you just kept yelling NO BUENO SENOR at the cashier and throwing coins at him, of course you were going to get kicked out of the grocery store

Drunk off five beers on a Tuesday. I'm not sure which part of that statement is more sad

you were passed out in your cheese fries by the time he brought out your second order of french toast.

Is that legal?


in June, Fox News parent company News Corp., the Murdoch-owned media giant, donated $1 million to the Republican Governors Association.

I think Fox news AT VERY LEAST needs to change it's motto from "Fair & Balanced". And I think if a news program supports a political party they should be called entertainment so people who want balanced news aren't confused right? Ridiculous.

Awesome Article on the inside of the Prop 8 Trial


Editor's note: Lisa Bloom is the managing partner of The Bloom Firm, where she practices civil and criminal law.

(CNN) -- There's a big difference between a political debate about same-sex marriage and the recent hard-fought court challenge to the California ban, Proposition 8.
In politics, anything goes: Vague, sinister comments about same-sex marriage threatening children or undermining the sanctity of heterosexual marriage were prevalent during the Prop 8 campaign. In court, same-sex marriage opponents needed solid evidence to back up these and other claims.
Despite "able and energetic counsel," they never produced it. That's why they lost, resoundingly, in the federal district court. And that lack of evidence should dog opponents up through the chain of appeals that is now beginning, because appellate courts are required to review only the evidence in the court record and to give great deference to Judge Vaughn Walker's findings of fact. He was there, after all, presiding over the trial, and the appellate judges weren't.
And what a lopsided trial he presided over. All the anti-same-sex marriage arguments imploded when subjected to the rules of evidence.

You don't have to have evidence of this point," counsel responded to the judge's question asking what support existed for their claim that "responsible procreation is really at the heart of society's interest in regulating marriage."
No, sorry, at trial, you do have to have evidence. Of this point and every point. (And since -- as even Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia once pointed out in another case -- the sterile and elderly are allowed to marry, it can't be all about procreation.)
Trials turn on admissible evidence -- primarily credible witness testimony or documents, in this type of case. And Prop 8 proponents did not have it. Over and over again, Walker's decision focused on the evidence, the mountain of reliable facts offered by gay marriage advocates, and the glaring lack thereof proffered by gay marriage opponents.
The same-sex-marriage advocates presented eight lay witnesses and nine expert witnesses.
One plaintiff testified that marriage would be a way to tell "our friends, our family ... that this is a lifetime commitment ... we are not girlfriends. We are not partners. We are married." The other three presented similarly compelling, credible testimony about the damage to their dignity, the economic losses, the sting of discrimination they suffered daily due to their legally enshrined second-class citizenship.

Orgies or Beer? You Only Get One


FROM GIZMODO:
In Sex at Dawn, Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá put to lie the notion of sexual monogamy as something intrinsically human, arguing we gave up sexual novelty for agriculture. "Agriculture" probably means "beer". We gave up orgies for beer?

As a lover of both booze and sex alike, it's the most troubling existential question I've ever faced: Would I give up easy access to booze to have easy access to more sexual partners?

To condense a beautifully researched book into a gross synopsis, Ryan and Jethá's theory goes like this:

Anbody Else....


...not as into Jennifer Hudson anymore now that she's a size 6? I don't have anything against small or fit women but when you carve out your Hollywood niche as a big beautiful Diva it's hard to go back in reverse. Plus were just over saturated with small actresses. We could use some curves up on the silver screen! Allright everybody, all aboard the Christina Hendricks Train!!!



Christina Hendricks is the hot bombshell from Mad Men. I've seen her in interviews and she's smart and sweet. As a size 12-14 actress she is CONSTANTLY defending her weight. Even though she is incredibly sexy, that's show biz tho!

Funny Tidbit:


Ms. Hendricks is dating the hilarious dude who scarfed shrooms, weed and who knows what else in the awesome opening scene of Super Troopers. CANDY BARS!!!

You Bieber Believe It!


NOTE: Ok I love Justin Bieber as much as the next wacked out boy obsessed 14 year old but I STILL think it's way to soon for this kid to get a movie and a god damn memoir. He doesn't even have drug OD, sex scandals, shoplifting incidents or anything to his name! Talk about moneymakin' machine....

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Justin Bieber is adding movie star to his resume.

Paramount Pictures, MTV Films and Bieber's record label, Island Def Jam, say the 16-year-old pop star has signed on to appear in a feature film about his life and career.

The yet-to-be-titled movie is set for release on "Valentine's weekend" of 2011, the companies said Tuesday.

Bieber will also be producing the film, along with mentor Usher, manager Scooter Braun and Island Def Jam Music Group chairman LA Reid.

The movie will offer a "VIP backstage pass" into Bieber's life and will feature 3-D footage from his "My World 2.0" concert tour.

The ubiquitous teen sensation is also bringing his life to readers: HarperCollins announced Monday that it will publish his memoir in October.

The ultimate crappy work place Storm Out

Don't we ALL wish we could have a bad ass storm out like this? If you've worked a crappy job you know what I'm talking about. Remember the scene in Half Baked where Scarface quits his job (Fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, Fuck you, IM OUT!).

"To the passenger who called me a motherfucker, fuck you. ... I've been in the business 28 years. I've had it. That's is." That's what passengers on a flight from Pittsburgh to New York City heard over the intercom after their JetBlue flight touched down at Kennedy International Airport Monday afternoon before the angry flight attendant, who had first asked for an apology from the passenger mentioned in his tirade, popped open an emergency door and exited the plane using the emergency slide. According to reports, the flight attendant was able to pull off his tie, grab a couple of beers from the plane's galley, take the AirTran monorail to the parking lot, and drive off before anybody could stop him. Steven Slater, 39, was later arrested at his home in Queens and charged with criminal mischief and reckless endangerment. "At no time was the security or safety of our customers or crew members at risk," JetBlue said in a statement. Officials are working with the Federal Aviation Administration and the Port Authority in New York and New Jersey in investigating the incident. According to one witness, Slater, who has served on JetBlue's uniform redesign and in-flight values committees, became angry after he was hit in the head by a piece of luggage that a passenger was removing before he should have been out of his seat.



On Facebook, a celebrity fan page for Slater already had nearly 8,000 members Tuesday morning. One thousand more people had joined a group called "Free Steven Slater" and fledgling groups included "I hate the m***** f***** who called Steven Slater a m***** f*****" and "I want Steven Slater to be my flight attendant."

Weezer Using JUST Hurley's Face on Album Cover


Weezer's eighth album will come out in September on Epitaph Records, according to The AV Club, who have nobly maintained a subscription to Weezer's Twitter feed despite the band's numerous outrages against good taste. Anyone hoping for another Pinkerton probably won't take much hope from the title — Hurley — but Rivers Cuomo (who's promising "more raw rock energy on this one") is ever-unpredictable; he may yet surprise us with another good album.

Madonna In Paris To Direct Her New Movie


PARIS (AP) -- The Material Girl is illuminating the City of Light, where she's shooting her latest film, "W.E."

Dressed all in black and heavily accessorized in dark shades, a hat and a patterned scarf, Madonna directed Saturday's shoot in Paris' tony 6th district.

The 51-year-old singer made her directorial debut in 2008 with "Filth and Wisdom," about a Ukrainian cross-dressing punk-rocker.

Madonna is not the only U.S. star to film in the French capital this summer.

Last week, Woody Allen was shooting his "Midnight in Paris" on location near the Pantheon and in a park behind Notre Dame cathedral. The film, starring Owen Wilson, also includes a performance by France's first lady, model-turned-singer Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.

Great show for visually oriented drug use




Disney’s California Adventure will unveil new concept art this week at the Blue Sky Cellar preview center for the World of Color water show debuting in 2010.

In the “Alice in Wonderland” sequence from World of Color, the Cheshire Cat’s face will be projected on a fan mist screen while water whips create his body and tail. In the foreground, a diminutive Alice falls into a bottle floating on a psychedelic sea of color amid rising and falling fountains.

World of Color, which blends the nighttime spectacle of Disneyland’s Fantasmic and the Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas, is the first major addition of a $1.1-billion makeover planned for Disney’s California Adventure through 2012.

The 18-minute World of Color will feature an array of dancing fountains, movie projections and lighting effects all tied to the original Sherman Brothers musical score from the 1960s television show.

Walls of water that take the shape of virtually every recognizable Disney character and skyrocketing fountains will shoot so high they’ll obscure the newly renovated 16-story Mickey Mouse Ferris Wheel.

The Blue Sky Cellar preview center is scheduled to reopen Thursday with new artwork of the planned California Adventure expansion.

Another Judd Apatow Example of weak male characters


This is yet another Judd Apatow movie where he makes single and free life look like it will lead you to a pit of drug induced, confusing and painful despair. He tries to promote monogamy relationships even if someone just broke up and needs some single time (Forgetting Sarah Marshall), if the situation is creepily unbalanced by age (Pineapple Express) or if the situation makes absolutely no logical or believable sense whatsoever (Knocked Up). In Get Him to the Greek Jonah Hill's character is in a relationship with a bitchy boring workaholic he has little in common with, the movie doesn't attempt to give us reasons they are even together so when they break up it's a big duh moment. Then Jonah Hills life starts getting a lil crazy which he attributes to the break up of him and his lame girlfriend and not to the fact that he's hanging out and doing the same things as a tweaker rock star. He runs back into her arms, quitting his total dream job so he can move to another city where HER dream job is. Fucking Judd Apatow and his weak male characters who love bitchy boring women...I kid you not, in every Judd Apatow movie is a broken lovable man who puts up with some bitchy boring woman because he feels it's his duty. Name a title, I'll point out the couple....

Day and Night Short


Before Toy Story 3 (which is really really great honestly) there is an amazing short that rivals the movie. I dunno, I cried, it was absolutely gorgeous. I can't find it online so you'll have to go watch Toy Story 3 and see it. It's hard to describe, Wikipedia does best:

"The short film covers the events that occur when Day meets Night. Being of two diametrically opposed personalities, they do not trust each other at first and get off on the wrong foot. They constantly try to outdo each other, with Day doing things like going to the beach where a lady in a bikini is sunbathing. Night whistles, then moves in so he can have her, but at night, she is gone. Later, Day shows off the Las Vegas Strip, but Night shows off the lights and fountain displays. A sunny field in the day becomes a firefly lightshow at night. Moonlit water at night becomes a bustling ocean with fishing boats and children splashing by day. Several other similar differences are shown likewise. But as they discover the positive aspects of each other's qualities, they bond and form a friendship — enabling both to grow as individuals. As the sun sets for (character) Day and rises for Night, they trade identities and part on good terms, Night with his beach lady, kids playing, and people walking around, and Day with his fireworks, lightning bugs, and Vegas Strip."

Bit hard to describe but it's wonderful and at the end there is a quote about the fear of the unknown attributed to Dr. Wayne Dyer in the 1970's, it's when I lost it. We live in a time right now where "fear of the unkown" leads to situations where gay couples can't get marriage licenses, treated as second class citizens in 2010. Where Mexican American citizens are forced to pull over in Arizona for no reason, where mosques are being protested by religious zealots who believe in a different ruler of the universe. It just really hit home, I hope you go see it!

The full text of the quote, from the film, is as follows:

Fear of the unknown.

They are afraid of new ideas.

They are loaded with prejudices, not based upon anything in reality, but based on… if something is new, I reject it immediately because it’s frightening to me. What they do instead is just stay with the familiar.

You know, to me, the most beautiful things in all the universe, are the most mysterious.

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem Hottest Couple Ever



It's just too much! If you don't believe me, check out Vicki Cristina Barcelona. In it they are two passionate painters living in a gorgeous country home in Spain, as if THAT isn't enough they have a long term three way relationship with silver screen sex pot Scarlett Johansson. Anyway, my point is, there really isn't a more sexy couple that I know of...

Jesus Coming May 21st According to Religious Nut Job

Remember Collect Call Commercials??




They were so annoying!! I'm sure they are the source of David Arquette's worst memories and they brought us the wrath of Carrot Top. Those commercials used to be huge!

The Gorgeous Place in Mexico You've Never Heard Of



GUANAJUATO, MEXICO
Well maybe you have heard of it, I decided to finally be the ex-pat I've always wanted to be and move waaaay down South to gorgeous Guanajuato. Seems the more I mention it to people the more I find out I'm late in the game, lots of people know and adore this place!

It's deemed the Rome of Mexico. One glance and the picture can affirm that it's definitely one of Mexico's finest provincial states. Located inland in South Mexico it's about 200 miles north of Mexico city. The building are painted all different colors and the city boasts a University AND one of the world's most prestigious arts and cultural festivals, The International Cervantino Festival in October. Thousands descend on this incredibly safe and clean city to enjoy music, art and cultural from all over the world. Google Guanajuato for more pictures and information if you'd like to know more!!



Getting More Trashy By The Day: The Palin Family


A few weeks ago Bristol Palin announced that she was calling back on the once called off engagement to her baby daddy Levi Johnston. Yes, the same 20 Year old douche bag who slandered her families name all over the tabloids, left her and their baby and posed for Playgirl. Rumors of them shopping for a reality show to make some big cash were confirmed. Now it turns out the engagement is called off for a second time! And not because rumors (now found untrue) that his on again off again Playboy girlfriend was pregnant with his baby. It was because Bristol found a picture of him with his OTHER girlfriend on Facebook. She commented simply "Let's hold off on the engagement" in a really classy manor to end the nearly month old engagement.

WOW. Makes the partying, boozy, fake ID using Bush Twin looks like the damn Obama girls!
