Michael Jackson - My Final Stance

I just got finished watching the controversial documentary, "Living With Michael Jackson" by the reporter Bashir. In it Jackson talks about his admiration for the Elephant Man (not the reggae singer) and how he can relate to him. Michael Jackson was our generations Elephant Man. A freak show, a walking car accident that the world could not look away from. And as recluse as he was, Jackson needed the admiration to make up for the lack of love from his father. He played into the role of sideshow with outrageous behavior and a carefully created "Peter Pan" character. (The voice, the costumes, Neverland Ranch... all in "character") For a while this character was beloved and raised by the Hollywood system to the highest levels. Then, as with most stars, the system crumbles you down after you have "peeked" and destroys you. The Jackson character went from "cute" to "creepy" and Jackson's behavior became more erratic and bizarre to try and gain back the adoration. He surrounded himself with enablers and leeches who encouraged this behavior and allowed him to spend in excess, get his hands on numerous drugs, and continue massive plastic surgery. It was also at this time money hungry parents realized they could use their sons to milk the fallen star of all he was worth with lawsuits. The same parents who allowed their children to sleep in bed with him when he was successful quickly changed their tune when the fame started to decrease. Rats are the first to abandon a sinking ship.

Michael Jackson represents the American Dream and the American Tragedy. He is probably one of the most unique and interesting human beings to have ever walked the earth. No one can deny his level talent, but many of his off stage antics took away from it. With Jackson it was very hard to separate the man from the artist, but the artist is undoubtedly one of the greatest of all time. It is hard to not feel bad for this man, a man robbed of his childhood. As soon as he died I thought of a quote from Hunter S. Thompson; "Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die."

Living with Michael Jackson

Watch the shopping spree! It starts at about 4 minutes in... Unbelievable. He must spend about 20 million in a matter of minutes.

R.I.P Billy Mays

For whatever reason some people come off as genuine nice guys. One of these people was Billy Mays. He always seemed like someone who was very happy with life and a ball of energy.  He didn't take himself seriously and relished in his role as overly loud spokesman. He was able to poke fun at himself and have fun while doing. Rest in Peace Bill Mays.

IMO Vince Carter is the greatest dunker to ever play in the NBA. This is one of my favorite dunks of all time. To me, the slam dunk contest is cool, but misses the true essence of a dunk. A dunk is to humilate another player... to physically dominate them. I'm not really big into the flips and spins and shit, I'm into the force and anger of a dunk when someone throws it down. No one did that better then Carter. And what makes this video even better is that Carter almost punches Garnett in the face afterwards. When I see a dunk like that I can just hear Marv Albert from the glory years.... "John Starks with an emphatic dunk!"

Get Out My Business

Remember when Jackson did this......fuck it. No Jackson here but equally as good... "Cause I'm getting tired of you keep tellin' me what the fuck I'm doin every time I'm doin somethin!"

MJ Tribute

Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal

When I was a kid I just thought this was the coolest video ever. This is the video that I most tried to emulate. I wanted to be this smooth guy wearing a cool hate that could just glide across the floor. When they lean forward and go back to standing normal.... I nearly broke my ass attempting that dance move. Jackson also taught me how to grab my crotch and scream.... he didn't like physically teach me.

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean

One of my favorite videos of Jacko. This is probably my second favorite MJ song, my top song being "PYT".

R.I.P Jacko

I now declare it Michael Jackson week here at "The Voices".... all posts will be Jacko related.

Wendy's New Boneless Wings

Time for some Random Ramblins....

- How amazing is that new banner on top? I was heavily intoxicated one night and messing around with some program. I don't remember too much else but there it was the next morning. That font is a custom font called "Boycott" and I'm thinking of using it for the title font of my film.

- I'm going to start watching every season of "The Soprano's"... its about that time once again. This is one show that really improves on every continued viewing. When you watched it live you were too concerned with plot progression and who was getting whacked to notice some of the finer details.

- John Carpenter is an AMAZING director. People might not give me the credit he deserves because he dwelled mainly in the "horror/thriller" genre and some of his stuff was campy, but damn if his stuff was not entertaining. "The Thing" and "They Live" are two of my favorite films, and i just recently realized the genius of "Halloween". That film set the format/template for all horror films... even these pieces of crap that are breaking the box office today.

- The new "Ghostbusters" game exceeded all my expectations. It is much better then I expected.

- Transformers 2 just came out.... Yawn.  Actually I take that back... the first one is a pretty good blockbuster... it is not however a film that needed a sequel.  I am really amped for "Public Enemies" and I should of went and seen "Up" and "Star Trek" in the theatres... I regret that. However, for me... the best possible viewing is on my laptop, with it on my chest close to my face, and my headphones on. That is how I really digest a film and notice every intricate detail and sound. I'm not too big on audience interaction with laughs and what not and wouldn't mind a headphone option at the theatre... maybe my hearing just sucks.

- What?! Wendy's now has boneless buffalo wings and chicken teryiaki! I get way too excited for new additions to fast food menus. Wendys added that buffalo chicken sandwich (the one dipped in hot sauce) which I loved as much as my crack, and then it was gone within a week. Here is a review of these new "wings"...

The “Bold Buffalo Boneless Chicken Wings” are the worst-tasting thing I have ever eaten at any fast food restaurant in my lifetime. The overbearing, vinegary pepper sauce was otherwise thin and too sugary. It destroyed the taste of the chicken in a way that the capsicum alone could never do. It nearly made me ill. The sauce was so utterly horrid that for hours I wondered, seriously, if it contained nothing other than vinegar, extract of Charleston hot pepper and corn syrup. It was Tabasco Sauce and Karo Syrup, but with more vinegar. Yeccchhh!

Hmmm... sounds good. How can it not be when a review ends with "Yecccchhh". Heres the thing tho... for 7 pieces of these "wings" they charge 4 bucks. For 1 buck I can get 5 nuggets. Hmmmm. I rather buy 20 nuggets and smother them in good hot sauce. I outsmarted you Dave Thomas.. you cunt bastard! Rest in Hell!  Speaking of new fast foods items, i wonder how that KFC grilled chicken is. I see that being advertised the fuck out of. I don't know one person who has tried it, same goes for the pizza hut pasta. I am however am tempted by the Dominos pasta bowl.  If I went to a fancy Italian restuarant and after eating the pasta some motherfucker popped out and told me it was from Pizza Hut, I would sue their ass. How can they really do that without the "patrons" signing a consent form beforehand. What if someone was allergic to Pizza Hut and happened to die? All this fast food talk reminds me of the McDonalds Arch Deluxe. I will never forget because I was a kid and it was marketed as being for grown ups only. How could a food item be for grown ups only? Was it drenched in booze? That was gone in a second too. I can't really think of a newer item added to a fast food menu that has succeeded. BTW: Here is a real review of the Dominos bread bowl from someone named Nathan on some site...

"I got the chicken alfredo bread bowl from dominos and it is delicious and great. My friends had a bug in it but she loved it until that was found. No bug in mine so yummy."

Does anyone else remember this thing called the sun? It was big, and bright, and yellow, and wore sunglasses and had a huge toothy grin. Seriously, I feel like it has been raining for the past 40 days.... am I in NY or friggin Seattle? I think sunshine will be a thing we tell our grandkids used to exist... we basically fucked the ozone layer.

who knows what the fuck that is... but it just might have mindfucked me for the rest of my life.

NBA Championship

Lakers won the championshi.....ZZZZZZZZZ.... Phil Jackson won his 10th NBA Cham.... SNORE.... Kobe Byrant proved he coulf win without..... SNORE... ZZZZZ... 

I never thought I would say it but the NHL Finals were a million times better then the NBA Finals. The Magic had no business being there and basically Cockblocked the nation out of Lebron vs. Kobe.  It was so boring I will not waste anymore time talking about it....

Lets talk about "The Soup" television shows. I'm sure you know about "The Soup" on E! which is a take off of "Talk Soup". "The Soup" makes fun of reality shows. Did you know however that there are 2 more soups? Yup. On Versus there is a "Sports Soup" and on G4 there is a "Web Soup" which shows various internet clips. They are all carbon copies of the original formula and are damn near identical. "The Soup" is still the best.

Wow. Its much better to piss in a fake golf club and carry it around for 18 holes then to just piss in the bushes for a couple of seconds and be done with it. It doesnt look suspicious when a gold club is hanging from your dick with a towel over it. What if a friend doesnt realize its a golf club filled with piss and uses it and swings for the fences. It would then pop open releasing urine all over the golfer...actually this might be a really good product after all.

Crying Number

What do you hear when you call this number? The sounds of rape? Rhianna songs? David Carradine being tied up? The score of the Mets game? Favre un-announcing his retirement? Gay sex?

Someone try dialing it... I cant afford no 2 dollars a minute in this Recession times.

Man... the details around Da

vid Carradine's death just keep getting stranger and stranger. When I first head the news I had no idea who the hell he was. Then I saw a pic of him and realized he was the guy from "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues" which was aired 24-7 in reruns on TNT. What I didn't know about Mr.David is that he was a sexual deviant. There is no other word to describe him.... when you are found hanging dead tied up wearing fishnet stocking and a wig while a rope is tightly around your Johnson you might just be a sexual deviant. That is going to be my new stand up comedy routine... I'm going to be like that guy who does the "you might be a redneck if..." but mine is going to be, "you might be a sexual deviant if...". "You might be a sexual deviant if you have watched and appeared on "To Catch a Predator" on the same day."

Anyway new details are emerging, and Mr.David certainly knew how to party....

"TMZ reports seeing what appears to be fishnet stockings covering the body and red women's lingerie on the bed. And the man purported to be Carradine may have been wearing a dark wig."

Ifyouaregaysaywhat?! His ex wife also said there was an evil dark side to him... and that he also may have been banging his daughter or niece. Wow this guy was truly fucked up. What I dont understand is why were his hands tied above his heads when he obviously intended to jerk off? If both hands were tied his head how did he manage to tie a noose around his neck and a rope tightly around his penis. Maybe there is some validity to the claim that he was murdered by a group of underground kung fu ninjas.... ninjas who kill someone and then tie up their genitals and dress them up as a woman. What the fuck kind of ninjas are this?! I thought ninjas threw smoke bombs and shit, not this S&M shit. Here is a pic from the scene of the crime... apparently not one but two Easter Bunny's were there and a Oompa Loompa.
