Zak Rockstar: August 2006 Archives

Somebody animated the Greatest Nancy Panel Ever.
Please, for your enjoyment:

Armor of God pajamas for the little crusader in all of our Children!

So some jackass in India decided he'd name his Restaurant "Hitlers Cross" and put up huge bilboards all around Calcutta advertising the place.
He was then very surprised at the backlash from the Jewish community.
The article claimed that INdians just don't spend a whole lot of time understaniding World War II and the Holocaust.
Hmmmmm.
You would think they mighta heard about something like that.

So I have to wear a tie to my job now.
And pants. (no, that does not necessarily go without saying.)
So I've been browsing the most ridiculous ties out there.
My theory is that nobody is going to say anything about how stupid your tie is if you wear it like there's nothing wrong.

Sarcastic Co-worker: "Nice tie."
Me: "Oh, thank you. My daughter gave me this."

I guess I just like to see them fluster over whether to pursue or explain their sarcasm.
It's the new cool.
Trust me.

The Vast untapped market of "Guns For Girls."

You have to see the site, movable type is doing this no justice here.

The most important thing to remeber from this story is: "Alligators view man as prey".
Always and without exception.
This is important to remmber perople!

strong>A tourist watches a crocodile from the safety of an underwater cage at the Cango Wildlife Ranch in Oudtshoorn, South Africa, Sunday, Aug. 13, 2006. Visitors are lowered in a specially designed croc-proof cage into a heated pool inhabited by five four-meter Nile crocodiles. The viewing is based on the same principles as shark cage diving the difference being that while sharks generally tend to treat humans with disdain, crocodiles see man as their natural prey.

100 posts on black greg in a little over six months. And this is how I celebrate it?
With the best Nancy comic strip panel ever drawn!
Thanks Boing Boing.

I'm thinking I could make a whole career paper trail with websites like this without ever having to have a pesky drug-fueled, rock n' roll career!

Awesomely crappy black metal bands.

Remember a couple years ago when congress voted to change the name of "French Fries" to "Freedom Frie"s because they were mad that France didn't think a war in Iraq was a good idea? (House cafeterias change names for 'french' fries and 'french' toast)
Yeah, well, they changed it back this week with very little fanfare and with their tails between their legs.

Several Republican staffers and lawmakers suggest that the change isn't worth investigating, unlike the eagerness in March 2003 to get into the headlines about patriotism on the menu.

This is the same congress that shot down a 25-cent increase in the minimum wage this week.
They don't want to talk about that one either.

I stumbled across an old friend of mine who has reared his head in the podcast world lately.
Mr. Jello Biafra.
No, I don't actually know Jello, but he and his music have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. In fact one of my first freelance stories was a review of a spoken word performance he did in Denver. It was the first time I heard the whole Dead Kennedy's indecency fiasco and it is in large part the inspiration for those "this album may contain offensive material" stickers that are on EVERY SINGLE ALBUM OUT THERE. (Wouldn't it be easier to assume all albums are offensive to someone and put CLEAN stickers on the few albums that couldn't possibly offend anyone? Tipper Gore, I'm looking at you here!)
Anyway, if you want a Dead Kennedy's history lesson go here .
All I wanted to say is that Alternative tentacles has a great Podcast out there for the download. Check it out. And tell tehm Zak sent you.

Here's the original FrankenChrist image that got Jello in deep shit with the feds. It is now posted in all it's glory on Amazon.com (where any sexual pervert can look at it if he/she so chooses) with a little caption asking you, the Amazon user: "Was this image helpful? Yes No"
Yes Amazon, yes this image was very helpful.

p.s. Jello, if you have a chance, please listen to black greg and tell me what you think.
It would kinda be an honor. zak@blackgreg.com

I'm not a huge fan of their music but I really like the OK GO's low-budget static videos.
There's something about grown men who know better doing silly choreographed dances.

Ihumpedyourhummer.com is videos of people, well... actually I think it's quite self-explanatory. But you kind of have to see it to believe it.
Basically anyone with a hummer can expect to be served.

Oh wait, I found one more: FUH2. There's a great short film on here too that I'll post when Youtube comes back up. (UPDATE: I Found It. It's above you dumbass!)
Wow, people are really tired of H2s.
That's great.
Can you imagine being a hummer owner and coming out and seeing somene spanking your hummer while pretending to have sex with it and filming the whole thing to put on the internet?
It is truly a brave new world.

I know they don't look all that tough, but I have a feeling these are rabbits not to be fucked with.

Have you ever been in a situation where you wished your cell phone would ring? Maybe you wanted to look extra important or popular on that hot date. Or maybe you just needed an excuse to escape from an unpleasant meeting.

I think it started as a joke and, well, some people need to get that phone call... no matter how fake it is.
So, so, pathetic.

He doesn't look drunk enough to go on a career-ending-anti-jewish-tirade in his mugshot here.
But who am I to say.
Maybe it has something to do with how he was brought up?
