Buffalo Rising Strikes AgainInstead of comparing buffalonians plight to that of the jews, Buffalo Rising has managed to capture a photo of our black mayor chomping down on some chicken. 
Now this may be an appropriate picture had it been a story about the chicken wing festival or who Byron Brown's favorite wing joint is in town. But of course the article is about who will be appointed to the NY State Senate seat. I am having a hard time taking anything I read in this publication/website seriously anymore.

Well it is a bad picture I admit. But see if you are trying to make him look bad or like an idiot or fool then it is a great picture to use to do that.

Buffalo Rising is one shitty publication. I am no fan of the mayor, but that shit is ridiculous. Why not also get a picture of Bill Richardson in a field picking fruit. Or Joe Lieberman picking up penny's off the sidewalk.

Stereotype or not, I still think it's areally poor choice of a picture.

From what I understand he isn't even in the running for that, I have heard he didn't even fill out the form. In terms of the chicken I know where you are going. But that is the dumbest sterotype I have ever heard along with the lines of watermelon but yet everyone seems to believe it. Most people like Chicken and friend Chicken is a Southern thing and the same can be said of water melon, so I never got those sterotypes didn't make any sense to me. But I bet there are a lot of people who think that story is so funny because it is well I'm not saying what it could be calling him but it could be, or maybe the person just didn't think and wanted a candid picture.

Merry Christmas from Star Wars!This is really creepy.

I'm sorry I have to ask, was this edited, or is this from the old TV Star Wars Christmas Special that I never saw?

Oh, i see. It's just a holiday that's similar to Christmas, with a song that's similar to the star wars theme.

If Star Wars took place, "A long time ago," and "in a galaxy far, far away," then how did they here about Christmas? A presumably future holiday?

The point of a website (rant)I'm getting very annoyed with crappy websites. Restaurant websites in particular. I mean the point is not to show glamour shots of your dining room. I want some freaking information! Tell me the hours of operation, maybe a menu or two and how to get to the place. I don't care about your personal mission, lame ass flash programing or some stupid little jingle you have programmed to go off when I click on something. And what is with all of this PDF menu shit? Is it really that difficult to just have it in HTML?? Is it really necessary to have to open another program so I can find out that you serve chicken wings?
Ok I feel better now

Toro's website is a prime example of this. UGH! I agree. I want hours, whether or not you deliver, and a menu- ideally downloadable in PDF form.

Arg, no doubt, especially when you can't skip by the flash. And I know what you mean about the glam shots of the restaurant. What about showing food porn shots of some of your menu items? That's what people are going to come back for anyway.
This reminds me - I've been telling Josh one day after watching Dinner Impossible that I want to go to Lola Bistro in Cleveland whenever we make it out there again.

You can apply this to almost any website.
All flashy flash and no information. It makes me want to gag.

My eyes are so green right now....
Like, OMG, is he, like, just as cute in, like, person as he is on the tv?!?!
Did you roll a J w/ him?
Um, NO. This makes you a fan. If you where a groupie you would invite him to where you work and when it is closed and make him special food and then bring it out and eat with him at the table. Maybe you would video tape it and there might be candles and as he eats his steak you might give him a handy or a BJ, HA kidding about those, but what ever the food version of that is. Maybe a special desert that isn't on the Menu.
Hey JB, I've been to enough photo ops to see all the shenanigans. I can appreciate your end result.
ha! There is a story behind this for sure.
I think I saw that pic on facebook today. didn't realize it was you!
I admit it was not an easy thing to arrange. Maybe that does make me a stalker.
or a stalker, only time will tell
Hehehe.. he looks awfully like one of my professors back home.
Is that the bloke that everyone here has been drooling about?
