Get Saved With Eric B. and Rakim!

 

AMC is currently shooting a remake of 60's British psychedelic mindfuck The Prisoner with Jim Caviezel aka Jesus Christ and Ian McKellen. Caviezel will play Number 6, the role originally played by Patrick McGoohan, and McKellen has been cast as Number 2 which is genius casting. As of right now, the series is set to air sometime this year. 

 

I Love Technology!

Another subway find. It amazes me that computer technology like Photoshop has become so user friendly that a complete idiot who thinks the phrase "How Me Look" even approximates proper grammar is able to slap together a flyer for his "teen fashion affair." I will tell you how you look-like someone who didn't graduate from high school. 

Why do I have a feeling that R. Kelly was lurking around somewhere at this little shindig?

Those Darn Kids Today!

This handy little pamphlet was being given out at a grade school, which apparently means date rape is now a problem among kids who aren't even old enough for a learner's permit. I am having a hard time deciphering the illustration on the cover. Either it is meant to convey the idea that all men are 

potential rapists and females should always be suspicious which suggests that Andrea Dworkin is involved somehow, or the picture depicts the moments immediately after a date rape. If the second is the case, which I believe it to be, that has to be one cold blooded rapist. While the girl is all "Holy shit, this asshole just raped me!", Mr. Romance seems to be quite jaunty as he goes on his merry way. Then inside the pamphlet, one finds this:

Here we have a potential date rapist, the fine looking young man with the thoughtful look on his face, learning an important life lesson: You can't rape someone even if you paid for dinner. 

In the same stack of literature was also this pamphlet warning of the dangers of child abuse. Here we have the classic moral dilemma: Should I do something about the fact that this grown man is about to beat this kid with a closed fist? Hmmmmm...this is a real chin-scratcher. 

Inside, one is treated to another delightful little scene. Here we have an adult giving a little girl a full on uppercut.

Who is this illustrator? I cannot imagine the impenetrable darkness that must reside at the center of his/her soul.  

Remember When MTV Used To Be Worth Watching?

Oh, the good ol' days.

Watch Your Ass Whitey...

...the Black Panthers are back! Several of these flyers where affixed to the interior of the NYC L train a couple of weeks ago. I hope the new Panthers go with the old school black shades/leather jacket/beret look as opposed to the far less tough looking Pan-African multicolored dashiki/body wrap style. Somebody call John Sinclair and lets get a little White Panther Party action going.  2009 is going to be all about kicking out the jams!
