Kudos to pmt
I just want to say after helping (e:pmt) move into their new house , it is really a cool house. I didn't really like it when it was covered in catness, dirt, and garbage but now that it is cleaned up it is looking really awesome. Kudos to (e:pmt) for a great job at cleaning it up. You should all get excited to see it at the first party they have there!! start clearing your schedules now!

PIttsburgh Trip
So in two weeks I go to Pittsburgh for a work trip. So I decided to look up what is near the hotel and let me tell you the answer is a big ole nothing. The restaurants within radius listed KFC, Burger King, etc. And the shopping listed one mall which basically was a WalMart/Barnes and Noble/TJ Maxx plaza. SO I'm gonna guess the nightlife is gonna be outrageously fun, right?

Buffalo Silverbacks or Rascist Ballers
So the new minor league basketball team in Buffalo is called the Silverbacks which are like the elder alpha gorilla male. Some people in the community say it is offensive because much of the team is black males and using monkey or gorilla was often used as a deragatory term used towards black people. I can almost see that though I disagree because I think like the silverback is definetely like a more positive thing than for instance being called the monkeys. Anywho, i was reading the article and while I don't really agree , I could see the other people's point of view UNTIL THIS PART...

the one lady who thinks it is rascist said in reference to the logo and I quote "I did find it offensive. It looked like an angry black man". Ok here is the logo. I'll let you decide.

I did not look at that and think angry black man. I personally do not see a red haired foaming at the mouth fanged basketball playing gorilla and think angry black man but Eva M. Doyle of the Buffalo Criterion begs to differ.

Frankly, I think the fact that she thinks that is looks like an angry black man is frankly way more offensive. By the by, the team players are the ones who came up with the name.

First things first that logo Makes no sense. Gorilas are black not red. But the guy does look pissed and he is pointing and has ripped the rim down and looks like he is after me next. So I do see how the women could jump to the conclusion that it is a silver back and they are black and so are the players but she sounds racist her self. I don't think the name is racist. It isn't like they saw who joins the team then name them. I'm sure if the black guys found it offensive they would join a differant team or something along those lines.

TV Guide Tidbits
Wow! usually TV Guide does provied too much entertainment but this week it is amazing. Here are a few tidbits:

image
1. David Hasselhoff is mad at his tv show America's Got Talent because and I quote "I want to be the act, not judge the act" He also hates Brandy becuase she always tries to fight him and dislikes the other judge becasue "He overstepped his territory once and tried to make a joke about my singing". Is there really a joke to make? Is the singing not a joke enough in itself ( particularly when he is on the Berlin Wall in a light up tuxedo)

2. There is a new show where singers such as Cyndi Lauper and Michael Bolton are paired with celebrities and sing ant the public votes off a celebrity each week.

3. Madonna's special on NBC will include her hanging from a "discoballed crucifix" singing "Live to Tell" because as NBC says it "was a cornerstone of the show"


that's all for now folks
