What could the title of today's show possibly mean? It's not even a word. It's a.... ummm... Ebonic version of a word I suppose. It comes to us care of a YouTube link one of our faithful listeners forwarded to us. You can watch the video for yourself in the Show Links below. It appears to be a homemade rap video in which a man on parole for something raps some rather simple lyrics to a beat created using machine guns. As he states in the video, he's about to "make deez rifles bursss." This is just one more example of the boundless and typically questionable entertainment found on the world's most popular video sharing site.
As we get into the new DVD's the Rifle Burs song continues, only this time we're making up the lyrics. After the show we were joking around and found out it is surprisingly easy to do so.
On our show we love to talk about products with whimsical names. And we've got 2 for you today. The first is mentioned at the top of the show. It's a book called "Stuck Up!". And has a rather literal meaning in terms of describing the book's content. The other is a couple of energy drinks from a new Las Vegas-based beverage company. Don't expect these cans to show up anytime soon in places like Utah. So far the company has 2 flavors, "Big Cock" and "Little Pussies". Although the drinks don't actually taste like their namesakes, you can't help but wonder how open retailers are going to be to items named like this. Just look at the tantrum that was briefly thrown over Ben & Jerry's "Schweddy Balls" ice cream. And that wasn't even spelled as precise. The company says they'll probably have some 'toned down' versions of the names for those conservative retailers.
If you've ever wondered how many explosions Michael Bay has set off in his career, wonder no more. The website, MovieLine.com managed to sit through all of his flicks and counted every last mushroom cloud, fireball and flash of flames. The numbers are staggering. About half of his explosions are contained in the TRANSFORMERS trilogy alone. And of those, over a third of them were in THE DARK OF THE MOON. Lets play a game for a moment. Lets say, given man power, supplies, union wages and so on, each explosion costed $10,000... and that's probably a conservative estimate. If that was the case, he would've spent $6,220,000 on explosions alone for the 3 TRANSFORMERS films. Keep in mind, this was just a hypothetical to illustrate the ridiculousness of Bay's cinema prowess.
Meanwhile across the pond in the UK, the founders of a fashion label and magazine there are attempting to push legislation through that would regulate digitally altered photographs in magazines. Pictures of movie stars, models or other celebrities that were Photoshopped in some fashion would be required to include a disclaimer announcing it. The married couple who started this campaign say they were inspired by young women who feel inferior to celebrities when they see them in magazines and on posters. I pose the question to the guys, is this a good idea? What do you think? Maybe it's up to the parents of kids to tell them these images are fake. These people have bags under their eyes, enlarged pores and zits on their cheeks just like us common folk do.
And while on the subject of beauty... in our Breaking News segment we head to Compton, where the school district there is blatantly denying that a former porn star, one Miss Sasha Grey, visited an elementary school and read to a group of students. Not only did Grey twat that she spent her morning at the school reading to the students, but TMZ also obtained a photo of her reading to the students. The school still denies she was there. This is the topic of our We Ask You Poll this week. The parents of these kids were pretty ticked off over this. But it's not like she was doing it naked, or announced to the kids that she used to work in porn. Would you be mad if a porn star read to your kids at school? Keep in mind, these were elementary school students. They probably had no idea who she was. As a chatter in the ErrorFM chat room pointed out, they couldn't have done this at a high school!
