Zack and Miir make a porno
Category: movies
So on Friday Kevin Smith's newest movie comes out "Zack & Miri make a porno". It looks like it could be pretty good. I'm hoping that I have time to go see it On Saturday, or who knows if I will even be in good enough shape to make it to a movie. I will admit I am a Kevin Smith fan so I must go see it.





the first time the video didn't show up from youtube but I kinda forgot how to do that.

November is Spy Month I say
Category: entertainment
The reason I'm calling November spy month is for two reasons, well I guess it is really one reason. Before 24 returns in January they are having a two hour special called 24 Redemption it looks like it will be pretty good on Sunday Nov. 23. Then also this month the new James Bond movie opens. Yeah some people might say Bond who cares any more. I will admit that I liked the old style with all the rockets and stunts that where over the top even for movies. I also liked the more recent bonds of Pierce better then this new Bond. That being said I do like that they have gone in this other direction, and not that I have read the books. But from what I have heard these movies are closer to the books then how the previous movies have been. I think what will make this newest movie interesting is that it is the first Bond Sequel and so that might be interesting to see how that plays out. I don't know if Daniel Craig will be in what ever the next movie they do after the current one. The reason I say that is because I was watching one of the features on Casino Royale and they said that they didn't use Pierce because with this being the story of how bond becomes bond they needed someone younger. See I haven't even seen the newest one and I'm jumping a head. I'm hoping it will be very good, we shall see.

Henry Rollins Spoken word
Category: events
So I'm looking forward to Wends. I'm going to see Henry Rollins. He won't be singing or dancing or well maybe he will be you never know, but it is for spoken word not music. I'm thinking maybe head downtown from work and treat myself to some drinks and a nice meal at say T.G.I fridays but I have to double check the time. I don't know how to say what spoken word is other then that he tells stories, at some point of the story it leads into another story. Hey sometimes someone mentions something and then to know what that is you need another story. Some of it is funny and some of it is political and yes he does have merch. for sale so you can buy other spoken word tours. I'm hoping it really good this year like it was last year. I have never seen him do a question and answer thing it isn't like an Evening with Kevin smith but some aspects are the same. Yes you can disagree with his political views and still have a good time at the town ballroom.

Assassination plot broken
Category: news
So I went onto Yahoo to read my mail and I saw this article that I had to read and re post below. From what I understand these two skinheads where going to try and Kill Barack even though they thought they might not get away with it and they might even die doing so. That is really some heavy hate. They never got to the attack stage so we don't know if it is really true, and maybe they are taking the fall for a larger movement who knows what is really going on. If you read the article maybe you'll have the same question I did why not go after Barrack 1st, what if you first attacks don't work. I don't think they would have ever gotten close to Obama. That being said it still seems like this isn't the entire story. Yeah this is a lot of hate, I know I have some sterotypes that I fight with sometimes but I'm glad I'm no where near as bad as these guys are. I hate to say it but I don't think this will be the last attempt either.



Assassination plot targeting Obama disrupted




By LARA JAKES JORDAN, Associated Press Writer Lara Jakes Jordan, Associated Press Writer


WASHINGTON - Law enforcement agents have broken up a plot by two neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 88 black people, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives said Monday.

In court records unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn., federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school in a murder spree that was to begin in Tennessee. Agents said the skinheads did not identify the school by name.

Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of ATF's Nashville field office, said the two men planned to kill 88 people, including 14 African-Americans by beheading. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.

The men also sought to go on a national killing spree after the Tennessee murders, with Obama as its final target, Cavanaugh told The Associated Press.

"They said that would be their last, final act - that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama," Cavanaugh said. "They didn't believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying."

An Obama spokeswoman traveling with the senator in Pennsylvania had no immediate comment.

The men, Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman 18, of Helena-West Helena, Ark., are being held without bond. Agents seized a rifle, a sawed-off shotgun and three pistols from the men when they were arrested. Authorities alleged the two men were preparing to break into a gun shop to steal more.

The two men were arrested Oct. 22 by the Crockett County, Tenn., Sheriff's Office. "Once we arrested the defendants and suspected they had violated federal law, we immediately contacted federal authorities," said Crockett County Sheriff Troy Klyce.

Attorney Joe Byrd, who has been hired to represent Cowart, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Monday. Messages left on two phone numbers listed under Cowart's name were not immediately returned.

No telephone number for Schlesselman in Helena-West Helena could be found immediately.

Cowart and Schlesselman are charged with possessing an unregistered firearm, conspiring to steal firearms from a federally licensed gun dealer, and threatening a candidate for president.

The investigation is continuing, and more charges are possible, Cavanaugh said.

The court records say Cowart and Schlesselman also bought nylon rope and ski masks to use in a robbery or home invasion to fund their spree, during which they allegedly planned to go from state to state and kill people.

For the Obama plot, the legal documents show, Cowart and Schlesselman "planned to drive their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama shooting at him from the windows."

"Both individuals stated they would dress in all white tuxedos and wear top hats during the assassination attempt," the court complaint states. "Both individuals further stated they knew they would and were willing to die during this attempt."

Cavanaugh said there's no evidence - so far - that others were willing to assist Cowart and Schlesselman with the plot.

He said authorities took the threats very seriously.

"They seemed determined to do it," Cavanaugh said. "Even if they were just to try it, it would be a trail of tears around the South."

The court documents say the two men met about a month ago on the Internet and found common ground in their shared "white power" and "skinhead" philosophy.

The numbers 14 and 88 are symbols in skinhead culture, referring to a 14-word phrase attributed to an imprisoned white supremacist: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children" and to the eighth letter of the alphabet, H. Two "8"s or "H"s stand for "Heil Hitler."

Helena-West Helena, on the Mississippi River in east Arkansas' Delta, is in one of the nation's poorest regions, trailing even parts of Appalachia in its standard of living. Police Chief Fred Fielder said he had never heard of Schlesselman.

However, the reported threat of attacking a school filled with black students worried Fielder. Helena-West Helena, with a population of 12,200, is 66 percent black. "Predominantly black school, take your pick," he said.

Bi sexual and gay sterotypes
Category: sex
So a little while back (e:Lauren) wrote a pretty interesting post about this rent a negro site ans some how in the comments there was talk about how guys ask or say stupid things to bisexual women and lesbians. I will admit I wanted to write this post at the time but didn't really have the time and the correct words to use I think I might now. I'm not defending sterotypes and not saying they are good I'm just trying to show a view point from a mans perspective.

First of all I'm not a women so I can't imagine what it is like to be one, let alone to be bisexual or a lesbian. I think that the little bit of knowledge I do have is like most men's is flawed most likely.

I do think that the watching of porn does effect how men think of bisexual women. For example last night I caught part of this great movie there was this really sexy naked Asian girl with amazing breasts making out with this pretty tiny breasted white girl. So this guy is watching and he is getting turned on and then he goes and joins in. In this movie they don't show any dick. See that is a lot of guys fantasy two hot girls making out and them either watching it or taking part in it. See that makes sense for a lot of guys not only do they get to see one girl they get to see two and they don't have to see any cock (some guys don't want to see any so all they watch is girl on girl). It also gives the perspective on TV that you are watching it. I know it is only TV but I think stuff like that can enforce the male fantasy weather it is soft core or hardcore. In porn there are some girls who really do like other girls and then there are girls who are "gay for pay" meaning they don't like girls but do the scenes to get paid better or for the money. When watching a scene us guys don't think about this and I do think it does affect how we think of girls who are bisexual or lesbians (not the same but often viewed as the same incorrectly).

The Jerry Springer aspect. Yes it used to be a guilty pleasure of mine I will admit. I'm not only blaming him I'm sure there are other shows that only show the crazy side of people. But on even though at the end of the show he would have final thoughts and they were pretty good, I still think that what you saw over powered his thoughts at the end. The show was often about cheating and so when ever someone cheated on their partner with someone of the same sex as them it made everyone who is bisexual look like a slut. Some one would all ways say that just because you like both sexes doesn't mean that you should be with one person of each sex at the same time. I think shows like that can effect how people think about other people.

I'm not blaming TV and entertainment really even though it sounds like it, I'm more saying that I think it might help reinforce other ideas people may all ready have.

I don't know where I have heard my sterotypes but I know I have heard some. Like that lesbians hate men and are mean. Hey maybe some of them do but I doubt they all do. Yes I have heard that Bisexual girls are sluts. I don't believe that and the 1st lady that I knew was bisexual wasn't she had boy friends and girl friends but not at the same time from what she told me. Not that I would call someone a slut but some people are sluts and some are men some are women and some are stright, bi and gay that doesn't mean being bi makes you a slut.

Again I don't know where I have heard this stuff I really don't. I have heard that there are butch lesbians and fem lesbians and that only fems and butch lesbians will be with each other. Again I wouldn't know but that doesn't seem right. Why couldn't two pretty girls be together.


I'm sure lesbians and Bi sexual girls get a lot of stupid questions but I think most of them is because guys have this fantasy view of women's sexuality or just don't get it.

I think the thing with steroypes is they often don't make sense for anyone and you hear different ones that don't make sense. For example the typical one for blacks is that they love Watermelon and fried chicken. That makes no sense everyone likes friend chicken and besides that is more of a southern thing. I have heard people not use the right short hand for Asians. Like they order chinesse food and call it gook food, that would be koreans and the steroype of them is that they all have nail salons not that they sell you cat for dinner.

I think the reason sterotypes work is that there is a small amount of truth in them but just because they are true sometimes for some people doesn't mean they are completely true. But when you don't know anyone who fits those sterotypes then you don't have anything to disprove any of them. I think that leads to when you meet someone you might ask or say some stupid things, Ok that is the end my rant time to go watch the pregame then the Bills and later the Steelers. This was more of way of venting for myself really but if I said anything stupid let me know.
metalpeter - 10/27/08 18:59
One thing I just want to add is that I'm not sure where sterotypes really come from other then other people are told them by someone else. I'm sure there is lots of media that is sexiest but one can't say that it all is or that all porn is. Some shows and Movies are made by women and they control the content and women do decide to act in it them selves.

I do think that sterotypes are used to keep people in power. I don't think they all are that way or start out the way. I think humans naturaly (plus with how we are taught) catogorize people. If there was a way to look at a girl and see she was gay it would save guys the time of going up to her at a bar.

I will admit that terms Like butch and Fems are social constructs. I also admit so are things that those terms are based of like what guys and girls look like and qualities of men and women.

I did mis speak a little bit. Beauty is in the eye of the person doing the viewing. That doesn't mean that someone who someone might call "butch" can't be pretty and that they aren't pretty. As aweful as this sounds guys can't help it most of the time every time they see a girl they do a quick look over and see how she looks and how she presents her self, she might be very heavy but her deep blue eyes lip piercing and face draws you into another world and then the super model next to her looks like if you kissed her she break 3 ribs. But that is what us guys do, we are pigs I will admit.

I also wanted to add that In my case at least I'm not the center of any womens sexuality, maybe if some lady is really horny and she can't find someone else then maybe she'll give me a call. That being said I think that men do want to be the center and when a women isn't interested they don't know what to do. As an example of that I was watching one those shows about a strip club with a buddy of mine and this one girl admitted she also liked girls, my buddy called her a dyke and switched the channel. My first thought was if you like seeing a naked chick on TV who cares if she likes girls even if you think it is wrong, my second thought was great now I don't get to see the stripper. But it was his place so I couldn't really say anything like what is wrong with you.
paul - 10/26/08 18:15
I think that even without porn and media pushing lesbian steroeotypes on us, in my personal experience I have met a bunch of lesbian couples that have one traditionally feminine looking partner and one more masculine partner. I don't think it would take a giant intellectual leap for a straight man to think that the feminine lesbian desires something phycially masculine, even if the masculine looking/acting partner offers something that no man ever could. It is confusing for straight men and porn/media only reinforces that confusion.
lauren - 10/26/08 13:25
OK...where to start? In terms of porn, in my opinion there is a very fine line between what most people consider porn and what we see all over the television, magazines, billboards, music videos, etc.
Stereotypes...are meant to control, police, and maintain systems of power. They serve a very implicit function in our society, which is to allow people to attempt to comprehend those who they don't know or don't understand. Both stereotypes and media/porn function in the same way...they both produce and are produced by racist/sexist/homophobic assumptions.
You said "I have heard that there are butch lesbians and fem lesbians and that only fems and butch lesbians will be with each other. Again I wouldn't know but that doesn't seem right. Why couldn't two pretty girls be together"
This is really problematic Peter...this is exactly what I was talking about. You are assuming that first of all, "butch" lesbians are not "pretty". You are speaking of an aesthetic of women that is based on straight male views of what is or is not attractive. You have to realize that this and other assumptions of lesbianism are not simply based on innocent fantasies, but are rather the result of men thinking that they are always the center of women's sexuality and if they suddenly aren't, they don't know how to react. Of course, this too is the result of the ways in which we are taught and socialized to believe.
