Sylvania Light Bulb Commercial
I am considering moving to some remote south east Asian nation, just so I can see commercials like this…

My Gossip Girl Rant
The above ads for the CW11’s Gossip Girl have created the latest controversy in TV land. Now when I speak of controversy, I am not referring to the raciness of the ads, nor the fact that they are for a “teen” drama, instead I am referring to the foolish parent watchdog groups that are all up in arms over these ads. Perhaps these ads have parents going crazy because the true nature of the show they allow their 13 year old girl watch is being shoved down their throat. Imagine parents knew what their children were watching on TV without the network putting right in front of them, more so then the fact that their kids are watching it in their OWN HOME! While these shows may have actors in their 20’s and 30’s portraying teen characters, these shows are not exactly for your kids. We aren’t talking about Saved By The Bell here people! These shows are coke and sex fueled raves with a little violence and statutory rape mixed in. So, you have two choices here, you can either accept the fact that your kid is out there drinking, getting high and having wild sex with everyone and anyone, or you can get involved in your child’s life and be a parent, which sometimes means saying NO to what your child wants! You’re their parent, not friend! Stop blaming television for what you allow your children to do!

Krink Mac Case
Killa Queens is taking over the world these days, thanks in no small part to Queens alum Craig Costello, aka KR, aka the KRINK-Master! Moving beyond his homemade drippy inks, those signature KRINK drips are everywhere these days. So, when Arkitip magazine and Incase wanted to partner up to create limited edition MacBook cases, under the Curated by Arkitip name, who better to have tweak your inaugural product then KR himself? The end product is as sweet as they come, and is available for both the 13″ and 15″ MacBook’s and bulkier MacBook Pro’s, for $79.95 a pop.
(I have a 15″ MacBook Pro if anyone wants to send me a case.)
See the detailed images after the jump.

Nipple Slip Not To Cost CBS $550K
Remember when the world was in an uproar because it saw Janet Jackson’s nipple, during the 2004 Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction”? While parents did not have a problem allowing their children to watch a Super Bowl chuck-full-o commercials using sex to sell their products, alcohol commercials, or the fact that their tweens were singing along at home with their idol Justin Timberlake, as he thrust around singing “have you naked by the end of this song”, the site of an areola got the guys at the FCC in an uproar. So much so, they decided to just arbitrarily make up a fine to enforce their power on CBS. The fine was a record breaking $550,000! Serving those free spirited hippies at CBS their just desserts, all was right with the world. That was until CBS took the matter to court and it was ruled that despite the example set buy the President and his administration, the FCC can not just change their rules at whim. If only all of the U.S. would follow Floriduh’s lead, where no nipples can be shown, male or female, no wait I meant where everyday is like this.

Paige Wood x Warped Tour
The Warped Tour, featuring the incomparable Paige Wood, is coming to Nassau Coliseum, this Saturday, July 26th. By now you should know that Paige is a dear friend of mine and needs everyone to head out to the show and give her your support! Even if you don’t get to be blessed and know her personally, you are going to want to know her music and see her before she blows up. When this time next year rolls around you will be able to say you were rocking out to Ms. Wood before all your hipster, “too cool” friends even knew who she was!
Paige, I’ll see you on Saturday!
AS for the rest of you, get your tickets now!

AUGOR x REVOK x Dark Knight; The Video
With the Dark Knight opening today, I thought what better way to show my excitement for the film then by showing the video lapse of, no not the movie or trailer, but of AUGOR x REVOK painting a Dark Knight billboard in LA. Don’t be confused by the first part of the video as it is LA’s dynamic duo causing some good old wreck, building up suspense to the classic billboard.
