P. Diddy(pee poppa diddy pop)'s Political Video.
Sometimes celebrities get up on the mic to talk politics, and you're taken aback how surprisngly well spoken and informed they are, and how the opinions of someone with a competely different lifestyle, set of circumstances and priorities can so mirror your own thoughts and feelings.
(see: the lead-off story, last "This Week In Awesome")
And then sometimes this happens.
ahh well. Atleast his heart's in the right place. Points for effort.
Speaking of Obama support, a guy made a Giant Lego Obama. Or...

Judging from the stern warning on his website, the guy's being kind of a dickhole about how his Lego™ depiction of a public figure is somehow his copywrite (a legal grey area at best). Ok, I'm bullshitting, Maybe you CAN copywrite pictures of something you did to get attention on the internet, but that doesn't mean it isn't kind of silly.Credit where due ofcourse, but if you run into him, don't tell him I posted these. I don't want to rile someone with that much time on his hands.
...Or, on second thought, DO let him know! Maybe he'll make a giant lego carpet depicting me being killed or sued for copywrite infringement or something. That'd be awesome.
I always knew there was something off about that story. "George Lucas gon' sue somebody!"

Things I've Learned from Women Who've Dumped MeAnthology, Edited by Ben Karlin, Read by it's contributors.
First off, I should note that I didn't so much read this, as this helped me discover the joys of Audiobooks. My iPod is no stranger to all-talk Podcasts (SModcast, wut wuut!), stand-up, or spoken word, But this was the first genuine audiobook I'd obtained, so it was still a bit foreign to me.
This (audio)book is an anthology of High Fidelity-esque comedic yet surprisingly heartfelt tales of lost love, written and read in the first person by authors and comedians such as Stephen Colbert, Patton Oswalt, Dan Savage & Andy Richter (although I felt most of the best stories were told by those I was heretofore unaware of). Adding to the High Fidelity comparisons, it has a wonderfully written into by Nick Hornby, but as he was unavailable to record, it's reading is handled masterfully by The Daily Show's John Oliver.
The writing is rich and enjoyable throughout, and although some stories are better than others, But like a Ramones album, the ones that aren't as good never feel tedious. This book comes recommended, even more so the audiobook, if you happen to be ridiculously lazy like me.
As a Catholic-raised youth, it is unsettling to see how much those comics mirrored my youth.
ReplyDeleteI mean, how awkward was it to masturbate to online pornography with your friends in the room? Of course, it was always nice when my dad would break into the room randomly and alleviate the tension.
