Red iPod Nano

Well, it 's about time.....

Apple should have been offering a greater variety of colours for their iPods in the first place.

However, this red theme has come about mainly because of "Bono", the outspoken Irish rock star and lead singer for U2.

It's all part of Bono's latest campaign for fighting AIDS in Africa. He appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show overnight telling viewers to buy "RED-branded" goods. Should be an interesting show which hopefully will be available for viewing by Malaysian residents before the year 2010, if we're lucky.

Apparently, a percentage of the profits for this program goes mainly towards buying drugs for people suffering from AIDS in Africa.

American viewers were urged to buy "Gap" T-shirts, denim jeans & jackets with the "RED" trademark, red "Motorola" mobile phones, red limited edition "Converse" shoes, red "Giorgio Armani" clothing & accessories as well as the red "Apple" iPod nano.

Respect to Bono for trying to make a difference in the world. But he does have his fair share of critics who think he is too preachy and lectures people too much. Maybe he can raise money from this segment of the community by selling them the following.....

It should come in "RED" of course.....

Right, I'll get my coat.....

Musicians / Bands With Rubbish Names

The list of offenders include 80's group "The Thompson Twins". First of all, they weren’t even twins. I mean, come on, one of them is black. Then there's the fact that there were 3 members in their band.

Anyone who has seen "LL Cool J" on TV knows how much the guy loves himself especially when he starts to flex his muscles.

LL Cool J’s real name is actually James Todd Smith III. Well, one day "James" decided it would be a universal truth that "Ladies Love Cool James". When shortened, that became LL Cool J. What a knob. Someone pass me the bucket.

One of the most influential groups of all time were "The Beach Boys".

But what a bunch of phoneys. They had all these hit songs about surfing and they used to carry surfboards around. But none of the members in the group even knew how to surf: Except Dennis Wilson, who ironically, drowned.

When I first saw the posters of the Canadian band “Barenaked Ladies”, I was slightly disappointed as there were no bare or naked ladies.

Then I realised I had been expectantly drooling over a group of 5 geeky blokes. I felt so dirty and ashamed.

Next we have "The Righteous Brothers".....

Sure, they loved to dress the same but you guessed it. Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield were not really brothers. Apparently, a U.S. marine once heard them performing and said “That’s righteous, brothers!” and the rest was history.

As for Danish band "Michael Learns To Rock".....

Pfff! More like "Michael Learns To Sing Crappy Love Songs".

Right, I’ll get my coat.....

Reservoir Dogs & Mr Orange

Look at the title of this blog entry.

You have just read the title of a classic film.....

.....& the name of the character who “rats” out his criminal partners because he is actually an undercover cop.

Ooops! Hope I didn’t spoil the movie for any ignorant dumbasses who have never seen this cinematic masterpiece. Hahaha

But come on, you deserved it. The movie’s been out for 14 years. You must be a real loser who’s been living under a rock if you haven’t seen "Reservoir Dogs".

Anyway, I promise there will be NO MORE SPOILERS if you continue reading.

Having just watched the movie for the 50th time, give or take 5, I can unequivocally say that this is the best film ever made in terms of "COOLNESS".

For instance, the word "FUCK" or its variation is used 252 times, without it ever sounding excessive.

The characters refer to each other by a colour system in order to maintain anonymity. The film is so cool that the characters don’t even need to use real names.

The black & white suits and shades worn by the main characters looked super cool.

Mr Blonde oozes coolness when he dances to "Stuck In The Middle With You" while torturing his victim.

It was made on a shoestring budget of USD 1.5 million. This film was over 100 times way cooler than "Waterworld" but cost over 100 times less.

Cool actors such as Samuel L Jackson, David Duchovny and George Clooney auditioned for roles in the movie and got turned down.

Coolest of all, my favourite character and the funniest in the movie, Mr Pink, gets to be the only one who doesn’t die by the end of the film.

Ooops! ANOTHER SPOILER. How owned do you feel now?

Right, I'll get my coat.....
