Why aren't campaign ads more like this?

For the educational part of this post we'll go with a link to the rebelde way(argentina) site of cuatro; man, this show sure was something else. Embracing its camp appeal this was a hit show, something like the bold & the beautiful for 15-year olds. I believe it has been attempted reproducing its succes in other countries, but this is the real thing!

Chuck Norris facts

As everybody knows(?) Chuck Norris facts stopped being "cool, like, in an ironic way, dude" about 2 years ago; they are now considered cluelessly dorky amongst the hip(even dorkier than claiming Eva Mendes is hotter than Madeleine Stowe; nude photos below).

Let's remember this internet craze by listing 10 of the greatest Chuck Norris facts(if someone spots you reading, proclaim that they are "totally unfunny" and "so last year", and there will be no harm done to your hip-factor):

Guns don't kill people. Chuck Norris kills people.

Chuck Norris doesn't go hunting...CHUCK NORRIS GOES KILLING.

There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck Norris allows to live.

Someone once videotaped Chuck Norris getting pissed off. It was called Walker: Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Chuck Norris has two speeds: Walk and Kill.

In the Bible, Jesus turned water into wine. But then Chuck Norris turned that wine into beer.

When Chuck Norris talks, everybody listens. And dies.

On his birthday, Chuck Norris randomly selects one lucky child to be thrown into the sun.

Chuck Norris has a deep and abiding respect for human life... unless it gets in his way.

It takes 14 puppeteers to make Chuck Norris smile, but only 2 to make him destroy an orphanage.

Film Review

Time for the first movie review of this page. The victim will be "Lethal Weapon 4".

Overall rating: Don't ever EVER watch this unless you're a die hard Jet Li fan, and you have it on vhs/dvd and can fast forward to his scenes.

Running time: 127 mins.

Review: This "movie" is really 2 different features. One of them stars Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. This movie is obnoxious, annoying and totally offensive. There isn't too much of a plot going on in this one except some generic family stuff and jokes about getting old. Har har. Most of this movie consists of Mel and Danny engaging in supposedly funny "buddy-cop banter"(I cannot stress enough how cringingly, obscenely, excruciatingly annoyingly UNfunny and BORING this is) while living in Dirty Harrys fantasy-world: All criminals are foreigners, young black men are Chris Rock, citizens have NO rights whatsoever, and collateral damage is not a problem - Hell, people should just get out of the way when the "heroes" start shooting.

Furthermore, it may be that Mel channeled the Holy Spirit directing "The Passion of the Christ", but he sure had a lot of practice channeling inanimate objects in THIS movie; he and Danny sport a disturbingly dead look in the eyes one would expect to find on rape victims or in prison camps. That sure gave this film a snuff-feel that added to the overall uneasiness. Chris Rock just looked ashamed both for himself and for his "co-stars".

The other movie is all about making Jet Li look cool, and it delivers pretty good. The plot has something to do with Li being a triad boss, printing counterfeit chinese money to pay his brothers ransom, said brother being held captive by a corrupt chinese general. I know, this kind of stuff happens all the time in LA, right?

While any other chinese in this movie looks like an extra from "Walker, Texas Ranger", Li gets to wear some decent clothes, look cool and actually act consistently. You root for this guy!

On two different occasions Li kills some guy without any sensible reason(and they were his own people), and in yet another scene he kills some guys nephew to make him do something he was already doing. And he kicks a pregnant woman in the head. Yes this man is evil, we get it! But his motives are understandable and he fights for family.

Now, sometimes these two movies intersect and people die(never our "heroes" unfortunately), but this only serves to remind us all that Jet Li is effortlessly cool and our "heroes" are morons, annoying at that.

Final Verdict: Jet Li is cool, everybody else in this movie should be ashamed or in hiding.

Don Lafontaine

Recently, Don Lafontaine passed away(official cause of death is yet to be confirmed). Though his name might not sound familiar to you, his voice very probably will. This is the man who revolutionized the voiceover of the modern movie trailer. Think back to any 80's action movie trailer going:"In a world where...etc etc...; one man can do the job(/fight back/bring justice/etc.)". It'll be him. Not confined to any single genre or media, this mans voice has been unavoidable in popular(and not so popular) culture for the last 40 years.
Let's go for some examples:

Bloodsport: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxQW2UogfUs

Commando(seriously, don't miss this trailer, it's pure art):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh-QUh69MCg


If trailers just don't sound right in future films, you now know why.

Ice-T

Ice-T(neé Tracy Lauren Marrow) is a famous rapper/actor/ex-pimp(jep!) who certainly is worth checking out on. One of the founders of the socalled gangsta rap(back when that meant something) Ice-T really got in the public eye, when following the killing of Tupac Shakur and the riots in L.A., he made a (very good) song titled "Cop Killer". The lapd did not respond graciously.

This description makes Ice-T sound very controversial, but he tends to be wonderfully consistent and clearspoken; this man finds the message more important than the shock effect.
The complexity of his character is for instance to be seen in his playing the part of Detective Fin Tutuola in the show Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, which as far as I'm informed is about the only show of its kind, and a very good one at that.

I would like to recommend checking out Ice-T and bodycount on youtube, especially, cop killer, born dead and the winner loses.

Finally some quotes from the man himself:

So you don't have to take us too seriously; I mean, we're already intimidating enough on stage.

The Constitution is a figment of your imagination, held up to make people believe they have rights. I don't believe anybody in this country has rights

You can't come out on a record dissing the system and be on a label that's connected to the system.

Mythbusters

Seriously, I know this was what you were looking for(maybe subconsciously) when you googled mythbusters kari byron. Don't deny it and you'll feel better.

Another thing on the program today is commenting on how somebody affiliated to a (medical?)research netconnection, has checked out my blog. Yes, you can find sociological marvels on this page, but medical? The rice principle?(rest, ice, compression, elevation) is, like, my best offer.
