Boondocks Episodes PULLED because of BET?

If you haven't been keeping up with this season of the Boondocks then you better start torrenting that shit because it ended kind of abruptly (and check out last weeks episode, "The Story of Gangstalicious) on adultswim.com). Adult Swim has decided not to air two episodes which apparently bitchslap BET.
From newsarama.com:
The reason for this is two of the planned episodes, “The Huey Freeman Hunger Strike” and “The Ruckus Reality Show” have been pulled. The episodes take savage strikes at not only favorite target BET, but also two of its key executives, Debra Lee and former Boondocks producer Reggie Hudlin. In “Hunger Strike,” Lee is made to look a lot like Dr. Evil from Mike Myers Austin Powers films while “Wedgie Rutland” is depicted as a total toadying nerd. “Hunger Strike” takes even broader strokes at the Black Entertainment Television, implying its true goal is to destroy and/or diminish African-American culture, exemplifying what Chuck D’s statement that the networks letters really stand for the “booty ‘en thugs” network. “Ruckus” takes matters even further, working off the premise that the black-hating Uncle Ruckus is given his own show on BET. Yup, they pulled what probably would have been one of the most fucked up but hysterically funny eps, "The Ruckus Reality Show," because BET can't take a joke and Bob Johnson just realized he fucked up in South Carolina for the Clinton campaign when he went below the belt on Barak Obama.
Adult Swim has confirmed that “The episodes are not scheduled to air on Adult Swim. Beyond that, we really don’t have any further comment.” Now the question is will they be released on the upcoming season 2 dvd? Oh and here is a clip from "The Hunger Strike" that hasn't been pulled down yet.

The Saint Semen Appreciation Post: Part Deux

My brother is sick right now. That makes me sad. He should be out in South Beach wrecking VIP rooms and random dudes. Brother, I hope you feel better soon and until that time dig on some Turbonegro. If you are offended, I'm sorry. But seeing Euroboy hump some guys neck, decked out in denim, is at the level of coolness only you can claim.

About the Super Bowl

Well, I remember Alicia Keys owning the pre-game show (except for those pants. The chick in that Motorhead video was rocking those!) and other tidbits but the real reason it all seems a blur is because of Absinthe. Yup, I, in an inspired moment of genius, decided to watch the Super Bowl while chasing the green fairy and figured something awesome might come out of it. Didn't work out that way.
I took a few shots, went from zero to SHITFACED in under 60 seconds and decided around halftime I should get home. I had the Big Bitch load me into the car with Mick following (you guys are awesome) as they got me home safely.
Once inside, I dropped on the couch and passed out around the end of the game. When I awoke, I took a few more shots while jamming out to the Rentals and then pinballed (hey, straight edge kids, learn some drunk slang! Pinballing is when you are so bombed out of your mind you stumble into walls back and forth...like a real life pinball game) myself into bed. I felt a pain in Target earlier when I was shopping with my mom (yes, I told her about the Absinthe, she wasn't thrilled but when I explained my intended literary endeavor she was a little less upset that she forced me from her gash), lifted up my shirt to expose my ribs and BAM, a couple of huge fucking bruises. By the time I laid my weary head to rest, it felt like it was about to explode ala Scanners.
So, my big experiment in Gonzo sports coverage was a terrific failure. No more Absinthe for me unless I KNOW I'm gonna see lizards fucking in the lounge.

And Jeebus Smiled Upon Us

Yeah, this came out a couple of months ago but the blog wasn't going then. So fuck you if you're gonna scream, "This is so five minutes ago" (do the kids still even use that slang?).
Here are the Pipettes, once again proving why they are the best pop group on the planet.
Oh, for you obtuse people out there, this song is about just wanting to fuck someone for a night. Bitchin'.

You Can't Please the Queen

The Second in Command at my job really gets off on the arbitrary exorcise of authority. I can understand. If my job was the only place I felt I had control in my life and could take out my frustrations, yeah, I'd dig on it. But, I'm just not that fucked up of a person (yet).
So, the other day, I see there is a gay and lesbian literature end cap (right next to the religion section, which I think is rad) but there is a gap in the fixture. I hit the mic, ask him what he wants me to fill it with and the lispy response, "Something gay or lesbian" pulses through my right ear.
I pick up a Rimbaud book and fill the gap only to hear, "Why did you put THAT on the end cap?"
I calmly responded, "Well, Rimbaud was gay. Oh and he has way more significant than the Dorm Porn trilogy you put up, ya know, since he inspired the Beats and Patti Smith and Lou Reed which started the last true rock n roll revolution."
He didn't respond. And this is probably why I'm full time and get 24 hours this week. Now, if he knew the singer for Pansy Division hit on me in front of Saint Semen, he might shut the fuck up and recognize my awesomeness.

Bill Cosby Set to Rock the Mic

My mind is racing with the awesome possibilites of this project. From Allhiphop.com:
Bill Cosby - a staunch critic of some rap music - is set to release a Hip-Hop album called State of Emergency, which will be a sanitized, issue-oriented CD.
Sources told AllHipHop.com that the actor, comedian and philanthropist will address issues like proper parenting, teen pregnancy, drug abuse, Black-on-Black crime and the dropout rate in America's high schools.
In 2004, Cosby said in a speech, "Your dirty laundry gets out of school at 2:30 every day, it's cursing and calling each other [the N-word] as they're walking up and down the street. They think they're hip. They can't read. They can't write. They're laughing and giggling, and they're going nowhere."
Cosby's album will not contain any profane language, nor will it offer any denigrating comments towards women.
Whether or not Cosby will work with rappers on his lyrical flow or his musical selection was not known at press time.
Look, I'm against most of the garbage called hip hop these days but I have a feeling Lupe Fiasco will do far more good than Bill Cosby. I have a feeling it's gonna sound something like this.

Oh, Shit! We Just Went Passed 100!

I spaced. Sorry, but I go off. To celebrate. Here is a video of the coolest group out right now...THE LEN PRICE 3!
