The other day I was putting up a DBB sticker when a cop stopped me.  I think my mistake was doing it right in front of a cop.  Like, there was a cop car parked inches from me at the time.  Anyway, when he was hassling me, he saw my Obama button and he said “Obama huh?  Well, at least it’s not Clinton.”  Then he started telling me how lucky I wasn’t a black male, or I would be in big trouble.  It is good to know he still supports Obama over Clinton… it just goes to show that the NYPD are even more sexist than they are racist.  After that he asked me if I thought that Obama sounded like the WWF wrestler the Rock.  I told him I had never thought about it.  He suggested that Obama use the phrase “Can You Smell What Barack Is Cooking”.  I sort of thought that was brilliant, and went home and googled it.  When I did I found the most amazing video that I am posting below.  I suggest you watch it.  I was going to post it last Wednesday, but we did not do great in the Tuesday election so I am saving it for today when he kicked some ass in Wyoming.  Lets go Barack!

PS. The cop also told me about his friend who had a T-Shirt made to look like a Scarface shirt only instead of Al Pacino it was Dick Cheney holding a machine gun and it said Dickface instead of Scarface, which I also found sort of brilliant.

With Fleshbot linking me all the time, I might as well return the favor… Okay, maybe it is not quite a favor since they send about 10x the traffic, but still… some disgusting news from Fleshbot.  Evidently there is a Gene Simmons sex tape out.  It features some Australian chick named Elsa with very giant fake boobs.  In the background they are fucking to Foreigner which is probably the best thing about the tape.  Honestly, the only reason I would ever, ever, want to see Gene Simmons in any sort of sex act would be to see what the motherfucker could do with his 10 inch tongue.  She goes down on him, but he doesn’t even have the decency to return the favor.

The videos are originally from a site called Genessecret.com but I can’t the site to load due to bandwidth issues.   You can try that site for your self or you can just watch the Gene Simons sex videos for free on Fleshbot.   Don’t click either of these links if you just ate or are pregnant.  NSFW. Duh.

This frog is probably the scariest thing that ever existed.  I am so fucking thankful that this thing died off millions of years ago.  I am also glad that I read about it today and not yesterday because I spent last night sleeping in my friends daughters room who is like 4 years old and completely obsessed with frogs.  Her whole bedroom is green and it is like 7′ x 7′ and filled with probably 150 different representations of frogs, the very animal of which I am now terrified.  All fear Beelzebufo, the Devil Toad!

Secondly, I am sort of obsessed with the National Geographic YouTube channel… at least I was until I saw this video of giant cows.  These things are ungodly mutations of meat.  You could get roughly 50 million hamburgers out of each one.  Darwin is rolling over in his grave.  He created this one ton cow.  They fucking shave the cows so they look sexier.  I cannot think of a Pumping Iron joke to go here, but I am positive there is one.

Oh Snap. Thanks to Gawker I got an unexpected second post for you. Someone collected a bunch of footage of Barack Obama reacting to people fainting at his rallies. I know he speaks multiple times a day every day, but it is still pretty impressive how many people are fainting during his speeches. This is really pretty amazing. Next he is going to be healing people though the power of government subsidized health care!

Hello my Virginia brothers in the South! Outside of New York City, Las Angeles, and strangely Germany, I get the most traffic from my former home state of Virgina, mostly from Richmond where I spent 6 of the last 7 years living. And, I found out today I am not going to be able to make it to vote, so you need to vote for me and Vote For Barack Obama… who is in no way Muslim. Barack is the man to make real change in this country. He is going to make us believe in America again. In case you missed my endorsement, it is available here. So go Vote.. and in case for some reason you are an asshole and a registered republican, vote Huckabee, because despite the fact that he is a religious wacko and would be a worse president than Bush, him winning VA would be a major blow to the McCain campaign.

Okay! Go vote! And Vote Obama!

PS. This video makes me cry.

I was thinking about calling this post The Death Of An Icon, or The Death Of The American Dream.  Because that’s what this is.  Polaroid has stopped making… Polaroids.  Wtf?  Even if they are not making a lot of money on the product, the brand recognition is so important.  I can’t imagine there loss or revenue that would be caused by the loss of the film and the loss of the word Polaroid in modern parlance.   Anyway, the NY Times article about it suggests that they are going to try to sell off the rights to their instant film line so that maybe someone will pick up the ball they dropped and run with it.

Anyway, anything I can say was probably better said by my friend Joanna on her blog entry that first notified me of this travesty.   So just read her post.

I have been working on my Polaroid Project(NSFW) for 8 years now that involves over 150 girls and I am currently working on turning it into a book.  I guess this death of Polaroids is a fitting place to stop the collection and put out the book.   I just shot a full roll or Polaroids yesterday… this can’t be over.

I actually really want to document all of my shoes with Polaroid film… Check out my first attempt below.

Only a few hours until the polls open in New York and 21 other states. I am still registered in VA so I won’t be voting tomorrow, but I hope everyone who is registered in the 22 Super Tuesday states votes for someone. Be part of this process, it is your fucking life. I am sick of meeting people who just don’t give a fuck what happens around them unless it effects how much cocaine they do or how long the open bar lasts. Do some reading, make a choice and vote. If not tomorrow, you better vote in September November. If for some insane reason you aren’t registered take 5 minutes and do that now. With the war, our crumbling environment, health care and education crises this could be the most important election of your life. We also have a chance to be part of history in electing the first non-white male into office. Which while not a reason to vote for someone, progress is still pretty fucking exciting.

Now, if I can influence you to vote at all, I hope maybe somehow I can influence your vote. As you may know, I endorsed Barack Obama for President. This is pretty much put up or shut up for him. He is the underdog here and he probably needs to stay within 100 delegates of Hillary to stay in this election. History has shown that underdogs who stay in the race tend to fare better towards the end of the primary season. So even if he doesn’t win a state he can still collect delegates so every vote counts.

Okay, enough preaching. This is exciting. See you guys tomorrow!

Holy, shit, best night ever. The 1972 Dolphins are still the only undefeated team of all time. God bless the New York Giants for wiping up the field with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Today I was going to post a bunch of naked stuff, but this is way too great. FUCK THE PATS! Oh man. Oh joy. More 1972 Dolphins/ New York Giants praise when I wake up tomorrow!

I didn’t bring my camera out with me tonight, but I borrowed my friends camera and ran into the streets and took random photos of drunk screaming Giants fans. These might be the worst photos I have ever taken. There is a sort of celebrity sighting too… my friend Aziz Ansari from MTVs Human Giant was roaming the street and ended up in my gallery. Photos are here, and look how happy I was after the Giants scored with less than a minute to go.

PS. Seriously, my teeth are not that yellow in real life.

I have stayed pretty quiet about politics on DBB and intentionally so. I am someone who has always been very interested in politics and in the past have campaigned for people. In 2004 I worked for Wes Clark and in 2000 I registered as a republican so I could vote for John McCain in the primaries. After I campaigned for Clark and then again for Kerry in 2004 I was pretty much destroyed with Bush won a second term. I just felt like the bad guys had won and I was devastated. For the next few years I was completely disinterested in politics.

I am very liberal, but in this current election I have sort of stayed out of the way. On the issues Mike Gravel is pretty close to what I believe in… But of the two candidates who actually have a shot, I think they would both make good presidents. Hillary’s attempts at health care reform during Bill’s term in office were inspiring and I have always appreciated that. I think she knows how to get legislation passed and has a good track record in congress. I think her vote to go to war has been slightly blown out of proportion. The majority of people were in agreement with that vote at the time, but I was not one of them, and neither was Barack Obama.

In 2004 we all watched Obama become a celebrity over night. His speech at the Democratic National Convention (Part 2) inspired everyone in the party. I thought that a few years down the road he would make an excellent presidential nominee. I figured a few years in the senate was not enough to base a presidential run on. Clearly I was wrong.

With the two of them head to head I was worried about their electablity. Not only would it be harder to elect a woman or an African American, but I think that Clinton can be very unlikeable and Obama has the issues of inexperience. I told myself that I would just wait to see who came out on top, and then get behind that campaign. I didn’t even get my registration moved from VA, to NY in order to vote on Tuesday. I figured I would worry about it later, and until yesterday I was okay with that.

Last night, my mother changed my mind. My mom is extremely active in politics. She was the woman who got me to really get behind Wes Clark, and she is the woman who has pulled me into the Obama camp. After Tuesday, it might be too late, but I will do what I can in the next few days. What she said to me really made a difference. We had a two hour conversation about the campaigns and I had to pretty much hang up with her around midnight because I needed to go out. She told me that seeing Obama speak was like watching JFK. She said that he is the type of leader that makes people understand they have to make sacrifices for the good of the nation. She talked to me about how before Reagan Republicans and Democrats worked together and actually got things done. There were compromises. Obama is someone that can bring this country together. He is a leader.

I think she is right. When I hear him speak I get excited. He has the overwhelming support of the youth vote, not just because he is young, but because he is the future. He is the next chapter in American history. I believe that both of the Democratic candidates have what it takes to be a good president, but Obama has what it takes to be a great leader. Watching clip after clip of him on YouTube just gets me excited. He will move millions; he has moved me.

This country wants change, and Barack Obama is the man to bring it.

New York, vote wisely this Tuesday. Your country needs you.
