A DAY IN THE INTERNET

CLICK THE PICTURE IF THIS SHIT IS COMING UP FUNKY ON YOUR SCREEN.

This shit right here? This is the shit that has governments around the world freaking the fuck out. The Internet is the most powerful shit in the world. @Wave_Bandana once asked us fiends what the most important invention of all time was. After 4 mook sessions and 3 hours of debate, he finally told us what Time magazine ranked as number one invention of all time… OF ALL TIME. This invention? The printing press. Why the printing press you may ask?

All or anyone of these inventions is hard to argue with. However, in a study done by Life magazine, The Printing Press was considered the number one invention of all time. As early as 1000 AD, the Chinese had a form of printing system in place. But in 1436, a man by the name of Johann Gutenberg put together the very first printing press. The system was first assembled in Germany. It could create mass productions of printed items in a hurry by using modern movable type printing.

The impact of the printing press was comparable to that of writing itself. The lines of mass communication were quickly expanded across Europe and on to other countries as well. The Gutenberg printing press remained unchanged for over the next 300 years. It opened the door for the Industrial Revolution. Man was able to communicate on a large scale with his fellow man like never before.

In the centuries to follow, men like Lord Stanhope, Friedrich Koenig and American Richard Hoe would improve on the use of the Printing Press.

Some individuals think that the invention of the Printing Press not only launched us into the Industrial Revolution, but also shot us at least 400 years ahead of where we are at to take in the field of technology.

When you consider all the advancements that man has made in fields of Science, Aerospace, Transportation, Technology, and Medicine, who would have thought that it all would have been advanced by the invention of the Printing Press.

The Internet is going to shit all over the Printing Press when it’s all over. INFORMATION is the key to why humans do anything and everything. The Internet allows anyone and everyone to access information easily. The Interent is power. Watch as powers that be try to slowly and slowly diminish the power instilled in us by the Internet.

Hookers at the Point

Posted on Tuesday, March 6, 2012 by @oakshades — No Comments ↓

Action Bronson & Party Supplies have crafted a hypnotic joint that takes us to the streets of Hunts Point in 1993. Inspired by the classic HBO documentary of the same name, Action offers up a shocking first hand account from the stunted lives of streetwalkers: Cyndi, a prostitute addicted to crack, Silk, a violent, misogynistic pimp and Ramón, a former athlete turned junkie. Directed by Rik Cordero.

Prolly the most impressive music video I’ve seen in a while. I fuck with Party Supplies. I fuck with Action (QUEENS WHAT’S HOOD?) and I fuck with Rik Cordero’s visuals. Solid all around effort.

WHAT THE FUCK

Posted on Tuesday, March 6, 2012 by @wave_bandana — No Comments ↓

Son. What. The. Fuck.

Low-key though, Shyne Po is in my top 10. He’s also in my top 10 underachievers as well. I’m down to argue this with anyone.

I have so many questions. I’ll tell you what though, I believe Shyne’s religious transformation shit now (as opposed to a freak-out or PR stunt). No one could talk the shit he did about Puffy and then be all good at Fashion Week without some serious religious changes. Unless of course, he’s still getting those bad boy checks for taking the fall…

Good ass idea for a company. Good ass repurpose of the Old Spice commercial. Wish I could work with clients looking for something a little outside of the box like these mugs.

@oakshades

PS. How long till companies start outsourcing Advertising to the millions of funny creative fiends on the internet? Tim and Eric came from the internet and they’ve been killing it in advertising for the last couple years.

Filmgoer takes stand on costly snacks, sues AMC Livonia theater

Posted on Tuesday, March 6, 2012 by @oakshades — No Comments ↓

Joshua Thompson loves the movies. But he hates the prices theaters charge for concessions like pop and candy.This week, the 20-something security technician from Livonia decided to do something about it: He filed a class action in Wayne County Circuit Court against his local AMC theater in hopes of forcing theaters statewide to dial down snack prices.

“He got tired of being taken advantage of,” said Thompson’s lawyer, Kerry Morgan of Wyandotte. “It’s hard to justify prices that are three- and four-times higher than anywhere else.”

American Multi Cinema, which operates the AMC theater in Livonia, wouldn’t comment on the suit. A staffer at the National Association of Theatre Owners in Washington, D.C., angrily hung up the phone when asked about industry snack pricing practices.

Although consumer experts predicted that the case will be dismissed, it struck a chord Friday with area moviegoers, who said they’re tired of being soaked on movie munchies. “The prices are ridiculous,” Rebecca Motley, 55, a self-employed Southfield physician, said while leaving the AMC Star Southfield 20.

Motley said she and her office manager spent $5 each for morning movie tickets and $11 each for soft drinks and popcorn. “When I was a kid, $1 could get you into the movies and buy you a pop and popcorn. But not anymore,” Motley said. “I don’t know how kids can go on their own to a movie anymore.”

THIS IS WHY I ALWAYS BRING WENDYS INTO THE MOVIES WITH ME. Lowkey tho last time I went to the movies I had about $42 worth of McD’s in my bookbag and dude was like sir I’m going to need to search your bag. I immediately got all angry black libertarian dude on him screaming about Illegal Search and Seizures and racial profiling and shit. Best believe I ate the fuck out my Double Qtr Pounder with cheese in that bitch.

SUPER MOOKIN HALL OF FIENDS: Nicolas Cage

Posted on Tuesday, March 6, 2012 by @wave_bandana — No Comments ↓

The more and more I read about my man Nick Cage, the more I think that if we had  a Super Mookin’ Fiend talent draft, this mug would for sure be a lottery pick.

I mean he’s clearly a #fiend. No one blows through that kind of cash and isn’t a fiend. Dude made 60+ films, and according to Forbes he is one of the highest grossing actors of all time making $40 million alone in 2009…yet dude owes millions to the IRS.  He literally exemplifies #fiend. Just having too good of a time today to worry about tomorrow.

By the way, how has there not been a #ShitNickCageBuys hash tag on twitter?

Here are some of my favorite Fiend Cage purchases:

  •  Dinosaur Skull - $276,000 (reportedly out-bidding Johnny Depp)
  • 2 extremely rare, real King Cobras (Moby and Sheba)
  • King Cobra antidote serum, even more rare and expensive, in case he gets bitten by the King Cobras.
  • Pet Octopus
  • Lamborghini once owned by the Shah of Iran - $500,000 (One of his 50+ Cars)
  • Comic Book Collection – $1 Million Dollars
  • 9 Foot Tall Egyptian Pyramid to by buried in, in New Orleans
  • An unknown (to him) amount of Yachts and Boats
  • 2 Bahamanian islands
  • Real shrunken heads
  • Gulfstream Jet
  • 2 Castles - Midford Castle in England and Schloss Neidstein, a medieval castle in Bavaria
  • Haunted House - LaLaurie Mansion, considered one of the most haunted places in the world.
  • Malibu Home - $10 Million
  • “Grey Craig” – $17 Million Rhode Island Mansion
  • Dean Martin’s Bel Air Home – $10 Million
  • His Son told TMZ, that at the peak of his foreclosures, taxes, and lawsuits, Cage promised to be a smarter spender. That exact same day, Cage and his son went to visit a family friend. His son said Cage parked the car about 30 feet from the friend’s house. in the time it took him to walk 30 feet from the car to the house, he saw an antique store and bought an ancient samurai sword for $50,000.
This my friends, is a true Super Mookin Fiend. Only god knows how much he spent on clothes, drugs, and whores.  You are my fucking idol son.
@Wave_Bandana

PS – When you make movies like Leaving Las Vegas, The Rock, Face/Off, Gone in Sixty Seconds, Adaptation, National Treasure 1 & 2, and my personal favorite…The Wicker Man. you really can’t tell a fiend JACK SHIT.

PPS – Little pop trivia for you, Nicolas Cage’s real name is Coppola.

Upper East Side Mom Gets Locked Up For Brothel

Posted on Tuesday, March 6, 2012 by @oakshades — No Comments ↓

An uptown madam and mom of four is behind bars after earning millions running a tony brothel out of an Upper East Side apartment, according to Manhattan prosecutors. Anna Gristina, 44, was busted after investigators amassed up to 100 hours of audio and video tape as they staked out the operation. Gristina boasted of a high-powered, international clientele, and claimed to have New York City cops on the take to tip her off about any pending investigations, reports the New York Daily News.

Gristina “has business contacts worldwide as she has admitted in tape recordings, and claimed to have made millions over the 15 years she has been in business as a madam,” said Assistant District Attorney Charles Linehan. Neighbors say Gristina’s apartment saw a steady stream of women, usually of Eastern European descent, and men in business suits arriving and leaving in black livery cars. “I see a lot of young women going in and out—not beautiful, but fashionable,” said one. Gristina was busted as she met with a business partner—who worked at Morgan Stanley—to discuss expanding her business, said officials. She is being held at Riker’s Island in lieu of $2 million bail.

So let’s think about this. We live in a society where you can get married at 18 to a basketball player and then 10 years later divorce his ass for 90 million dollars but you can’t suck a dick for $100. This shit is dumb. How many millions in Tax Dollars is the government missing out on from hoes and johns? I gotta cut a 10k check to Uncle Sam even though in 2011 THEY DID NOTHING TO HELP ME OR MY CAREER AT ALL. Like not one thing. I made all of this money BY MYSELF. I feed myself BY MYSELF. Everything I do??? I DO BY MYSELF but I gotta cut a check. Ironically now that I’m thinking about it, the one thing that I did last year that will be paid for via taxes is when I WAS FUCKING ARRESTED FOR BEING BLACK ON THE SUBWAY.

@oakshades

PS. Seriously tho, prostitution should be legal. Not on the corner prostitution but a regulated industry of prostitution.
PPS. I’m hitting that Mega.
