I Used To Think Spam Was Short For Space Jam

The Associated Press is saying that "Spam" sales "are rising as consumers are turning more to lunch meats and other lower-cost foods to extend their already stretched food budgets." Food prices are skyrocketing, with white bread up 13 percent last year, bacon up 7 percent and peanut butter up 9 percent. "Spam's" maker, Hormel, is rolling out an advertising campaign for the first time in years.

Electrifying conclusion: Makes perfect sense. Eating out and eating in is hurting the pockets nowadays. How much higher can these prices get? Food like "Spam," ramen noodles, grits, and "Cream Of Wheat" can really hold down a household (speaking from much experience, folks). But like Merc said, "Wasn't 'Spam' name brand?/ Poppy, give a nigga a quarter-pound of spiced-ham!" The real have-nots know that Spam is a luxury to some. We bought spiced-ham, my dude. By the quarter pound. Wrapped in wax paper. Word.

After shooting "Sliver," Billy Baldwin summed up kissing Sharon Stone like this in Cosmopolitan magazine: "thin lips, okay breath." Ouch. Let's add "self-important," "simple," and "ethnocentric." This is what Ms. Stone had to say following China's recent earthquake:

"I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else," Stone said. "And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, is that karma? When you're not nice that the bad things happen to you?"

Bitch! Who cares what you're unhappy about. I'm unhappy about your filmography and the fact that you're famous at all. But I aint sittin' around waiting for karma to strike your monkey ass. She of course, retracted these statements. I mean, what are these stars made of? Who's telling them that their views matter, and then letting them embarass themselves? And if she felt that way, why won't she stick to her guns? I'll tell you why. Because China has 1.5 billion people and a thriving economy. After Christian Dior dropped her as Chinese spokesmodel, do you think she's willing to risk any more paper in the name of her silly principles? I think not. In typical Chinese fashion, they went in on her; The official Xinhua News Agency said in a commentary Thursday she was the "public enemy of all mankind." They don't want any kinda brouhaha heading into these Olympics.

Electrifying conclusion: I guess when you start to stop being pretty, you have to actually have something to say. Unfortunately, this is the kind of shit some idiots say. Don't they know that there's only one place where you can say all of the ignorant, dumb, inflammatory shit in the world, and no one can penalize you for it ('Big Brother' is probably laughing at that one)? Haven't they heard of the blogosphere?
