Sexual assaults in America are on the rise for a bevy of reasons. One of them has to be the advertising of sex in all sorts of consumer products. No one is more notorious right now then the marketers of American Apparel.
After the Random Axe show several members of the Combat Jack Show walked past an American Apparel store and felt compelled to talk about the displays and their overarching themes. Yeah, I think we were drunk too.
Reggie Watts will be holding down the CityParks SummerStage in Red Hook tomorrow. Out of body comedy at its best for free in Brooklyn. The show starts at 7pm.
First off, let’s all agree that the internets was created mainly for nerds and conspiracy theorists alike. I mean, who else can take so much shit out of context as these two groups? I love the idea that the shadow government is using weather satellites around the globe to stir shit up.
Every earthquake, tornado, flood, volcano and hailstorm from this point forward will be blamed on the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program aka H.A.A.R.P. It does crazy shit with the ionosphere and is now even being blamed for the shift in the shift in the Earth’s poles. Kind of like a shift in the old Earth’s uterus, as it were.
Networked satellites zapping the upper atmosphere with radar waves I am loving the plotline as if it were coming straight from a Tom Clancy novel or a Marvel comicbook. Instead of S.H.I.E.L.D., H.Y.D.R.A. or Cobra putting this nefarious plan into effect it’s the U.S. government’s own agency D.A.R.P.A. or the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Government offices like this are what the alphabet was created for.
The best thing about conspiracy theories is that they are more than likely true if there is some money to be made in them being accurate. Like, if you could ruin a country’s cash crop with bad weather and force them to buy your agricultural goods why wouldn’t you take advantage. All’s fair in love and capitalism, and just like with love, good capitalism means never having to say you’re sorry.
I’m pulling out all the books, or rather graphic novels that I have received via snail mailed from my friends. I love trading stuff to people via snail mail. My homegirl Digital Femme received an Adult Swim sweatshirt from me and in return she issued me the above book illustrated by comic book artist Randy DuBurke.
The autobiography of Malcolm X as told to Alex Haley might be the most important book I have ever read next to Shel Silverstein’s ‘The Giving Tree’ and Anthony Burgess’ ‘A Clockwork Orange’. I think this graphic novel will bring a new audience to the story of Malcolm X, who was the last great Black superhero. It’s fitting that Malcolm’s life was adapted into a graphic novel by artist Randy DuBurke because he has a history of illustrating the heroes we are familiar with under the DC Comics banner.
DuBurke’s minimalist style reminds me of Bill Sienkewicz and his drawings which are quite trippy and impressionistic. DuBurke underlays archival photographs so that his embellishment gives a realistic appearance. This graphic novel isn’t meant to look like a comic book even tho’ it is laid out like one panelwise. Malcolm X’s story is that real and I love looking at DuBurke’s treatment of this everlasting African American king.

What exactly did Tracy Morgan say for the Velvet Mafia to come after him so hard? [ll] of course to the gheys coming after him while hard.
You know a Black dude has money when he can be accused of being homophobic. Back when Tracy Morgan was still trying to eke out a career from the comedy clubs on 125th Street and his entourage was mostly faggots we never heard a peep from him.
I still don’t see why the gheys should be mad with him? Tracy Morgan shaves his moustache and keeps his hair cropped short so that ladywigs fit nicely on his skull. Tracy dresses up like a lady even more than Tyler Perry. This man’s part-time job might be putting baby powder on Lorne Michaels nuttsachs.
