Are We There Yet?

Audi, for some reason, has a concept for a flying car called Shark, designed by Kazim Doku

The two-seater flying sportscar is inspired by the motorclycles and airplanes and offers its passengers “strong sensations and high levels of safety.”

This thing looks more like it should be driven underwater. Nonetheless, this is no doubt very sexual.

Obama Administration Does Coke

Posted in News, Tasty Bevvies with tags , , , , on February 27, 2009 by Enrique Enfuego

Despite the similarities between the Obama logo and Pepsi’s redesigned logo…

And despite Pepsi’s continued efforts to associate itself with the new Administration…

Pepsi still loses battle to long-time foe Coca-Cola. Sorry Pepsi, but it seems the Obama Admistration prefers Coke.

If I recall correctly, President Bush II, despite being a fan of the nose candy, was more of a Pepsi man.

Lil Wayne’s Latest Release: Tha Tard’er

Posted in Music, News with tags , , , , , , , , , on February 27, 2009 by Ash $. Fiscal

According to journalistic pillar TMZ, if you listen to Weezie, you’re stupid. Somebody ”respectable” actually did a study on people’s SAT scores versus their choice of music:

musicthatmakesyoudum2bla

I mean surely this couldn’t be due to the fact that marketers aim ‘urban’ music at inner-city residents, whose access to quality education is severely compromised because of their economic station, right? Right.

Yeah, Weezie is making them dumb.

Cockatoo For Two

Posted in News, Rated R with tags , , , , , on February 27, 2009 by Enrique Enfuego

America never disappoints. Especially the Deep South. Super especially Lousiana. News out of Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s Office today, down in good ‘ole cajun country, that a 53-year-old female trucker, who REALLY wanted a pet bird, was charged with aggravated kidnapping of two poor young kids. Her motive? Exchanging the 4 and 5-year-olds for a cockatoo. Yes, a bird.

sulphurcockatoo1

Well clearly not just any bird. That thing is totally tubular.

You tell me what’s worse: kidnapping two young kids and trading them for a cockatoo or selling your 14-year-old daughter for $16,000, 100 cases of beer, and several cases of meat?

The bird will probably outlast the money, meat and beer, but it’s still a toss up in my mind.

Arrested Redevelopment

Posted in Movies, News with tags , , , , , , on February 27, 2009 by Enrique Enfuego

One of the funniest, most clever television series of the past decade just got one step closer to hitting the silver screen. The entire cast of “Arrested Development” is now on board to shoot the feature length film, which may not even have a script yet.

What was the hold up? Michael Cera, who will always be remembered by many as George Michael Bluth, was concerned that this role would only further contribute to being typecast as someone similar to George Michael.  In my opinion, that is not the worst thing in the world. His character’s awkward situations on the show are some of my favorite clips from any tv series. It’s what he does well and he should embrace it.

Couldn’t find a suitable clip, but the shirt he’s rocking in this pic is where it’s at…

Laziness Over Ugliness

Posted in Gadgets, News with tags , , , , on February 27, 2009 by Enrique Enfuego

I was eating breakfast this morning, watching some TV, and I had the good fortune of seeing a commercial for this beauty…

p33196b

What the fuck is that, you say?  It’s a Topsy Turvy Upside Down Hanging Tomato Planter. I know you are all dying to have one on your front porch too, so don’t hesistate swing by their website and drop $19.95 plus shipping and handling.

What are the benefits of this device besides aesthetics? For starters, you know longer have to dig or weed, or maintain any sort of garden for that matter. Instead of having a quaint little garden you can show to your house guests, you can hang one of these bad boys anywhere you please. I think it would make a fly ass chandelier…

Oh America, sometimes I wonder if I even know you anymore.

Cracking the Da Vinci Code of Pregnancy Tests

Posted in News with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on February 26, 2009 by Jennesis

I just saw a really disturbing commercial on T.V. for a pregancy test and felt the need to come here and share my thoughts. The commercial is for a Clear Blue pregnancy test that digitally displays the words “Pregnant” or “Not Pregnant” depeneding on whether or not you have a little fetus starting to grow inside of you. So far, so good, right? Then, the commercial goes on to ask the viewer, “Did you know that 1 in 4 women can misread a traditional pregnancy test result?” Okay so let me get this straight. The problem is that dumb bitches have unprotected sex then, think that they might be preggers, so, they pee on the stick and then have trouble reading the test? And, this is a pretty common occurance, 1 out of every 4 women? This is extremely disturbing. First, I want to know how many of those “1 in 4” is actually pregnant because that could, potentially, be a much more disturbing fact. Secondly, why is the solution to this ridiculous problem to make the test so blaintantly obvious that anyone over that age of 5 could read it? I mean, that’s just lazy and ultimately, deterimental to all parties involved. If you can’t decipher a pregancy test, you should NOT have kids OR be indirectly or directly attempting to conceive. Please keep your vagina hidden in a safe place until you acquire the intellectual capacity to read a pregnancy test. Thanks.

The Ram Jam

Posted in Sports, Throwback Thursdays with tags , , , , , , on February 26, 2009 by Enrique Enfuego

One day Los Angeles will have its own NFL franchise again, but it is unlikely the uniforms of this potential team will be as good as those from the past…

nfl_g_dickerson_400

The style back then was just so much more fresh.

The Los Angeles Rams eventually would skip town for the Gateway City, and as the team improved , the jerseys devolved.

Moral of the story: If you are going to abandon us, the least you can do is keep your style intact.

Phil Jackson has been a man of many looks…

phil-jackson-1970s-basketball-cardp1_phil1

but one thing has remained constant…the dude is sexy.

Call it a man crush, but I envy that ‘stache so hard.

His facial hair has seen many manifestations, but unfortunately he and sidekick Kurt Rambis ditched the ‘staches this season.

Maybe one day I will be able meet this living legend with ‘stache in tow. Anything can happen, he’s been known to engage in the occassional bromance.

Obama Gets His Sign

Posted in News with tags , , , , on February 25, 2009 by Enrique Enfuego

In the world of American Sign Language (ASL), a lot of words and names are communicated through fingerspelling, letter by letter. However, many proper nouns, like popular places and people, will have their own sign.

If you are ever caught in a situation where need to communicate the name of the 44th President using ASL, you will be happy to know that it is no longer necessary to fingerspell. I present to you the “Obama Sign” as displayed by this creepy dude…

obama

It is the letter “O” followed by the sign for “flag.” The idea is that it represents Obama’s famous symbol…

The ‘G’ Is For Good Game

Posted in Music, News, Sports, Video with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on February 25, 2009 by Ash $. Fiscal

When those ‘G’ ads started running, nobody knew what they were about. I guess it always helps to identify your product in a commercial? But I think everyone agreed that they were appealing, particularly to sports fans. What SportsCenter junkie wouldn’t enjoy a crisp scroll-by of sports figures from epic (Muhammad Ali) to esoteric (Chaz Ortiz)?

Now Gatorade has gone beyond just obscure sports figures like “hot as a pistol“ autistic basketball hero Jason McElwain. Their newest plug is through indie rapper Murs, whom LA ad agency TBWA\Chiat\Day commissioned to produce a song about what ‘G’ means. I’ve been following Murs since he would hop on stage at other rappers’ shows with a Harry Potter shirt and a genie beard to freestyle… it’s good to see the man get some pretty big-time work. The song is gonna be used in lots of places, online and otherwise, but here is the video for the song itself…

On this day of days I’d prefer to see burnt carbon on your forehead than see this:

Unless of course you can sprint at an Olympian pace like the man in the video. My, I’d love to see That Dude From The Home Depot Accident Video vs. George W. Bush in a reflex-off showdown.
