The History of Weed
Brought to you by the Showtime hit, Weeds.
Carlos Mencia’s Sad Little Twitter Page
A Cracked contributor really let Carlos Mencia have it in this in-depth analysis of Mecia’s Twittering habits…
Poor guy. No one wants to mock his unjustified celebrity anymore. What did he ever do to deserve this? I mean, other than riding on the coattalis of his famous mother, and stealing other comics’ material…
Futuristic Raquetball
This narrator reminds me of Dennis Quaid’s computer in Innerspace.
Fear and Loathing: The Board Game
I finally figured out what I want for my birthday… Unfortunately there’s only one known set in existence and it’s going for $5,500.
For those not initiated, this art installation/board game is based on the Hunter S Thompson novel/movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Speaking of which, here’s an old BBtv show I created with a similar theme.
Joe Torre on Carson Daly
Who knew that the Late Late Late Show Host actually knew how to run a serious interview? Very surprised at the quality of this piece, especially given how rarely Torre allows the media access.
A Night at the Museum (On Drugs)
Originally posted on The Fresh Scent.
To get a sense of what the enhanced version of this otherwise craptastic Ben Stiller movie might sound like, look no further than this history lecture by former University of Florida Professor, John Hall. Unfortunately, he’s a former professor now because the University got wind of this command performance and immediately dismissed him from the faculty.
That doesn’t seem particularly fair. Apparently the University of Florida operates on the ’stoning for being a stoner’ philosophy. Code of Hammurabi? Duuuuuude…
Depleted Border Patrol Looks to Childen
Originally posted on The Fresh Scent.
Like a hungry stoner scavenging through the kitchen cupboards for a stray graham cracker, the US Border Patrol has found its resources sadly lacking recently. Amidst administration demands for more recruitment and hiring, the Border Patrol has turned to a tried and true tactic of depleted armies throughout history — conscripting children.
The Explorers Program, a Boy Scouts of America affiliate, trains the pubescent in the art of raiding dens of iniquity, seizing illegally imported goods, and patrolling barren wastelands. In the words of a California sheriff’s deputy involved with the program:
This is about being a true-blooded American guy and girl.
While it’s unclear what his hermaphroditic reference is all about, it does seem like a wonderful opportunity for these kids to participate in the formative experience that is pepper-spraying a starving immigrant right in the eye socket. That kind of invaluable interaction will really put some hair on the chests of our next crop of soldier-kids.
