white men are so oppressed.
sadly, the following story is not from the onion:
A new professional basketball league called the All-American Basketball Alliance (AABA) sent out a press release on Sunday saying that it intends to start its inaugural season in June, with teams in 12 U.S. cities. However, the AABA is different from other sports leagues because only players who are “natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league.” AABA commissioner Don “Moose” Lewis insists that he’s not racist, but he just wants to get away from the “street-ball” played by “people of color” and back to “fundamental basketball.” Lewis cited the recent incidents of bad behavior by NBA players, implying that such actions would never happen with white players:
“There’s nothing hatred about what we’re doing,” he said. “I don’t hate anyone of color. But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now. Here’s a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like.” [...]
He pointed out recent incidents in the NBA, including Gilbert Arenas’ indefinite suspension after bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room, as examples of fans’ dissatisfaction with the way current professional sports are run.
“Would you want to go to the game and worry about a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?” he said. “That’s the culture today, and in a free country we should have the right to move ourselves in a better direction.”
The AABA is targeting Southern cities, but one proposed city — Augusta, GA — is opposed to the league.

An Interview with Retired Haitian NBA player Olden Polynice
Dave Zirin: I have to ask you your thoughts about Pat Robertson saying the earthquake happened because Haiti made a pact with the devil for independence.
Olden Polynice: Pat Robertson can suck a big one--you can quote me on that. He is not a man of God and shouldn't claim to be. And you can quote me on that. Please.

I like a katy perry song?
Hot N Cold Rain by whitepandamusic
Katy Perry's music is like a panda having a heart attack: It's just sad. But this remix is like a panda finding out it has low cholesterol and then celebrating by having a giant cheeseburger: Happy. But still questionable...
Edit: The verdict is nay, I do not really like this song, but I figured you guys might like it.

Lagos Town
While your "hip" aunt was blasting M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" at that awkward family barbecue, Nigerian rapper Afrikan Boy was spitting an AWESOME guest appearance on M.I.A.'s "Hussel" (the best avant-garde electro hip-hop song ever?). If you don't want to dress and dance like they do in the video, you probably have no soul.
This is why we need to donate billions of dollars to AIDS programs in Africa and end the genocide in Darfur. Because I want these people my life (fo reals).
Brought to you by the letter...
jj is a swedish pop duo. They combine the best parts of swedish pop and american hip-hop. They have been my favorite band for about the last 3 months and I am seeing them in March. You should like them.
"Pillz" is technically a song by an English producer by the name of Zomby (or maybe not), but Gucci Mane is the man on the mic.

Speaking exclusively with ComingSoon.net on Sunday at the press junket for When in Rome, Will Arnett confirmed that an Arrested Development feature film should go into production sometime this year.
"I'm so glad you asked that," joked Arnett, who has been questioned about the series' fate since it went off the air in 2006. "It's very refreshing. We are working on the movie right now, yeah... We don't have a completed script yet, but it's forthcoming and we're going to make the movie this year."
When asked if he thought the cameras would actually roll before year's end, Arnett seemed resolute.
"That's the plan," said the actor in earnest, before deadpanning, "We're hoping once Jason Bateman gets out of rehab. I think that we're going to start shooting. Oh, was I not supposed to...? Please don't air that."

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs has announced today that while the annual speech has not been officially scheduled, the big to-do will definitely not land on Tuesday, Feb. 2, as was previously feared.
The topic came up at today's White House press briefing when ABC Radio reporter Ann Compton asked about the scheduling situation. Gibbs responded, "I don't foresee a scenario in which millions people who hope to finally get some conclusion with Lost are preempted by the president."

Oh hell no
President Obama might give his State of the Union speech on Feb. 2. The first person to tell me why that sucks gets a high-five.
I'm assuming this was from last years Pride Parade
At the gym this morning, I saw a woman wearing a t-shirt with this printed on the back:
Homo estas?
LGBT: Large Gourmet Burritos and Tacos
Pride '09

George Michael > Michael Cera
Michael Cera is filming an MTV special with the cast of Jersey Shore. This does not make me mad because Cera did not want to do Arrested Development movie (initially). He was also in "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist." Touchdown, Karma.

A baby with rainbow laser eyes
The Flaming Lips released their latest album, The Flaming Lips and Stardeath and White Dwarfs With Henry Rollins and Peaches Doing The Dark Side of the Moon, on December 22, 2009. It is a song-for-song remake of the classic Pink Floyd album.
Peaches (yes, Peaches) is featured on the "The Great Gig In The Sky," which happens to be my favorite Pink Floyd song.
How delightfully odd.

this is my happy place.
D and i went to philly this week and drove past philadelphia's magic gardens on south street. words can't do this place justice. this folk artist, isaiah zagar, tiled the entire in and outside of his home and created an outdoor labyrinthine mosaic art piece in an empty lot next to his house. it took him 14 years to finish the space and he has a bunch of other mosaic pieces on other buildings on south street. i'm pretty sure it is the most beautiful place i've ever seen in my life and you should all go there.
more pictures under the cut
