Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me.

Must Watch: Cold Star

In one of the most bizarre short films I have ever seen, this music video/short movie is a "hybrid that connects the emotions of a short with beats and lyrics of music. The film is an appeal for acceptance of your own and others sexual identity," according to it's YouTube description.

This short film premiered at several GLBT film festivals, and immediately received standing ovations all around, and rightly so.  While the video is different, it is meant for inspiration.  Everything about it is amazing; The acting, the music, the photography, but most importantly the incredible message it conveys.  It's all about tolerance, being who we are and accepting it.
The religious right are already out in masses condemning the video, but like I always say, "See you in hell bitches!"

DC Showcases New Superman...

...and boy is he Super! I'm totally digging his new costume; I think Zack Snyder should re-think his costume idea, and add a red belt like in this comic. 

I know I questioned the red underpants being gone in the new movie, Man of Steel, but if they added a red belt it would be perfect!

100 Years of Fashion, Dance and Music

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...

War of the Roses - Stephanie & Will

Today's War of the Roses was hilarious, but ohhhh so good.  If you have never listened to this segment, I highly recommend it.  It's been one of my favorite morning shows since I started listening to Roula & Ryan 7 years ago.

I suggest you read up on my first issue, here - I wrote a detailed description on how "Roses" actually works.

In this morning's call, Roula took on the fictional role of Pam from Plants and Flowers, Inc.

Today's war was especially funny because the caller, Stephanie, mentioned she had come across a picture her friend Jennifer posted online.  It was a picture of her best friend Anna and Stephanie's boyfriend, Will.  

Curious as to why Stephanie would want to play a ruse on her boyfriend when all she saw was a picture, Roula & Ryan asked her to email it to them so they could judge for themselves.  Due to the legal ramifications, Roula & Ryan are not allowed to show actual photos of the caller or the accused, so Ryan took it upon himself to do an artist's rendition, and omg it was all I could do to keep from laughing.
Stephanie states that her boyfriend of 2 years has been cheating on her with her friend of 6 years, Anna.  She says that two weeks ago she took a trip to Austin, TX to visit her family while her boyfriend stayed behind to attend a pre-arranged pool party her friend Jennifer was hosting.  Well, the weekend was over, and her friend Jennifer posted pictures from her party online.  In one of the pictures she spotted her boyfriend in the background with her friend Anna, cuddling and gazing into each other's eyes.  Stephanie also says that out of all her friends, Anna is the one who is the prettiest and funniest of the group, but also the most flirtatious and most "loose" of her girlfriends. LOL.

Over the past several days, Will has been kind of cold, always on the computer, and Stephanie doesn't know what to make of it. She truly believes he's cheating on her with Anna and figured doing the "Roses" was the only way she could make herself confront him.

After looking at the picture, Roula & Ryan are convinced Will has some 'splaining to do.  After sharing their thoughts they explain the rules of the "War" to Stephanie and ask her again if she really wants to go through with this, because regardless of the outcome, her boyfriend will learn why he was tricked on a radio station.

So how does the battle end?  Does Will send Stephanie flowers?  Or is there another woman?

the war rages on....

Isn't This The Truth? Birthdays

Remember the times we used to have huge birthday parties and get lots of presents? I know I did;  I remember having these huge birthday parties when we would go visit grandma, and all my cousins would come over. And I had lots of cousins! 

Gone are those days. Today it's all about how many notifications we get.... Isn't this the truth?


Our Future Is In Their Hands - Take 4

We've been put through test after test our entire lives, yet when these kids can't figure out the difference between 2 separate crackers and 1 cracker broken in two pieces, these kids are unintelligent.  At least this is what most YouTube comments are indicating.  I, personally don't think this makes them stupid or ignorant.   We all said stupid things when we were kids - WE WERE KIDS!

Then again... our future is in their hands...


You Tube Comments:
  • Good, so we can continue to pay women less as long as we spread the money out a little bit.
  • This is an example of basic developmental milestones. Every single person commenting on and watching this video has gone through the same process and at one point would have had the same answers. It's not a question of intelligence. What is a question of intelligence is how there are so many people here who do not understand this basic concept.

Are People Really This Stupid?

Imagine lying on a couch on your 17th birthday after a full day of partying and celebration.....

Now imagine yourself a few hours later running through the house on fire, literally.

It probably wouldn't be a pretty picture, right?  Well... Matt-Dillon Shannon of New Zealand begs to differ.   He thought it would be a wonderful gift idea to douse his friend with gasoline and set him on fire.  That's right, he allegedly poured gasoline over his friend and set him aflame.  Of course this is his story...
"We were just sitting in the lounge and all of a sudden somebody's running through on fire".

"I didn't see it happen, he was in my bedroom and came running into the lounge," [Shannon] told the newspaper.

The partygoers panicked and tried to put out the fire, which had flames jumping above Hayden's shoulders, catching the bottom of his hair, he said.
Shannon's friend, Hayden Calder, left the house with serious burns to his back neck and spent a week in a local hospital recovering from his injuries. Well no shit!  Are people really this stupid?  Unbelievable! What kind of person would do this to a 16-yr-old, and much less a friend?  This poor kid now has to endure the pain and humiliation of being physically and emotionally scarred for the rest of his life. I hope he gets through this okay. 

Shannon, on the other hand, has been charged with "wounding with intent to cause grevious bodily harm."  Eye for an eye, maybe??? Geez.

What would happen if...

I shit you not, I just finished typing "what would happen if " with a space after "if" and this is what Google came up with.  I took this screenshot just now. 

You should try it.  I swear, some people search for the weirdest shit.

LMAO! What would happen if I poured self-raising flour on an orphan?  I'm ROFL - this is priceless!

Another Republican Outed... And This Time on Grndr!

No, this is not Arango, you horny bastards!
I'm sure you've heard the story, or read about it online... 

Another Republican who supported and campaigned for President George W. Bush, and was an opponent of gay rights was caught with his pants down.  

And it wasn't something to brag about either, "You know I've been losing weight. As I shed that weight, I've been taking pictures." Roberto Arango explains.
  
Mr. Senator was caught showing himself on the popular gay iPhone app Grndr, bending over, with his ass cheeks spread apart.

You remember the iPhone application that I mentioned in a post back on July 2nd?  Well, Mr. Arango likes to either a) hook-up with dudes or b) show his butthole to dudes; either way you look at it, he's been outed!

All he has to do now is make like Republican Senator Larry Craig, and say, "let me be clear, I-am-not-gay, I never have been gay... I am not gay."

You gotta love hypocrites, they only prove what we've said all along...  YOU WERE BORN THAT WAY!!!

Gay Ski Camp - Episode 5

It seems SameSame.com.au wanted to prolong the season by releasing its videos over the course of three months.  I wasn't too happy with the way the show was put together - it seemed a bit rushed, and to close out the season by releasing a 3-1/2 minute video was mediocre at best.

While the boys were hot, I felt they could have posted all 5 episodes into one - at least it would have made it more enjoyable.

At the end of episode 4 we were left with Dan and Kirk competing for the title of Gay Ski Camp Champ.  If you missed the previous episodes, or want to see them again, you can catch episode 1 here, episode 2 here, episode 3 here, and episode 4 here.

OMG Hilarious! - The Offensive Translator

Seriously... If you're having a bad day, don't want to be bothered, people annoy you, or you simply just want to get away.   This video will make you laugh, and laugh, and laugh!  OMG, this was f--ing hilarious!

Ryan James Yezak Does Febreeze and It's Absolutely Fabulous!

I saw this video several days ago, and in my opinion, it was the most fabulous one!  Yes, I'm partial to it's creator, Ryan James Yezak, because I love his work, and I hope that by posting this video on my blog whoever comes across it will vote.  
Go ahead and do it now.  You can log-in using your facebook log-in and help Ryan James Yezak win Febreeze's dance video contest for the month of August.  If he wins he will take home a $1,000 Grand Prize, and at the end of the year as part of the top 7 finalists he will compete in a dance-off competition worth $5,000!

So c'mon... it only takes a few seconds... vote and help Ryan win.


What a Hot Mess: Dancing With The Stars Releases It's List of "Has Beens" and "Never Were" Contestants

Seriously?  What the hell is going on with ABC?  Did they drink a bottle of Jack Daniels, and play a few rounds of strip poker to come up with this hot mess?  No.  Really?  Did they sit around and talk about what slut or ho was going to take the crown this season?  

OMG, and then you ask why Ryan and I stopped watching this god-forsaken show!  Once Julianne Hough left, it became a fucking joke!  Or better yet, an outrageous nightmare!

First you have Carson Kressley - the most flamboyant, loud-mouthed gay on all the planet and Chaz Bono - the first "I'm a lesbian," then "a chick with a dick," and now, a she who made herself a he.  Too fucked up?  Well.... cough, cough... you haven't heard nothing yet...

Next... you have Nancy Grace, the self-appointed former lawyer who can put a laughing-hyena to shame.  If I wanted to watch a screaming lunatic dance for her life (oh wait, that's So You Think You Can Dance..oh well), I would watch Lion King while on crack.  The bitch still dreams and screams of revenge for Casey Anthony.

Okay, okay... I do like Ricki Lake, we all know she's taking that stupid mirrored-disco-ball trophy home.  I mean c'mon... Hairspray, Helloooooo??? 

I also like Chynna Phillips from the group Wilson Phillips but really... did they have to add David Arquette?  What a hot fucking mess!  And why do we need another Kardashian - Rob, really?  I've had enough of that annoying family! 

Finally, JR Martinez, he's an Iraq war veteran, enough said.  Well... he did become a soap star, and that's the only messy thing about him that I could think of.

I don't really know too much about the other "never were" contestants in this lineup, but here you go...  Ron Artest, Kristin Calamaris, Hope Solo, and Elisabeta Canalis.

God bless all of you who are watching this hot mess, because it's definitely a list of "has-beens" and people who "never were."
