"Live and let live, but keep outta my way." - The Killer : November Magazine Rack
Blender
Random stuff from and inspired by a pretty cool mag (@ 83 cents an issue it's a deal) --
1) Norwegian Death Metal - the most hated music in the world.
When BOTH Ozzy Osbourne's family and Timbaland hate your sound, you've got nowhere to go. No wonder it never caught on.
2) John Ashcroft - The Music Man
This is a fake website about a real album. Oh God, me head hurt so bad.
3) Marvin Gaye sings the National Anthem at The Fabulous Forum back in '83 - Let's see Ashcroft top that.
4) Sick of this kid already! - Lady Sovereign got 2 1/2 stars from Blender for "Public Warning".
===============================
Details
No...I am NOT gay for reading Details. Fuck you.
From the Details BMI (Bureau of Misc. Info.) --
1) 5,000 -- Number of inmates in Manila who supposedly "volunteered" to have their heads shaved so that the hair could be used to help clean up an oil spill. Yeah, those lifers are always "volunteering" for stuff like that.
2) I dare you -- Heturnedshe.com
3) "Too big" or "too small". Definitely not "just right". -- The first successful penis transplant was detached after two weeks by surgeons because the recipient and his wife claimed "severe psychological problem(s)" with it.
4) I didn't spend a lot of time on the men's photos -- Details asks, "Idol" Face or O-Face?
5) A short interview with Larry King -- Details: "Howz it goin', Lar?" LK: "Probably the happiest I ever was was when the Dodgers won the '55 World Series.....The birth of my daughter - that was a moment." -- OK. So if you're keeping track of the standings, it's 51 year old baseball game Number Uno.....and birth of his child Dos.
============================
Vanity Fair
1) "Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me." -- F. Scott Fitzgerald
Man, I sure hope so, based on a dishy piece about "The Luce Family War." Here's the headline for the Vicky Ward story: "At 81, Leila Hadley Luce, widow of Time, Inc. heir Henry Luce III, is being sued for sexual abuse. In exclusive interviews, Luce, her daughters, and her granddaughter chart the disintegration of a family, in which money, madness, and drugs led to charges of attempted rape, incest, and betrayal." Yikes. The article paints an aged and deteriorating Leila Luce as quite the monster. Her kids discuss basically being pimped out by their mother to the creepy Henry, among other disturbing accusations. And Mrs. Luce presents as coldhearted and remorseless, excusing the allegations with the following quote: "(W)hat I was 30 years ago I am not now. All my life I have evolved. Have I done things of which I am not proud? Yes, I have. But I had a nervous breakdown." As noted by her children, Luce uses the word "I" an inordinate amount of the time (seven times in the above five sentences.) I pity her children.
2) "Red State Babylon" -- An article by James Wolcott discussing the hypocrisy of the whole Red State="Values" States myth.
-- States with the highest incarceration rate (as of 2003): 1) Louisiana 2) Mississippi 3) Texas
-- States with the most executions in 2004: 1) Texas 2) Ohio 3) Oklahoma
-- States with the highest rates of death by firearms in 2003: 1) Arkansas 2) Louisiana 3) New Mexico 4) Wyoming 5) Nevada 6) Alabama etc etc
-- States with the highest divorce rate in 2004: 1) Nevada 2) Arkansas 3) Wyoming 4) Idaho 5) West Virginia 6) Alabama 7) Kentucky 8) Oklahoma 9) Tennessee 10) Florida
-- States with the highest illegitimacy rates in 2003: 1) New Mexico 2) Louisiana 3) Mississippi
-- States with the highest rates of obesity: 1) Mississippi 2) Alabama 3) West Virginia 4) Tennessee 5) Louisiana .....Apartment404 didn't make this list since we are not considered a "state" by the federal government. We're working on that, though.
3) more Red State bashing - from "The REAL America - our Red-State Appeasement Section" --
"Rising fast in Petersburg, Kentucky, just outside Cincinnati, is the $25 million Creation Museum, due to open next year. Visitors will be able to see a 40-foot-tall re-creation of a section of Noah's Ark and stare into the jaws of robotic dinosaurs. In one dramatic presentation, two paleontologists, working on the same dino fossil in the very same field, will come to dramatically different assessments of the age of the bones -- and radically different views about the origins of our planet and of the human race. How will they resolve the question? Well, just go next door, to the Bible Authority Room, where, we are assured by the Web site, "'Paul explains God's authoritative word, and [proves that] everyone who rejects His history -- including six-day creation and Noah's Flood -- is 'willfully' ignorant."
