PSA: The Smurfs Are Racist!

who'da thunk it??

This convinces me there are people in the world who really don’t have enough to do with their time, and maybe should seek counselin’ and/or  medication.

Antoine Bueno is one of them.  The French sociologist has written a whole book, “Le Petit Livre Bleu” (“The Little Blue Book”) on the subject of ‘Smurf Racism’ (new term coined here!)

In it, he claims the lil innocent blue people are livin’ in a blue world packed with racial propaganda, a “totalitarian utopia, steeped in Stalinism and Nazism”.

Not the lil *blue* people???

Per Mr. Bueno, Papa Smurf is the dictator of the village; an authoritarian figure, and that their lack of private property and collective-style economy is a clear nod to socialism.   Meanwhile, their enemy seems Jewish: Gargamel, the monster that haunts the village, matches negative Jewish caricatures and his cat’s  name (the monster has a cat?)  is Azrael (and that means what?), the French author writes, while Smurfette, for a long time the only female in the village, is a blonde vision of Aryan perfection.

Get the f*ck outta here!

Actually, there were Black Smurfs. They were the sick ones; when the lil blue purple and red ones got stung by a fly (black at that!) they got sick, turned Black, and lost all trace of intelligence-went crazy.  ‘Completely moronic’ , in his words….they didnt even talk;  just made some crazy ‘gnap‘ sound.   US publishers refused to publish the first books for this reason.  Years later,  but before the animated series was developed in 1981, they were re-colored to purple.    The Purple Smurfs (original French title Les Schtroumpfs Noirs, literally The Black Smurfs) is the first album of the original French-language  ‘Smurfs’ comic series created by Belgian artist Peyo, first published in 1963.

The lil Black mofo’s do appear in the Black Forest level of “The Smurfs“  game for the Super Nintendo.  Just so you know…

And here I thought they were just innocent lil blue blockheads,  dancin’ in their innocent lil blue world…

Hollywood is not too happy about all this.  They are plannin’ a big budget 3D film about the Smurfs due for release in August.  Wonder how this will affect the bottom line…

*smh*

Ain’t life just grand?

Lindsay Who?

Who does Lindsay Lohan really , in real life, think she is?  An untouchable super hero?  Walkin’ with angels?

This broad has rejected a plea deal, I guess because it includes a lil time in the pokey.  So what else does she expect?

The broad has been in and out of trouble almost since her B-movie career began, always skatin’ just inside the lines and avoidin’  jail time.  Now its lookin’ like they tired of that,  and about to offer this bimbette some real time  in light of this grand theft charge.   And its gonna be a lot more that funky 13 days she spent in jail last year.

Looney Lindsay was already on paper when she took-yes I believe she took it; caught on tape!- that $25ThouWow necklace from the jewlery store.  And she’s facin’ assault charges for attackin’  a worker at Betty Ford while she was there on a ‘court ordered’ vacation.    Bet the judge really likes that…

The Infamous Piece

The courts don’t look lightly on your slappin’ them in the face after they gave you love.   And that’s just what this broad has done from day one.   House arrest, ankle bracelets, n’ shyt, when the average person would have been ‘violated’ on paper and sent to jail for at  least 6 mos to a year.  She got 13 days…

Now she’s waitin’  on a pre-lim.  Takin’ it to trial.  This is where she will surely get it socked to her dumb ass.   She’s pretty much guaranteed jail time.   And they gonna be mad that you wasted their time.   Guess she’s just puttin it off till the very last minute…  We shall see.

In other Pink News:  The owners of Kamofie & Co, the store she lifted the piece from, have announced that once the case is over (and the necklace is released from police custody) they will be auctioning off the infamous necklace and donating the proceeds to their own greedy wallets an unspecified charity…

Well…   Ok then.

Miracles DO Happen!

All 33 miners trapped underground for the last 68 days have been rescued ! 

This is truly a blessin’ from God.  In some many of these ‘collaped mine’ stories, the miners are almost always found dead, if at all. 

I can only imagine the mindset of these men, 33 of them,  cramped up in one lil area,  its hot and stuffy, livin’ on cans of tuna.  One of these men had JUST started workin’ for the mine 5 days before the collapse.   Of course, he has decided to find another line of work.

Then to travel that 2000 ft back to the surface of the earth.  I wonder what was goin’ thru their minds on that lil trip…

One good thing is that they will now increase the regulation of the smaller mining companies, which often have lower standards. Maybe prevent this from happenin’  again.  The next time,  the men may not be as lucky.    This could have easily  been another tragedy

Now that the smoke has cleared and the last man is back on the face of the earth instead of in her bowels, the fun doesn’t stop.  These men are now instant celebs.  There are hundreds  of  media requests, offers from book publishers, and even movie and TV producers hollar’n at them already.    The Chilean Mining Ministry has even erected a website to collect all the greetings and well-wishes that are comin’ from all over the world. 

One thing:  God is SURELY wonderful, and all praise be to him. 

I’m waitin on the  movie…

 

The Original -vs-The Rapper

Well, well, well…
We know Rick Ross, the rapper and we know Rick Ross, the notorious L.A. crack dealer sentenced to life with the Feds in 1996, but released in September after only  serving 14 years.   Well, seems these two are in bit of a tif.

This all started in 2006 when, Rick Ross (the Original) -real name Ricky Donnell Ross) sent Def Jam Records and Rick Ross (The Rapper)-real name  William L. Roberts II- a ‘cease and desist’ letter askin’ Rick Ross (The Rapper) to stop usin’ his name.   Rick Ross (The Rapper) and Def Jam allegedly igged the letter, and went on about their business.

Rick Ross (The Original) was released from prison in 2009, and made it crystal clear that not only was Rick Ross (The Rapper) usin’ his name, he was usin his rep as a drug dealer to sell records.

Rick Ross (The Original) and his legal team are plannin’ on filin a lawsuit, callin’ it, “The War Against the 4” (Def Jam, Universal, Roberts and more), “The Thriller of the Dealers”,  and “The ‘Real’ vs. the ‘Rap’ Deal.”

Guess Rick Ross (The Rapper) didn’t expect Rick Ross (The Original) to get out so soon…   And “Freeway” (real name Leslie Edward Pridgen) might want to look into gettin himself a mouthpiece.   

He might be next.

A movie about his (Rick Ross-The Original) life, written by producer Nick Cassavettes, is set for release next year.

J-Lo/Diddy Sex Tape?

Diddy’s previous relationship with J-Lo may soon come under lawyer scrutiny,  courtesy of a lawsuit filed by Lopez’s ex-husband Ojani Noa.

Ojani and J-Lo are emboiled in a court fight over his wantin’ to release of tape for use in his lil movie of  J-Lo kissin’ a woman and givin’ lap dance,  claimin’ it’s not ‘overtly’ sexual’.   J-Lo filed an injunction against the release claimin’ the tape is “personal and private.”

Where Diddy Comes In:  Ojani’s business manager wants Diddy to testify to the fact that “a sex the tape exists between him and J-Lo, to show the distinct difference between his clients footage and the Diddy/J-Lo tape“!

“We’re trying to prove that it’s not a ‘sex tape’ and therefore usable in Ojani’s movie.  We will ask: Is there a sex tape between Diddy and Lopez, and what does it involve?”

What. is .wrong. with. this. clown?  So let me get this straight:  He wants Diddy to admit to makin’ a sex tape with J-Lo (which would be his/they business-why tell the world?) and then tell everybody what’s on it?!

Is this a publicity stunt or something, PR for the lil movie he’s about to release?  Is he mad  J-Lo got it goin’ on and he don’t? Cause this is just as stupid as stupid gets, right here!

I bet Diddy and his lawyers are crackin’ up right now.
They got a court date on March 4th.  I hope they don’t really ask Diddy to testify.  I just can’t see him gettin on the stand and tellin’ all his (and her) business like that.  I’m hopi’n he just sit up there lookin’ serious, and tell the man he and J-lo NEVER made a sex tape, and do it movin’…

The Lovely♥Bones…       

The Lovely♥Bones -Alice Sebold

 

This is a truly awesome book and about to be made into an even more awesome movie!       

The story, a novel written by Alice Sebold in 2002,  is the story of a teenage girl who, after being murdered, watches from heaven as her family and friends go on with their lives, while she herself deals with the fact and the aspect of her own death.       

Susie Salmon is takin a shortcut home from school when she is approached by the neighbor weirdo,  George Harvey: mid-30′s, loner; builds doll-houses for a livin’, newspaper on the windows…   He lures her into some underground cavern shyt he built,  in a field nearby.    He rapes her,  and then cuts her up.     The only part of this lil gurl that was supposedly ever found was an elbow, and only because he dropped on his way from the jump-off…       

The story is also about the family; parents, her sister and lil bro, friends- and the things they went thru.  This baby is lookin down (and narratin’ the story) from heaven, as they go thru the investigation, her father’s suspicions ( he was the one that got on it first!), the madness of it all, and the eventual capture of this monster.       

I read this book in 3 days- and it took that long only coz- hey,  I gotta work.    I could not put it down.        

::Author, Alice Sebold::

 

It was that engagin’!   I’m tellin’ you- you need to get this!          

This man is exceptionally weird and bizarre; it’s just scary to think that someone like this could be livin’   and existing in your neighborhood…       

I don’t really ( normally!) do movies-usually wait for the DVD, but I might just do walk-in for this!~

I’m doin’ a Movie Review!

I dont normally do this-movie reviews, but today looks like I am.

Our of sheer borredom, , I went to the Redbox and got a few movies. I watched this movie (2009 version ) today in awe and hadda tell somebody bout it! . It was the best horror movie ( after being sorely disappointed by “Strangers“ after all the hype)) that I’ve seen in a long time.

I do recall the 1972 movie ( for which I paid money to go to the walk-in to see). What added to the adrenaline rush, was the fact that it was supposedly based on a true story. I’m still lookin for resources and references, and will holla back when I find some…

It was scary; scary for those times…

.The Remake~

This shyt here is off the chain!! The remake, of course will sometimes be better than the original, but this here, takes all prizes!

While being transferred to another facility, Krug (played by Garret Dillahunt) is busted out by his crew (brother and crazy gf) . The gurls meet Justin, the son of Krug, at a the mini-mart Paige works in. Talk soon turns to scorin weed, and the 3 end up and the hotel room Justin shared with his crazy dad, Krug, and the brother and gf mix. they come in and all hell breaks loose.

The brutal ,violent scenes were vivid; the anal rape of Mari Collingsworth, (played superbly by Sara Paxton) in the woods was eerily realistic. I found myself cringing at the every thrust, and the agonized look on that girls face was too much and too real…

I found myself cheering for Paige, the friend who essentially got them into this mess; that lil white gurl has fight and determination! She tried on many levels to escape, when someone else in that situ might given up. When they finally killed her , the her dying scene is as touching and realistic as anything you would imagine while reading the news. I do applaud Martha MacIsaac, the actress who played her ; she did a bang up job as well…

The good guys do prevail. Mari somehow survives being shot while swimming to freedom, and turns up at the family home, just as Ma and Pa finish administering too much Good Samaritan aid (if you ask me!), and eliminate the crazy perps one by one. To these creeps who happen to come to their door for the next crime spree.

I was emotinally exhausted after it was over. This movie was very well made indeed!

Worth a trip to the local video store or Redbox. (Did u kno u could reserve movies online, and them go pick them up at the nearest Redbox kiosk? Check Redbox.com for details!)
