hidden. It has been a mystery that has plagued Russians for years. Treasure hunters have pursued countless theories about the whereabouts of the room but it has NEVER BEEN FOUND. In 1999 the reconstruction of this room began in Russian and after about 4 years and $150 million dollars a replica room was finally constructed with a few original pieces and opened in 2003. After 300 years the mystery of the original Amber Room still lives on.. 

I thought this was pretty cool, its like a real life National Treasure movie..take it for what u will

GET READY....

Kanye announced yesterday on his blog that the "GLOW IN THE DARK TOUR" is officially on. Acts lined up include Lupe Fiasco, N*E*R*D and Rihanna. Should be exciting! No dates have been released yet. Stay Tuned!

FUNNY STUFF

I got this in an email today.. Thought it was pretty funny. Funny because its true!

UP YOU MIGHTY PEOPLE!! UP!!!

Ok i have to take a break from the gossip, fashion, tech etc. that I usually write about to Blog about something that is very important to me. This upcoming election has brought out everyone's true colors no pun intended. This is our opportunity as black people to rise! This is our chance. So rise! I'm so tired of reading about these racist people who claim that if I vote for Obama then I am just doing so because he is black! I am offended by this ignorant statement in its entirety. To suggest that I am only voting for Obama because he is black is an insult to Obama, my people and my own intelligence! It insinuates that there will never be a black candidate that is competent, qualified, intelligent, professional, skilled and experienced enough to vote for and the ONLY reason that I or any other black person would have to vote for him is based entirely on race. Don't get me wrong, I mean, race is reality but why can't I support Obama for more reasons than race! Why can't I believe in his promises of change. Why can't I be audacious enough to actually have hope for the future! He does... and i believe in him. I believe that he is capable and competent enough to take control of this country and will do a lot of things for us. The fact that he is black is an added incentive, a bit of chocolate syrup on this plain vanilla ice cream if u will!

I admire Hillary Clinton's intelligence and mastery of politics but she is an old politician, stuck in her old ways. I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion so if you are black and you have decided to vote for Clinton then that is your choice but consider this for a second. Everyone talks of the Clinton's great affinity for blacks but lets have a little bit of a reality check! What was really done specifically for black people during the Clinton administration. The answer NOTHING! How many black people were appointed to positions of power in the government during the Clinton administration? The answer is NONE! For years upon years the Democratic party with the Clintons included have taken the support of blacks for granted. Of course they want our support and money but as long as we stay in our place So if you vote for Clinton you would be better off voting Republican! At least the Republicans have appointed us into power, (i.e. Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice) So RISE people. BECOME AWARE! READ! and most importantly VOTE! There is more to life than "bling"! Remember its has been less than 50 years since were were actually able to exercise suffrage! So do it! Ghandi said "Be the change you want to see in the world".

PHOTOSHOP OR NOT ???

I'm going to give Kelly the benefit of the doubt on this one... Now I KNOW she cannot be stupid enough to get dressed knowing that cameras will be shooting her from EVERY angle and NOT shave under her arms.. She would have had to see that when she applied her deodorant!! So I know somebody with a little too much time on their hands used a lil photoshop magic to put this hair here!! OR AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I HOPE!!

YES, NO, MAYBE MARTINI GLASSES, THE FUTURE OF FLIRTING

I thought this was really cool. It is a concept design by Michael Roller called the Yes, No Maybe Martini glasses. The asymmetrical shape of the glass gives the ordinary martini glass a bit of character and personality. But the best part is how the glasses can be positioned together. When two people flirt, one glass can lean into another to show the person next to them that they are interested. This give the other person the opportunity to turn their glass toward or away without ever saying a word. It's fun and flirty...not to mention fresh and innovative.. I like! 

A LIL LOVEY DOVEY, KISS KISS??

I don't know what Bush whispered in the ear of Rep. Christopher Shay of Connecticut but whatever it was it:

But it prompted this reaction...

And here's a close up...in Hi-Def...

Ok I know its supposed to be don't ask, don't tell, but forget that..I'm asking: Why is this man kissing your neck Mr. Bush??? Inquiring minds want to know...

MEET THE LADIES OF FLAVOR OF LOVE 3 (AND I USE THE TERM LADIES LOOSELY)

As you may have heard Flava Flav is back looking for "love" in Flavor of Love 3...VH-1 claimed that this season the "ladies" were more humble, classy and serious about finding "love"...Well by looking at these pics, I'm going to steal a quote from that classic film Friday, "U ain't gosta lie, (Vh-1), U ain't gosta lie"

Lets meet the "ladies" shall we:

Thing 1(Why?)

Thing 2 (Ok..why again?)

                                                                           

Bee-Ex

Dyme (I'm assuming her name is referring to the entire cost of her outfit)

Bunz (let me guess how she got her name)

El

Prancer (as in Prancer and Dancer and Donner and Vixen??)

Peechee (uumm too easy)

Rayna

Q-tee (she kinda looks like hoops)

IT'S A SIGN!!!...NO REALLY IT IS

Believe it or not this is an actual road sign in Newberry, South Carolina that directs traffic to nearby towns, Clinton and Prosperity. Hmmmm how ironic..

DEAR KELLY, (letters to the famous)

Dear Kelly,

I know that you are trying. Hell it isn't easy to make it big living in the shadow of the "Almighty Beyonce" ...I actually think that you can sing and I know your talent spands far beyond what Papa Knowles allows you to reveal. But I think you've lost yourself in trying to compete with B. I mean lets be honest, she is waaay better at this sex appeal thing than you... So maybe you should try your talents elsewhere because you're trying too hard sweetie. Like the great "philospher" Jigga said "We don't believe you, you need more people" This performance at the G-A-Y in London with your a$$ hanging out is to say the least, not a good look...Resorting to stripteasing in hooker wear will not make you better than Beyonce...I'm just saying...Do Better sweetie! Your fans need you...ALL THREE OF THEM!

KENNEDY'S SUPPORT OBAMA...AND THE LIST GOES ON

Barrack Obama's presidential campaign has picked up a very much desired endorsement of Sen. Edward Kennedy, Caroline Kennedy (Former Pres. Kennedy's daughter) and Rep. Patrick Kennedy (Sen. Edward's son).

Sen. Kennedy referred to Obama as "a new national leader who has given America a different kind of campaign--a campaign not just about himself, but about all of us." He spoke in Washington about the similarities between the works of his assasinated brothers John and Robert and the campaign promises of Obama. The senator remained on the sideline for months claiming he was friends with all three democratic candidates but then went on to say at the rally:

"Every time I've been asked over the past year who I would support in the Democratic primary, my answer has always been the same: I'll support the candidate who inspires me, who inspires all of us, who can lift our vision and summon our hopes and renew our belief that our country's best days are still to come," Kennedy said. "I've found that candidate. And I think you have, too."

Caroline Kennedy said that Obama "offers the same sense of hope and inspiration" as did her father. Rep. Kennedy offered his support also.

Black author Toni Morrison, who once labeled Bill Clinton as the "first black president" has now offered her endorsement of the Obama campaign.. Morrision said that she always has admired Hillary Clinton for her vast knowledge and mastery of politics but stated that Obama's "creative imagination which coupled with brilliance equals wisdom."

oooooooh TAKE THAT HILLARY....and Bill!

MONEY ON MY MIND AND MY CLOTHES..

Money Clothing, a clothing brand established in England in 2003 by Melvyn de Villiers and Nick Cordell has released some interesting creations designed for those who like to wear their wealth on their sleeve per se. The latest additions to their line are no different. The "Waist of Money" belt, designed by Wendy Blandes Jewelry in London, is 3.3 pounds of 18 karat gold.  T.I. wore a belt similar to this one at the 2007 MTV VMA's that was priced at about $40,000. 

And for the ladies or "gentleman" they have the "Swag Bag" , an Italian leather duffle lined with fifty actual $1 bills and detailed with 18 karat gold hardware. Now that is different.

Rappers, Chingy, The Clipse and Cassidy are fans of this brand... Its kind of ironic how the ones with the least amount of money want to show it off the most....hmmmm
