New M.I.A.

Photobucket

M.I.A's latest video "Born Free" was released yesterday and it's pretty heavy. So if you're easily offended approach with caution. There IS violence and sexual content. But it's very political and satirical. 

Some may say it's too much (read: Youtube banned it), but if you don't take it at face value it's do-able. I personally can't wait for Fox and Bill O'Reilly to comment on this.

WHO DAT say we can't print WHO DAT!

This is an amazing letter senator David Vitter sent to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell basically telling NFL to SUCK IT and back off on trademarking "Who Dat":

Dear Commissioner Goodell:

I was stunned to learn recently that the NFL is taking the position that it owns the exclusive trademark of the term "Who Dat" and has even threatened legal action against some mom-and-pop merchants selling t-shirts using the term. I would urge you to drop this obnoxious and legally unsustainable position and instead agree that "Who Dat" is in the public domain, giving no one exclusive trademark rights.

This letter will also serve as formal legal notice that I am having t-shirts printed that say "WHO DAT say we can't print Who Dat!" for widespread sale in commerce. Please either drop your present ridiculous position or sue me.

"Who Dat was probably first heard in New Orleans minstrel shows well over 130 years ago. Much more recently, but before it was used in connection with the Saints, it was used as a rallying cry by St. Augustine High School in New Orleans. In the 1980s it was adopted by Saints fans in a completely spontaneous way. Only later did any legal persons, including the Saints and the NFL, try to claim it through registration.

Perhaps more significant than this history, "Who Dat" has become part of New Orleans and Louisiana popular culture. For the NFL to try to claim exclusive ownership of it would be like me registering and trying to claim exclusive ownership of the terms "lagniappe" and "laissez les bons temps rouler!"

Under Paul Tagliabue's leadership, the NFL was an unbelievable partner in helping us recover and rebuild after Hurricane Katrina. Thank you again. We look forward to your dropping your "Who Dat" position so that this partnership can continue without strain or blemish.

Sincerely,

David Vitter
Junior Senator of Who Dat Nation

Get involved and sign this online petition to stop NFL from owning "Who Dat"!

WHO DAT!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS


I'm buying this issue of Newsweek not only because Stephen Colbert is on the cover, but also because he's going to be the first guest editor at newsweek since 76 years! Good choice Newsweek. Good choice.

The Governator? More like Mayor Durden.



Check this tee for sale at Storyville. Brad Pitt for the next mayor of New Orleans! I'd certainly watch the political jargon shows on TV if he was mayor.

$20 at Storyville

Here are the 13 reasons they give that Brad Pitt should be mayor of NOLA. I'm especially feeling no. 10 and 13.

Reason #1 - He's Qualified

Rather than having to make vague and unpersuasive connections between clearly unrelated qualifications such as, say, franchise executive and governing abilities, the qualifications of our candidate are plainly obvious: as the worldwide audience of Homer’s Troy can attest, Mr. Brad Pitt clearly has the stomach for the job, not to mention the shoulders to carry the burden of governance.

Reason #2 - NOLA ♥'s Brad Pitt

By bestowing the great office of Mayor of our city upon Mr. Pitt, we, the citizens, are afforded the opportunity to say thanks for the many wonderful things this gentleman has already done for us. What better way to show our heart-felt appreciation than to present to him the mayoral office, the patronage trough, the cornucopia of our great city, that which we hold so dear and is ours to bequeath?

Reason #3 - Lagniappe

If we elect Brad Pitt mayor, Angelina Jolie would be the First Lady of New Orleans.

Reason #4 - Technology and Gastronomy

Instead of technology executives vying for malfunctioning anti-crime camera installation contracts and lap dances, movie moguls from everywhere will lobby the mayor to get a table on Galatoire’s ground floor for the Friday before Mardi Gras all-afternoon lunch.

Reason #5 - Publicity

Publicity and photo opportunities will chase our Mayor, instead of the Mayor chasing publicity and photo opportunities.

Reason #6 - Urban Planning

We will not have to rename a street to honor his name, as Pitt Street already exists.

Reason #7 - City Council Relations

Stacy Head will be nice to the new Mayor.

Reason #8 - Economics

Instead of executive travel expenses depleting our budget, the city’s coffers will be filled through generous personal appearance fees earned by Mr. Pitt as our elected leader and ambassador.

Reason #9 - Convention Business

New Orleans will become the magnet for conventions of professional women’s organizations worldwide. The warm glow of pink Cadillacs will illuminate our Southern nights. This mass of sensually charged femininity will attract male visitors eager to contribute their economic stimulus.

Reason #10 - Jazz Fest

Instead of being greeted by the ubiquitous presence of Shell (God bless them!), visitors to Jazz Fest will be welcomed at the main entrance by our Mayor enthroned on the King of Rex Float, officiated by his Secretary of Music, Quint Davis.
GHP Says: Can we be greeted by Maddox too? That FURCE KID.

Reason #11 - Rebuilding

Rather than relying on Aussie eloquence and narrative creativity or malfunctioning federal and state agencies, Mr. Pitt, as our chief executive will, instead, lead us, the local Pittwomen and Pittmen, in the fight against blight, crime, poverty and lack of humor. Dressed in period costumes and assisted by experienced producers, set builders, make-up artists, and camera operators, this cast of thousands will launch our Renaissance epic in weekly reality sequels.

Reason #12 - Transparency

Instead of having to sue for the release of public records, or to attempt to restore accidentally deleted emails, we can learn everything about our first executive from the pages of the National Enquirer and People Magazine.

Reason #13 - Integrity

Rather than governing our city to achieve fortune, fame and a book deal, our candidate already has achieved fortune, fame and MOVIE deals.

BRAD PITT WE LOVE YOU BBY! BENJAMIN BUTTON WAS A GOOD MOVIE.

H1N1 influenza A

Someone just tweeted this on my facebook homepage and I thought it was clever!

Flying pig

"100 years ago they said the day we have a black president is the day pigs fly...well day 100 of having a black president and..SWINE FLU"

Apparently we're not supposed to call it swine flu anymore though.

Single Presidents



Oh My God. This guy is TOO FIERCE. I can only WISH WITH ALL MY HEART, that the real Barack Obama made a video like this.

Epic Everything

The first black president in American history. Words cannot describe how elated I am that Barack Obama won the presidential election. I don't think I've ever cared about anything more than I did for this presidential election.

As long as Sarah Palin is 3000 miles away from the white house again, all is well in the world. And Alaska, I'm sorry you have to deal with her...I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy even.

Anyway, I hope these four years can bring changes to our country that will make America a good place again. I'm tired of the international world looking down on this country and I'm tired of the dollar being worth like half a euro. I know that wouldn't have changed under McCain. And Palin's stupid ass would've been the downfall of international relationships all together.

I want my family to have ACTUAL health insurance. Because what can $5000 buy in the health industry? A bottle of anti-depressants? One chemo treatment? Sorry, you're fucked after a month.

And to the people, especially college students, who think Obama is trying to suck your piggy bank dry.....stop being greedy fuck faces.
1. You won't even be paying taxes while Obama is in office. So that "Great now I have to pay for someone's welfare for 4 years" shit doesn't fly. STFD.
2. ON THE CONTRARY, people are paying for YOUR "welfare." You think Pell grants grow on trees?
3. And you call yourself Christian? One of the Christian fundamentals is giving back to your community. You give money to your church every week and this buys your preacher a C-Class. I think it's okay to give money to your country so a working class mother can buy dinner for her children. And a family can afford to send their child to college.

End rant.
