Sex sells, I guess

For years sex has been used to sell everything, but the new Arby's commercial comes off more as creepy. See for yourself.


I like how the hat pops up at the end to let you know he's got a boner. The commercial creeps me out, like this dude has chopped up a bunch of women and made an Arby's uniform out of human flesh. "It put's the Arby's sauce in the basket!"

Needless to say, I am never eating at Arby's.

Hey baby, do that dance

Those of you who know me, know I dress for comfort. I mean I look ok, have some new fashions, but I keep it chill. But apparently to some I looked thugged out.

On Friday I went into Walgreens to pick up my wife's perscriptions. As I came out a white hip hop looking couple with strong eastern European accents came up to me and asked me "Where is Fulton Street?" I knew immediately they were not looking for Fulton St., but rather Fulton Street Mall, home of 500 sneaker shops, 1,000 cell phone/pager stores, and countless hood rat clothing stores. I replied, "You mean Fulton St. Mall right?" They answered, "No, Fulton St., there is sneakers store here, and here and there." My reply, "You mean Fulton Street Mall, you want to shop and buy sneakers and stuff, right?" "Yes, Yes!"

Although the only thing I have ever bought from Fulton Street Mall, was a smoothie from Dunkin Donuts, I am mad that from where we were standing I knew exactly how to get there. I guess it's how birds know where to fly every winter.

This is NOT Josh Homer! Nor will it ever be.

Racism or just pride?

Everyone who has been to Cold Stone Creamery knows that when you tip the people there, they sing. Usually it's something like "We got a tip" etc. However in the Cold Stone in Brooklyn, when you tip them they sing a remix of Biggie Smalls' Hypnotize. Not only did I get a tub of Apple Pie a la Cold Stone but I was able to say "Brooklyn stand up!" and no one batted an eye.



Maybe Cold Stone ice cream put the Biggie in Biggie

WTF Amazon buyers?

So I'm searching for home gym stuff because once the kid comes, I don't think I will be able to do the whole 2 hour gym thing (30 minutes travel time to and from teh house, 20-30 minutes to shower and change, 60 minutes to work out and stretch). So I went to Amazon to find some nice things to work out with that I can store under my bed.

Turns out that the people who love to work out at home also love the movie American Psycho the Uncut Killer Collector's Edition. Click for a better view.

Walmart is sketchy

So this guy names his son Adolf Hitler, then he tries to get a birthday cake with "Adolf Hitler" spelledf on it from Shoprite. Shorite tells him to eff off, they're not doing it. Since Shoprite said no, they went to Walmart, and of course Walmart made the cake. Walmart only cares about that dollar. It also turns out the guy requested previously had asked for a swastika to be included in the decoration of his kid's cakes.

The father claims he named his kid Adolf Hitler because he liked the name and because "no one else in the world would have that name" and he says he is not racist. Yeah I believe that, especially since the kids older sister's name is JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell.

My thing is this, if you're a racist just be a racist. Don't try to back peddle and side step it. I could at least respect that, instead of being a racist and a coward.

Click here

I'm a Kanye West fan, I have all his albums etc. I read his blog. What I just realized is his blog is basically links to other blogs: it's a sample.

No baby yet

This weekend was our baby's due date; he was not born. We did get so many loving calls, emails, texts, facebook messages, IMs asking if the baby was born; all from people who don't have kids.

No Mister

We all know Hollywood is doing remakes of older movies because they have no new ideas and/or they are not willing to take a chance on anything new (See The Day the Earth Stood Still or Starsky & Hutch.) However you could always count on a least different actors. Not anymore. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Yes Man or as I like to call it Liar Liar 2.

Haven't we seen the exact same plot but with a different reason to explain it? No Josh there is a difference, that Jim Carrey had to tell the truth and this Jim Carrey has to say yes to everything. Oh yeah, then which movie is this picture from?

"Did you eat my food that I had in the company fridge?"
He either has to tell the truth or say yes.

I'm not buying it

There is a new trend in New York; kids on the street claiming to be homeless and asking for my money. The only problem is I don't buy it. The kid out today begging looked to be around 20, but he had product in his hair! How the eff you are begging for money and you've got a faux-hawk all hair sprayed up? There are no rips in your jeans that you did not put there! There is one kid who begs everynight has a pea-coat! I have never been able to affort a pea-coat! Eff you kid.

Spare some change? We're like totally homeless and shit.

This makes me laugh

I don't know why we are in a desert, why Nadia is wearing hijab, or why we both look crazy. Either way, I laugh everytime I see it, and I also pray my kid doesn't look like that.

It works both ways

My mom came to visit us this week. She saw a picture of an Indian kid I sponsor and asks my wife, "Is that your cousin?"
