Bernie Mac R.I.P. 1957-2008

August 9th, 2008 by intr0vert

Native son of Chicago, Comedian Bernie Mac died this morning from Pneumonia after dealing with a nasty bout of Sarcoidosis (scary shit). (Chicago Tribune Announcement) He was only 50. Besides how young he was it’s sad that the last news items on the Mac before he died were over some offhand Obama comments which were mostly just taken too seriously. It’s Humor, People. I know we have to save the country and all but remember that Comedians are here to make our lives better (except for maybe Andy Dick). J/K.

Thank you for being a friend… Estelle Getty R.I.P.

Estelle “Stop or my mom will shoot” Getty at 84 has passed on to that retirement community in the sky.

One summer when I was visiting my father in Colorado, he lived out on a ranch and if I didn’t go with him to the bars and honky tonks he used to play (they’d let kids hang out and play darts and drink cherry coke back then because they weren’t Nazis like they are now) then I would be back at the ranch playing Nintendo or watching T.V.

That summer I must have seen at least 80 episodes of The Golden Girls. I’m sure everyone agrees. It was a  Good fucking show. And the formula for Sex in the City: 4 old bats in Florida, who knew?

It was funny that she was actually one of the younger members of the cast, playing the oldest. I think Sofia taught us a lot about living for today. Cause tomorrow it could all be over. Thanks, Estelle.

R.I.P. George Carlin 1937-2008

June 23rd, 2008 by intr0vert

Shit. George Carlin has passed. Comedian, Philosopher, Enemy of Censorship - This is how George Carlin should be remembered.

George Carlin

Piss. This morning on Indie 103.1 comedian Patton Oswalt said not to be sad for the loss of George Carlin because he would have hated people crying over his death instead of celebrating his life. I think we profane loudmouths have a lot to thank Mr.Carlin for. Carlin, Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce were perhaps the 3 most important people to ever take on the conventions of “Decency” and what is considered “Profanity”. Because of them we have freedom in media and this here internets to say whatever the Fuck we want.

Cunt.

Cocksucker. In his 5 decades of comedy he produced 23 albums, won 4 grammys and wrote 3 bestsellers. If you haven’t checked out his 14 HBO specials, I recommend you do so.

Motherfucker. He and my Dad have the same birthday…the day after mine. And for fucks sake, he was Rufus.

Tits.

Weekly Trashing: Charlton Heston is DEAD!

April 6th, 2008 by intr0vert

Be sure to cut this one’s head off. Because if 2-gun Chuck ever comes back from the grave he’ll be armed; and that would make a very dangerous zombie.

2 Buck ChuckI’ve seen websites eulogizing the 84-year-old actor as a beacon of “liberty” but I think thats pretty fucked up. I’m all for us as a society having guns, but there are fucking limits. Most Republicans SHOULDN’T have the right to own guns, they aren’t going to use them if their government needs to be taken down anyway. And isn’t that the reason its in the Bill of Rights anyway? These NRA psychos are the assholes who put the current government into power. Thanks a lot Charlton Heston. douche. I’m going to start the Guns for Liberals program. Our motto, “The Left To Bear Arms”. Fuck I’m Clever.

So he was a good actor up until 30 years ago, its sad that we can’t remember that because him being a soulless looney gun homo has overshadowed any achievement in film… except in Bowling For Columbine. Oh sweet nectar, if you haven’t seen this movie then go out now and rent it, download it, borrow it from a liberal friend because it is amazing portrait of our gun crazed society and American hypocrisies in general. At the end Charlton Heston is confronted by Michael Moore with a photo of a kid that died in direct result of the gun-douchery that Heston promotes. There is no answer for what you say in that situation so old Moses-balls gets up and walks away. Good thing he was too stupid to know who Michael Moore was. He was probably just happy that someone was talking to him.
