PHILADELPHIA INDULGENCE

March 29, 2012 7:00 AM by Leave a Comment Filed Under: Random Tagged With:

The good folks over at Kraft who created my favorite cream cheese ever, the Philadelphia brand (which I’ve used practically all my life), have come up with an amazing new chocolate blended spread called PHILADELPHIA INDULGENCE! It’s now available in three varieties: milk chocolate, white chocolate and dark chocolate! I picked up a tub of the dark chocolate last week and I knew exactly what I was going to use it in combination with … pretzel sticks, one of my favorite things to munch on practically anytime of the day! I’ve always loved eating things sweet and salty, and this was seriously the perfect pairing plus it was such a easy snack to whip up with basically no preparation time at all!

If you don’t have any pretzels on hand you could always dip strawberries right into the tub, another tasty combination that’s perfect for when you need a heavenly little snack plus a dose of fresh fruit never hurts. It was raining this past weekend here in Los Angeles, I curled up on the couch with a bowl of strawberries and the dark chocolate spread, it was truly the perfect way to unwind while I caught up on the third movie in the Twilight series! Everyone can use a little ‘indulgence’ now and then, so I would for sure recommend checking out this new chocolate spread when you’re at the grocery store next time, you definitely won’t be sorry, it’s totally time to treat yourself.

Stop SOPA / PIPA

January 18, 2012 12:40 PM by Leave a Comment Filed Under: Random Tagged With: ,

All right everyone, we’re taking a little break from the usual round of jokes about how celebrities are awful to focus on something serious here: you may have heard of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IPs Act (PIPA) that are coming up for consideration right now. Both of these bills are meant to stop piracy of music and movies, which is admittedly a serious issue. They’re just going about it in the worst way ever. Here’s the thing: every day, we wake up, pour ourselves a fresh cup of kickass, give last night’s trick cab fare so he can get home, then we get to work finding stories, linking them, quoting them, then offering a couple dick jokes here and there.

Nothing wrong with that, right? Here’s the thing: SOPA and PIPA are kind of an over-reactive bunch. If we were to link and quote something that came up for copyright issues, this site, and other sites much like this one, could be shut down without due process. Starting to see where the bullshit in all of this comes in? I mean for shit’s sake, it’s not like we’re stealing money from people and then rolling around in our untold billions; we’re just a bunch of gay guys who like making fun of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian because we think they’re the worst. Here’s a quote from USA Today to clarify all this:

Among the websites that have gone dark to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA): Wikipedia, Reddit, BoingBoing, WordPress, MoveOn.org and Mozilla, creators of the Firefox Web browser.

Both bills would allow the government to shut down websites that sell pirated goods or violate copyrights. Opponents of the bills — including sites staging temporary blackouts — believe they will stifle both innovation and free speech on the Internet.

“These bills wouldn’t get rid of pirate sites,” says David Drummond, Google’s chief legal officer in a post on the company’s official blog. “Pirate sites would just change their addresses in order to continue their criminal activities. There are better ways to address piracy than to ask U.S. companies to censor the Internet. “

Now, who do you think knows more about the Internet here: a bunch of dipshit politicians who think the web is a series of tubes, or the company that can find anything and everything on the web in less time that it takes to to piss? At this point, it’s like they’re trying to get rid of a hangnail by sawing off their arm. You can’t impose upon the free speech of others just because you want a false sense of security.

Call your representatives and ask them not to pass SOPA or PIPA.

We now return to your regularly scheduled jokes about how Paris’ vagina is a great white shark.

The Edgar Allen Poe House could be closing!

October 26, 2011 9:50 PM by Leave a Comment Filed Under: Random Tagged With:

The Edgar Allen Poe House and Museum is sadly on the brink of closure. The infamous Baltimore landmark is far from self-sufficient, thus its losing more money than it’s making. The outlook is quite bleak, if finances don’t turn around by next June, the place will close. The Bedlam Ensemble, a non-profit theater group in New York City, is hoping to change the precarious position the establishment is in. The Delirium of Edgar Allen Poe, an interactive off-Broadway production, is going into performance by the group, with all proceeds going to the Poe House. Kimberly Freeman, artistic director for the Bedlam Ensemble and co-producer of the production, had this to say of the possible closing, “The Edgar Allan Poe House and Museum should not be allowed to close. It’s not right for such a well respected literary icon to have part of his history destroyed/closed. It’s part of the Poe legacy which in turn is part of American history and should be treated with the respect it deserves.” The production is set to have very intentionally ‘Victorian / Steampunk’ feel, giving an extra edge to the interactive play, and with a stylized and open set which is set out for patrons to explore, this is something atypical even for an off-Broadway play. Performances will take place at Altered Stages 2, (150 West 28th Street, New York City) on October 28-30, November 4-6 and 11-13. Performances start at 8 PM, tickets are $22 – $35.

Barnes & Noble removes DC graphic novels

October 9, 2011 10:06 AM by Leave a Comment Filed Under: Random Tagged With: , ,

In a move of retaliation, Barnes & Noble bookstores are removing DC graphic novels from their available content, including the Superman, V for Vendetta, Batman, and Watchmen titles. The decision came shortly after DC Entertainment cut an explicit deal with Amazon, one that places DC electronic content exclusively on Amazon Kindle products. Furthermore beginning November 15th DC graphic titles will be made available on the Kindle Fire only, the same day the Fire becomes available. With the shutdown of Borders this means that DC comics will not be available at any mass market bookstore, thought customers can still special order these at B&N bookstores or go online to buy them. In a statement B&N chief merchant stated “Regardless of the publisher, we will not stock physical books in our stores if we are not offered the available digital format. To sell and promote the physical book in our store showrooms and not have the ebook available for sale would undermine our promise to Barnes & Noble customers to make available any book, anywhere, anytime.”

In response DC Entertainment stated, “We are disappointed that Barnes & Noble has made the decision to remove these books off their shelves and make them unavailable to their customers. DC Entertainment will continue to make our content available to our fans and new readers through multiple distribution channels including locally-owned comic book retailers, independent bookstores, other bookstore chains and other widespread means such as online through Amazon and through our apps on iOS and select Android powered devices as well as new and exciting devices going forward.”

Aside from the statement, DC has made no other response prompted action. Apparently, they believe the Kindle and electronic market to be more lucrative than the physical paperback, probably as a result of their huge electronic relaunch in September to deal with sagging comic book sales. It’s a decision that is either going to make or break the DC relaunch, either way, one thing customers can do to fight back; support your local bookstore!
