It may be old news but it’s new news to me: Bob Ross (R.I.P.), the amazing afro-enhanced public television icon and host of the Joy of Painting with Bob Ross, has resurrected like a happy little Jesus and will be coming to you live and direct on your Wii! Roll his old bones on over!
From IGN: In news that breaks free from the shackles of abnormal and jumps headfirst into the realm of surreal, independent development studio AGFRAG Entertainment Group has announced that it is working on videogames based on the cult television icon Bob Ross.

Our dogs Finny and Cooper are little humping machines, so I’m thinking about picking this up so that they can take care of that: HotDoll

I’m so sick of hearing about this entire debacle. Yes, he’s a douche, nobody is denying that. But don’t we protect speech in this country for this reason alone? We don’t protect the things we all like to hear, but instead we protect speech that we DON’T like. As much as I winced at his racist and sexist comments, I HAVE THE FREEDOM TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL (just like he has the American right to say whatever he wants). He’s not someone we get our news from and therefore he does not need to be credible. He’s a bad comedian and an editorializer. Why should he be held to the same standards as say, NPR? I’m also disgusted by the hypocrisy in the African-American community right now…but instead of voicing that disgust and risk being called a racist myself (very far from it, thank you), I’ll instead repost an amazing article written by Jason Whitlock, an African-American reporter at the Kansas City Star, who has put it much more eloquently than I ever could. Plus he’s got, you know, street cred:

Time Magazine is currently running a fantastic article about the implosion of the Bush Administration.
The three big Bush stories of 2007–the decision to “surge” in Iraq, the scandalous treatment of wounded veterans at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys for tawdry political reasons–precisely illuminate the three qualities that make this Administration one of the worst in American history: arrogance (the surge), incompetence (Walter Reed) and cynicism (the U.S. Attorneys).
Definitely worth checking out.

That’s right, Mr. Steven Patrick Morrissey will be gracing us all with his fabulous presence at the Mann Music Center on June 29th at 8pm. Tickets, at this point, are almost non-existent unless you want to pay after-market prices so be sure to get on that. We’ve already got ours!
Currently on eBay, there are 14 Auctions selling tickets, including four in the forth row, center, for $1,099! I mean, I like Morrissey as much as the next gal, but but for $250 a ticket at the Mann? Will that include a Smiths reunion? Morrissey’s hands on my mammary glands?
