The Gods Must Be Crazy…

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

On a quasi-related note to the Marvel Studios takeover was the controversy generated when it was revealed that Idris Elba was cast in the movie as a Norse god. I wonder why couldn’t there be an African presence in this mythology since the Phoenicians were some of the world’s greatest sailors and certainly had made contact with Scandinavians and other northern Europeans? Anyhoo, white was upset to say the least. First Obama, then this…

Combat Jack showed me an early iteration of the cover with the headline ‘Idris Elba: The Black Man Is God’. I loved that headline but Combat Jack informed me that if The Source were to run that cover it might also be their last issue since advertisers would get the fux outta Dodge. Still and all the cover is pretty powerful, especially considering that Elba’s role in the film was just that of a cosmic doorman.

Yacht Club Lifestyle…

As I’ve told you a thousand times, Polo Ralph Lauren is built around the aspiration for wealth that Ralph Lifschitz internalized as a child growing up to working class parents in the Bronx. Polo has taken on a life and legend of it’s own and that legend continues to grow as the brand attaches itself to the benchmarks of high society.

There is no organized sport older than the regatta and the oldest trophy in the sport of sailing belongs to the America’s Cup race. Sailors and seamen [ll] from all over the world compete for the prized chalice aboard multi-million dollar yachts. If you thought taking care of a stable of polo ponies was expensive then you ain’t built for the America’s Cup.

To pay his respect to this classic gentleman’s sport Polo Ralph Lauren is releasing a series of knits that will set the summer off right.

I’m trying to choose which one(s) will find their way into my archive.

I also just peeped this red/blue colorblocked regatta knit. FIYAHVERKS!!!

Ralph Lauren jacked my patch swag but I ain’t mad.

If you ever have a good idea make sure you have another one.

Kiss Of Death To Mets’ Season…

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

Fred Wilpon, the owner of the New York Mets went on a tirade with a reporter and threw some of his teams better players under the bus. The funny thing is that most Mets fans will agree with his assessment of his team and the players in question.

I been knew David Wright wasn’t THE dude. I been knew Jose Reyes wasn’t THE kid. I been knew that Carlos Beltran wasn’t THE man. What I didn’t know was that the Mets were so deep in their pockets to Bernie Madoff that his ponzi scheme collapse would cripple this team worse than if Isiah Thomas had been the general manager.

The Mets took $5.9million due to Bobby Bonilla in 1999 and stretched it into 25 annual $1million payments. WTF?!? Oh I get it. The interest and returns on that $5.5 was going to pay for the Bonilla annuity payment. Bernie Madoff literally made the fux off. Wilpon has taken an emergency loan from MLB to cover some of his operating costs but the clock is ticking on his line of credit.

Looks like the Mets will be under new off field management before the season ends.

Schwarze Negger = Black Plowman…

Do you remember in 2008 when Arnold Schwarzenegger was criticized for referring to a Latina legislator in California as hot-blooded?

Dude knew how spanish chicks got down because he already had a latin baby momma even before he took his seat in the Golden State governor’s mansion. Schwarzenegger was apparently taking the ‘plowman’ part of his surname to heart.

If you love schadenfreude as much as me you will love to see all the Republican lawmakers crawl out from their fox(news)holes throw Arnold under the political bus. Just a few short years ago he was a political darling in the Republican party. There were even some movements afoot to put him in the direction of the White House.

As long as Republican’s push a moral agenda alongside their xenophobia they will be losers because for the most part they are all philandering, homosexual criminals.
