A few days ago Shepard Fairey (the Giant Obey/Obama Hope Poster dude) was on the Charlie Rose Show to promote his upcoming Boston Art Gallery Show (debuting tomorrow). It's pretty funny seeing Mr. Rose try his best to understand what Fairey does. Charlie Rose comes across as super awkward... but Shepard Fairey does an excellent job of breaking things down for the old man! I still don't think Charlie gets it. :-)

I am still amazed at how instrumental Fairey's contribution has been to the Obama Presidential Campaign. Over time, the Obey Giant "posse" has become an efficient street distribution system. Instead of drugs, Fairey's used it to perpetuate his artistic/political agenda. Mad respect.

Thank goodness, the uber-conservative Right didn't have a good grasp of Art History. Shepard Fairey's criminal record (a result of his firm commitment to Street Art) and his Soviet Communism Propaganda inspired art style could have potentially weakened the Obama campaign by reaffirming unfounded fears of Barack Obama.

Instead we have a merging of Art and Politics on a Mainstream scale that embraces merit over shortcomings.

Those SNL guys should just focus on doing spoof pop songs because whenever they do one, it ends up being amazing. I love the random 2 second Justin Timberlake appearance. A shout out to Mista Hippo over at Get Downnn for reminding me about this. When it originally aired, my wife forced me to watch it ten times.

So VH1's "Pick Up Artist 2" is done. The deserved winner was announced. And I can't wait for next season.

There's something so pure about the concept of teaching a bunch of dorks to become masters at "Picking up" women. It's human sexuality at it's most basic level.

But nobody has figured out where Pick Up "Artists" Mystery and Matador get their wacky fashion tips from: the "One Piece" manga. Think I'm crazy? Well, check out the included illustrations by "One Piece" creator Eichiro Oda and decide for yourself. Oda must be proud!

Here's a great clip from Season 2:

I've been pretty fascinated with Joe Rogan (comedian/martial artist/Fear Factor host). We all know him best as the host of Fear Factor... but he's made quite a name for himself as the outspoken comedian who's made it his obsessive mission to show the world that Carlos Mencia is a comedy skit thief.

Carlos Mencia is still a rather successful comedian with his "Mind of Mencia" Show on Comedy Central... but the proof is pretty damning.

Beyond "outing" Mencia, Rogan is very vocal about his experiences with hallucinogenic drugs and spirituality. His DMT talks sounds like it was taken word for word from Grant Morrison's "Invisibles" comic (is he stealing? ;-) ). His discussions about Float Tanks has me pretty interested in trying one out. His bit on Playboy's Hugh Hefner is hilarious.

I posted Sarah Silverman's "confession" to boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel. So, it's my duty to share with you Jimmy Kimmel's response.

Kimmel's "answer" isn't as catchy as Silverman's but the concept and All-Star guest appearances make it worthwhile to see.

Thanks to a kind post from "Clark" we were made aware that our Tequila Toy is featured on NBC's "30 Rock" Television Series. In a set tour of the show, Tequila can be seen on the office bookshelf of Frank Rossitano (played by Judah Friedlander). At about 1:33 of the Tour you can see a clear shot of Tequila.

We are super flattered to be a background prop on such a great show! Thanks Clark for the heads up!
