Prey for the Hunted

Art, as they say imitates life. Most of us whether we want to admit it or not have done some really embarrassing things in order to impress a member of the opposite sex, especially in high school. Some of us played sports, some joined the yearbook committee, hell maybe some of jumped aboard with the Future Business Leaders of America. For all of us losers that had a droopy eye, a limp, or  were just plain awkward, there is an amazing little movie that may make you feel a bit better about that stint in the environmental club. Rocket Science . Write this down. Get a pen, and scribble down this little gem by Jeffrey Blitz. It is about a New Jersey kid, Hal Hefner, that suffers with a stutter who joins the debate team at the urging of a sly little minx who our hero on the bus. What ensues can only be described as fucking glorious. It tosses your ass in a time machine to when you were a hapless romantic kid fumbling all over yourself, but unlike your real life this leaves you feeling a better, and dare I say touched. The acting is first rate, the premise is hilarious, and it will give you more Emo street cred than all owning all the Mineral records on vinyl.

Just when you think that companies had run out of tacky ways to help Rappers and Oil Magnates ruin individualize their ultra luxury cars you see something like this.  For a mere $25k (ish) a company called Alchemist will add the ultimate bling to your whip. We are talking about covering your car’s roof in 24k gold or platinum.

Sure adding gold to the roof of your car will make it marginally slower and it will handle worse,  but what it will really do is make you look like a silverspoon fed richie rich ass face who constantly needs attention and has something to prove because your daddy didn’t love you enough.

Unfortunately it is not a question of will these be popular but rather how popular. Two other questions also come to mind, how soon will it be before clever theives with sawsalls start making these golden chariots into convertibles and how long do I have to wait to see one of these on a honda civic.

Today Monday August 25 was the opening day for the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver. Living in Denver and being an Obama fan this week feels like living history. The climate is electric in Denver with dozens of media personalities and hundreds of police in riot gear, with supporters and protesters, pro-lifers and ultra Christians shouting out Bible passages it is unlike anything I have seen.

For many I think it is just an excuse to get in front of a camera with this cause or that, and for others (like myself) I think it is just to be part of the spectacle but people are flooding the streets in Denver. It is amazing to see people taking interest, whatever there motivation, and all I can think is that maybe our American Democracy with all its faults and flaws is not quite dead. More than anything I hope that this electric atmosphere and this media circus translate into record voting in November.

When people think of partying they probably think of the epic hollywood parties of California or the Hipster parties of NYC, but Waterloo Canada seems to be trying to put itself on the party map. On a regular Wednesday night a fun loving chap in Waterloo is taking the term party to a whole new level. James Boppre is an ex-con out on house arrest for drunk driving and weapons charges, and he has decided that this particular Wednesday is something worth celebrating. Despite his previous troubles with alcohol he starts his party by rounding up some cheap whiskey which promptly got him in the proper mood for the good times ahead. The next part of his night would require some wheels so he got in his trusty old pick up, the D.U.I mobile, and hit up all the Waterloo hot spots looking for some female company. He found a charming young lass at an agreeable rate who was also looking to party. At this point our captain and his new hooker friend drunk drive around town to find something hard enough to permanently revoke his house arrest status.

Score! They find some crack and begin the enchanting yet tawdry dance known as the high off my ass hooker hula. For even the hardest partyers among us this party would appear to be in full swing, but for Captain Canada he is not content to let this night end like every other Wednesday binge. He starts the truck, butt naked, and with crack smoke pouring from his nostrils he mashes the throttle. As he reaches warp speed, blowing stop lights, and swerving from lane to lane he commands his escort to start masturbating. This party is officially at 11, spearheaded by a drunk, cracked out, naked, nascar imitating, hillybilly with a raging boner. Basically he is the greatest threat to motorists in the history of paved roads.

Anyone who follows auto news looks forward to the annual assault of info on the Gumball 3000 rally. The Gumball 3000 Rally is the brain child of British playboy Maximillion Cooper who in 1999 invited 50 of his closest celebrity friends to have a 6 day rally driving party around Europe. That is how the Gumball Rally was born and it has been growing ever since.

The Rally is about high profile people in high dollar cars having a lot of fuck you fun. Don’t get me wrong I am fully planning on joining the Gumball ranks one day but it is equal parts cool and douche. On one hand the Gumball is a celbration of hot cars, it involves big parties and beautiful women, and it is a special kind of a "fuck you" to the law and the up-tightness of most of society. On the other hand the Gumball Rally is a vulgar display of wealth and superiority, and it is generally populated by total attention whores.

This years Gumball started in San Francisco on August 9th and is going from SF to LA, LA to Vegas, and from Vegas all the cars and Ralliers to party with Kim Jung il in North Korea, before ending their 6 day driving party in Beijing before the end of the Olympics. You can follow along with all the debachereous fun by visiting the official Gumball 300 site here , or read the blog here .
