Remember, Always Shoot To The Head.



Call me a geek, but this must be one of the best pranks ever and is not even April's Fools Day yet. Some guys (or girls, I don't wanna be sexist) over Austin TX hacked various road signs to display messages like "Caution! Zombies! Ahead!!!" "Run For Cold Climates" and "The End Is Near !!!!!!!!!" It's like something you would see on the background of a Shaun Of The Dead scene

The hackers broke into the control unit of the road sings this monday and, after warning the Austin citizens about the undead, changed the computer password to make it a little harder to change the signs back. Some hours went by before the manufacturer of the signs could reset the password and display the original boring appropriate messages.

And even though some Austin drivers found the new warnings pretty amusing, the city council is not exactly thrilled about it. The police is investigating and the hackers could face a class C misdemeanor. But apparently is not very hard to tamper with those signs.

Big Business

One of my favorite non-gay blogs is Not Always Right, a collection of quotes from employees who have the courage to face the stupidity of some costumers and need to release form such stress by telling the world their storys.

One of yesterdays post made me laugh like very few had. And here it is

His Bigness Is None Of Your Business
FABRIC STORE | TEXAS, USA
Me: “Hello this is ***, *** speaking, how may I assist you?”

Customer: “Ah, hello. I was just wondering… you see, I run an adult dance club outside of town.You know, with male strippers and such.”

Me: “… uh huh.”

Customer: ”Well, we order our clothing through a store usually, on the internet. But I have a new man and we need some clothes for him and he’s… large.”

Me: “… uh… huh?”

Customer: “Well he… he’s very large.”

Me: “Um, well… what.. was your question?”

Customer: “Oh. Well, I was wondering what kind of fabric you might recommend for a someone in our business.”

Me: “Oh. Well, I would think something black. We have some see-through stuff. I might suggest a shimmer see through fabric. We have some of those…”

Customer: “Oh good, good. Well, how much fabric do you think we’d need?”

Me: “Well, it depends on his size. If you take some measurements, I can–”

Customer: “Well, the thing is… it’s his… his business. Can I tell you about his business…?”

Me: “Go ahead…”

Customer: ”He is 12 inches long and three inches wide. Three inches! Have you ever heard of such a thing!”

Me: “No, can’t say I have…”

Customer: ”Three inches wide! I didn’t even know they made them that wide. Do you know anyone like that? That long and that wide?”

Me: “Uh… well, my friend is… I’ve never seen him… but his girlfriend tells me he’s… exceptionally… long.”

Customer: “Oh? Your friend?”

Me: “Yes.”

Customer: “But you’ve never seen it?”

Me: *inwardly wanting to die* “No.”

Customer: “Would he be interested in exotic male dancing?”

Me: “Let’s focus on the fabrics. So you want to know how much you’ll need. Now, I can’t see you needing more than two yards in total. Probably less.”

Customer: “And that will cover his business…?”

Me: “That… will cover… his business.”

Customer: ”Because he’s big. Now your friend, how did you say you knew he was so big?”

Me: “Okay… you know what? I’m terribly sorry but my job isn’t to recruit my friends for an exotic dance club. Why don’t you measure your man, bring me the measurements and I will show you how much you need.”

Customer: “Now, is he a black man?”

Me: “Thanks for your call… goodbye.” *click*

NBC Says: No Veggie In Your Va-Jay-Jay

So, those crazy persistent guys from PETA got their Super Bowl Ad rejected by NBC. The network thinks the comercial "depicts a level of sexuality exceeding our standards". My theory is that they almost puked after watching it... but that's just me.



The list of shots NBC found too creepy inappropiate is
  • Licking pumpkin
  • Touching her breast with her hand while eating broccoli
  • Pumpkin from behind between legs
  • Rubbing pelvic region with pumpkin
  • Screwing herself with broccoli (fuzzy)
  • Asparagus on her lap appearing as if it is ready to be inserted into vagina
  • Licking eggplant
  • Rubbing asparagus on breast

I can imagine Super Bowl fans, with a hamburger on one hand a hot dog on the other watching the comercial and thinking "hhhmm... sex with veggie loving chicks or a good stake... hhhmm... yeah I'll stick to the meat and those impotence meds they keep announcing"

And don't believe everything that has been "shown by studies", after all 63.2% of statistcs are made up

Gay B C... (You Know The Rest Darling)

The next video is an art project that shows how "recruitment propaganda" for the so called "gay lifestyle" would look like.



From the video description

Right wing groups and the church argue that the very existence of gay publications and groups effectively advertise, glamourise and recruit people into the gay lifestyle.

They see it as 'recruitment propaganda'.
Which is of course rubbish.
This is an art project that explores what a recruitment campaign might look like...

Gay Alphabet poster charts coming soon.
