Apple Has A Weak Spot For Dead Babies

Bad title? Oh well. Apple recently pulled an application called "Baby Shaker" off it's app store Wednesday. This comes just two days after it was released. The application is shown in the video below.

I don't know who thought of this but it's both disgusting and genius. Genius in the sense that this person will now have their name out there, disgusting in the obvious ways. I'm guessing it was one of those kids you knew when you were younger-the one who ate shit he clearly wasn't supposed to, the one who drank at like 11 (before you thought it was cool at 13), or this kid.

What Would Jesus Buy?-Not This

Last week I remembered I had 4 movies from Netflix sitting on my dresser and decided to return them after about a month of sitting there. The thing is I didn't remember to update my Queue so instead of getting the Shield like I wanted I received The Brave One (sucked), Capturing The Friedman's (looks decent), and What Would Jesus Buy?

The cover of What Would Jesus Buy? should say-"Not This Shit." The whole point of Reverend Billy and The Stop Shopping Choir is to stop the Shopocalypse. I can't make that bullshit up. They spend the month before Christmas traveling around the country to Walmart, Starbucks, Mall of America, and other places to try and get people out of their materialistic ways. Now I respect the message they're trying to convey but their methods and antics are annoying. They end up at Walmart headquarters trying to exorcise the giant sign outside. The dramatic ending (and yes I AM ruining it for you) takes place at Disney World where they try to break the ultimate stranglehold on America. It's a dramatic build up as the entire movie has Disney-like fonts when titles or captions are rolled on screen. Reverend Billy gets arrested and a cop/security guard tells him "this isn't private property, they can do whatever they want to you here" which makes you almost beg for a Jack Bauer style torture.

Here's a clip from their visit to Chicago on the WGN news (if you can call it news):

Pretend Princesses

I'll preface this post by saying it's going to resemble The GMG but I had to write it. Also that in no way do I believe I am perfect. On my way to work this morning I took notice of a trend I like to call "Pretend Princesses." Driving up 90 everyday I tend to pay attention to the road in front of me approximately 5% of the time and to the cars around me 100% of the time. I do this because I am bored, some would say looking for women*, and sometimes I'm so into the song I'm singing I need to move my head side to side.

Anyways I'm digressing. Today I noticed it more so than normal the Pretend Princesses. These girls are the ones you see that have the obnoxious fur coat, big hoop/diamond/dangling earrings, make up that I am led to believe dries and forms a traditional ceremonial mask for one tribe or another, AAAAAAAND the kicker-the sticker/license plate frame/mirror hanger that says PRINCESS. I'm all for taking care of yourselves ladies and that your husband/boyfriend should treat you like a queen or princess but the thing that would turn him off immediately is when you start acting like one. Ladies don't like guys that brag all the time and are cocky (different from confident) and guys don't like girls that are stuck up and full of themselves.

So in conclusion ladies be confident but don't call yourself a princess, that's just dumb. Princess Diana's motorcade never had a Princess bumper sticker anywhere on it.

*Some would be me, and if you haven't looked around you on the Chicago area expressways then you don't know what you're missing guys. I'm sure girls will even find it enjoyable.
