Clark Kent Tells Dwight Howard and Shaq to Kindly Shut the F*ck Up

After the Cleveland Cavaliers played the Orlando Magic this week, Shaquille O’Neal commented to the media questioning the true origin of the “Superman” mantra, referencing the use of it by Orlando center, Dwight Howard. Dwight, in response, basically told Shaq to get over it because ‘a lot of people call themselves Superman, not just me and Shaq.’ And one of those persons held a press conference to tell both of those multi-million dollar superstars to just shut the f*ck up.

“Why the h*ll are we even entertaining these two idiots? “said reporter, Clark Kent, with much disdain. “These two normal humans are making millions of dollars playing a damn game. I am a super human and I had to work as a measly reporter at that crappy Daily Planet, barely making minimum wage, and I didn’t have to step in front of the cameras boasting about who I was. How can they be Superman anyway ? Neither one of them have that little Vidal Sassoon curl in the front of their hair.”

One of Clark Kent’s arch-nemesis, General Zod, was quick to chime in on this ‘Who is the real superman?’ debate.

“In my professional villain opinion, this is really no question. I quickly realized the authenticity of Clark’s Superman powers that time I asked him to ‘Come, kneel before Zod’ and that prick crushed my frickin hand leaving me with Arthritis. Furthermore, how could Shaq even be the son of Jor-el, isn’t his father’s name Phillip or something?”

Clark says that ‘even though everyone uses cell phones now’, he ‘will find a phone booth somewhere if it needs to be proven who the true man of steel is.’

“Look, for the last time. I am Clark Kent and I am the real Superman. Not Dwight Howard and not Shaquille O’Neal. My feats are impeccable and well-documented. And not only in saving Earth from General Zod and his 2 cronies but also in my eye for discovering talent. H*ll, I made Lex Luthor a star way before Enemy of the State and Wyatt Earp.”

Nate Robinson Wins 3rd Consecutive Mini Slam Contest at Local Carnival

Nate Robinson became the first player to win the mini slam contest, 3 years in a row, at the local Carnival held Saturday night in Dallas, TX. The carnival, which has become largely forgettable the last couple of years, has tried to spice things up by using a 6’5 rim instead of the standard 10’ rim which the carnival routinely incorporates. Nate won the contest in the final round by bringing several Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders on the court with him, attempting to divert the fans attention to the ladies and away from this joke of a contest.

“The best thing that I could bring with me to this mini slam contest were the Cowboys cheerleaders. I asked if they could help me out in the carnival this year and they said they were more than happy to. I told them that all I needed them to do really was just to walk out onto the court and that should distract the crowd enough so they wouldn’t pay any attention to the crap I was doing.”

And his goal was successful. When asked what he thought of Nate’s final dunk, Shawn Rudell, local bartender, said, “Who?”

“To be honest, I have stopped paying any attention to this annual carnival. I just come to the events because of all the hot women who come in droves to try to secure themselves a carnival participant. There’s only so many ‘roofies’ you can slip in a chick’s drink and I figured this was the next best thing. And I was much more focused on the T&A out there on the court with the pompoms than watching the New York Knicks mascot. Did he win ?”

But Robinson said that he is not going for 4 carnival wins in a row and that he is calling it quits.

“No, this is it for me. I’m just happy that I got this third one in a row. But this is definitely the last one. I don’t think I can bear all the different ideas they were trying to come up with to make this carnival interesting again. Things like a ‘Guess Charles Barkley’s Weight’ booth or a ‘Take a Pic with the mascot of the New York Knicks’ booth. Come on man. And I thought the NBA All-Star Saturday night was a joke.”

Not again..Not another day.

THIS IS THE VERY SAME POST FROM EARLIER THIS YEAR. APPARENTLY IT FELL IT ON DEAF EARS SO I DECIDED TO POST IT AGAIN. WITH THE RECENT REVELATION THAT TIGER WOODS HAS/HAD 9 MISTRESSES. HOW CAN ANYONE BE MAD AT TIGER? ALL OF THE BLAME SHOULD BE ON THE WOMEN. ALL 9 OF THEM. HAVE SOME SELF-RESPECT, SELF-ESTEEM IN YOUR SELF. RESPECT WHAT IS NOT YOURS. WOMEN ARE NASTY, TRIFLING, CONNIVING, SELF-CENTERED, MANIPULATING, SELF-SERVING, BACK-STABBING, CONSPIRATORY INDIVIDUALS. WOMEN TELL MEN ALL THE TIME "WE ARE SMARTER THAN YOU, WOMEN ARE SMARTER THAN MEN." NEWS FLASH, AND I APOLOGIZE TO ALL MEN, YOU ALL ARE CORRECT. YOU ARE SMARTER. SO HOW CAN YOU EXPECT A MAN OR TIGER TO BE ABLE TO COMPETE WITH THE LIKES OF THIS. - preface by Anonymous



Ladies, Ladies, ladies… Please stop what you’re doing IMMMEDIATELY!!!! Your stock is plummeting rapidly.

What have you all been doing lately? The market is in dire need of a good woman or better yet good women. I look and all I see is bad examples of women left and right. Sarah Palin, Sahel Kazemi, Gov. Sanford’s mistress, Sen. Ensign’s mother and mistress, Marion Barry’s mistress, and this extremely bright woman or even this brighter one. If you don’t believe what I am saying please feel free to go here and look at your stock quote. Don’t get me wrong there are a few women that have held your gender down and continue to make your stock worth while i.e. Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey. But these two women cannot and will not hold the load for all women.

After consulting with all of my analysts and asking the research department their findings, we have all concluded that it is not looking good for the home team – you. We are rooting for the home team, EVERYONE roots for the home team. But it just seems to be getting worse.

Now I like so many other men, wish that I could love every woman in the world. But you all are making it too difficult. How can women expect men to love them if women continue to objectify themselves? Don’t get me wrong, I love the occasional unexpected breast flash or a nice booty video. But when you have women that understandingly volunteer for a video like Drake’s Best I Ever Had, what can men do. It doesn’t make us love you more. It makes us want to make love to you (do it) more but definitely not love you more. Quite the opposite in fact. Now you can say it was just a few women and we all are not like that but what about the other women in the video who didn’t try to talk some sense into the women objectifying themselves. “You know you’re going to look stupid in this video” or “Hey, girl there’s a strip club right down the street”. Anything.

When Sarah Palin came onto the scene after Barack Obama…(Hold for applause)…beat his opponent in the primaries it seemed as if women were coming up. It was a nice run at the presidency by Hillary Clinton, then a woman for Vice-President. Then Sarah Palin spoke and it was all down hill from there. She recently just stepped down from her position as the Governor of Alaska. No need to continue here.

Sahel Kazemi, the woman who shot and killed Steve McNair for no apparent reason is officially the worst woman on the list. I mean come on, his name rhymes with mine. But she was driving a Kia before they met and he upgraded her to an Escalade. How could anyone have a problem with that? Kia vs. Escalade. I’m astonished. What did she want a Navigator instead?

Gov. Sanford of South Carolina had a mistress in Argentina. ARGENTINA!!! She couldn’t find a great Argentinean to sleep around with. Manu Ginobili didn’t have any cousins. Senator Ensign’s mistress took $96,000 to go away and quit her job. FROM HIS PARENTS! His mother paid his mistress to go away.

Power makes many sexy. But Marion Barry’s sexiness should’ve gone away in 1990 when he got arrested for smoking crack. He is 73 years old. And his middle name is…wait for it…wait for it...Shepilov. Yes, Shepilov. That is when you just turn and walk away, no explanations needed. But, she didn’t and now there are pictures like this on the internet.

The almighty Beyonce has video after video after video of her gyrating and parading around like she is in permanent Mardi Gras mode. I like these videos, don’t get me wrong. My daughter just can’t watch them until she is 18 and my son until he goes to prom. I don’t want to walk in the room and he jumps to pull up the sheets and I look and Beyonce’s video is on. I would much rather him be looking at the real deal and not soft stuff.

This is just a public service announcement for women of all kind. Please help your stock rise. You all could easily run the world. Step up to the plate and do your thing. Stop trying to look and act like this - look and act like these.

Boys Will Be Boys...Not after "I do"?!?!

(it helps the feel of the blog to play the music while reading)

At the end of the year many people do end of the year reflections. Here is mine. The year 2009 is the year of the cheater or just an ordinary year.

Man, what in the world?!?! What is in the water?!?! Can someone explain what is going on?!?! I’m going to try. There is an old saying - very old saying. Boys will be boys. You’ve heard of it, I’ve heard of it. We all have heard of it. We don’t know where it came from, that is how old it is. It stands true today. Boys will be boys. When a little boy jumps off the tops step and falls and sprains his ankle, it’s okay because boys will be boys. When little boys play in the mud, it’s okay because boys will be boys. When boys lock themselves in the bathroom for hours faking taking a shower, it’s okay because boys will be boys. When boys/men cheat, it’s not okay because…It’s not?

Let me run down a quick list for you.
Tiger Woods
Jon Goselin
David Letterman
Shaquille O’neal
Gov. Marc Sanford
Rick Patino
Steve Philips
(most of all, these two) Arturo Gatti
Steve McNair
( I could add in the guy next door,or
maybe your ex-boyfriend).

What do these people all have in common? It has come to our attention this year, 2009, that these men were cheating. ALL OF THEM. I probably could go back every year and get a list just as long if not longer.

Why do men cheat? I don’t know. Why do men get married and then cheat? I don’t know. Why do women keep getting married? I don’t know. Why is the sky blue? Some things we will never know.

Are people really surprised that Tiger Woods cheated? I, for one, am not. Tiger Woods has been groomed from infancy to be the best. When everyone else was out partying he was on the green putting. He was always an outcast. With a very dominant and driving father pushing him, he couldn’t be otherwise. His father was the Joe Jackson of golf. Tiger Woods is very close to being, if not, worth ONE BILLION dollars. Coming from what he came from and being worth A BILLION dollars did he have any other choice.

Look at it like this. Imagine a starving child. Starving always and forever as an infant, child, adolescent and young adult. Then being placed in an all you can eat buffet. But, not the dirty, ugly, stinky buffet that is usually in the black neighborhoods; A grand buffet that would be found in a Four Seasons hotel. With everything dressed up looking so scrumptious, everything placed in his line of vision to tempt him, everything begging him to come and taste it. Then someone telling him he can only have grilled chicken and asparagus spears. That is going to work out just right. Just you wait and see.

Have you heard that LeToya Luckett song “Regret”? The basis of the song is this. The man she was with cheated on her and left her. He was nothing before her but she fixed him up and made him look good and attractive. After that he was bombarded by offers from women. And he took one of then up on her offer. Now, he will regret leaving her for the new woman because… I have no idea. (Let me clarify, I wouldn’t leave LeToya because she has ALWAYS and continues to look better than Beyonce – But I digress) She, as women like to use the term "upgraded" him. She upgraded him and now he has more options. Thanks for the upgrade, now I'm cool. Thank you!!! Chris Rock said “A man is basically as faithful as his options”. Comedy is LOOSELY based on truth. (this isn’t that clip but combine the tutorial with the aforementioned line and women should be good. Start at the clip time 4:30)

I am not at all condoning what these men did and not justifying it. I am just trying to explain a little reasoning behind these transgressions.

Hey, the wives of these men are okay. They get what…Half? Would you rather this happen to you or for your man to Richard Jefferson you. She got what...A party?

You be the Judge. Just not judgmental.

You ought to know: Steve Biko Edition (Stir It Up)

Steve Biko was one of South Africa's most significant political activists and a leading founder of South Africa's Black Consciousness Movement. His death in police detention in 1977 led to his being hailed as a martyr of the anti-Apartheid struggle.

Date of birth: 18 December 1946, King William's Town, Eastern Cape, South Africa
Date of death: 12 September 1977, Pretoria prison cell, South Africa

An Early Life
From an early age Steve Biko showed an interest in anti-Apartheid politics. After being expelled from his first school, Lovedale, in the Eastern Cape for 'anti-establishment' behavior, he was transferred to a Roman Catholic boarding school in Natal. From there he enrolled as a student at the University of Natal Medical School (in the university's Black Section). Whilst at medical school Biko became involved with the National Union of South African Students (NUSAS). But the union was dominated by white liberals and failed to represent the needs of black students, so Biko resigned in 1969 and founded the South African Students' Organisation (SASO). SASO was involved in providing legal aid and medical clinics, as well as helping to develop cottage industries for disadvantaged black communities.

Biko and Black Consciousness
In 1972 Biko was one of the founders of the Black Peoples Convention (BPC) working on social upliftment projects around Durban. The BPC effectively brought together roughly 70 different black consciousness groups and associations, such as the South African Student's Movement (SASM), which played a significant role in the 1976 uprisings, the National Association of Youth Organisations, and the Black Workers Project which supported black workers whose unions were not recognized under the Apartheid regime. Biko was elected as the first president of the BPC and was promptly expelled from medical school. He started working full time for the Black Community Programme (BCP) in Durban which he also helped found.

Banned by the Apartheid Regime
In 1973 Steve Biko was 'banned' by the Apartheid government. Under the 'ban' Biko was restricted to his home town of Kings William's Town in the Eastern Cape – he could no longer support the BCP in Durban, but was able to continue working for the BPC – he helped set up the Zimele Trust Fund which assisted political prisoners and their families. (Biko was elected Honorary President of the BPC in January 1977.)

Biko Dies in Detention
Biko was detained and interrogated four times between August 1975 and September 1977 under Apartheid era anti-terrorism legislation. On 21 August 1977 Biko was detained by the Eastern Cape security police and held in Port Elizabeth. From the Walmer police cells he was taken for interrogation at the security police headquarters. On 7 September "Biko sustained a head injury during interrogation, after which he acted strangely and was uncooperative. The doctors who examined him (naked, lying on a mat and manacled to a metal grille) initially disregarded overt signs of neurological injury."1

By 11 September Biko had slipped into a continual, semi-conscious state and the police physician recommended a transfer to hospital. Biko was, however, transported 1,200 km to Pretoria – a 12-hour journey which he made lying naked in the back of a Land Rover. A few hours later, on 12 September, alone and still naked, lying on the floor of a cell in the Pretoria Central Prison, Biko died from brain damage.

The Apartheid Government's Response
The South African Minister of Justice, James (Jimmy) Kruger initially suggested Biko had died of a hunger-strike and said that his death "left him cold". The hunger strike story was dropped after local and international media pressure, especially from Donald Woods, the editor of the East London Daily Dispatch. It was revealed in the inquest that Biko had died of brain damage, but the magistrate failed to find anyone responsible, ruling that Biko had died as a result of injuries sustained during a scuffle with security police whilst in detention.

An Anti-Apartheid Martyr
The brutal circumstances of Biko's death caused a worldwide outcry and he became a martyr and symbol of black resistance to the oppressive Apartheid regime. As a result, the South African government banned a number of individuals (including Donald Woods) and organizations, especially those Black Consciousness groups closely associated with Biko. The United Nations Security Council responded by finally imposing an arms embargo against South Africa.

Biko's family sued the state for damages in 1979 and settled out of court for R65,000 (then equivalent to $25,000).

The three doctors connected with Biko's case were initially exonerated by the South African Medical Disciplinary Committee. It was not until a second enquiry in 1985, eight years after Biko's death, that any action was taken against them. The police officers responsible for Biko's death applied for amnesty during the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings which sat in Port Elizabeth in 1997. The Biko family did not ask the Commission to make a finding on his death.
