It makes me wonder about the evolution of something like this.  Did he set out to write a profane ad…or did he slowly spiral into a cycle of cynicism and rage?  The “engineering study” material is golden.

This is cash.  We love the Super Bowl so much that we…eat…EVERYTHING!!!

7-Eleven stores say their antacids sales increase by 20 percent the day after Super Bowl. 

Six percent of all working Americans will also call in sick the next day.

15 tons of potato chips…15…tons.

Most importantly, on Super Bowl Sunday, Americans drain an estimated 10.5 million barrels of beer, roughly 17 times the nation’s average daily consumption.

…and it’s a school night.

Mix in these filthy beasts:

…and you’ve got all-out hedonism. 

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

I was trying to find the video of Bobby Knight slapping his player for another Trumpet Blast when I came across this piece of work below. Soulja Boy Tell Em (Crank Dat Soulja Boy) has a song called “Pimp Slap Dat Hoe” and some kid, possibly a teenager, decided to make a mini music video for it.

In it you will see the kid pimp slapping a multitude of teddy bears standing in as hoes. You will also see someone lip-syncing worse than Rob & Fab, you will see a kid afraid to say the N-word, you will see a kid fully clothed in a bathtub, multiple camera angles that expose awful ceiling tiles and wood paneling, and some sort of making it rain with money that is not recognizable.

Enjoy this mess.

Coach Bobby Knight abruptly retired from coaching men’s NCAA basketball at Texas Tech University tonight. He is the winningest coach of al time with 902 wins at Texas Tech, Army, and Indiana University. He and Dean Smith, the man he passed to become #1 all time, are the only two men to win a college championship as a player and as a coach. Knight was a player for the Buckeyes at Ohio State. In addition to 3 Hoosier national championships he won as head coach at Indiana, he also coached team U.S.A. to gold medals at the Olympics and Pan-Am Games.

Knight has always been known for his temper and his antics on the court. Many players, parents, and University Personnel grew tired of them, ultimately ending his legendary run at Indiana. He may be just as famous for his championships as he is for throwing a chair across the court at a game against Purdue, slapping one of his own players during a game, or even choking then Indiana guard Neil Reed at a practice.

To read more on the retirement, check out the Rivals.com article.

Democratic Illinois Senator Barack Obama delivered a speech in New Hampshire at the site of the presidential primary on January 8, 2008 that inspired will.i.am of the rap group Black Eyed Peas to create a song called “Yes We Can”. In a matter of 2 days will.i.am was able to gather up around forty celebrities to help him record the song and shoot the video. It is making rounds on the internet just in time for “Super Tuesday” tomorrow.

Among those that helped will.i.am were Jesse Dylan, Common, Scarlett Johansson, Herbie Hancock, Tatyana Ali, Nick Cannon, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, John Legend, Kate Walsh, Aisha Tyler, Amber Valletta, Taryn Manning, Nicole Scherzinger, Adam Rodriguez, Alfonso Ribeiro, Austin Nichols, Ed Kowalczyk, Eric Balfour, Esthero, Harold Perrineau, Johnathon Schaech, Kelly Hu, Maya Rubin, and Tracee Ellis Ross.

The New Hampshire concession speech to Hillary Clinton has been getting major press and has been thrown about as the modern brother to the famous “I have a dream” speech by Martin Luther King Jr. In his blog, will.i.am made comparisons of Obama to King, Abraham Lincoln, and John F. Kennedy. Many people share the same sentiments and are pulling for the man running a campaign called “Change” simply on the hope that he offers and not on his politics.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we’ve been told that we’re not ready, or that we shouldn’t try, or that we can’t, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people.

Yes we can.

The video for “Yes We Can” has been seen already by more than 11 million viewers via YouTube.com and at the official site for the song YesWeCanSong.com.

Last night we played GUNSLINGERJAMES and his guys. He was not thrilled about a fresh-out-the-box asswhoopin’ he received from my crew. In the postgame lobby, GUNSLINGERJAMES spewed forth a barrage of semi-unintelligible swear words that would surely offend his mama. What would she think?

“Jesus, Mary and Joseph!” she would say.

Anyway, back to GUNSLINGERJIMMY. During his spew, I said, “Hey, that sounds like a rap. I’ll beatbox.” 3 seconds into my beatboxing and GUNSLINGERJIMMY’s voice raises three octaves–pretty close to MACHINE 666’s pitch–and he spews even faster. Then we got booted from the postgame lobby.
Well, I was feeling feisty, so I sent JIMMY a message offering to beatbox for him some more.

Here was his response (earmuffs if you are faint of heart–there are death threats in this audio recording):

Doesn’t the Halo theme music in the background add a nice touch? I also like his command, “Don’t rap.”

Undaunted by JIMMY’s idle threats of raping me and killing my family, I pressed on in the name of charity, sending JIMMY some of my best beatbox material. His reply to that was this:

Priceless. I really hope that he and I can form a rap group. I think his rhymes and my beats could really go far. I just don’t think I want him on my Halo 3 team, because he’s just not that good.

Given that JIMMY is more a puppy and less the bigdog that he thinks he is, I think his voice should sound more like this:

-Agent Spanky

How could David Tyree pin the football to his dome in the Superbowl?

Granted, I only watched a few minutes of the damn game. I had better things to do. I can’t ever remember the damn game the year before, so I might as well skip what I’m going to forget more quickly than a stoner does with a pizza in the oven.

But I did manage to see what will surely be hailed as one of the greatest catches in the game, one that brought down the Patriots and ruined their “perfect season.” Waaaah.

I really think that helmet should be tested for sticky substances. Maybe Tyree rubbed some ol’ pine tar on the dome? Maybe some nacho cheese? HMMMMMM? I demand an investigation, damnit

.

Notice the convenient location of the sticky nacho cheese on Tyree’s helmet, which is pictured above.

All in all I don’t have any business blogging about pro football, since I don’t really follow it. Then again, I’m not really sure that I have any business babbling about anything but possible scenarios involving meth-fueled satanic Teletubbies that go on a shotgun spree in a VW bus while listening to Sepultura.
