WTF Fashion – Swimsuits…okay let me explain…

I was searching for bad swimsuit photos to get a laugh…perhaps put up some warnings for males who may decide to slip into that  Speedo again this summer for some unknown fucking reason.  (What makes dudes do that?)  Anyways…while looking for these photos…I happened upon this (at some type of swimsuit site).  I don’t really think I need to explain what it is…okay…for those who are idiots…it is a type of “bag” to hold your junk. 

Does this qualify as a swimsuit?!?  The dude is obviously sitting on a bench…it could be at the beach…

Anyways…this is a definite “NO” if you plan to hit the beach or anytime for any matter (in my opinion at least)…I don’t think my junk was meant to get squished together in some little bag with a Velcro strip….then you have the whole “bush” issue you have to worry about…that is another topic.

Chrysler is going to file for bankruptcy today…

This is the other item in the news grabbing a lot of attention.  It looks pretty grim for the automaker.  In the story from Reuters…

“Despite intense negotiations over the past few weeks, Chrysler failed to gain the full support from its lenders that it needed to move forward with a restructuring and avoid the first-ever bankruptcy filing by a major U.S. automaker.

The Chapter 11 filing, which sources said would be done in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, will send shock waves through the entire auto industry — including Chrysler’s rivals, suppliers, dealers and the many hundreds of thousands who rely on the industry for their livelihoods.”

I own a Chrysler product…I can understand why they might go bankrupt…I was not going to buy another one anyways…like many other disgruntled Chrysler product owners.

Why are we surprised about the “swine flu”?

It has been difficult finding stories over the past couple of days to write about.  The news about the “swine flu” has seized control of all major (and minor) news agencies around the world…is this news THAT surprising?!?  People travel in sealed cylinders in the sky to reach Mexico…and of course…many of the destinations do not have the sanitary standards that we take for granted in our “developed world”.  Vacationers exploit these areas by spending the equivalent of what would be sometimes a yearly salary for an average inhabitant…on a plane ticket/accommodations and then romp around for a week or two enjoying all the “benefits” of the area.

Let us remember that the following information has always been available…

In Mexico…the average income (all sectors) = $351/month not including income tax (2005)…the population of Mexico is 109 955 400 (2008).  The population of Mexico City is 8 836 045.  The unemployment rate in Mexico is 3.7% (2008)…underemployment rate is at 25%….The total population below the poverty line using the “food-based definition” is amounted to be more than 40%. (2006)  The Mexican government is losing a lot of its revenue to corruption and a “war on drugs” that is extremely expensive…how could a reasonable individual expect that the country would have the proper infrastructure or focus to contain disease in such overpopulated, impoverished areas? 

The Mexican government is unable to afford the expense of expanding sewer systems and other public works projects to raise the standard of living and sanitation for its citizens…why is it SOOO bloody surprising that when vacationers go visit these places…there is a chance for them to pick up a communicable disease and transport if back to their place of origin?  It is not Mexico’s fault…citizens from developed nations need to take more responsibility for their actions by understanding the risks associated with their travel… they also have to understand that they may need to be quarantined when they return home to ensure the safety of their fellow citizens.  (This cost should be picked up by the traveler if they knowingly travel to high-risk areas.)

WTF Fashion – These Jeans could be good…could be bad…

I have been seeing this style in the bad fashion articles.  I think it can go both ways…  If you have fit women wearing thongs that would like to wear this type of fashion…I say…go to it.  I would find nothing wrong going to the store and seeing those pants on a similar lady with the addition of a thong.  No thong is going a bit too far…some may disagree…

What could be bad about this style is the following…grossly fat people trying to squeeze into them on a Friday afternoon and going to the grocery store to waddle across the fried food section as they expose their crater ridden ass.  It would be a frightful sight…and even more frightful would be the men…because you know that some dude would try to sport them…either completely oblivious…or certainly something…

Mexico…ugh

Yet another reason to stay out of Mexico…the “swine flu”…  Only a couple of weeks ago we learned that Conquest Vacations Inc. customers were being harassed by Mexican authorities and resort personnel who were trying to swindle extra $$$ for all inclusive reservations from customers who already paid Conquest Vacations Inc.…now we learn that there is a “swine flu” that can reach epidemic proportions. 

When are people going to realize that they should stay the fuck out of Mexico until that country can figure out a solution for their corruption and credibility problems….between the drug killings, tourist killings and robberies, detaining individuals for alleged crimes without the opportunity of fair trials…I don’t see what the attraction of going to Mexico is?  You can’t even eat the food or drink the water…everything is toxic…from the food…to the politicians…to law enforcement.

I will leave some links to Mexico articles:

Swine Flu:

Bra Saves Woman’s Life in Gangsta Town

I thought this was interesting from Reuters…  A bra deflected a bullet aimed at a woman.  I guess some mean fuckers in Detroit were doing a “B&E”…some woman pops her head out to take a look…and the guy shoots at the woman.  Now think about that…a “B&E” turns into an attempted murder in the squeeze of a trigger…whatever happened to criminals just running away during a “B&E”…what kind of place is Detroit these days?!?!  They want the DVDs so bad that they are killing for them?! 

Anyways…back to the story…the underwire on the bra deflected the bullet and saved her life….to quote the article, “The bullet struck the underwire on the woman’s bra and that saved her from a more serious injury, police said.”

Here is the link to the article:

Duane “Dog” Chapman was almost shot…

According to CNN…a fugitive fired a gun at the famous mullet wearing bounty hunter.  I lost interest in this show when he apprehended a “wanted” individual…drove the guy to the jail…prayed and ate birthday cake with him…filmed it all (of course)…and then handed the guy over to the police…yes…true story.  I worry about “dog”…I worry that he believes his own “shit theories” about people wanting to do the right fucking thing…and perhaps his belief in God is making him a little less understanding of his own mortality and the need for better security.  At some point…if the show is actually legitimate…the Chapman crew will run into a mean fucker who will stop at nothing to get away.

Here is the link to the CNN article…

What the movie “Fighting” is trying to sensationalize?!?

This is a little more real version of what happens during bare-knuckled fighting…I figured I would post these if you were questioning what the “Kimbo Phenomenon” was…not a very glamorous hobby…

Fighting…the movie…ugh

Fighting…the movie…what can I say?  I could barely make it through the trailer that seems to run endlessly on the web and on television.  It looks like a “piece of shit” film.  Someone…obviously wanted to capitalize off the “Kimbo phenomenon” and decided to make a shit movie with a “white small town boy”…who is “barely earning a living selling counterfeit goods”…wtf?!?  What happened to the small town kid that goes to the big city and has to work in a factory or in some shitty service job?  I guess that must be too unrealistic… 

If you spend money on this film you are a fool…if you steal it from the internet and sell bootlegs to people…you may be forgiven.  If you buy a bootleg of this film you are still a fool.   

I found a brief synopsis of the “shit” film:

“Small-town boy Shawn MacArthur has come to New York City with nothing. Barely earning a living selling counterfeit goods on the streets, his luck changes when scam artist Harvey Boarden sees that he has a natural talent for streetfighting. When Harvey offers Shawn help at making the real cash, the two form an uneasy partnership. As Shawn’s manager, Harvey introduces him to the corrupt bare-knuckle circuit, where rich men bet on disposable pawns. Almost overnight, he becomes a star brawler, taking down professional boxers, mixed martial arts champs and ultimate fighters in a series of staggeringly intense bouts. But if Shawn ever hopes to escape the dark world in which he’s found himself, he must now face the toughest fight of his life.” (Hollywood.com)

David Kellermann – CFO for Freddie Mac Commits Suicide….

I was just reading the morning news cycle and found this story from Reuters.  It is always sad when someone takes their own life…but this is not what I am here to discuss…  Stories like these tend to make me believe that when top-executives for major companies in financial trouble start killing themselves…they are either covering up some illegal activity or they would rather die than expose the “shady work” of other corrupt individuals…
