Pharrell’s bizarre #Grammys hat goes viral, gets own Twitter account

Pretty sneaky, Pharrell! The ploy worked. Twitter was buzzing about singer/rapper/producer Pharrell’s Grammy Awards red carpet topper.

What does it remind you of?

Blago heads to Colo. prison

Crain’s Chicago Business:

Blagojevich left his home early Thursday for the trip that will end at a federal prison in Colorado, the latest chapter in a stunning downfall of a charismatic politician that has seemed more like a bizarre reality TV show than a legal battle.

In what has become a familiar scene in the three years since Blagojevich was taken out of his home in handcuffs by federal agents, the former governor bounded down the stairs of his home on Chicago’s North Side as a throng of cameramen, photographers and reporters crushed around him and well-wishers shouted encouragement.

And, as he has done repeatedly before and after his conviction on federal corruption charges, Blagojevich sounded an optimistic and even defiant note.

“I’m leaving with a heavy heart, a clear conscience and I have high, high hopes for the future,” said Blagojevich, wearing a dark shirt, sport coat and blue jeans.

Earlier at Twitchy, the press gaggle outside of Blagojevich’s house.

Many are the unindicted co-conspirators that Fitzgerald declined to prosecute . . . because?

Blago goes to jail today. In my lifetime there have been 6 Govs from my home state of IL, 3 have gone or are in prison. Pathetic

‘Bullet to the head’ video game allows players to shoot to kill NRA president

http://twitter.com/#!/Stump_Speech/status/291225443741347840

That’s right. Evidently, vile death threats aimed at NRA members isn’t enough. Now there is a video game where one can shoot NRA President David Keene in the face. Ah, new tone! Twitter users point out the irony: Anti-gun zealots who aim to shoot those with whom they disagree.

Warning: Graphic image.

https://twitter.com/AlanaBurkeSays/status/291230516563296256

Gateway Pundit reported on the downloadable game, and the forum wherein members discuss the game. “On the one hand, f*ck the NRA,” says one member. Then he, and other members, go on to worry that it might make fellow anti-gun zealots look bad. You think?

As per usual, it is those who walk in leftist lock-step who hurl hate and violent wishes.

Townhall’s Katie Pavlich has more:

The creator of the game identified as gizmo01942 Ediot says, “Share this everywhere, especially gun-nut and anti-game websites. Also see if you can’t send it in to the NRA somehow, like through the feedback on their website or something.”

And two more images from the downloadable game (Warning: Graphic).

Twitter users continue to react with disgust at this appalling game.

And, paging the lapdogs in the media!

https://twitter.com/Cherrynimbus/status/291234611722346497

Hmm. Sorry, they are too busy clutching their pearls over an NRA app.

https://twitter.com/morningmika/statuses/291146232875851776

Except, of course, the NRA app is not sick. And is not giddily saying “F*ck” anyone, nor allowing users to kill men by shooting them in the face.

https://twitter.com/DRUDGE_REPORT/status/290942548128722945

https://twitter.com/HCirmo/status/291231088137863168

Bingo.

https://twitter.com/AESPiano/status/291257684068548609

Hypocrisy? Sorry, buddy. Anti-gun zealots have that base repugnantly covered.

***

Update: The NRA app that has members of the media clutching their pearls may not even be an NRA app.

14 Mixed Messages All ’80s Kids Got From Cartoons

And they wonder why we’re so screwed up.

1. It’s alright that your boyfriend cheats on you.

Hasbro

Hasbro

 

Strangely, Jerrica never seemed to have much of an issue that her boyfriend, Rio, was having an affair with her alter-ego Jem.

2. It’s totally cool to take a controlled substance that gives you crazy energy and causes you to, literally, bounce off the walls.

Walt Disney Television

Clearly the Gummiberry Juice that the Gummi Bears made was some sort of crazy meth — which might explain why Duke Igthorn really wanted it.

3. It’s perfectly OK to terrorize senior citizens.

Cookie Jar Group

Cookie Jar Group

 

Poor retired Mr. Wilson, he just wanted to live a peaceful quite life, but Dennis and his gang felt the need to torment him. And even worse, Dennis’ parents seemed perfectly cool with that.

4. No one ever gets hurt in gun battles.

Hasbro

For as many battles as the G.I. Joe Team got in with Cobra Command, no one ever seemed to get wounded. Maybe the fact that they were such bad marksmen was the reason they could never take down Cobra?

5. You might have a long lost sibling out there that you might want to hook up with.

Warner Bros.

I think it’s safe to say that He-Man and She-Ra were the original Jaime and Cersei Lannister. And don’t act like you didn’t ship it.

6. It’s OK to harm someone as long as you’re doing it because of love.

Seriously, that Care Bear stare was NO JOKE. The Care Bears might have seemed like cuddly harmless creatures, but they weren’t above taking you down.

7. If a crime happens, you should help solve it.

Walt Disney Television

The Rescue Rangers were always snooping in on the police and taking on cases that probably should’ve been handled by actual law enforcement — or at least professional rodent law enforcement.

8. It’s perfectly safe to leave toddlers unsupervised for several hours.

Like who in the hell was raising all those Muppet Babies?! ‘Cause it sure as hell wasn’t Nanny — who never seemed to be around.

9. You should love money more than anything else.

Walt Disney Animation / Via giphy.com

Sure, Scrooge McDuck had a rather large extended family, he was even raising his three grandnephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie. But what he seemed to care for the most was his vast fortune and his Number One Dime.

10. If you’re the only female in a situation, expect to get harassed, constantly.

Poor Smurfette, those perpetually horny Smurfs seemed to never give her a second to breathe.

11. It’s normal for a creepy adult to hang out with a teenage girl.

A creepy poltergeist adult to be exact. Let’s be honest, Beetlejuice and Lydia’s relationship was clearly a (paranormal) episode of To Catch a Predator waiting to happen.

Also, why weren’t Lydia’s parents just a little more concerned with the fact that she was very obsessed with the occult?

12. Being a super-rich teenager gives you permission to be ruthless and mistreat those who are not as well off as you.

Mill Creek Entertainment

Beverly Hills Teens was perfectly suited for the ’80s, the decade of excess. The show featured rich spoiled teenagers that in between attending high school, spent all their time living a Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous wet dream. Of course the show’s true star was Bianca Dupree, who was the series’ resident villain who used her money to scheme against her friends and be cruel to her chauffeur Wilshire.

13. It’s fine to keep secrets from adults.

Yeah having a dinosaur friend like Denver would be cool, but having it possibly kill one of your friends, not so cool.

But, you know, don’t let your parents know ‘cause they might take your dangerous friend away.

14. You should strive to be irresponsible and constantly stoned.

The Jim Henson Company / Via muppet.wikia.com

Those Fraggles were high-as-fuck 24/7, and they did nothing but lay around, have the munchies, and share in each others trippy dreams.

On second thought, those hippie Fraggles were onto something.
