Esse pessoal já tinha feito isso com a Beyonce. Agora resolveram colocar mais gente nesse furdunço.

Acho que essa história de 2012 é verdade viu :

Agora, pra você ver a qualidade da coisa : a Don’t Matter do Akon encaixou-se perfeitamente com o forró!

Letícia

...wherein I somewhat surreptitiously post more hyperlinks than complaints for a change.

In the past few weeks, a lot has happened. A music legend passed away, race has become a major issue to the news networks again, Fox was partially responsible for some more ridiculous bullshit regarding the cancellation/resurrection of a show, the economy’s still somewhat sketchy, people nationwide are shitting all over themselves because our new(ish) president (who ran on a campaign of change) wants to change the things he previously said he wanted to change (!!) and has proven unable to magically wipe away the country’s issues with a charismatic smile and a flourish despite the fact that his ability to construct a coherent sentence arguably garners him a better rating than a certain other leader, the company that makes Crocs appears to be in dire financial straits _{(mwUAha^{^HA}_HahA_{_H}_{_A})}, eggs are good for you again _{(…or aren’t they?)}, coffee might actually not be that bad for you, tanning is like smoking a pack of cigarettes directly through your pores…

"It's the damnedest thing: ever since the family trip to the coast, Michael vomits at the sight of fried chicken..."

…and I think there may still be a war going on somewhere, although you’d be hard-pressed to hear about it from the media most days.

But let’s face it; you’re not here for any of that, and everyone with an internet connection and a keyboard is already blaring their opinions about all of those things on every other corner of the web. So, that said, instead of focusing on current “potentially relevant/interesting” events, I’m going to put on my best ‘crotchety old man’ face and proceed to get all Don Quixote on this bitch, railing away at the perceived slights inflicted upon me by any number of innocuous modern windmill analogues.

Not unlike this, but less literal, and with significantly more swearing.

Oh, and I’ll also be mixing metaphors, over-punctuating, stretching sentences beyond their breaking point and rambling a lot… more than I already have thus far. If that sort of thing turns you off, why are you here, exactly?

—

-Ahem. Old man rant #1: Stop saying “past history.” Either cease all use of this phrase, or let’s all agree to start over-clarifying every term: “Here’s Tom, with the five-day future weather forecast of conditions that will be experienced outside…” or “How’d little Johnny do on his examination assessment test evaluation session at scholarship education school facility building for book learning?”

What, is that asinine and ridiculous? Huh.

Who first put this phrase in circulation, anyway? Was this linguistic seed of discord sewn by a careless time traveler visiting us from a future where the use makes sense? Was it started by someone insufficiently versed in the definition of the word ‘history?’ Seriously, though: to what other history would you be referring? What in the screwed blue hell are you talking about, that someone might think you weren’t talking about the past when you say “history?” Unless someone can present an amazing defense of this phrase, can we all agree to ban it from our collective vernacular?

—

-Speaking of banishing things, here’s old man rant #2; let’s all forget that Autotune ever existed. Stop using it. No, no. I don’t care. Quit. If you can’t sing, don’t record yourself singing. If you can sing, don’t use it. It’s been so incredibly abused as of late that even subtle pitch correction uses that were nigh undetectable before are now equal parts rankling and obvious. I’ve complained about Autotune before on other websites, and I’m certainly not the first to dispense hatred of this particular audio modification, but… oh, well. I may not be the earliest to arrive at this specific party, but I did bring a bottle of hooch. I’m…

…unsure where I was going with that, or how it was supposed to make sense.

The point still stands: it’s obnoxious, overused and it needs to go away.

"Autotune The News" gets a pass, though.

-”You damned kids, and your reality shows. Why, I remember when we had these things called writers, who made scripts, that had stories.” Sure, the ideas were inane most of the time anyway, but at least there was a modicum of effort involved in the process. The networks at least pretended to try to entertain us, beyond sticking various assholes in front of a camera and seeing what happened. If the goal of this programming was to convince me that humanity is a doomed experiment, then kudos. Really, exceptional work. Again, I’m not defending all scripted television; a lot of that’s utter drivel, too. All I’m saying is this: is anyone’s life enriched by seeing My Super Sweet 16? Without resorting to a fairly heavy-handed cliche… directly… I’m going to just put it out there that it’s the kind of dreck that makes us look like shitheads in front of all the other countries. Just saying.

—

-…and while we’re on the subject of reality shows, that brings me right to old man rant #4: (Revenge of the Rantening) Celebrity worship. I don’t have any problem with respecting celebrities for their talent within their medium. What gets me is this notion that we can’t turn on the news or surf the internet for hardcore fetish porn uh, investment… advice… without having the daily lives of everyone who’s even remotely famous shoved down our throats. “Oh my God! The somewhat effeminate neanderthal who plays that glittery vampire is dating a co-star! Which one could it be? The drama! <gasp!> NAOMI WATTS DROPPED OFF HER DRY CLEANING!!!!!” Are that many of us actually so disconnected from reality that we have to be reminded that stars are actually human beings, who do ‘real people’ things?

Oh. Well, shit.

-Kanye. Self-proclaimed genius. Brags excessively, even by rap standards. Uses Autotune unabashedly. Publicly stated he’d “never want a book’s autograph,” then proceeded to release a book. The mark of a true genius is near immediate self-contradiction.

And I wonder... if anyone has said, "I would like to purchase this book for non-ironic purposes?" Then found themselves thinking, "Wow, this really is packed full of exceptionally original and insightful advice that I find useful and could not have figured out myself, and not at all a waste of my money?"

I know it’s most likely a schtick, but I honestly don’t care if it is or not; once you declare yourself a genius and throw multiple temper tantrums in public for not being recognized as God’s gift to humanity, I don’t hear another damned word that comes out of your mouth, especially if it’s tainted by Autotune or delivered in the form of a coffee table book full of barely literate attempts at a collection of bon mots that reads more like the result of a recent third grade drop out compiling a ‘book’ of half-assed, grammatically incorrect platitudes. Just so we’re absolutely crystal clear: I’m not taking a shot at his music; just his public persona, actions and published words.

...and his shutter shades.

—

-Stick with me, it’s the last one… Treatment of a singular collective noun as plural. “Microsoft are releasing a new service pack to remedy the spontaneous combustion issue experienced by some users,”

"It appears as though you are researching self-immolation. Would you like assistance?"

…or “Creed are getting back together? I would have thought they’d had enough of Scott Stapp’s arrogant bullshit by now,” or “The class are going on a field trip to an abandoned abattoir.”

Now, it’s possible that I missed a lesson in every single English class I ever took throughout my years at public school (or perhaps those last two words elucidate my ignorance) or that this topic would have been covered in the final semesters of college from which I abstained. Maybe this is, and always has been, correct. Or…

Dinosaur Comics. Click to enlarge-arate-ify.

…maybe the proliferation of new technological avenues of communication have created a relaxed attitude towards language, or maybe it’s just that certain journalists started taking pages from British grammar (I’m looking directly at you, Rolling Stone) and readers have begun following suit. But I digress. Frequently.

I concede that you’re effectively talking about a group of people, but you’re referring to them as a coherent group, not a mass of individuals, with each one receiving equal emphasis. The group is the subject, and it are not fucking plural.

Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
‘Cause I got you babe babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
‘Cause I got you babe
‘Cause we gonna fight
Oh yes we gonna fight
Believe we gonna fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
‘Cause I got you

Nobody wanna see us together
Nobody thought we’d last forever
I feel ‘em hopin’ and prayin’
Things between us don’t get better
Men steady comin’ after you
Women steady comin’ after me
Seem like everybody wanna go for self
And don’t wanna respect boundaries
Tellin’ you all those lies
Just to get on your side
But I must admit there was a couple secrets
I held inside
But just know that I tried
To always apologize
And I’ma have you first always in my heart
To keep you satisfied

[Chorus]

Got every right to wanna leave
Got every right to wanna go
Got every right to hit the road
And never talk to me no more
You don’t even have to call
Even check for me at all
Because the way I been actin’ lately
Has been off the wall
Especially towards you
Puttin’ girls before you
And they watchin’ everything I been doin’
Just to hurt you
Most of it just ain’t true
Ain’t true
And they won’t show you
How much of a queen you are to me
And why I love you baby

[Chorus]

Oh oh oh oh oh
‘Cause I got you
‘Cause I got you
Oh
‘Cause I got you babe
‘Cause I got you

Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
‘Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
‘Cause I got you babe
‘Cause we gonna fight
Oh yes we gonna fight
Believe we gonna fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
‘Cause I got you
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
‘Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
‘Cause I got you babe
‘Cause we gonna fight
Oh yes we gonna fight
Believe we gonna fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don’t matter no
‘Cause I got you

What a job advertising must be.

vstiles — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 22:45:29 +0000

I have a new favorite shitty television ad. Although, in all fairness, the television I watch tends to sit on the DVR for a while before I get to it, so it may not be what you’d call ‘timely.’ In which case, I say to you, “Piss off, it still sucks, and someone still thought it was a good idea at one time.” Then I feel bad for snapping at you, because I didn’t really mean to, and I know you weren’t trying to be a dick, but… whatever.

The media mavens behind the Joe’s Crabshack ad campaign have decided to let go of the wheel and see what happens. Either that, or they’ve been so busy nurturing their burgeoning love affair with Jagermeister and street corner cocaine that they weren’t listening when someone told them their commercials had to simultaneously pleasure the supple young bodies belonging to Common Sense and Good Taste. Sometimes, guys, you’ve got to put down the bottle, spit out that coke-laden phlegm in the back of your throat and place both hands firmly on the bosoms of your work.

Click the image if it confuses you.

The ad starts off innocently enough; with a family of three (two parents and a young boy) sitting down to enjoy a dinner at their local Joe’s. The waiter walks up and says to the woman, “The usual, ma’am?” Now, apparently, the husband doesn’t eat there often, because he glances upwards with a look of mild confusion on his face. As he does so, he sees the waiter tussling the hair of the young boy who happens to be the spitting image of the waiter. As he looks back and forth between the two, rusty gears can be heard beginning to turn in his head as a gruesome truth is suddenly realized.

Now, the husband has slipped across the barrier between everyday existence and what’s usually classified as a ‘defining moment;’ the kind of point in life where the next action you take will forever alter the very fabric of your being and solidify exactly what kind of person you are. For example, he could completely lose his shit right there in the restaurant, call out his cheating whore of a wife, and denounce his bastard son before proceeding to beat the waiter into cocktail sauce (the macho alpha male or ‘insanity plea’ approach), play it cool, act as though he’s none the wiser, and begin planning the untimely demise of the wife, waiter, and the pre-pubescent ‘evidence.’ (the ‘Riker’s Island’ approach), or some third example that doesn’t include violence. Granted, I can’t think of one right now, but I’m sure it exists. What happens, however, is that he seems to give it half a moment’s thought, then shrugs and apparently resumes trying to translate the menu, which must be written in Swahili for all the attention he’s focusing on it (commonly known as the “Don’t matter, just gonna get some crabs.” approach).

What’s the point of this ad? Is it that men in general are so stupid and complacent that when presented with loads of evidence pointing to the infidelity of our wives and bringing into question the origin of our children’s genetic material, we’ll simply shake it off and focus on the only real matter at hand; whether to order oysters or clams? Is it that the staff at Joe’s is so friendly and helpful, they’d be more than happy to father your illegitimate children when not busy dressing like hippies and doing illicit drugs in the dishpit? Maybe it’s that the food at Joe’s is so Goddamned good, that you either don’t give a shit that the waiter has (on at least one occasion) probably done things to your wife that she’s never let you do, or you just don’t want to deal with it until after you’ve had at least three king crab legs and a Lobster Colada.

Personally, I’d like to believe it’s a combination of all of the above. In my mind’s eye, I envision a meeting between the ad firm and the company behind Joe’s, wherein the lead advertiser makes a pitch to the effect of;

“We really think you’ll like this spot! It shows that the staff is personable, good in bed and eager to please! It demonstrates that the food is so good people don’t care about anything but eating more of it. Besides, let’s face it, your target audience is borderline functionally retarded!”

They then show a rough cut of the commercial. Immediately after it concludes, the lead ad man steps in front of the television screen, and says ‘Now, we don’t have the graphic for this yet, but we’re thinking about a new slogan to go with the ad.” He places his palms together in front of his face, then spreads them excitedly, “Joe’s Crab Shack; So Good, We’ll Fuck Your Wife!”

The lead exec of Whatever Corporation looks up with a blissfully blank look in his eye that can only be described as transcendent, but is fading with each passing second thanks to the dawning realizing that he’s not alone, and that people are awaiting a response from him… “Well,” he sniffs a little, eyes darting furtively around the room and then rubs compulsively at his nostrils before continuing, “let’s run with that.”

Think Different Collection

secretsocietynyc — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 18:59:46 +0000

Secret Society is proud to introduce the “Think Different Collection”. It’s all about a breath of fresh air for the over saturated street wear market. Review the collection and be warned: this is not an attack, but about the idealism that ”characters” put in their heads. Those who can’t say hi when you walk into their stores, those who think they know style when their just PUPPETS, those who pay ridiculous prices for cappuccinos when it’s just cafe con leche, those who judge art without true convictions…This is about exposing the CORRUPTION.

For those who have been living on another planet, you can check out the line sheet here… Think Different… Secret Society Think Different collection are in stores now. For a location near you, click here, Stockist.

Check out some more pics after the jump. All of the Think Different collection is available on-line at KICKZSTORE.

Un verano iba con un colega en bici por Takawa, una comarca donde se encuentran los pueblos más rudimentarios de la la República del Congo. En seguida nos extrañamos al ver a una multitud de de gente cantando y una camioneta tirando espuma. El caso era, que estaban filmando el videoclip de esta canción, “Don’t matter” (Akon). Nos quedamos mirando un rato y el maneger empezó a regalar el nuevo álbum. Los dos volvimos a los apartamentos y al querer sacar el CD para escucharlo me di cuenta de que no estaba. Es una experiencia de la que siempre me acordaré, lo bueno, es que ni así me dejó de gustar ésta canción.
