Fuck You Michael Bay
Quit ruining my childhood heroes. Transformers already sucked ass, the only redeeming factor was Megan Fox, and most of the rest of your movies are stupid. To quote Team America: World Police, "Pearl Harbor sucked, just a little more than I miss you."
So don't fucking make a movie about the Turtles. Just don't, it's a terrible idea. And turning them into aliens instead of mutants? Fuck you, it's not your story, you didn't write it and you don't get to change it. I will be boycotting any Michael Bay production of the Turtles and I'll start a national campaign so the movie flops upon release. Don't underestimate the power of angry fans, especially us 80's/90's crossover kids. Don't fuck with us, it's not worth it. Rabble-B
Looks like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles we all know and love are growing up. The team of crime-fighting turtles, who will not be mutants in Michael Bay’s upcoming film, will reportedly not be teenagers either.
According to Bleeding Cool, the most recent update to the franchise is going by the working title Ninja Turtles.
The live action film's title has been verified, even though the age of the turtles has not, leading the rest of us to believe that Bay is indeed tossing the formerly mutant turtles as "teenagers" idea.
"It seems to be driven by marketing. Think of John Carter and how Disney wouldn’t allow for a title with either 'Princess' or 'Mars,'" an unnamed source told Bleeding Cool. And we all know how well that worked out for Disney.
The recent title shortening is the most recently announced change from the original concept, which spawned an animated TV series, several films and a line of merchandise. Bay stopped by Nickelodeon Upfront earlier this month and revealed that he would be making a significant change to the turtles’ origins -- instead of mutants, they would be aliens.
The news was received with much outrage by fans of the original series, along with Turtle alums, including Robbie Rist, who voiced Michelangelo in the 1990 film. Bay responded on his website, telling fans to "take a breath, and chill," explaining that the film's team is "building a richer world."
But that didn't stop some fans from taking to Twitter and voicing their concerns with Bay's creative liberties.

Michael Bay's 'Ninja Turtles' Gets A Name And Age Change

Leave the Hoodie at Home
You know I've tried not to write about the Trayvon Martin tragedy because it's extremely angering and upsetting and it's just too big. I'd be here for days writing about American culture, racism, gun rights and how fucked up the state of Florida is.
So instead, I'll write to Geraldo Rivera in regards to his dumbass comments in the video below. Watch the video.
Dear Geraldo,
You seriously can sleep at night after saying that a piece of clothing (the kid's hoodie) is as much to blame as the guy who shot him? Wow, you are one seriously delusional moron. That's the same stupid argument as saying bullet or gun manufacturers or God are to blame. No one made Zimmerman pull the trigger. He did it of his own, constitutionally guaranteed, free will. And now he needs to face the consequences of murdering an unarmed teenager. You talk about gangster attire and clothing that makes people cross to the other side of the street. What about me? I'm as white as they come, do I still get to wear a hoodie, or does it make me a suspect too? I'm pretty sure no one would ever mistake me for a mugger or gangster. You can't blame clothing Geraldo, you just can't, it's baseless. You know who is partially to blame? You. Yeah, you, and all your fear-mongering friends in the media that portray inanimate objects as willful players in a crime. You put fear and anger into the public's collective head and and we wonder why this kind of shit happens. You're simply a moron and it is painfully obvious in one of your final comments in the video, saying not to wear a hoodie unless it's raining or at a track meet. Well guess what, it was raining when Trayvon got killed you dumbfuck. You should've been banned from television after drawing a map in the sand on air of US troop locations in Afghanistan. Fuck you.

You cut it in half
I don't even know what to say about this video. I think it's an indictment of our school systems in the US and a perfect example of why the rest of the first world is blowing by us in business, health, science and whatever else.
Or maybe it's just over analyzing the problem. You're first answer is usually the best. So, running a mile in 9 minutes. That's my answer. Giant sigh...
Watch the whole video, it's worth it. Rabble-B

My New Career
Man arrested for repeat robbery of Oakland bank
Posted: 03/09/2012 04:43:36 PM PST
Updated: 03/09/2012 04:43:36 PM PST
OAKLAND -- A 53-year-old man was charged Friday with robbing a downtown bank branch that he was convicted of robbing in 2010. authorities said.
Edwin Herold admitted robbing the Mechanics Bank, 1999 Harrison St., at 9:26 a.m. Monday to get money to give to his girlfriend, who was having hard times, said Officer Hector Jimenez, the lead investigator. Police said Herold simulated a gun after giving a teller a note demanding money.Police said Herold was paroled from prison in March 2011 after serving a term for robbing the same branch as well as a Mechanics branch in Berkeley in January 2010.
He stayed at a halfway house until March 1 of this year when he left without permission, authorities said.
After the Monday robbery, Herold was identified as the suspect by FBI agent Lesline Wimbley, who recognized him from a surveillance photo. The agent had investigated the 2010 robberies, Jimenez said.
Herold was arrested Wednesday at his girlfriend's home on 22nd Street in West Oakland.
Ok, so did you read the above article? Since when the fuck does bank robbery carry a sentence of plus or minus one year?! Are you kidding me?! It probably wasn't even that, what with the investigation, arrest, and court proceedings. Maybe he actually got his constitutional right to a speedy trial and was sentenced, lets say March 2010. That'd be pretty darn fast for the court system but we'll give them the benefit of the doubt. So he serves ONE FUCKING YEAR?!?! Are you serious? For bank robbery?
I think I'm in the wrong line of work. I mean lets say you rob five banks. You get caught once or twice out of that spree but you've stashed maybe $100,000, hell, maybe it's $250,000. Tax free mind you. You serve maaaaayyyybe two years if the judge really hates you. And you have zero expenses while in the joint. I'm thinking that's a pretty sweet deal. You're a free man after that and have a pile of money that no one knows about. Or, even better you have someone you really trust, your wife lets say, and she invests that money and you get out, you get a menial job maybe and mostly live off her income for a few years. Or, maybe you collect beer bottles like me and in a few years, boom, you have $200,000 (or half a million) and only part of it is taxable. Then you buy a house. Lets say you're not married and all you have is that $100,000. Darn, that's like making $50,000 a year, again, tax free and with absolutely zero expenses. How can you go wrong? I might put in my two weeks tomorrow... Rabble-B

Playing With the Big Boys
So a couple days ago I had my first experience with California and the CRV or Cash Redemption Value. Several states has similar programs designed to encourage recycling by charging a deposit when purchasing glass or plastic bottles.
Not to waste the opportunity to recycle and make money (or really just collect my deposit back I'd already spent) I've collected all the beer, wine, pop, juice, water, whatever bottles and cans we've used over the last couple months. Much to the chagrin of my almost wife, the volume grew to about three grocery sacks worth. So a few days ago I decided to cash in my wares. I loaded all the crap into a trash bag and drove it to the Berkeley recycling center.
I realized when I pulled into the parking lot that I brought a knife to a nuclear war. There were dudes there with bags and bags of recyclables. Bottles and cans pouring out the back of their vehicles, or, as the standard hobo mode of hauling, bags hanging off shopping carts. I suddenly felt waaaaaaaaayyyyy out of my league. Like I just stepped into the majors after playing a couple seasons of Tee-ball, these guys are for real. These are the same guys that cruise through the park and pick up anything left behind. It's like a free, community recycling program. More than once, I've laid an empty bottle down next to me at the park and had it disappear within five minutes. can you imagine a bum fight over a giant pile of bottles and cans? They play for keeps.
But I persevered. I popped the trunk and pulled out my measly single, half full, trash bag. With a little direction from the recycling csar I separated all the bottles by color and plastic and aluminum. I poured each into a big ass, metal container and the csar punched in the weight into the computer. I then walked over to a window and picked up my check for $3.52. Yep, three dollars and fifty-two cents, not much to get excited over for the big boys but it's laundry money now. Ahhahaahaahhaaa. And the next round of collecting commences with an empty fifth of tequila and a 22oz bottle of Rogue Dead Guy. Unrabble-B

Fukashima Ghost Town
http://rockcenter.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/03/07/10594667-one-year-after-disaster-at-fukushima-nuclear-plant-town-remains-frozen-in-time
You have to read this article and watch the video. We modern folk are quick to forget the past, even the recent past. How much have you heard about the Japanese quake, tsunami and nuclear disaster lately? No much. The town near the Fukashima nuclear plant, twelve square miles and 10,000 residents are permanently evacuated. There's a fence and 24/7 military guard around the town. No one goes in without military escort. The town is stuck at the day it was evacuated. They didn't get to gather their belongings (though later people were allowed to return and claim certain items under strict supervision, though it seems there was some looting too, which I have a problem with. I have a problem with looting yes, but it was observed by many, even myself, that after the quake, tsunami and nuclear disaster the Japanese did not go crazy and loot. They didn't get violent like Africans and Europeans and maybe most of all Americans, because they are an orderly society. They just dealt with it, together. Well, it seems that's not entirely true. Watch the video. And besides, the Japanese dude in it has a vicious neck beard.) they just had to leave. It speaks to stories like I am Legend, 28 Days Later, or Kurt Vonnegut's Deadeye Dick (minus the zombies and neutron bombs and such) of cities with everything but people to occupy them. Watch the video for just a glimpse. It's weird. It's crazy and it needs to be written about, read about and remembered. Rabble-B

March-stache
So we're five days into March and we had our fifth earthquake in the four months that we've lived in the Bay Area. I was actually awake too, headed out of the house at 5:30am, snowboard in hand. Luckily it only lasted about 3 seconds.
More importantly, we're in the fifth day of Mustache March. This, of course follows Novembeard. It's a tough and lonesome road but I finally got some support tonight for the journey that is the month of March. Not many folks (and by folks I mean men) seem to know about Mustache March but the dudes at Trader Joe's do. They're sportin' some fine whiskers this month, and complimented me on mine. So if you're still shaving knock it off dammit and grow something on your face. Ladies are allowed to wear clip on 'staches. Anwyay, I also like Sierra Nevada Rutheless Rye. Unrabble-B

*&G^)^*)7pnfsakl2380h9*&G*bnfskepd12=!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta has been officially unveiled ahead of the Geneva Motor Show.
The replacement for the 599 has a number of improvements over the outgoing model. Horsepower gets a massive bump, from 611 to 730; 509 lb-ft of torque is on tap, with 80 percent available at just 2,500 rpm. Curb weight drops from 3,722 pounds to 3,362 pounds, 56 percent of which rests over the rear axle. The F12 has a drag coefficient of 0.299 and stronger downforce compared with the 599, and structural rigidity improves by 20 percent. The all-new aluminum chassis was designed by Scaglietti and incorporates a dozen alloys. Basically, it's everything you want in a next-step Ferrari: stronger, stiffer, lighter and more powerful.
Also, it's gorgeous. The F12 Berlinetta, a styling collaboration between Pininfarina and Ferrari's in-house styling team, is lower and shorter compared with the 599, with a long hood, prominent headlights, the same slick grille seen on the FF and a sweeping, muscular frame.
As expected, the F12 is based on a mid-front-engine configuration with a transaxle layout. The 599's 6-speed automated manual transmission is out, replaced by an F1-style dual-clutch gearbox. The naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V12 engine -- cylinders are banked at 65 degrees -- help push the F12 to a top speed of 211 mph and can blast the car from standstill to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds. Its time around the Fiorano circuit, at 1:23, is faster than any other Ferrari of the road-going variety.
Check out Ferrari's quick overview video, below.
And here's Alonso and Massa reacting to the car:
The vehicle's official bow will take place in Geneva next week.

Rush, for my gun
Ok, so apparently Rush Limbaugh called a lady a "slut" on air yesterday because she spoke out in support of womens' access to birth control. And now a bunch of his sponsors are distancing themselves from him because of the bad press.
Is this the end for Rush?
Not likely. How that dumb, ignorant motherfucker is still a public figure with a radio show I have no idea. Nothing is going to change though. He's still going to stay on the air spouting his baseless, ludicrous commentary just like he has for all these years and after all the gaffs, offensive remarks, racist remarks, sexist remarks, four marriages in spite of his views on the sanctity of marriage and against gay marriage, and my personal favorite his prescription drug addiction after so many years of railing against drug users as the scum of society.
After all that and whatever else I can't think of right now, he's still on the air and he still has millions of ignorant, dumbshit listeners that hang on his every word. So no, he's not going anywhere because he called some lady a slut. Unfortunately, unless some tries to kill him, he's going to remain doing the saying the same shit he's said forever. Much to everyone's chagrin, he's gonna keep on keepin' on. Rabble-B

Double Penetration 10?
Lets forget for a moment how offensive this is toward women. I mean really it's not like they're marketing the Mach 3 razor, which obviously should only be pitched to men and the East German Olympic female gymnastic team circa 1972 (they were held in Munich, West Germany that year). IT'S FUCKING POP people, it has no preference of the sexes.
But more importantly, Dr. Pepper, is emasculating men on an appalling scale. The commercial features a dude trying to pour a can of DP10 into a glass of ice while blastin' through the jungle in a sick, gnarly Jeep (he doesn't get much of it into the glass). What kind of man has to pour his can of pop into a glass full of ice to drink it? What so it stays colder and we can't drink warm pop. What man would ever do that? What the fuck, it's pop just drink it out of the can! Even the flamiest gay dudes are more masculine than that. And even better, what pop drinking man watches his calories to the point where he feels the need to drink low cal pop? Answer: NONE! You know who does watch their calories like that? Women. You know who isn't going to be drinking DP10? Women. Because they're already offended by the fact that DP10 is expressly not designed for them, even though it's just pop. And probably tastes like shit anyway. So yeah, suck it DP10. Rabble-B
