Breaking News: Defaced Poster for Tyler Perry's Meet The Browns Probably More Funny Than Tyler Perry's Meet The Brown's

Great Poster! Let's look a little closer.

The drawn on mustache, an original classic that never goes out of style.



I know Tyler Perry is big these days, but who knew he could get Charles Manson out of jail and a big time acting role to boot (albeit in blackface)!

Product Review: 3 Musketeers Mint with Dark Chocolate

You might have seen this new candy bar in stores or in various forms of advertisements. Perhaps you've wondered (like I did) whether this new creation was a bold step into a wonderful future full of robots and cyborgs. Or perhaps you worried (like I did), that this twisted genetic mutation engineered by scientists in white lab coats was an ill-conceived affront on god and nature.

The packaging proclaims this new candy bar to be %45 less fattening than the old model. Once you open the package you immediately see the ultimate price these 3 musketeers paid in an effort to convince gay men and broads to eat their candy.

Not only is the girth of the bar noticeably smaller, it is broken into two pieces. The second piece had been instantly eaten by a coworker of mine before it could be photographed, so if you're a stickler for accuracy, get really drunk until you see two of the above image.


Now for the innards. I curiously sunk my sweaty teeth into the bar's dark chocolate and peppermint flavour. As the taste set in I realized that this was no 3 musketeers bar, but a complete rip off of a York Peppermint Patty! Bullshit. No creamy nougat taste, and only enough in the bag to fill up the tummy of an anorexic 10 year old.

I was let down by Billy Ray again. For the time being I'll look to the original to get some nougat, and raid your grandma's candy dish for some York Peppermint Patty's if I ever have the urge to eat them old time shits!

My Missed Connection with Billy Dee Williams

While taking a break from the high life to enter some expense reports, I noticed just how close I came to rubbing shoulders with one of the most dashing rogues of all time.

Take a look at this:

Now, a little bit closer:

I guess catering is all a Rogue can do after all the death stars have been destoyed. Assorted Sandwhich Trays and Chips: WORKS EVERYTIME!

Facial Hair February

You know what that means!

Rambo Beacon

I'll be the first to admit I was a little annoyed at the new "beacon" advertising feature from facebook. That all changed as my heart swelled with pride when this bad boy popped up:

Be True To Your School

While treasure hunting in LA last weekend (metal detector held with both hands mom!), I stumbled across this rare krugerand:


Sneaker shop Undefeated teamed up with Nike and 144 lab to commemorate the release of "vintage" (re: made to look old), college themed dunks. 144 provided the space, Undefeated provided the tees, and Nike (surprise!) provided the kicks.

My guesses for the kicks (l to r), bottom row: Kentucky, UConn, Marquette, St. Johns, Syracuse, Iowa. Top row; Georgetown, UNLV.

I was really diggin the G'Town look.


Nike has ben promoting the BTTYS pack with a Dunk-themed manga. It think it's weird but I ain't hatin!

The inside of the studio. Cleverly, a locker theme is used to help me remember what school was like!

Nike ID Studio Air Max Classic BW

By the good graces of the company I work for, I recently got a free trip to the new Nike ID studio (it used to be it's own store in SOHO, now it's inside Niketown). For those that don't know, the studio is basically a souped up version of the experience the Nike ID website provides. Not only are you privy to more styles, materials, and colors, you are also forced to have contact with actual live humans!

While the last part may or may not sound like a good thing to you, it turned out to be a very cool thing for me. So as not to screw up and order a blank shoe, you are paired with one of the resident Nike ID designers. I'm not sure what qualifies one to be a shoe designer at Nike ID (other than being able to wield a mouse), but I was able to snoop around for a bit and find a dude who knew what he was doing. I found myself thinking out loud (re: standing in the corner and screaming at passersby) about wanting to make a shoe with incredible hulk colors, when I was informed that one of the designers had an entire catalog of superhero-themed colorways.

I have to admit that this catalog was pretty cool, ranging from the popular (spiderman), to the lame (Mrs. Fantastic?), to the relatively-unheard-of-by-normal-people (Darkseid). I decided to rock something that:

• I wouldn't normally buy.
• Had cool colors.

So I settled on Ghost Rider. Because I wanted to be at least somewhat orginal, I worked with the designer to make the Ghost Rider kicks in a style he had not yet attempted them in. This turned out to be the Air Max Classic BW. One of the cooler aspects of the design process is that once you've settled on the final outcome, you get a little card with all the product info and a picture to stare at until the day your shoes arrive.

Now, lucky for you, that day has arrived!
