Can I sue Sasha Baron Cohen for making me look at his bare arse?
Good morning all!
Looks like Cohen isn’t having a good week!
Wonder how the British-Muslim community will react to this.
The suburbs are screwed. I don’t particularly care except it could be a serious problem for the rest of us. Think of it:
Acres of mcmansions worth next to nothing, full of mold; empty car lots (GM and Chrysler turning them loose… &c) Mesa, AZ is the next Buffalo.
cities that aren’t dead at the core already have the problem of being surrounded by this cancerous shit that used to be just ridiculous but is now ridiculous AND full of crime and molding mcmansions.
This whole “Wall St celebrating fewest layoffs since Wall St induced mess started” is much like cows celebrating “McDonalds sells fewer hamburgers.” Maybe it’s just me as one of the soon to be executed/ground into Soylent Green/Hamburger but I’d feel a tad bit better if the words “Job”, “Creation” and “increases” were used (better if in sequence.)
Eminem is suing Sasha Baron Cohen?
Even better, the anti-gun nut conservatives on the Seventh Circuit disagreed with a panel of left-wing Trotskyites from the Ninth Circuit, who actually found that the Second Amendment DOES apply to the States.
And since the Supreme Court must always overrule the pinko Ninth Circuit (it is in the Constitution–look it up), soon the only place where it will be legal to own a gun or pair of nunchucks is Washington D.C. And maybe Guam.
ForTheTurnstiles: Are you out my direction as well? (South Mesa, far from a McMansion.) Far east Mesa got hit badly.
I’m [i]so pissed off[/i] about layoffs. My company was going through a rapid reduction in workers over a couple of months, and then our damned CEO holds an all-employee call stating that we’re not going to have any more layoffs. I needed that unemployment check, dammit. That Xbox isn’t going to play itself all day.
A Lou Rawls rhythm track will play underneath the Preznit’s address today, as it always does:

Gun rights advocates have criticized Sotomayor for a decision by a panel of the Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit of which she was a member. The unsigned opinion dismissed a challenge to a New York law that banned nunchakus, a martial arts weapon.
Since when do gun nut fruitcakes care about NUNCHAKUS!? Give them plastic mini-nunchucks or TRUCKCHUCKS(TM pending - now in designer colors) to shut the fuck up.
The Sotomayor confirmation fiasco shows how desperate the right is: instead of flinging only mud, they toss whatever comes to hand - pots, pans, the cat, pillows, … and nunchucks.
layoffs will probably pick up again toward the end of Q3.
Another reason to hate the holidays!
DoctorCulturae: No no. A Saudi visit calls for the smooth stylings of Teddy Pendergrass, which will get everyone’s legs rubbing together like crickets.
teleken: No, I’m in Fairfax, VA: the Scottsdale of the DC area. I got laid in Tempe once, though, so that’s memorable for me.
I think Barry’s more of a tenor.
That Air France black box is gone. The only way they could recover it would be for Clive Cussler to direct the operation.
Formerly Preferred: Oh noes! We can’t have our guns banned. What will deranged woman-hating, fetus porn-fapping sociopaths use to assassinate doctors who make a living performing legal procedures?
The FBI will stick to its lone nut theory rather than treating it as another in a long line of acts perpetuated by a terrorist organization, so breathe easy Operation Rescue, being an accomplice to murder is OK if you’re all religious & shit about it.
hobospacejunkie: No, no, no–you are thinking about this the wrong way. If Doctor Tiller and the entire congregation had been carrying AR-15s or whatever, they could have opened fire on the perp before he managed to pull the trigger. More guns=less gun use, or something. That is why all drunk frat boys should be required to carry guns on campus, always, to prevent on-campus gun deaths. Virginia Tech–never forget.
Gordon Brown went wrong when he went back to playing the role himself. David Morrissey was far more competent besides being off-the-charts hot compared to the original.
Terry: They could find that black box by hiring William Bell of Massive Dynamic to do the search. Most likely it, and the aircraft, have simply slipped into another dimension from where it is easily retrievable.
Capitol Hillbilly: I don’t think that word means what you think it does. If anything, Barry’s a bass-baritone. Newt is a tenor.
Here’s hoping that Bruno is tried, convicted and hanged by his nuts until dead. Sacha Baron Cohen’s actually a pretty good actor (in Sweeney Todd, f’rinstance), but his ambush characters SUCK. Die, Borat, Bruno, all y’all cocksuckers.
I never watched Da Ali G show, but the clips I’ve seen remind me of Amos and Andy, only meanspirited.
ForTheTurnstiles: Its dangerous when they turn cars loose like that. They go feral and get all dangerous like.
Yes, folks, it’s A BOOK ABOUT DEATH : http://abookaboutdeath.blogspot.com/
We’re still looking for some entries from the Axis of Evil…
I wouldn’t worry too much about the black box. The oceans will be dry soon, after which time it should be an easy matter of just walking down there and grabbing it out of the tail. ‘Sall good.
hobospacejunkie: And what will angry ex-spouses/partners do when they want to kill their wives and children? Think of the children, people! Guns for all (or at least, bitter, psychotic men who want to prey on their own families).
Lazy Media: No, Newt is an alto, if not mezzo-soprano. Barry WHITE is a bass. Dean Martin was a baritone.
4tehlulz: yes, for being inside Cohen’s ass.
“Brain bleeds”?
I hope this is another staged publicity attempt for Bruno- “brain bleeding” sounds fucking gross.
Capitol Hillbilly: No, he’s more of a barruhhhtone.
DoctorCulturae: And this one is always playing when Michael Steele walks and talks.
While I’m not wild about the comic stylings of Sacha Baron Cohen, I think Eminem is kind of pushing things by blaming his loss of marital relations on the whole “homo rubbed his ass in my face” incident. For some of us, that’s as close to marital relations as we’ll ever get.
There is a big difference between compelled to be a good mom and being okay with having your entire existence reliant on some guy not leaving you!
I wonder if those British ministers are getting all action Jackson now because the economist called them a bunch of pussies
Ha! Losers! The jokes on you all, Obama is just another funny character played by Cohen.
Ok, bring back the white guy.
facehead: So our black Muslin president was a Jew all along. How avant-garde.
Capitol Hillbilly: Neut speaks as though his neuticles have been banded for neutering purposes, hence the unexpectedly girly-high voice emanating from his ginormous ass and twelve chins.
There’s no snark to be had in a plane crash that no one walks away from.
OTOH, I’ll bet the Freepers go nuts about Barry in Saudi Arabia. Isn’t he supposed to have stayed with one of the princes?
TGY: NUTCHUKZ! That is a seriously marketable idea–sure to be big with “pull my finger” crowd, of which we have no shortage in our proud nation. Maybe a line of throwing stars with “3″ printed on them, too?
Jsab: Have you guys heard the latest news about blogwhores here? I ’spect you may, soon.
Larry McAwful: That Xbox isn’t going to play itself all day.
Actually, i think there’s a hack for that, check out the gamer forums online.
hobospacejunkie: [i] …being an accomplice to murder is OK if you’re all [s]religious[/s} [b]Christian[/b] & shit about it.[/i]
Fixed. Being Mooslim religious in America is still a crime.
Ack! My HTML tags re screwed. Damn you SKS! This must be somehow your fault.
edgydrifter: Capitalism gold!
I assume this the Sacha Baron Cohen activity was when he ran naked through a corporate sales presentation, nude, as Borat and his 30 inch schlong?
Can Barry sing the call to Prayer at the Grand Mosque? That would just be awesome in his smooth baritone voice.
TMZ?
WIDTAP: Use carets instead of brackets & your HTML will work perfectly.
Here’s hoping Sasha’s portayal of Teh Ghey will attain new heights of versimilitude under the tutelage of expert consultants. In the ass.
