What Happens When You Have A Cheap Name

June 23rd, 2008by Baba Ganoush · 2 Comments

It was really only a matter of time… I mean 50 Cent has put his name on a number of products, you might say selling out, including Vitamin Water, Reebok, a new body spray and Magic Stick Condoms. In other words, 50 Cent is not afraid to put his name on products that he supports.

Well, Taco Bell might have gone a little far with the rap mogul - I suggest developing a new bullet-proof variety of taco shell. Apparently the company put together a proposal for 50 to make an appearance at a Taco Bell store, rap his order, and change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent - the prices of items on Taco Bell’s Value Menu.

The contract was leaked before 50 Cent’s people even got their hands on it and now 50 Cent is upset that the whole thing was a publicity stunt.

Overall, it hasn’t been a good month for 50 Cent: His ex is suing 50 for burning her house down and he’s feuding with his G-Unit counterpart Young Buck. Who knows, if things keep going this way for 50 Cent, he might start making appearances at Taco Bell without even having to pay him.

Ultimate Fighting Goes Mainstream

June 2nd, 2008by Baba Ganoush · 2 Comments

Saturday night ultimate fighting or mixed-martial arts (MMA) finally got the spotlight on primetime non-cable television with the Elite XC (Xtreme Combat) Saturday Night Fights on CBS. With a fight card featuring five matches, including a female bout, and our favorite Gus Johnson handling the commentator duties, there was definitely a lot of hype surrounding the night.

Although the night started out with only about two minutes of actual fighting in the first hour, the final three fights lived up to the hype. The women’s match between Gina Carano and Kaitlin Young might have been the best girl-fight I’ve ever seen, the fight was called when Young’s left eye swelled up to the size of a hot-air balloon between the second and third rounds, giving Carano the victory. Carano, known as the face of female fighting, is pretty darn good looking for someone who gets punched in the face for a living - also of note, Carano is “Crush” on American Gladiators. I’m sure we’ll be seeing her as a Monday Morning Pick Me Up soon.

Robbie Lawyer and Scott Smith had an epic battle, which unfortunately ended after an accidental eye gouge in the third round left Smith with impaired vision. Watching the slow-mo replay, I almost went blind too.

In the main event, Kimbo Slice (a.k.a. Kevin Ferguson) went up against James “Colossus” Thompson - the “Colossus” nickname I assume comes from the colossus cauliflower ear that protrudes on the left side of his head, it’s so big I’m surprised he can stand up straight. Kimbo is known from just being a brute street fighter who is essentially a YouTube phenomenon because of this fight. People knock Kimbo for being an amateur MMA fighter who is untrained and relies on his raw fighting style. My roommate continued to be frustrated with Kimbo’s inability to execute moves/holds throughout the whole fight and expected Kimbo to not even last past the first round.

The highlight of the fight for me was when Thompson was attempting to choke-out Kimbo, the ref was asking if Kimbo wanted to tap out, instead Kimbo gave him the thumbs up and continued to fight on. In the third round, Kimbo put together a series of punches that knocked Thompson into a drunken stagger resulting in the ref to step-in and end the fight.

Overall it was a good night for the sport. Although it still has its critics, with the growth of the sport, the hype and popularity surrounding it, we’ll surely see more of these events in the primetime spotlight.

Sears featuring LL Cool J: Worst Remix Ever!

May 29th, 2008by Baba Ganoush · 3 Comments

In an attempt to (re)mix up their fall fashions like it was 1993, Sears has partnered with the rap legend LL Cool J to produce a fall line of clothes targeting children, teen girls and suburban white teenagers young men.

USA Today reported this earlier in the week and I learned two things from the article: LL Cool J has an album coming out in June and Sears sells clothes. Weird.

Anyway, my prediction for the LL Cool J (Ladies Love Cool James, for those of you who didn’t know) line of clothes is that they’ll progress about the same way his career has:

1. Clothing line will be named with a similar format: MWW Cool H (Must Wear With Cool Hats)

2. Initial season of clothes will be bangin’, so much so that your mama will knock you out.

3. Clothing line will be challenged by a rival line, made entirely of Hemp. MWW Cool H will prevail and spark a brief up-turn in sales.

4. Product placement in shows on the CW and over-hyped movies will diminish street cred of clothing line.

5. Sears claims MWW Cool H “greatest clothing line of all-time,” despite common sense.

6. MWW Cool H hopes for retro revival due to overstocking of clothing line at Goodwill/Savers.

7. In a counter move, Target and Wal-Mart… oh wait, they didn’t know Sears sold clothes either. Nevermind.

Questionable Purchase

May 28th, 2008by Mr. Wonka · 26 Comments

This is what the guy behind me was buying at the checkout counter the other day. And that was ALL he was buying…

Can you at least get some beer with that? You’re obviously gearing up for a fun night…

Rugby Players Bitch Slap Drunk Airline Passanger

March 26th, 2008by Bill Brasky · 3 Comments

bitch slap

The new sky marshals are rugby players, at least in Australia. On a recent flight from Sydney to Perth a couple of South African rugby players assisted the flight crew by bitch slapping a drunk passenger that was getting too obnoxious. Personally, I wish this would happen more often on airplanes. In particular, my recent flight to New York would have been much more enjoyable if someone would have accosted the two girls seated behind me who had an obnoxiously loud, nonsensical conversation about a dress and bathroom decor for the entire flight.

Cop vs. Skateboarders

February 19th, 2008by Mike Honcho · No Comments

Man, why is it that cops, and pretty much every authority figure in general, hate skateboarders so much? I mean, all they’re trying to do is a few kickflips, or a sweet grind. Give ‘em a break! It might be easier for them to look the other way if they didn’t have such a raging roid complex. Or, if they thought, hey, these are just a couple 14 year-old kids. Let them have their fun.

Medicine Ball Uppercut

February 12th, 2008by Mike Honcho · 4 Comments

This is proof that steroids will come back and bite you in the ass. Just when he’s feeling really confident and strong, he goes and tries to bounce a rubber medicine ball so hard it will go through the roof. Unfortunately, strong man’s chin was in the way.

Monday morning/New Year resolutions Rant

January 7th, 2008by Baba Ganoush · 3 Comments

I’m not usually a fan of ranting, but sometimes it just feels good to get stuff off your chest (right, Jenna Jameson?). With the New Year comes everyone’s New Year’s resolutions, the majority of which have something to do with eating better, losing weight, being healthier, exercising/working out more, not being such a whore, etc.

workout.jpgThe result from this is a packed gym with people taking these New Year resolutions seriously. Maybe you got some new workout clothes, a cool gym bag, custom fit running shoes for Christmas… you at least look the part. And every gym has some kind of deal to capitalize on people thinking that this is actually going to be the year! Well, news flash, it isn’t.

So, I’m forced to deal with four-to-six weeks of a bunch of gym-going newbies, as they monopolize the cardio machines and take five minutes just to figure out how to work the simple leg curl weight station. Luckily one of my New Year’s resolutions is patience, otherwise I would have started choking people out with resistance bands. Only a couple more weeks and I can go back to my normal routine, with the gym regulars who know how things work and you have that unspoken bond with.

Ok, now I feel much better. Time to go workout!

Science makes no sense

December 15th, 2007by Mr. Wonka · No Comments

vishnuOn the same day a news story pops up that scientists have successfully made glow-in-the-dark cloned cats, we also get a story that a girl was born with 4 arms and 4 legs in India, and they removed the extra ones!

Pick a side, science! Either we’re going headfirst into the crazy superhero power market, or we’re resisting it. We can’t be making living things glow in the dark, and then remove a God-given superpower from a little girl! She could have grown up to fight crime!

Glowing cats

American Gladiators, F–k Yeah!

December 14th, 2007by Mitch Martin · 3 Comments

Goddamn it! I can’t wait for American Gladiators to come back on January 6th. It doesn’t look like the writers strike is going to end anytime soon, so this is pretty much all I have to look forward to as far as TV goes. NBC has posted the full roster of Gladiators on their website along with pictures and bios. Looks like there are 12 Gladiators total, evenly split between men and women. The pictures below are Titan and Siren. Can anyone explain to me what Titan is wearing? It looks like something an NFL cheerleader would wear on Sunday. If you want to wear the short shorts fine, but get rid of the that hoorendous tank top.

Greatest Drunk in History?

December 12th, 2007by Mr. Wonka · 2 Comments

andreThis gentleman makes a pretty compelling case for Andre the Giant as the biggest drunk (literally and figuratively) in history.

Among the main points:

- Andre regularly consumed up to 7000 calories of booze a day.
- 2 liters of vodka merely made the Giant “feel warm inside”
- During road trips on his bus, Andre usually went through a case of beer every 90 minutes.
- Once in Japan, Andre was gifted a case of expensive plum wine before leaving via bus to a wrestling engagement. Upon arriving 4 hours later, Andre was just polishing off the last bottle. And he kept on drinking! That’s 16 bottles of wine to PRE-FUNK!

Anyway, there are many more stories about the 7-foot drunkard, and all make a pretty compelling case for Andre the Giant as Drunk of the Millenium.
