Brokeback Twilight

So what if I'm a little late with this. It's still funny as hell.  Not sure how many of you ever saw Brokeback Mountain, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, but for those who haven't, it was about two cowboys who secretly loved each other and remained in the closet throughout the whole movie.  I know.  Ironically enough, the straights liked it more than the gays. LOL.

But what if a wolf named Jacob and a vampire named Edward were carrying on a secret relationship?  What would Bella do?  LMAO!  Check out the video, it should make you chuckle.

Celebrity Pallbearers

I thought this infographic was pretty darn cool.  For those who have no idea what a pallbearer is, the definition is underneath the title.  

It took me a few seconds, but I was able to find out which celebrities carried Natalie Wood's casket.  Some celebrities only had one fellow celebrity carry their casket, but in the case of Natalie, she had Fred Astaire, Laurence Olivier, David Niven, Frank Sinatra and Gregory Peck, all of which have died since then.  It's pretty fascinating - click on the pic to see the full chart, or go to mysendoff.com.

Laugh of the Day: Blind Man Pees On People

Oh my, I wouldn't know what to think if this happened to me.  First, the guy is blind so cut the guy some slack.  Second, the people being pee'd on should have been more courteous.  LMAO.  Too funny for words.

Thank you Darwin for sharing this.

OMG Hilarious! - Peeve

U.S. History We Choose To Ignore

It's amazing how we go through high school, taking college course after college course, writing research papers and taking final exams; Yet, we will never learn all there ever is to learn about our country, our politicians, and who they truly were.  Some leave it out, some refuse to teach it, some just simply ignore it.  I came across this blog this morning and had to share it.

"My morning run took me past the oldest tree in Central Park. This London Plane tree is over 150 years old and was planted sometime shortly before the Reservoir in Central Park was constructed in 1862. To give a little historical perspective, at about the time this tree was planted America was fighting the Civil War. President Abraham Lincoln began the process to free African slaves by issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, but would also move to brutally eradicate Native Americans by ordering the largest mass hanging in United States history of 38 Santee Sioux and gave a presidential promise to kill or remove every single Native American from the state of Minnesota."

Still think of President Lincoln as God's gift to mankind?  **cough** Not so much.

Movies to Watch: Casa De Mi Padre

The biggest international motion picture of all time comes to America March 16th.

Border Patrol: "Do you speak American?"
Will Ferrell:     "Huh?"
Border Patrol:  "Do - you - speak - American?"
Will Ferrell:      "No Senor, No hablo Americano"

OMG, this will definitely have to be the funniest Will Ferrell movie ever made.  Jesus Christ, I can't keep from laughing.  His Mexican accent is near perfect. LMAO.  

"Casa De Mi Padre" also stars Gael Garcia Bernal, Diego Luna, and Genesis Rodriguez.

The Storyline:

Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his father's ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch encounters financial difficulties, Armando's younger brother Raul (Diego Luna), shows up with his new fiancé, Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez). It seems that Raul's success as an international businessman means the ranch's troubles are over as he pledges to settle all debts his father has incurred. But when Armando falls for Sonia, and Raul's business dealings turn out to be less than legit, all hell breaks loose as they find themselves in a war with Mexico's most feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael Garcia Bernal).

Kiss of the Week - Issue No. 009

Frequency of Lying

Okay, I want to see how often you lie...

Isn't This The Truth? Sad Reality

For real. LMAO.

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 43 - Best Commercial Ever!!!

Yes, everyone is saying it's the best commercial ever, so I had to post it.  Even Ryan sent me the video last night so that when I got to work I'd find it in my inbox. LOL. Thanks my love!  

Remember last year's Volkswagen commercial with little Darth?  Well, this time around it's a group of loving "man's best friends"  

Check it out.  It's supposedly a teaser until the big reveal on Super Bowl Sunday.

It's Okay To Be A Bully, So Long As It's For Religious Reasons

Jacob Rogers

Yep, the good 'ol south - you gotta love'em. It hasn't even been a month since a local gay teen in Tennessee was buried that a new law allowing kids to bully is being proposed by the State Legislature.  I know, you're thinking I'm trying to push some liberal agenda, that no conservative would ever do such a thing.  But guess what, it's true!

As local news channel WSMV is reporting, the proposed law change by state lawmakers would allow students to speak out against homosexuality without punishment if that's what their religious beliefs call for. [source]

So in other words... if my child is walking through the halls, minding their own business, and a religious kid comes up and tells him or her they are going to hell, they're a sinner or sodomite, they will have every right to ridicule them and belittle them?  Yes, this new law will allow that.  You mean to tell me, if they tell my child "you're a fag and are going to burn in eternal fire," and my child might not even be gay - that will be okay? YEP.

It's true and it's sad, but this type of behavior is what led many of us to contemplate suicide when we were younger.  I would often find myself praying myself to sleep asking God to make me normal, asking him why would he made me this way if I was his child.  Depression kicks in, and everything you're taught to believe in this world turns out to be a lie. You start to believe that everyone, and every thing is a lie!

In correspondence with the Tennessee Equality Project, the state's main gay rights group, state Rep. John Ragan, R-Oak Ridge, claimed gay people commit suicide at a higher rate than others and suggested Jacob's sexuality itself drove him to kill himself. Ragan asked whether the suicide could have had "more to do with his own proclivities and behavior than anything to do with schoolmate bullies ..."

Blaming the victim is necessary to prevent Jacob's death from damaging chances for passage of Tennessee's 2012 state legislative priority—a bill to make it easier for young bigots to mistreat gay schoolkids. This legislation brought by conservative Christians who oppose special protections for gay people actually gives special protections to homophobic bullies. [source]

Spartacus Returns With A Vengeance

And on January 27th, with a vengeance we will watch.  Ryan and I are so excited for the new season of Spartacus, which is awesomely titled Spartacus: Vengeance.

We have Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and Spartacus: Blood and Sand on Blu-ray, and OMG the entire series is absolutely fantastic.  If you haven't watched it, you need to.  Sure there's a lot of flesh, but it's satisfying for both straights and gays! LOL.

Here is where the series picks up:

"On the heels of the bloody escape from the House of Batiatus that concluded "Spartacus: Blood and Sand", the gladiator rebellion continues and begins to strike fear into the heart of the Roman Republic in "Spartacus: Vengeance". Gaius Claudius Glaber and his Roman troops are sent to Capua to crush the growing band of freed slaves that Spartacus leads before it can inflict further damage. Spartacus is presented the choice of satisfying his personal need for vengeance against the man that condemned his wife to slavery and eventual death or making the larger sacrifices necessary to keep his budding army from breaking apart. Containing all of the blood-soaked action, exotic sexuality, and villainy and heroism that has come to distinguish the series, the tale of Spartacus resumes in epic fashion." - STARZ

You may recall Andy Whitfield left the series after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma about 2 years ago.  He has since passed away, but his legacy lives on in Liam McIntyre, the new actor who replaced him.

U.S. Olympic Swimmer Thomas Finchum

As I'm sure all of you know, every 4 years we elect a U.S. President there is a Summer Olympics to go with it, and this year is no exception.  The Olympics will be held in London this year, and I'm sure it's going to be absolutely fabulous!  I cannot wait!  

Swimming and Gymnastics are my favorite sports, hence the reason I can't wait to have a our favorite gay boy back in the spotlight, U.S. Olympic Swimmer, Thomas Finchum.  He is so yummy!

The Lazy Jedi

You Star Wars fans will love this.  Especially you lazy ones, because if you could you would. LOL.  

Master Dave just doesn't feel motivated today. With great power eventually comes great laziness.

I Quote That - Jerk Whisperer

Quoted: David Furnish on Madonna Receiving a Golden Globe

“I think it was a fluke. When this happens you have to question the integrity of the awards. Did Madonna get the Golden Globe because she attended the awards and agreed be a presenter? Can you sing Madonna’s song? Can you hum it? It’s a song nobody has heard, from a film few have seen. The award should have gone to Mary J. Blige or Elton. I like Madonna’s music, but not her movies. She should stick to what she is good at.”

– Elton John’s husband David Furnish after Madonna’s movie, “Masterpiece” won the Golden Globe for best original song over Elton’s movie, “Hello Hello.” (via Towerload)

Must Watch: Lionel Richie’s 'Hello' Re-Created with Movies

Seriously?  Who has time to do these videos? LMAO.  Remember that video I posted last week of President Obama singing Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"?  

Well... we're back for round two.  And this time it's Lionel Richie's "Hello" re-created with movie clips.  Check it out, it's pretty darn funny, but cool nonetheless.  Thanks for sharing Sean Hodges!

Back In The Day - Lego circa 1989

Wow, seeing this today really brought back memories.  Oh, how I loved my Legos, and I had this very box too!  I truly miss being a child.  Yes, I've grown wiser over the years, but it would be nice to go back in time just for a moment.

OMG Hilarious! - Drinking Problem

President Obama's Birthday Message to Betty White

I absolutely loved this when I saw it on Hardball last night. It was downright hilarious.  As most of you know by now, Betty White turned 90 yesterday.  The iconic "Golden Girl" celebrity was given a birthday wish from our President.  Check it out.  It's pretty funny.

If The World Were A Village of 100 People: Issue No. 20 - Energy

Wow, I have completed the series!   This is the 20th and final poster of my series "If The World Were A Village of 100 People".

For the past 20 weeks I have been blogging about these posters designed by Toby Ng, where he took statistics based on the spread of the population in the world today and translated those statistics into a town of 100 people.  So you'd ask yourself, "What if the world were a village of 100 people?" And these posters would answer that question in a much more simpler way.

In my humble opinion I think these posters were a great educational tool.  And they would be great to share with your kids or a classroom.
