The Internet’s Latest Phenomenon: Bubbling!

alec — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:03:37 +0000

You’ve gotta love the internet Volume 36789. The latest trend in online religious whanking has been deemed “bubbling,” where bubbles are applied to non-risque photos to simulate some naughty Mormon smut. Eh. It’s like a carbonated masturbation release…and everyone knows that leads to blue balls bubbles.

Maybe this should just be called a response video to that stupid fuckin’ tampon commerical. Regardless, this song is a winner on every level.

Tampon…Tampoff

alec — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 16:57:44 +0000

Recently I took Apple to task for their stupid fuckin’ commercial. You know the one. Just when you thought it was safe to turn your television set back on, Kotex has gone and put period humor at the forefront of primetime programing. I’ll give you a moment to catch up.

Whoever came up with this bloody mess (pardon me) needs to be shot and hung by a tampon string. It’s not clever. It’s not funny. It’s basically a Margaret Cho act minus quips about the size of a man’s junk. Imagine walking into Don Draper’s office with the “Margaret Cho Campaign,” he’d have no choice but to beat you in the kidney’s for wasting valuable scotch drinking time.

If a stranger ever asked me to buy her a life jacket because it was shark week in her pantaloons I’d have no choice but to make her real uncomfortable about it. Something along the lines of, so how heavy is your flow?

Mad Men x Rolling Stone

For the latest issue of Rolling Stone, photographer James Minchin III had free range of the Mad Men set to get some intimate snapshots of the 1960’s inspired television juggernaut. No word on whether he cracked the mystery of Christina Hendrick’s cone shaped mounds.

The Mulholland Drive Dilemma

alec — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:21:23 +0000

As I near my two year anniversary of living in the land of sun, surf, botox and three-legged street walkers, it’s definitely time for a moment of reflection. This is nothing new as evidenced by my bitching about this, this and this when it comes to Los Angeles. Well Daddy has a little to get off his chest, and not surprisingly it has to do with (drum roll please) TRAFFIC!

Los Angeles traffic is not some myth planted in fat Midwestern farmer’s psyches to ensure that there are no Jed Clampett delusions of grandeur. It is very much a real and disgusting phenomenon much like Zubaz pants and slap bracelets.

In Los Angeles, Mulholland Drive is the pushup bra of intersections: terribly disappointing. To borrow another analogy, during rush hour, German cars prey upon clunky and cheap Japanese cars like it’s the Serengeti. Shouldn’t these folks know that I CONTROL THE POWER. Me. Not them. I’m the one in the piece of shit car that I’m willing to use like a battering ram busting open the draw bridge in preparation for some major raping and pillaging.

People who drive nice cars should be the ones treating their cars like virginal parts, but instead they zip around, weaving in and out of traffic like they’re riding in a Jed Clampett clown car. These small pecker-having scofflaws need to be stopped!

* why can’t Mulholland Drive be more like Mulholland Drive. Nothing like some Lesbian kissing to ease traffic angst.

Close but No Cigar

alec — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 21:36:49 +0000

A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I’m a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald… striking. So, I’m on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say, “Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.” And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.” So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.
