People I Want To Punch

The following is a group of people I would like to punch, just for the joy in doing it.

Barry Bonds Barry you are ridiculous. Everybody you have associated yourself with has been busted for taking steriods, or providing steroids. You have a TV show that basically tries to convice everyone that you are a good person, but I don't think you are. So here is what I have to say to you, first admit you took steriods, then pull a Raphael Palmero, and quit baseball. Just tell us why you have to keep lying about "not knowing" and just say, "I did it." Wait no, the damage has been done. I want to punch you in your steroid shrunken testicles.

Eduardo Najera Ok, no one likes this guy. I mean, are you trying to be pretty, or are you just a homo? I mean, you try to be tough and pretty all at the same time. Unfortunately every time I look at you I get angry because you have a look on your face like you have never done anythng wrong in your life, and you get a foul called on you, and you get that puzzled look in your eyes saying "who me". Give me a break. I want to punch you, in your nose, then both of your eyes, beautiful.

Fred Durst You are not as cool as you think you are. Everyone else, just look at the picture and tell me why you would want to punch him. You are not a girl. You are not black. You aren't even talented Mr. Durst. You have piggybacked on talented people, and now somehow you still think that you are popular. There was a time when people thought you were cool, then they realized how much of a chump you were. I still think Scott Stapp would beat you up. I would love to punch you, right in your peepee, if I can find it.

Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert Hosts of the "Let's Mock Republicans Hour" err...."The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central. Ok there was a time when these guys were incredibly creative and the shows were smart and witty and intelligent. Now, they do the same thing every show. Find a Republican, or Conservative idea, and make fun of it. I guess they are an easy target, they are the majority in the US. They actually believe in something and will stick with it even if it is unpopular. I guess making fun of people with convictions is really easy, especially when you associate yourself with people who think not believing anything is the best thing in the world. Don't get me wrong I love a good satire, but any joke gets old if it is told enough. I would punch you both in the jaw.

Bono I am aware that there is poverty. Why don't you put down the microphone and go to the poor and oppressed that you are making people aware of and actually help them. I am sure this is how your conversations went with world leaders:

"Hello"
"Hello world leader this is Bono, from the band U2, do you know why I am calling?"
"Why hello Bono, good to hear from you, I would love to know why you are calling."
"World leader are you aware there is poverty in your nation?"
"Yes. In fact I make my policy in a way so that the US will give me money to do something about it while I pocket the money. I am corrupt and will take it any way I can."
"Oh, well as long as you know. How are your kids, I have millions of dollars to spend on this and I have only been on the phone for 10 minutes, because every world leader seems to be aware there is poverty?"

"Hello....Hello?"

Sorry Bono, I want to punch you in your smug little face.

Hustle & Flow

And that (above photo), dear friends, is the single moment in Hustle & Flow that causes audience to feel an actual emotion, unless, of course, the audience is filled with pimps from Memphis.

Seriously. I can't identify with the characters, the main character doesn't show any redemptive characteristics, and the music isn't really that good as far as this type of music goes. So what was in it for me? Well, I can say that I really did admire Terrence Howard's ability to morph himself into a rapping pimp. All of the other actors convincingly portrayed their characters as well. So I guess for the acting, I would say that the movie was worth a watch.

As for the rest of the movie, it started out interesting as D-Jay decides he wants to get into the music business with a guy who's always wanted to record something better than the boring things he does for a living. The odd pimp house lifestyle is even a little bit intriguing for a little while. After the pumped up sensations of the recording session for "It's Hard Out There for a Pimp", the movie takes a dive into boredom, and then twists into an unexpected but not really believable ending that felt completely tacked on. It just didn't flow with the rest of the movie.

Anyway, I wasn't all that impressed by anything but Howard, who really had his break-out period in the past couple of years, being seen in Ray, this movie, Crash, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Four Brothers, and Get Rich or Die Tryin'. Not that I saw all of those movies. Oh yeah. Ludacris. I like his acting too.
