Fear and Loathing in the Free World Dec 13

Were you think damn its going to be one more day before I get to read another Fear and Loathing in the Free World piece. Well all you chico’s and senoritas I decided to publish one day early cause well that how I roll. (For the uninitiated I try to post one every Wednesday). So away we go in my funk mobile rolling to my soul shack.

Cheer:  Beastie Boys: They are now in there 4^th decade of producing there blend of hip hop/techno/ punk guitar rift rock. Whenever one of their song hit my car radio I usually end up rocking out and throwing my hands in the air (not the safest thing to do). Plus it’s the only concert you probably could go to where a white guy in his mid 30’s can wear a baseball cap backwards and still be considered “down”.

Loath: Friging white flash/rapid movie editing: Ok I get it. People today supposedly have shorter attention spans (thanks Riddley Scott and MTV).  So staying on a image longer the 2 second may bore your viewer. But holly hell in a hand bag do we need to flash 19 edits up in less than 6 seconds. I just recently saw a movie called Mega Piranha’s (yes I know it was going to be shitty), but the edits made the movie seem like some meth head who having withdrawals creepy nightmare.  I swear its some guy who just got out of editing school and say “hey guys watch this, I can make you have a seizure. “

Loath: Christmas Albums: They make money for musician. It’s a quick cash grab for an artist to sit down and bellow out some classic.  Occasionally its tolerable but often it’s a mishmash of song we don’t know complete with strange yodeling of singers trying to make it their own. If you want to sing white Christmas or Here comes Santa Claus, then sing the fing song. No need for guitar riffs, 8 octave ranges, that guy from the old spice commercial, record scratches, Yanni pan flute, and to be produced by timberland or thee Bruce Dickerson.

This makes me want to convert to another religion.

Cheer: Wi-Fi TVs: Wait what I can now watch my allegedly downloaded movies straight from my computer to my TV without wires or a gaming system. What I’m not suppose to use it for that what am I suppose to use if for. Family photos? Really? You guys are funny.

Cheer: KFC Gravy– I try not to promote products here but KFC gravy is good (though the rest of their product line has gone to crap. Sorry someone had to tell you Colonel. You probably already knew that when you tried to convince us the KFC meant kitchen fresh chicken. Nice try) KFC Gravy is fantastic. Well gravy in general is awesome but this is angels would taste like if they were processed into liquid form. Unlike…

Loath: Smuckers Uncrustables– I tried to find a commercial for this product though I’m sure the guys in there marketing department didn’t want any part of this lame product. Essentially it’s a frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwich that looks like a pizza pocket. Who the hell are these for? For people who can’t spend two whole anguishing minutes to make them self a sandwich. This product is not available in Canada because we all know how to use a butter knife and take a bread tag off a bag.

Cheer and Loathing in the Free World

Dec 7th, 2011

Hello everyone welcome to another Cheer and Loathing in the Free World. It’s now December  7th, 2011. Honestly I think I’m Holly the Jollied the F*&^ out.  Seriously there 18 more days till kid beating Bing Crosby and Wilson Phillips singing Hey Santa goes away.  (NOTE: I Super Loath that song in its entirety. It’s like sand paper and broken glass cutting to my soul. ) Anyway here are my Cheer and Loaths for the week.

Loath: Snow – It’s cold, its wet and did I mention its cold? To those people who say I love snow and it’s so pretty obviously that a)they don’t have to  shovel it, b) have to drive in it or c) are off their medication.  My only exception is over the Christmas Holliday and then only on the following criteria: No less than one inch and not exceeding two inches and must be acquired during the time frame of  midnight and six am. Also said temperature must not fall below -4 Celsius and not exceed -2.  Also I must receive awesome gifts for Christmas.

Cheer: NBL Canada- The NBL is the upstart Canadian basketball league. I have attended two games so far this season and they both been quality affairs. Good basketball and its only going to get better. If there a franchise in your area (Halifax, Saint Johns, Moncton, Quebec (Montreal), London, Summerside, or Oshawa) go check them out.  It’s a great time.

Loath-Music Videos– I remember running home from after school and my brother would want to watch video hits which was our lone connection to the music video world ( We had 3 channels and MTV  was some weird and foreign idea) He use to wait for a favorite song of his and then recorded the video with our giant VHS machine( it had a wired in remote).  But he recorded said videos because he liked the song not because of the video. Videos now seem to be the main marketing method for bands and there music second. Case and point. The song I’m Sexy and I Know it by LMFAO. Honestly everyone conversation starts like this “Have you seen their video”? Not have you heard there song. It’s have you seen their video.  (I have. It’s amusing if you like guys waving their junk around and seeing Ron Jeremy just hanging out).  That doesn’t make the song good. LMFAO is as much a music group as the guys from Lonely Island.  Note I will not post a link to there video. I will not support it. But here some Lonely Island.

Cheer: Real Christmas Trees– Ok yes fake ones are cheaper in the long run and less of a mess but it’s not a tree. It’s a piece of furniture. A real tree just adds something to Christmas.  With Christmas becoming over commercialized and junkified just go buy a real fing tree would you.

Loath. Yuuuuuuuup-Thanks Dave from storage wars.  You made a somewhat interesting show annoying. What is worse now everywhere I go I hear people echoing the same damn thing?  This will hopefully last as long as the wazz up guys from the Budweiser ads.

Whazz up guys

Annoying Dave Hester

Cheer:  May 13, 2013– This is the release date of the new Star Trek film. I am excited. Please don’t let anything be leaked. I hate when they teases us with info and then it doesn’t live up to our expectations or it was an elaborate hoax to throw us off the trail of the real story. No I am not a trekkie or treker but the last film was fantastic.

Mega Loath:  The Joe Fresh Commercial– Have you seen these? There for a clothing line. They have a bunch of blank faced models I guess modeling. Honestly they all have the look on their face that they have done something very shameful to get this job.
