WEB | BRENT RINEHART’S BRAVE CRUSADE AGAINST THE GAYS
http://www.wonkette.com/tag/brent-rinehart
Oh, dear. A middle-management cockmongler is trying to save his scandal-ridden political career by penning a poorly drawn comic about the looming gay threat. You really should catch up on all the drama at the above link; the man was actually on CNN declaring a goddamn culture war against homosexuals. Reason dictates that we should ignore this doucheguzzler and deny him his 15 minutes—but what fun would that be? Allow me to take a page from Dan Savage’s playbook and propose the following: just as the name “Santorum” is now synonymous with “the frothy mixture of (something we can’t print) that is… the byproduct of (something else we can’t print),” let us forever immortalize Rinehart’s stand against the oncoming onslaught of rampant bum buggery by invoking his family name whenever we engage in our deviant, ungodly ways.

CD | PARTIE TRAUMATIC
Black Kids / Red Ink
Does anyone remember this band? No? Good for you. This snotty collection of barely legal teeners rode the tumultuous blog-o-coaster to the giddy three-feet highs of OMGINTERNETFAME, only to be buried under mountains of backlash mere weeks later. And you know what? They still suck, often sounding no better than a semi-competent high school Pavement cover band. Wake me up when they grow some hair on their balls; they might be more interesting, then.

CD | SKIN DEEP
Buddy Guy / Zomba
Holy shit, it’s Buddy Guy! I haven’t even taken off the shrink wrap, and I’m ready to declare this the album of the month. You don’t fuck with a 70+ year-old bluesman who probably slept with yer mum, yer granny, and yer great-grandma. After all, this is the bad-ass mofo that defined Chicago blues, inspiring the likes of Clapton and Hendrix. It’s spelled R-E-S-P-E-C-T, muddafuggas. Learn it and love it.

CD | THE SLIP
Nine Inch Nails / The Null Corporation
And Trent Reznor continues his decades-long quest to meld Prince, Juan Atkins and Killing Joke into some unholy creature born from the dark intersection between aggro-darkwave and bad eighth grade poetry. However, he also pushing some of the best work of his career thus far, nearly reaching the giddy heights of 94’s Downward Spiral. Almost makes me want to bust out the fishnet arm stockings and the black mascara again.

DVD | SAM AND MAX: FREELANCE POLICE –
THE COMPLETE ANIMATED SERIES
Fox Kids / Shout Factory
Sam is an anthropomorphic dog that vaguely resembles Colombo. Max is a rabbity-type thing with a large set of disturbingly sharp teeth. Together, they FIGHT CRIME! Seriously, folks: this is wonderfully strange stuff, channeled through a post-modern cartoon that was aimed towards the tweenie set. The comics and the games are undoubtedly funnier, but this collection still holds up quite well as a sterling example of absurdist non-sequitur humor. Give it a chance.      – JACOB LEE

Doesn’t this guy know that comic books are just for kids! :/

Jacob,

I’ve stopped watching television and switched to the internet and local papers.  So I was pleased to find out the family values soldiers are still up in arms fighting the good fight.  But seriously, WTF!  Why must we share this planet with such douche’s?  How many douche insults are there?  It’s sad because this guy and his narrow views are so backwards and exclusive that I weep for a nation that won’t shove him far, far away.  Also, isn’t butt buggery redundant? (laughing).

Brick reader,

Andrew
