About a year ago, I remember watching one of the prime time news shows and hearing about this new study on abstinence programs, like the ones where the kids wear "promise rings" that mean that they won't have sex until marriage. Well, the survey concluded that, at the end of the day, the programs were completely useless. I found an article about it here. At the end of the day, kids involved in such programs popped their cherries at the same age as the kids who didn't. They also have just as high, and in some cases higher, rate of unwanted pregnancies and STI's. The government wastes $176 million annually on such programs. Coupled with another study that said that 1 in every 4 high school girls has an STI, you have to ask where we fucked up.
At the end of the day, kids are going to have sex, regardless of whatever kinds of things grown ups shove down their throats. So it would be much more useful to educate them on safe sex, birth control, and contraceptives for their own benefit and well being. If a kid doesn't know how to properly use a condom, then you can't blame them when they come home with a kid of their own. You can, however, blame yourself for sticking your fingers in your ears and pretending like teenage sex doesn't happen. You could also ignore grizzly bears and hangnails, but that won't make them go away. Education is the key, not ignorance.
Oh yeah, baba booey baba booey.

Abstinence programs don't work - preach safe sex, not no sex.
Solar Power could save us - why the fuck aren't we doing anything about this!!!
According to Digital Journal, and a lot of other people, including this guy I saw on Bill Maher, if we utilized the solar power that could be generated from 6 hot spots on our planet, we could power the entire Earth and then some. This would decrease our dependency on fossil fuels, decrease global warming, lower oil prices, and other good things. Why countries like the US aren't investing in these types of resources is ridiculous, choosing instead to waste money on the war. Seriously sometimes I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Christian group runs out of things to compian about, calls new Starbucks slutty.
According to The BBC, some Christian group called The Resistance is calling a new Starbucks logo "slutty." I mean seriously, if this is the first place your mind goes with this, you need to have yourself checked out. I'm sure there are more pertinent issues at hand, like the president completely ignoring the environment and using tons of money fighting the war instead of saving the planet. But fuck it, let's just go kill some brown people and cover David's private parts too, how's that grab ya? Ridiculous. Plus, there's like, a billion other reasons to call out Starbucks.

new Weezer video - "Pork and Beans"
It's basically a compilation of a bunch of parodies/reenactments of various famous web clips and Internet superstars. Playing drums with lightsabers = the coolest thing ever. Period.

Iron Man sucked.
Like, really really bad. Not Ghost Rider bad, but still, kinda cheesy. Terrence Howard and Downey Jr. were good, but still, just an all around shit storm of a movie.
100th post = did you see Kobe last night?
Now, I'm not one to gloat, nor would I say that only a certain ilk root for that team in San Antonio, but Kobe is officially the shit. After vacationing in the Bermuda during the first half, in which he had 2 points from a total of 3 shots, the ghosts arrived and lit a fire up his ass. The Lakers summoned the spirits to come back from a 20, yes, twenty, point deficit in the 3rd quarter and win the game.
San Antonio was going to let Kobe have his shots. According to their strategy, they were going to let him score his 35 points and still win by playing their god-awfully slow game. But Mr. 1 Better Than Jordan (24) himself recognized this and refused to play in accordance with their game plan. Then, like going full force ahead and then flanking from both sides, a favorite move of General Patton himself, Bryant went off and that team from Central Texas got knocked off their heels and onto their asses. They never saw it coming.
Say what you will, but so will I. You can't stop what's coming.
Lakers in '08.

Michael from "The Wire" is on the new 90210???? WTF!!!??
So, how does it feel to go from a predominately black show, to, well, 90210???
quit the bullshit talk about 2012 already
Refutation
In this age we are approaching the same count again, only there is a common misconception of the Maya's practice of abbreviating their dates to five vigesimal places. According to the Maya there will be a baktun ending in 2012, a significant event being the end of the 13th 394 year period, but not the end of the world.[10]
[edit] Inscriptions beyond 2012
Maya stelae occasionally show dates beyond 2012. Most of these are in the form of "distance dates", where a Long Count date is given with a distance date to be added. For example, on the Tablet of Inscriptions from Palenque the following Long Count date was found: 9.8.9.13.0 8 Ahau 13 Pop (24 March 603 Gregorian) with a distance date of 10.11.10.5.8. The resulting date is given as 1.0.0.0.0.8 5 Lamat 1 Mol,[11] or 21 October 4772 – almost 3,000 years into the future. The king Pacal of Palenque predicted that on this date the eightieth Calendar Round anniversary of his accession will be celebrated, suggesting he did not believe the world would end in 2012.[12]
[edit] Summary
Despite the publicity generated by the 2012 date, Susan Milbrath, curator of Latin American Art and Archaeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History, stated that "We [the archaeological community] have no record or knowledge that [the Maya] would think the world would come to an end" in 2012.[13]
"For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. in Crystal River, Florida. To render December 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."[14]

new VH1 doc "Sex The Revolution"
The Defamer has a really great article about Sex: The Revolution,which is VH1's new doc on sex. It's by the same people who did The Drug Years, which was super awesome, and out of the hundreds of hours of TV I recorded, is one of the only ones I actually burned on DVD and still have. I haven't gotten to watch this new doc yet, but DVR-ed it all and will eventually.
new N*E*R*D video - "Everyone Nose"
I guess cocaine is cool again. Too bad I don't dig chicks that look like this:
But I digress. This video is like the hipster version of "Big Pimpin'." Which is an awesome thing.
first pic of the cast for the new 90210 show.
Man whatever. This shit is hype as fuck. But they're still really white.

Lohan's always got the freshest kicks.
See those kicks? Them shits wasn't even out yet. 
Now, before I'm burned at the stake, let's make one thing clear: Lindsey's always got the freshest gear. Sure, you may call here washed up celebrity waste, a one hit wonder who shouldn't be allowed near a movie set, or a train wreck, and yeah, you might be right, but I can't help it. Something about seeing a girl in dope sneakers and tight jeans gets my V8 goin, naw what I'm sayin? Game recognize game, girl. *)
lay it up...
...and finish.
Here, we see Barack Obama accomplishing something LeBrick James couldn't which is actually execute a lay-up. Fundamentals people, fundamentals.
Now, who can't wait to have this guy in the Oval Office? Come on, rockin' some retro Jordan 4's, playin pick up games with Vice President Edwards (or Jay-Z), telling Secret Service to "Shut the fuck up tie them laces." Why can't wars be settled in a game of 21?
And with their first round pick, the Los Angeles Lakers select...the motherfuckin president, bitches.
first pic of Josh Brolin as George W.
The Defamer has pics from EW of Josh Brolin made up and dressed as George W. Brolin will be playing W. in Oliver Stone's forthcoming biopic on the r-tard, which Stone hopes to have out by election time.
Now, I think it looks pretty accurate. Sure, there's plenty of look-alikes out there who resemble the President more, but they can't act worth a shit. Brolin, on the other hand, seems to have the swagger down. I'm really interested to see how this thing's going to turn out. Will Stone just go on bashing him for 120 minutes? Seems a little easy, and even people that hate the guy won't see it because they want nothing to do with him. I mean, if we've already lived through the horror, why pay $9 to relive it again?

It's pretty much over (according to the Drudge Report and Time Russert)
So, according to Tim Russert and The Drudge Report (it's all over their front page, check it out), the race for the Democratic nomination is all but over.
There are many factors that play into why this came to be, but basically the math is not in Hillary's favor and it's hard for her to plead her case to the superdelegates when it's growing weaker by the day. She hasn't dropped out yet, and might not, considering "quit" doesn't seem to exist in the Clinton lexicon, but perhaps pressure from Dems to save the party might collapse her campaign. Al Gore even came out and said he might endorse a candidate (Obama), and plenty of big name Dems are looking to Obama as their guy. Check out the NY TImes article.
John Mayer and Judd Apatow team up for legendary video on Funny or Die!!!!
OMG this shit is hilarious!!! It also has cameos from Kristen Bell, the Idian Guy from 40 Year Old Virgin, the black guy from Curb your Enthusiasm, and the kid with the glasses from Freaks and Geeks (you wouldn't know their real names).
Let me take this time the comment on something people probably don't know: John Mayer has tons of street cred. More than Nelly, Soulja Boy, and Weezy combined. Fuck what you heard, he's the shit. In addition to this video, he also did a parody of "2 Girls One Cup," collaborated with Kanye West and Alicia Keys, appeared on Chappelle's Show, writes a hilarious blog, does stand up comedy, and is constantly spotted rocking dope street wear like BAPE and Visvism. So yeah, he's a pretty cool guy.
new trailer for "The Rocker"
Yahoo has a new trailer for the film The Rocker here.
The movie comes out August 1st, and should be funny. It stars Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office), Will Arnett, and Jeff Garland.
Jonah Hill is very very smart.
According to Cinematical, Jonah Hill has dropped out of negotiations and will not star in Transformers 2. And peace and order were restored to the galaxy.
I, like a lot of Jonah fans, hated this move for a few reasons. For one, Transformers was one of the most overindulgent, plot-holed, expensive-looking turds ever to tumble out of the anus that is Michael Bay. Therefore, the sequel could only end up being that much more dazzingly god-awful.
Also, it's a kid's movie, so Jonah Hill obviously couldn't do a lot of the same jokes he's notorious for, therefore rendering him helpless and crippled like a baby deer. So good for Jonah.

it's a celebration bitches!!!
Kobe Bean Bryant has officially been named MVP, and holy shit I think every internal organ in my body has exploded!!!
I've been sitting on this for a while but decided not to blog about it until it was official official. I'll never forget where I was when I heard the news: me and my brothers were just getting in the car after the Kanye concert (which was balls to the wall the shit, N*E*R*D blew the fuckin doors off that thing) and my brother returned a missed call from my mom and she told us. Pure euphoria. I'll never forget the phosphorescent glow that emitted from my shiny little heart.
The Lakers are holding a press conference tomorrow, and he's getting the award before the game Wednesday. It's been over a decade and now my dream has come true. The GOAT!!!!

Look at what Kanye posted about the Houston show lol.
05.04.2008
Don't believe the hype! When I started the show the other night we were having a lot of technical issues due 2 the heat. The 2 huge screens on both sides of the stage were glaring bright blue like when your DVD player acts up at home. I asked for them 2 turn the screens off 3 times because it was distracting 2 the show. The fans were not getting what they paid for. I admit, in my frustration, I did use profanity on the 4th time I asked. I stopped the show 2 go over and check it out myself. After the screens were turned off I started the same song from the beginning. The screens were eventually fixed 5 songs in but it was definitely better 2 have them blacked out rather than bright blue. Unfortunately for certain media outlets, you will never be able 2 'Michael Jackson' me. That means 2 make it seem like everything I do is so weird or out of place... they always try 2 make it seem like everything is about my ego! That joke is getting old. At a certain point you have 2 respect that I'm one of the last artist that still cares about the fans having the best time of there lives! Thanks 2 Bossip and Perez for taking it easy on me on the EW spaz... I did go in a little 2 much on that one. I'm sure there are some cool people who work over there and had nothing 2 do with that review. With all that said.... "I'm still the greatest!!!" lol!! Oh and I was in the studio with T.I. last night.... so get ready!!!

new Justice video - "Stress"
This video is extremely violent and sure to cause contraversy, yet in a very cinematic way. It's "La Haine" meets "City of God" meets "The Warriors," which is pretty much the illest combo ever.
