It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Abercrombie & Fitch Opens Another Store With a Billion Hotties Posing Shirtless


Back in September, Singapore was pissed off because Abercrombie & Fitch placed this scantly ad outside one of their precious malls.  I wonder what they're going to do now that Abercrombie has opened their new store in Singapore with a billion half-naked, hot boys posing shirtless outside their store.

I think they hired the same boys from the store opening in France, don't you think?

The Flowers of Evil [NSFW and not suitable for Children]

So how do you introduce your latest fashion designs?  Oh, I don't know, make a short film that will scare the crap out of you? LOL.  

Agent Provocateur, billed as the sexiest website in the world, released their latest luxury lingerie in early November and used director Justin Anderson to do it.  The short film titled, "Les Fleurs du Mal" was produced by Epoch Films, and I'd have to say its pretty darn creepy.

The short film is not safe for work and not appropriate for minors.

Shooting Your Boss

Okay, admit it.  How many of you have wanted to shoot your boss?  

Fine, don't tell me, but I know who you are.  I think we've always had a reason to hate our bosses, either because they're rude to us, show us no appreciation, or make us do more than what our title entails.

Now, if you want to shoot your boss for any other reason, then seek some help. LOL.

In the video below, Trent Kimball, the President and CEO of Texas Armoring Corporation truly stands behind his product. He sits behind a safety glass windshield as one of his employees shoots an AK47 at him.  Pretty crazy stuff...

To announce the grand opening of Westfield Stratford City, which will soon be “the largest urban shopping centre in Europe”, Westfield created this fun short film, 100 YEARS / STYLE / EAST LONDON. The film, directed by Jake Lunt with The Viral Factory, amazingly gives the run-down of 100 years of East London fashion, dance and music in just 100 seconds." via PSFK

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #7 - Party Rock Anthem

I'm turning on my headphones, and currently listening to... 


Another fantastic summer hit that made it into my box of jams. I love this song, it really gets your day going.  The video below was the commercial of the night during the MTV Music Video Awards this past Sunday.   

First they drove. Then they rapped. Now they're dancing (to LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem). But they're not doing any old dance. They're shuffling. And they're doing it harder, faster and better than any hamster has ever shuffled before. Here is the encore presentation.

and here is the best part of the official music video...

Call of Duty: Black Ops - Rezurrection

Call of Duty, the very popular shooter game franchise has a new game being released tomorrow, it's called Call of Duty: Black Ops - Rezurrection.  The trailer is down below.

I'm sorry, but these kind of games just terrify me. They're scary, bloody and downright gory!  For some, it may be NSFW so watch it at your own leisure.

Google Goes Gaga for Gaga

It premiered on Saturday Night Live on May 21st, and if you watched the season finale of Glee last night you may have noticed it during a commercial break.  The ad showcases Lady Gaga and her new song, "Edge of Glory."

When covers of her song came up on YouTube shortly after it's release on May 8th, Gaga asked her little monsters for more videos to shoot in the commercial, and in less than 10 days the ad aired.

Google Chrome refers to the ad as a short film, as it is nearly 2 minutes long. 
This film celebrates Lady Gaga's special and unmediated relationship with her fans, the Little Monsters. The making of this film is a demonstration of the power of the web in its own right. The entire project, beginning with Lady Gaga's shoot in NYC on May 8th, to shipping materials to the television networks for air, took 10 days. Within hours of the release of her new single "Edge of Glory" on May 9th, fans began uploading videos on YouTube, making the song their own by dancing to it, singing it and playing it on all kinds of instruments. Lady Gaga then posted a message on her website asking for more videos to be used in the film project. Fans responded within minutes and uploaded hundreds more videos. Back in the editing room, in real time as fan videos streamed in, editors were putting them into the film. The film was completed on May 18th in time to air during Lady Gaga's performance on the season finale of Saturday Night Live, and to also live on the web.
If you missed it, or you simply want to see it again, you can view the awe-inspiring commercial right here:

Abercrombie & Fitch Opens French Store With Over 100 Hot Men

What is Abercrombie & Fitch well  known for?

Ummmm..... I don't know - selling great clothes?  

Um No!


Selling sex? 

Absolutely!  I mean you can visit their website, and quickly figure it out.

And they know how well it works too.  Why else would they be opening their first Abercrombie & Fitch store in Paris with 101 shirtless models?  They've made a fortune exploiting hot boys and their muscular bodies all over America; this time it's no different. 

Promoting their grand opening, the company paraded their soft-core porn to the people of France, and I'm loving every second of it!

Well the website, Mother Nature Network did some investigating, and has provided some results.

 

Is McDonald's new 'Fruit and Maple Oatmeal' as cheap and healthy as old-school oats?

Straight But Not Narrow


The really sexy Josh Hutcherson has come out in support of all the straights.  In a new campaign to support the Trevor Project, the Straight But Not Narrow campaign describes itself as the "go to" site for straight folks.  


This is a way of getting the message across that "it’s an unfortunate reality that most of the bullying and harassment that gay teens face comes from them."

Furthermore, the site continues to say, "Just be you, Cause that's good enough for us."
So, whether you like girls, you like guys, you like both, you like neither (well, that would kinda suck, but you get the idea)…. what difference does it really make? There’s a whole lot more to a person than who they date. And yeah, we’re all different. But we believe that it’s those differences that make us interesting. Why would we all want to be exactly the same? Where’s the excitement in that?

While I find the concept of this campaign really progressive, it's hard to believe in it, because of the condemnation we face everyday.  But then again, every little bit helps, and we thank Josh for his contribution.


Entertainment Tonight's Captain America Promo

Sometimes, I think they should have re-thought their casting for Spiderman, Superman, and Batman, and cast Chris Evans as all three alter egos.  But of course that couldn't happen, because while Batman and Superman appeared in DC Comics, Spiderman and Captain America appeared in Marvel.


Ah fuck it! Who cares?  I just can't get over how hot Chris Evans looks in this Entertainment Tonight's promotional video showing the very, skinny version of him, which is obviously CGI, and the oh, so muscular version, which is ALL real!

Courtesy of Wikipedia:
 In 1942, Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is deemed physically unfit to enlist in the U.S. Army and fight the Nazis in World War II. Volunteering instead for Project: Rebirth, a secret military operation, he is physically transformed into a super-soldier dubbed Captain America. With sidekick Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), he fights the Red Skull (Hugo Weaving), Hitler’s treacherous head of advanced weaponry, whose own plan for world domination involves a seemingly magical object known as the Tesseract.

Can "The Voice" Bring Back Our Diva, Christina Aguilera?

Quite Fascinating...

If there were ever a job that could bring someone back from the brink of self-destruction, it would be "The Voice."  This may be Christina's saving grace after all.  The show is title is such, because the judges are literally with their backs turned to the singers, and only get to hear their voice.

Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green, and Adam Levine will be the judges on NBC's new show, set to premiere on April 26th.  Oh, and Carson Daly will be playing the host.  You may remember me blogging about it 3 weeks ago, and I wasn't to keen on the idea of a new singing competition, especially during American Idol, but I may have a change of heart.  Maybe.


I'll be honest, after watching the promo and learning more about the show, I got a little intrigued.   In the promo, Adam Levine explains, “The biggest difference between this show and all of the other vocal competition shows is that it’s a blind audition…Remember the ’70s? There were some sketchy-looking people that had gorgeous voices.

Can this save Christina?  You be the judge...

Take A Trip to Disneyland Paris

Regardless of what Wikipedia and Disney have to say on how it was made, the video is superb.  The Disneyland Paris promo looks like a  clay-mation or "Rudolph" type movie, and the music that accompanies it has that old 1920's feel to it.

Pack your bags and get ready to enjoy a whirlwind trip via our new tilt-shift video, "A Magical Day at Disneyland Paris," and see just about everything The Walt Disney Studios and Disneyland Park has to offer. Read more at the Disney Parks Blog: Here


According to Wikipedia, "Tilt-shift photography" refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene.  In simpler terms, Disney's blog states, "Tilt-shift videos like these use different photo angles, focus settings and color saturation adjustments to make the subject of a photo appear miniature. It took more than seven months and 4,000 photographs to produce this 2:38-minute clip."

I found the video fascinating, to say the least. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
