Alizee

Another French Connection for you to take a look at. Alizee is basically the French version of Brittany Spears only a million times more attractive. I had an unhealthy obsession with her for many years. Watch this delicious video and you will see why. Now granted she is pop which I detest, however, I still find her music catchy and interesting. So I have put up the video "Jen Ai Marre" or "I'm Fed Up" in english. Try not to drool too much...

Emilie Simon

Continuing my series on French electronic music, I give you another one of my favorite French performers Emilie Simon. If you follow that link you will find a really cool cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity". For now check out the cool video of "Desert". This is the French version but you can also find the English version on youtube. Enjoy!

M83

So for the people that don't know me well, I would like to tell you I have a fetish for French electronic music. So I have decided to showcase some of my favorite French bands. Here is a video of the song "Teen Angst" by M83 who have just released a new album "Saturdays = Youth". I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Red Light, Green Light

So over the years I have been called all sorts of things. "Mr. E." and "Uncle Stinky" are among my more lovingly collected labels. Every now and then I run across someone that calls me a conspiracy theorist. Like the time that I insisted that North Dakota didn't really exist. Basically because I've never seen any real tangible proof that the state exists. For example I have never met anyone that lives in the state nor have I known someone that knows anyone from there. In all my life I have only seen one license plate from there not long after talking with someone about my theory. I think its a cover up by the government to make the country look bigger than it is. Alright so its my dumbest theory and I guess it would be a conspiracy-like.

Now one theory that I have always stuck with is that our government doesn't really do anything unless someone can make money off of it. Thats why our public schools are in a state of total disarray and textbooks cost ridiculous sums of money. It is also why you see most law enforcement handing out speeding tickets at "speed traps" just to match their quota. And one of the reasons why it costs 10 times as much to get a divorce as it does to get married. Now if that isn't enough hard proof then take a look at this article by the National Motorist Association.

So here is the idea. You have a camera attached to the lights at an intersection. When someone runs a red light you take a picture of their license plate. You then send them a lovely ticket in the mail. That way people actually pay attention to the light. Sounds like a good idea especially here in Salt Lake City since all the good Christians like to blow through stop lights. However, since governments are inherently corrupt, greedy and evil. They ignore public safety lower the yellow light time to say three seconds so that they can send out more tickets. So far the National Motorists Association has found six cities that where caught lowering the light time. There are bound to many more cities doing the same thing. So keep that in mind next time you run a into a quick yellow light.

Update: After talking with my favorite extremely talented server from the Piper Down I discovered that she is from North Dakota. So the bases for my whole existence (the belief that the state of North Dakota is a mythical place) is completely blown. So if you have any suggestions for a better conspiracy let me know!

Abstinence-Only in Florida

Kudos to Amelia for sending this gem to me. Because of their abstinence-only sex education program Teens in Florida believe that drinking bleach will prevent you from getting HIV and that drinking the magical viscous fluid "Mountain Dew" or smoking pot will prevent you from getting pregnant. You can read the article here.

Which brings me to my next point that people in Florida should abstain from having sex simply because they are dumb. Not only do they live in a severe hurricane zone that is full of crocodiles and can't seem to vote without cheating, but they put dumb legal shit on their websites.

If they do not give permission for the article to be "published", "broadcast" or "redistributed" then why do they have a links to email and post the article to newsvine, delicious, digg, facebook and reddit. Not to mention the fact that the story comes from the Associated Press and was posted before April 2nd. You can read a better version here.

Anyway I'm going exercise my right to fair use. Suckas!

The Adventures of Mr. Sock

So my little nephew Brendon, being the creative one that he is, was bored one day and came up with this. I'm trying to talk him into doing a series of them. I thought this one was quite neat. So I give you Mr. Sock.
