Independence Day Thoughts and Links
Random Friday Thoughts on this July 4th Weekend as we remember the Punctured Balloon and his bevy of Vegas Hott:
So if “underground” artists Shepard Farey and Banksy got in a fight, which 1980s ironic image would win? Mike Tyson’s Punchout? Or the Commando poster?
“We got both kinds! Country and Western!” With all this Michael Jackson nostalgia over the past week, it’s time to remember the true genius of that time: John Landis. He altered my childhood the way a child molesting uncle might. Only instead of fondling my pubescent peepee, I laughed a lot.
I’m off to New Hampshire to hang with nature and pretend there never were forty different brands of spikey hair gel in every Rite-Aid. So here’s your abbreviated Friday Links:
Joey from The Real World: Hollywood now has his own website. You can Win a Day with Joey. Next week, you can “Help Joey Pay His Rent.”
Speaking of disposable celebs, Megan Fox and 90210 Douche are making a strong case for a 2009 Douchie Award.
I get that retro-nostalgia works on a twenty year roll, but do we really have to nostalgically recall Hammertime?
Ed Hardy now sells toys to kids, including a Remote Control Pirate Ship. I’m torn between lamenting the garishness of our cultural decline, and wanting it.
And finally, say what you will about her annoying pseudo-celeb status, but we gotta give it up to Kardouchian Ass Pear. From a silent aesthetic perspective, those mounds is glorious.
Go forth and celebrate!! It’s drinkin’ time.
