iPhone iDiots Finally Get a Phucking Clue

My contempt for Apple and any & everything that begins with a lower-case "i" and the sheeple that think Steve Jobs is the reincarnation of Christ and his let's-make-it-white "designers" are modern-day Apostles making life worth living is near legendary so it should come as no surprise that I'm once again shining a blaring spotlight on the elitist stupidity of the most absolutely ridiculous and over-hyped gadget ever conceived.

According to the New York TImes, the friggin' iDiots out at the fruit stand in Cupertino have brought us a genuine forehead-slappin' OMG innovation:

"Succumbing to consumer demand, Apple will finally add basic features like voice dialing and an improved camera."

Oooh, and it'll even shoot video!

If you're a fan-boy and I've hurt your feelings or offended your artistic arrogance sensibility, you can kiss my lilly-white ass; I'm sure "there's an app for that".

Friggin' iDiots.

Pay Attention... Don't Pay the Price

This is probably the most powerful four minutes of film ever I've ever seen. Judge for your self.

Concert Photos: The Tragically Hip - Fillmore Detroit 05.29.09

I shot these photos from the mezzanine Friday night during The Tragically Hip show at the Fillmore - Detroit (formerly The State Theatre). I had to forego the Saturday show for game one of the Stanley Cup Finals. But that's another story.

I can't help but wonder if the passengers from white party bus parked out front and blasting the Day For Night album before the show were from the Hipbase or just a bunch of "regular" Hip fans.

If you prefer, you can also browse the images in my Flickr collection. Regardless of where they're published, they are under copyright.

From the 2009 We Are the Same Tour, I present The Tragically Hip:

Blue October Gallery - Emerald Theater

I've posted them elsewhere but the more the merrier and there's no place like home so here's a taste of the pictures I took at last night's Blue October show at the Emerald Theater in Mt. Clemens:

While they've achieved moderate mainstream success, like many of the bands I follow, outside a close-knit group of fans that live and breathe every subtle nuance of every lyric and melody Blue October is largely unkown to the masses. I guess that's a good thing because the sellout crowd was as much part of the show as the band and that only happens when the audience is filled with fans, not causal listeners.

Check out the entire gallery after the jump or view the slideshow at my official Blue October Community page.

Now, the Struggle Has a Name

Apologies in advance to any Tragically Hip fans that came here thinking this has anything to do with one of the more haunting tracks from We Are The Same but thanks to an anonymous reader calling him/herself "Baulsaak", the struggle to unmask the identity of the ravishing beauty featured in the Chester French "She Loves Everybody" video is over; her name is Lisa Marie Stelly.

An even bigger thanks to SAO-x-Sushi who has a must-see  PhotoBucket album dedicated to the stunning Ms.Stelly. Where the images came from isn't clear and I'm baffled by the lack of general information about her but clearly she's done some modeling and in addition to her turn as a bad-ass video babe, she's been featured (screen-cap at left) in an upside-down, down-under sounding deodorant commercial.

Check it out...

 

Upside-down or right-side up, Lisa Marie Stelly is absolutely breathtaking!

Chester French: Who's The Girl?

UPDATE: Who's the girl? Read this.

It's no secret that Chester French is buzz-worthy; their single "She Loves Everybody" has been getting significant exposure and the video is in heavy rotation on every MTV channel you can find. Conceptually, artistically and with simplistic execution it's quite possibly the greatest video to air on MTV since the cable network lost its focus on cutting edge music videos over a decade ago.

If you haven't seen it, you gotta check it out.

If you have, you're probably (like me) dying to know more about the talented and absolutely gorgeous actress that so effectively kicks D.A. and Max's asses while managing to be cute, sexy, and totally adorable.

Who is this saucy little minx in the Chester French video and where else can we see her? Does anyone know? I've scoured the Net for hours and there's nary a name or nugget of information to be found.

Who's the girl? Anyone? Bueller?

 

If you know, PLEASE comment! If you're clueless, check out the video and comment on that.

Survivor: Gabon - Episode 1 Screencap Gallery

The Survivor: Gabon (Survivor 17) Episode 1 Screencap Gallery is a week late so let's cut to the chase. Michelle Chase, that is, the fiercely competitive and clearly capable 24 year old hottie from southern California that was the first castaway voted off the continent by the Fang (pronounced 'fong') tribe, confirming her belief that "they're like the dumbest people on Earth".

Can't disagree; Michelle was the first female from either tribe to complete the grueling obstacle course challenge and they dump her to keep the oldest most useless woman on the continent. If the rest of the tribe had competed as hards as Michelle had, they probably wouldn't have lost the first Immunity Challenge. Fortunately, Fang's choice bit them in their collective ass as they lost the second Immunity Challenge and Gillian, the allegedly nice but totally worthless dead weight went next.

Considering the amount of face (and body) time Michelle was getting, her departure came as no surprise. As much as we'll miss her nearly naked body, at least she can eat a sandwich or three and put on some much needed poundage. Still, scrawny or not, nearly is nearly naked!

Plus, her tan-lines must have been as dangerous as Amanda Kimmel's ass as even the most harmless of shots were blurred by the network. I understand blurring the wet panties but tan-lines, WTF?

Bravo shows bare ass-cheeks in g-strings and CBS will show an exposed penis flopping around freely but blurs the most innocuous images. I don't get it.

Anyway, here are some guaranteed penis-free sample caps from Episode 1:

You'll find the entire 89 image gallery  featuring Survivor Gabon babes, Michelle Chase, Jacquie Berg, Jessica "Sugar" Kiper, Kelly Czarnecki, and the super sexy icy blue-eyed hottie, Corrine Kaplan.
