Ebony vs Ivory

So I was watching the TV again after work and saw a preview on Comedy Central for some new sketch comedy show called "Chocolate News." Its hosted and starring David Alan Grier. Not really the most cutting edge stuff. The guy is 53 years old and I bet most people forgot he was famous for being on In Living Color.

However this is not a rant about the show (it should be pretty self-explanatory about why this show will suck). This is a rant about the commercial for the show that had some quotes from newspaper reviews. One was from the New York Post: "Funniest thing since Chappele." Why do they have to compare it to the only other black comedian sketch comedy show that has come out. WHy not compare it to Carlos Mencia or any comedy show. "Funniest show since Friends" (the whitest show I can think of).

What's funny about this is that I didn't even realize he was black until I looked it up. Look at some of the movies he has appeared in: Stuart Little, The Bonnie Hunt Show, Return to Me, Angels in the Infield, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Bewitched, these are some of the whitest movies ever. To quote Chappele "he makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcom X."

As a side note I saw this Holiday Inn commercial that is funny:


It's funny because white people are different from black people.

Defense rests...

Unless our good friend R. Kelly quickly changes to a good lawyer (are there any left) it looks like he is so screwed in this case once and for all. Oh well I guess we are going to all have to get our s**ty R&B music elsewhere.

"Prosecutors said Monday they planned to recall to the witness stand Grant Fredericks, who previously testified that the videotape showed a dark spot on the lower back of the man in the video. The spot "corresponds" with a mole on Kelly's back, Fredericks told jurors.
Last week, Kelly's team presented its own video expert, Charles Palm, who showed a copy of the tape in which dark spots seemed to appear and then disappear from the man's back. He dismissed the spots as 'video noise.'"

I'm not a science man, but I'm not sure how noise could visually appear as a black spot on a video. I might be wrong though.

Oh well, lesson learned. Don't piss on girls when you are having relations with them, especially when they are 13 years old. You may become rich and famous someday and then 'girlfriend gonna get paid.'

Words

I'm never totally surprised at what people say, especially when "people" are celebrities who do a s**t ton of coke.

If you have not heard of Amy Winehouse, she is some celebrity who has a music album out there and won a Grammy for Best New Artist and her hit song is called 'Rehab' and is about her going into rehab. Back to reality, she has been in and out (mostly out) of rehab for years and is currently on quite the crack binge. Now a video has come out in which about a year ago her boyfriend at the times taped her singing an incredibly racist song in which she says every racial slur ever invented.

Now she came out with a statement defending the video saying ""I don't want to play anything down, but I'm the least racist person going." WTF? I love when people can jsut say something even though all the evidence points in the other direction. Its kind of like when my wife said she wasn't seeing someone else even though I received a Christmas card from her and her "other family" for years. She really thinks she is the least racist person going. Yet she goes out and says every racial slur known and is laughing the whole time.



I typed racism into Google Images and this is the first image that came up:
