Well I sent this article over to a friend that writes for a feminist blog.  Of course when I sent it to her, I got the "no, she sucks."  Which actually cracked my stupid ass up rather well.  Then again this involves shitty pop music and religion.  Two things that should work out grandly together if you know what I mean.

The article in question actually comes from CNN so that adds to this entire thing.  Apparently Avril Lavigne is far too sexy for their really stupid religious standards.  So women can’t perform unless they’re in a burka?  Oh wait, that’s not the rules in that country.  Here they are.

Malaysia requires all performers to wear clothes without obscene or drug-related images and be covered from chest to knees. They must also refrain from jumping, shouting, hugging and kissing on stage

This leaves so much up for interpretation.  A full latex body suit for example meets those requirements.  I’m certain there happens to be more needed there, but that’s all I have to go by.  I’m certain judging by the pictures of her that I’ve seen over the years.

Yet again, it’s modern society being brought down by the man of some stupid mythical figure out there in the clouds.  Come on people.  Grow the fuck up, don’t live your lives being scared you’re going to be spanked when you die.  You don’t know what happens, and neither do I.

In the final part for that.  That picture came up on a google image search for malaysian muslims.

I’ve had a pretty stupid idea for a comic strip in my head for a long time.  Just have never really felt like I was a decent artist in the slightest as I can barely draw stick figures or even concentric circles.  Part of the curse of being left handed I suppose.  Well for shits and giggles I started sketching out the three pigeons that I need for this idea.  They seemed to be the easier of the two animals.

Basic premise is that the pigeons are trying to be all urban, hip, ghetto, while they’re actually from somewhere out in BFE.  Of course they’re going to run into a racket of street savvy squirrels that know the ins and outs of city life.

I don’t know why this sounds funny to me but it could be quite the laugh riot.  My first dealings with pigeons was on the farm I grew up on.  They were the dumbest birds I’ve ever seen.  So when I moved into the city and saw them acting like morons there I figured they were all pretty silly and stupid. 

Squirrels on the other hand seem to be shifty and always stealing shit from cart vendors.  Or just getting into all sorts of trouble.

There’s my first ideas.  I’m sure they’ll change greatly if I continue with this.  Just thought I’d share an idea with everyone.

It’s been a pretty heavy movie time lately.  Been pretty burned out and don’t really feel like doing too much.  The things I do feel like doing I don’t have the time for, or I just don’t have the gumption after doing crazy amounts of work and frying the brain.  On one of our more recent trips to Hollywood Video we picked up Confessions of a Superhero.  It’s a pretty weird idea for a documentary but one that works none the less.

It follows four of the many street "performers" and pan handlers on Hollywood Blvd in Hollywood of course.  You have Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and the Incredible Hulk.  Why they chose three DC characters at first is beyond me ;)  Maybe there’s really not that many Marvel characters out there.  I also doubt there’s many independent characters as well.

Each person has a very similar story.  They all want to be stars.  They all come from a strange background, or from a poor one.  The exception is Superman who claims to be the orphan son of Sandy Dennis, though her family claims differently.  Odds are, despite being a nice guy, he’s a bit of a nut case.

I do hope that the Hulk makes it.  He’s honestly trying hard and doing his own thing.  Was homeless for four years while pursuing his dream.  That takes a lot of constitution.  By the end of the documentary he did win a role in a pretty shitty remake of Bruce Lee’s last film.  Though you have to start somewhere.

Batman is just a fucking looney bin.  Has some serious anger issues, and alluded to killing someone in the 80s.  If that’s true, he’ll probably end up in jail.  Not get scott free as he claims because of the way evidence was able to be obliterated back then.  If anything now a days the cops are able to find more evidence from cold cases than they were back then.

I honestly really didn’t care much for Wonder Woman as a person.  She seemed like the spoiled little princess from a small town to me.  She seemed like a crazy and good sort though.  Willing to do things, like marrying someone four days after meeting them, that most people wouldn’t do.  She might make it, but the way she talked it seemed like she isn’t really going to push extra hard.

Superman is definitely obsessed with what he does.  15 years doing the same thing?  Yeah that’s a little nutty, I would have gone on to do something else with my time.  His apartment is also completely covered wall to wall, floor to ceiling with anything Superman.  Yegad.  Though it was nice that he married his lady at the Superman convention in Metropolis Illinois dressed like Superman.  I may be a geek and a nerd, but there’s no way in hell I’d go that far.
