How ‘Super Size Me’ Fooled Everyone

Cancer sucks but I have no sympathy for Morgan Spurlock. I express my condolences to his friends and family but the man was a fraud. He was also a scumbag. I mean, he had one of the most punchable faces of all time. That douchebag facial hair and his goofy-dumb grin made you question howContinue reading “How ‘Super Size Me’ Fooled Everyone”

Memorial Day Is For Remembering Not For Celebrating And Consumerism

Memorial Day isn’t a day of celebration. Yes, it’s the unofficial start to summer, but it should be a day people remember those who died while in military service or from the effects of combat. Only a capitalist country like America would turn it into an event with massive sales. Years ago, we all gotContinue reading “Memorial Day Is For Remembering Not For Celebrating And Consumerism”

Gen Xers Are In Danger Of Turning Into The New Boomers

Irish statesman Edmund Burke is famous for the quote “Those who don’t learn from history are bound to repeat it.” Progressive Insurance has made a fortune on commercials mocking how Gen Xers are slowly turning into their parents, i.e. Boomers.

‘The Woman In Me’ Is Britney’s Reclamation Of Her Life

I never understood why so many people hated Britney Spears. It’s been about 25 years since I first saw her in her first hit “Baby One More Time.” She seemed like a sweet, talented young woman. But it didn’t take long for so many people to despise her. I’m not saying, they just didn’t likeContinue reading “‘The Woman In Me’ Is Britney’s Reclamation Of Her Life”

Harrison Butker’s Speech Is An Example Of Problems In America

By now, there’s been so much said about Harrison Butker’s speech at Benedictine College on May 11 that what else can be said. Well, one thing people really haven’t mentioned is that it emphasizes how athletics is more loved and appreciated than academics. Imagine the gall of someone who is just a kicker for aContinue reading “Harrison Butker’s Speech Is An Example Of Problems In America”

RIP Dabney Coleman

One of the earliest movies I remember seeing is 9 to 5, so I had known who Dabney Coleman was for a long time. His performance as the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot Frank Hart in the movie was so perfect. Coleman was able to balance the awful, cold-hearted sleaze with the sardonic, goofy, gullibleContinue reading “RIP Dabney Coleman”

‘Katt Williams: Woke Foke’ Moves At The Pace Of A Slow Poke

Earlier this year, comic-actor Katt Williams became a viral sensation when he spilled a lot of tea on a Club Shay Shay, a weekly podcast hosted by Shannon Sharpe. Williams went after other comics, Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer, with the rawness that comics like Bill Hicks, Sam Kinison, George Carlin and Richard PryorContinue reading “‘Katt Williams: Woke Foke’ Moves At The Pace Of A Slow Poke”
