This blog is dead
I will no longer be posting to this blog.
Instead, I have launched a blog con sesos. Here lies the shit.

More than meets the eye
The coolness of the costumes I think is inversely proportional to how often these guys get laid. That sentence itself proves what a dork I am.
Thank you, come again!
To promote the new Simpsons movie, marketers have re-skinned select 7-11s throughout the country into Kwik-E-Marts. The one in Seattle is on Denny near Aurora.
What’s crazy is the employees need to wear badges that say “Apu.” In the Seattle mart, the African-American employee wore the badge, and the Indian employee didn’t. Funny that.

USA Network’s surreal dub over “fuck someone in the ass” actually makes this scene funnier in THE BIG LEBOWSKI.

Stumbled upon this going through kozyndan’s blog. It’s a collaborative video piece with Motion Theory that shows you what would happen if this incredible husband-and-wife illustrator team’s artwork came to real life. Used as a promo for Resfest.
Also, am not thrilled by the execution but a great idea nonetheless… an interactive version of kozyndan’s art where you can create your own panorama.
Borat : Review and Commentary
My biggest problem with the film? Besides the absence of any sort of narrative logic and moral value, was the lack of male full frontal. There is quite a prolonged, sweatful exchange between the hero and his sidekick, both sporting opposing yet equally impressive physiques, that nears coitus under the guise of wrestling, which ultimately serves no other purpose other than to titillate the viewer. In the end, the viewer is robbed of seeing the goods, and that is just plain shameful.
Why Hollywood is okay with exploiting the female form yet remains so Puritanical when it comes to hirsute man-on-man action is a mystery to me.
Narrative Logic: 0 stars
Moral Value: 0 stars
Erotic Appeal: 1/2 star
Political Relevance: 3-1/2 stars
Travelogue Use: 6-1/4 stars
Is it true that Borat speaks Hebrew in the film?
