An article published in the NYTimes earlier this month says that criminals choose the Yankee cap over most sports related apparel because of the ‘Jay-Z effect’ and the cool factor he brings to the item. Ha! The Yankees ownership does more crime on the daily robbing the Bronx residents of their resources than Jay-Z has in his entire life.
But the article made me think outside of the box…
If I could just get a placement on a rapist doing a perp walk I might could move the rest of these joints.
This is a look at some of the redesigns in the U.S. dollar that are part of a contest sponsored by an NYC graphic designer.
I don’t mind adding some color to the dollar. Colored people? Not so much. You see how that shit is working for Zimbabwe? How about a 65,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 % inflation rate?
Nah man, I don’t want any Black people on my dollar bills. Shit is already expensive enough to buy shit with a pocket full of big faced white folks. No way I’m gonna get my monies worth with some Duke Ellington dollars in my wallet. And what Black people would we put on our denominations? I love the irony of Malcolm X on a dollar, or the humor of Richard Pryor on a $20 (rolled up to snift yayze, natch).
Chances are we will have the same Black faces we see every February – MLK Jr. and George Washington Carver. Black people need some more heroes. My choices would be Turkey Leg Jenkins or Everett Bailey? This is America people, and if we are going to devalue our dollar bills any further then at least we should have some fun with it.
You know what shit would push white over the edge? Obaamabux.
The underwhelming sequel to ‘Iron Man’ will be available on DVD and Blu-Ray today. The further adventures of billionaire industrialist (read: weapons manufacturer) Tony Stark didn’t pack the punch of the first feature but strong supporting performances from Scarlett Johannson as Black Widow and Don Cheadle as War Machine warrant the views of fanboys in my honest opinion.
Coincidentally, Raytheon Corp., a real world industrial entity unveiled their next generation of military purposed technology. They call their design the Sarcos Exoskelton and they are less than a decade away from issuing the device into the theater of war. The exoskeltons main application will be the traversing of the Afghan mountain region for purposes of mining the mineral resources contained therein.
The design of any exoskeleton must take its inspiration from the ant. These animals have the ability to transport loads hundreds of times their own weight and like all of the species in the insect world their bodies are formed of an exoskeleton. Ants however are communal creatures for the most part whereas humans have evolved to the level where are actions are governed solely by capitalism.
I don’t know which I fret the most for our freedoms, the pilotless drone warship or the piloted mecha-soldier. I suppose they will both work in concert for a time, that is until SkyNet takes over. But by that time I’ll be dead anyhoo. So while I’m still alive and free to watch whatever movie I choose I’ll prA’li pick up a copy of ‘Iron Man 2’ from my local RedBox.
The chances this perp is rocking a pair of Nike is better odds than flipping a coin with the AirMax 95 coming in as the top shoe at British break-ins and burglaries.
The forensic cops are spotting the 95s distinctive footprint, but can you blame the criminals? I mean, the 95 has so many official colorways its difficult not to style on ’em hardbody while stealin’ nahmean?!?
