Some brief thoughts on the Funky Cold Medina…
- Tone asks the popular guy at the bar what his secret is, and he immediately tells him about FCM. THIS GUY IS OBVIOUSLY A DEALER. Any other guy would have attributed his popularity to his innate charm, great job, or huge dick. Only a dealer—and a skeezy fucking dealer at that—would admit to using a date rape drug so freely.
- Obvious candidate for testing a date-rape drug? Yep, the dog. Who apparently becomes the canine version of the skeezball at the bar—”now all the poodles run to my house for the funky cold medina”.
- Tone’s next try with the FCM nets a human—Sheena. But wait, Sheena’s actually a man. For those of you keeping score at home, the FCM has netted Tone-Loc sexual encounters with his dog and with a cross-dresser of some sort. THIS DOESN’T STOP TONE-LOC.
- Tone-Loc, desperate for a date, goes on the classic ’80s game show, The Love Connection. The date seems to be going well, until the date starts talking about marriage. FUCK NO, says Tone-Loc. And that’s what causes Tone-Loc to stop playing around with FCM. Not the bestiality, or accidentally fooling around with a cross-dressing dude, it’s THE GIRL WHO WANTS A RELATIONSHIP. That is the shit you just don’t fuck around with.

Killing it.
The internet is srsly killing it today. Allow me to demonstrate:
- http://youtu.be/8T9VRexl0RI — Wu-Tang for kids!
- http://youtu.be/g8OZsJokBB0 — Newt should always be covered in glitter.
- http://textsfrompawnee.tumblr.com/ — God, this is beautiful.
- http://www.fox.com/programming/shows/?sh=new-girl — So, I’m totally going to watch this, 1). because I’m a sucker for Zooey Deschanel, and 2). because I’m a sucker for Zooey Deschanel. But the character descriptions are horrifyingly hilarious, in all the wrong ways.
- http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/science-and-not/the-real-reasons-why-our-healt.html — Wonderful infographic. Relevant, important stuff.
- http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Making-a-difference/Change-Agent/2011/0517/Panera-Bread-lets-diners-pay-what-you-can — I love articles that prove that society doesn’t run exclusively on profit margins.
You’re welcome.

Link: Jim David: How Many Teens Have to Die Before Focus on the Family Gives a Damn?
Another teenager killed himself because of bullying and anti-gay harassment. This one was in Minnesota, and his name was Justin Aaberg. The local news report is here. School officials, wary of conservative protests, did nothing.
This comes on the heels of the suicide of another teenager in Indiana, one who never actually said whether he was gay but who was mercilessly harassed nonetheless. His name was Billy Lucas. The local news report is here. Again, school officials did nothing.
Eleven-year-old Jaheem Herrera of Atlanta hanged himself with a belt. His mother had complained to the school authorities about the bullying he endured, but they did nothing. Seventeen-year-old Eric Mohat of Mentor, Ohio killed himself after being called “gay,” “fag,” “queer” and “homo,” and after a student said, “Why don’t you go home and shoot yourself? No one will miss you.” Eleven-year-old Carl Hoover of Springfield, Mass., hanged himself with an extension cord. School officials did nothing.
These are just the ones who lately made the news.
Focus on the Family, a right-wing lobbying group that fronts as a religious organization, pays lip service to the bullying issue, but wants no mention of homosexuality in schools because it might encourage kids to be gay — this in spite of the fact that the vast majority of bullying is directed at teens who either appear to be gay or are actually out, not those who are fat or wear glasses.
If Focus on the Family thinks that the mere mention of the topic will prompt impressionable children to suddenly turn gay, they need to immediately see a neurosurgeon. They do anyway, but that’s a another story.
Same for the Family Research Council, a right-wing lobbying group that fronts as a religious organization that purports to be helping families, but does nothing to help families with gay members in them. In fact, they’re part of the problem; in the guise of fighting a “gay agenda” in the schools, they help to make the actual problem worse.
School officials, running scared from screaming religious fanatics and conservative parents who have bought into the lies of Focus and FRC, are afraid to actually address the issue. Sometimes school officials are religious fanatics themselves. It’s the same with teen pregnancy. By merely saying “abstinence only,” they do nothing to help teens, who are going to be sexually active whether school officials like it or not, make sane choices. There’s a reason why teen pregnancies are highest in the most conservative, religious states. But don’t take my word for it; look it up.
Focus on the Family, Family Research Council, and similar groups don’t actually give a damn about these kids or their families. They couldn’t care less how many of them are beaten within an inch of their lives or actually take their own lives. What matters to them is power, influence, and promoting an extreme religious agenda to help them hang on to said power and influence. They are deathly afraid that some of the kids might not grow up to be as bigoted as they are.
The facts are that when schools actually mention sexuality, bullying goes down. It’s been proven time and time again. When schools say some generic thing like, “Uh, leave other kids alone for any reason, please,” it makes no difference whatsoever. Kids need to be told these things explicitly. They’re kids.
The documentary For the Bible Tells Me So includes first-person testimony by a mother who raised her gay daughter according to the teachings of Dr. James Dobson, former head of Focus on the Family. The daughter killed herself. Dobson, of course, said nothing.
Lost in the hysteria of Quran-burning and mosque-building is the clear and present danger to our youth, and society in general, by these American “religious” organizations, their teachings, their agenda and their political influence with equally insane right-wing politicians, who callously turn away when the clear evidence of the atmosphere they help create manifests itself. In the name of Almighty God, they are evil. How about some good old Tea-Party-type energy directed against these people?
What’s the difference between the Taliban and the Focus on the Family? About 7000 miles.
Just… I can’t add anything. This is all heartbreaking.

You would never, not in a million years, see a major pop star launch into a revenge song called “Ur So Asian” or “Ur So Disabled.” That would not and should never happen. But it is still somehow acceptable for a Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum selling major recording artist to sing a song like “Ur So Gay” in revenge as “the crowd cheered and howled in laughter.”
Yeah, not awesome. Some will say we’re too sensitive, to lighten up. Katy has supported gay rights. She played at the Dinah. She has tons of gay friends. Also, remember, she kissed a girl and she liked it. Well, at the very least she liked the record sales. All those things are good, but language still matters.
We live in a country where it is still legal to fire people for being gay in 29 states. We live in a country where gays and lesbians are still not allowed to openly serve their country in the military. We live in a country where the federal government will still not allow you to marry the person you love if he or she happens to be of the same sex.
We also live in a world where 9 out of 10 LGBT kids get harassed at school. We live in a world where LGBT youth are four times more likely to attempt suicide than their straight counterparts. We live in a world where a third — a third — of all LGBT youth have attempted suicide.
And do you know where that all starts? Do you know what they’ve all been called? Do you know what you can hear today in any high school hallway? “You’re so gay!”
Words matter. How you use them matters. It trickles into our subconscious and colors our view of the world. It matters to the gay teen struggling with her identity who feels frightened and alone in this world. It matters to me, it should matter to you.

Watch: Band of Horses Perform at Wedding - “Marry Song”
Per a description below this video (via So Much Silence), Njal and Elin, a couple from Norway who got engaged at a Band of Horses concert in Oslo earlier this year, sent their story along to Ben Bridwell and Co. ahead of their wedding date, which happened to coincide with the band’s slot at Dognvillfestivalen in Tromsø, Norway.
With all the coincidences surrounding the wedding, the band said, “What the hell” and decided to surprise the couple. The band showed up minutes after landing in Tromso to play “Marry Song” at their ceremony.
Now I’m not sure which is more adorbs: Bridwell hugging Eddie Vedder or giving the thumbs up to a couple just before their vows. [Permalink]
holy fucking adorbs, batman.

History never seems to be on Conservatives’ side. Oh that’s right, because they are consistently wrong about everything.

Doctordude - Tik Tok Together (Ke$ha vs The Beatles)
Yes, this exists. And now it’s in your life. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if you want to hug me or shoot me, but in all honesty I kind of.. love it?
When I listen to this, I feel like John Lennon’s ghost is about to walk up and beat the ever-loving shit out of me, and I would completely deserve it. But for some reason, that doesn’t stop me from loving it.

Kanye West, Bon Iver Talk Collaboration
Back in January of last year, Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon seized the moment in which Auto-Tuned jams ruled the pop charts by recording a decidedly shtick-less a cappella closing number with the pitch-bending software for his Blood Bank EP. As it turns out, the rumors Stereogum reported the other day were true: the song, “Woods” (stream below), caught the ears of Auto-Tune fiend Kanye West, and now Justin Vernon is officially on Ye’s next record.
“I called [Justin Vernon] and we ended up becoming like really good friends, playing basketball together everyday, and going into the back studio and just record his parts,” West revealed to Rolling Stone. “He’s similar to me, like where he just does shit just so people would be like, ‘Oh shit how did you do that? How did that happen?’ He’s just a really cool guy to be around.”
“Fuck, this is going to be the festival closer,” West said of their song, “Lost in the World,” according to an interview just posted at Pitchfork, in which Vernon describes Ye’s Trent Reznor inspiration and surreal details from their Hawaii session, such as: “I was literally in the back room rolling a spliff with Rick Ross talking about what to do on the next part of a song.”
I’m trying to imagine a sentence that could make me more jealous than “I was literally in the back room rolling a spliff with Rick Ross talking about what to do on the next part of a song”. Drawing a blank so far.
