Not Swimsuit Iconoclasts

October 16, 2008 By: refrieds Category: Uncategorized No Comments →

Sundance Channel has a show called Iconoclasts. In addition to insights, advice, and inspiration, it provides something that not even Nostradamus predicted.

Richard Branson and Desmond Tutu as bathing beauties:

Thank goodness these guys realized at an early age that swimsuit modeling was not their true calling…

Rage Against The Machine Lollapalooza Security Detail

August 04, 2008 By: refrieds Category: Uncategorized, music 1 Comment →

Rage Against the Machine just can’t seem to make up their minds.

First, they protest the Democratic Party and help Bush get elected, only to disband before the administration could get the ball rolling, forcing us to endure Audioslave.

Then, Audioslave broke up and then they brought back Zack de la Rocha.

Their fans were all hyped up to see them play Lollapalooza, only to see their heroes stop playing…

And start running security…

I wish RATM would make up their damn minds.

Game Over AKA He Used To Love H.E.R.

July 10, 2008 By: refrieds Category: Uncategorized No Comments →

The Game loves him some retro hip hop. So much so, he tried a 21st Century KRS-One “Stop The Violence/Self-Destruction” project involving the Sean Bell murder.

Problem is, there’s no money in it. And he learned the hard way that we’re not all in the same gang after all.

And it not only made The Game cry, it made him quit hip-hop…

Inside of us, we both know you belong with hip-hop. You’re part of H.E.R. work, the thing that keeps H.E.R. going. If you’re not with H.E.R., you’ll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life. Forget these sucka MCs, you’ll always have Paris.


In fact, he might be available for the posse cut!

Give that brotha a ring!

If Memin Pinguin Isn’t Racist, Why Do Latinos Hate Obama?

July 09, 2008 By: refrieds Category: Uncategorized 3 Comments →

Apparently, Memin Pinguin isn’t racist, although he’s a black kid drawn like a monkey, which would be cool if the blonde and brunette kids were drawn as monkeys too. But they’re not. They’re drawn like, well…human kids:

If Memin Pinguin fostered great racial understanding, why isn’t Obama rocking the Latino vote?

Take a look at this dude:

He claims black folks just don’t get Memin Pinguin. But if that’s the case what’s with all that moyo stuff?

If Memin Pinguin is so beloved as an icon for racial understanding, maybe the Obama campaign would have greater luck attracting Latino voters if they replaced Curious George with Memin Pinguin…

Nah, we don’t think so either…

New Design at Refried Screens

July 28, 2007 By: refrieds Category: Uncategorized No Comments →

Sorry if you’ve had problems accessing the site, but I’ve made a bunch of changes to Refried Screens

- New Theme
- New Logo

All of this new stuff meant new headaches, too! I didn’t have site meter or google updated, and putting the little skillet favicon in the URL was a nightmare…but I done did it!

I wanted it to be easier to read and more accessible. I like the new look, but like any updates, there’s bound to be some bugs here and there.

But enough about me, what do you think?

Take a look around, look at some posts, pages, search, etc. and holla back!
