Bootleg DVDs are actually Porn

The other day I jumped on a near empty V line car at 2nd Ave and noticed on the seat across from me a bootleg DVD of Kung Fu Panda. Eyebrow raised and a quick look around, I noticed there were actually two; one resting on a seat a few rows down with no riders in close proximity to claim ownership to either. Cool. I’ll check it out.

The package is like all you’ve seen: cover shot of the movie poster, inside a printed label as well on a burned DVD. KFP is not a flick I would pay for in the theater, mail home on netflix and I don’t buy bootlegs but a free option is gold right?

Last night with the woman, I throw together some dinner and get down to watch this vid. The first screen shot after a moment of darkness is of a giant black dick being sucked off by a wide eyed, sex starved skank, proceeded by 6 additional scenes of some hardcore gonzo action…

I won’t get into how long we actually watched this – but first I was shocked (this was not expected), then disappointed (I actually prepped myself to get into Jack Black’s stoner panda roll), then amused (at the bait n switch), and then pissed off (had I had kids and popped this in, I’d be hard pressed to explain this after jumping for the power off button).

Moral is, get your p0rn off the internet like everyone else?….no… you get what you pay for?… don’t buy bootlegs? well what ever.. it was an entertaining ruse I thought I would share…

Skidoosh!

The Gas Tax Hustle

If you’re listening to the political hype about the “Gas Tax Holiday” you know about this program that’s proposed initially by McCain (video) and backed by McCain and Hillary (opposed by Obama), which offers a break (3 months) from paying the taxes on gasoline through the summer – designed on the surface to ease the spending for Americans on gasoline for summer travel etc.

If you care enough to dig through this bullshit, they you’ll learn enough that this plan is fundamentally flawed for Americans and could actually be detrimental to the US economy as a result (says notable scholars and economists).

The highlights:

  • The plan would ultimately benefit the Oil Companies not the American people. There are no restrictions in the plan to prevent oil companies to further raise the price of gas to accomodate a cut in price. Ultimately we could pay the same and when the tax gets implemented again – BAM! a drastic increase.
  • The national average price of gas when this was first announced was $3.38, the current average as of today is $3.67 Cutting the cost by 18 cents (the current tax levied) amounts to less than a 5% reduction. This reduction could mean an average savings of between $20 and $28 per person depending on the source.

    Wow that’s totally enough to have a holiday in Flushing for a day!!! What a scam.
