Here Comes The Sun (with an ad on her forehead)

No offense to the melanin-challenged readers of this blog, but usually it's white people you see doing crazy publicity stunts like selling adspace on their foreheads. Well I'm proud to say that we Black folks can do stupid things like that ,too.

Richmond-based author/model Sun Karma is the latest to jump on the "auction my body" on eBay, but with a twist. She's not only selling ads on her body but ten percent of the proceeds go to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

PETA is an OK cause but it really would have been cool if proceeds went to something like the Urban League , Rainbow/Push, or some other Black based organization. I think seeing her handing a check to Jessie Jackson with some website ad across her chest would be a photo-op the media would love.

Anyway, since she's hot in that "I'm never taking you home to see my momma" kind of way I'm including a link to her auction:

The AB Four (The Sex, Nudity, Gay and Seal Edition)

The lovely Nzyme lists the 10 things she hates about BlackPlanet.com

In the always popular "White girls are crazy archive" is this 19-year old girl who stripped in front of the student body at Atlanten High School in Kristiansund two weeks ago in order to win Russ presidency. What she probably didn’t expect was digital camcorders among the auddience and that the performance would spread like wildfire on the internet. Yesterday even the largest privately owned TV-Broadcasting company TV2 put a link up to the strip-clip. And I'm sharing it with you...

31-year-old German model Heidi Klum and the 42-year-old "Kiss from a Rose" singer Seal tied the knot in a secret ceremony on a Mexican beach Tuesday. a few days after this study was released.

And in sad news Karsh (the only Black gay male contestant) was eliminated in The Ultimate Blogger contest.

Are Prince Fans Really Conservatives?

Booker Rising, the website of Black cheap labor conservatives, recently linked to a post by Casey Lartigue, Jr. ,which blasted Micheal Eric Dyson for being 15 minutes late to a book signing and sounding like Mike Tyson.

C'mon guys, you can do better than that.

If you're gonna find liberal bashing articles you may want to look beyond blogs written by Prince Music Club members. Are you sure that Casey is a conservative (check out those beads in the picture) or is he just pissed he hasn't been invited to any of the 3121 parties?

By the way, to everyone else reading this,if you are not a member of the NPG Music club, I suggest you join. Great benefits!

Unexpected reprecussions from the rise of Hip Hop culture

How I became a Trent Reznor Fan

I like the new Trent Reznor album. I probably check out his live show as well.

And I have a cool Trent Reznor story.

A few years ago, when I still lived in New Orleans, my ex-wife (the smart one) had a visit from her brother and one of his friends. They were both seniors in college and were having a week of debauchery before the realities of the real world came crashing down.

Well the friend was a big Nine Inch Nails fan. Since Trent lived in New Orleans, we decided to show them his funeral home turned house since my wife had recently been their for a Holloween party. (The advantages of an expensive liberal education!) (The house was recently sold, BTW). It was about 3AM.

The AB 4 (expanded edition)

National Politics get people riled but local politics is where the fun is. One of the more interesting places right now is Miami. A few months ago Miami City Commissioner Art Teele was arrested and charged with two felonies. That meant he had to be replaced and instead of holding an election the rest of the Commisioners and the Mayor, decided to appoint someone. The reason they didn't want an election is because the Teele case was dead in the water and in an election Teele would more than likely run and win. After an exhaustive search that lasted roughly five minutes, Miami's city fathers found just the man to replace Art Teele: Jeffery Allen. But now Allen's problems are coming out...

The funniest guy in the blog universe is having a fight with fans of 13 year old JoJo.

Eight of ten Burundi Tutsi political parties have relented and accepted the new constitution, which gave it enough support to bring the constitution into force today. The Tutsis felt that there were not enough safeguards for Tutsi rights. However, the Tutsis, like everyone else, is tired of years of civil war and wants to "give peace a chance." At this point, the only real opposition to a new government, and elections, are the Hutu FNL rebels, who still have several hundred armed men operating south of the capital.

Via Micheal King: CNN/Netscape calls Bush "asshole" in pic name on website

BlackPundit is inspired by GWB's election to become intolerant of what others do in private..

And Debwire finds that there appears to be a connection between intelligence and how people voted:

Weekend Notes

In Tampa we had a visit today by Kerry. They expected 1200 to attend the rally. Over 15000 showed up.

CinemaNow Gets "Fahrenheit 9/11" Exclusive: Which doesn't really mean anything, firstly because
you can easily find copies of the movies for streaming and download online...example, check out Russell Beattie's site or if you are really into democratic online video propaganda (like I am!) check out the Never Forget site.

It includes fun clips like Rice's 9/11 Commission Testimony and the other famous female cheap labor conservative Britney Spears' and her gum smacking support of Bush.

Keith Olbermann had some interesting things to say on his MSNBC 'blog':

...And I think the political analysts have forgotten to examine the psychology of an electorate under the stress of war and fear. For the longest time, even when Mr. Bush’s approval ratings were at their apex in the post-Afghanistan and immediate post-Saddam periods, I kept wondering if he wouldn’t fall victim to the Winston Churchill effect.

Mid-20th Century British politics aren’t taught much in American schools any more, but it has fascinated me always that in the spring of 1945, with Hitler dead, England’s gamble to fight the Nazis having been vindicated, and his own gallantry and leadership acclaimed universally, that the British promptly voted Churchill out of office in favor of a first-time Prime Minister in Clement Attlee. It astonished Churchill, and British pollsters, and world leaders in general...

And in case you didn't hear: The Miami Dolphins have filed a lawsuit against former running back Ricky Williams, who retired abruptly before the start of training camp and owes the team nearly $9 million.

Vote Or Die

People seem to have some issues with P.Diddy's "Vote Or Die" campaign. It seems one guy didn't realize registration was not included. The shirts bother Byron so much he came up with his own solution:

...If I was involved with this shit, I'd change the name of the campaign to "Kill Dick Cheney," with the idea being that should him and GDM actually lose this year's election, the news would be enough to cause his pacemaker, or whatever it is that's keeping that creep alive, to short out and he'd actually drop dead right there on the spot. The TV commercials would be an actual dramatization of this happening and a fade to black with the words "Kill Dick Cheney." The shirts would be similar, except that the word "Kill" would be in red and "Dick Cheney" would be in black. I know I'd buy one, and I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those "Vote or Die" shirts...

Fun Stuff

Here are 3 entertaining diversions. 2 of the 3 contain explicite language and the other is a remake of a video game so none are safe for work (which means they all are pretty cool...).

The smartest and busiest person I know, Tory P. ,sent me this one. Take a moment and watch the following filmstrip at http://filmstripinternational.com. Be sure to have flash enabled and your speakers turned on. You may also want to make sure your right wing hosebag boss is at lunch.

The foul language in the first one inspired me to look up George Carlin. I found out George has a new book. You can listen to an mp3 version of the Ten Commandments section here (4 megs).

And this I found as a random email in my box. No foul language but fun.A cool ass Donkey Kong ripoff that takes you through the political process. Fun, but much tougher than original Donkey Kong.
