I’ll Stay Til After Christmas comp draws weak cheap shots on iTunes

I took the cover photo for the new Animal World Recordings release, “I’ll Stay Til After Christmas,” a project benefiting Amnesty International.

The holiday compilation is a digital-only release, so it is primarily selling through iTunes. While most people who hear the collection enjoy it (myself included) there is a vocal minority who takes personal offense. Here are some choice attempts at cheap shots:
From “St. Andrew”: “…one listen to the versions of “I’ll be home for Christmas” or “Silent Night” on this record and you’ll slit your wrists in the bathtub. Seriously.”
From “jmo38″: “Who are these people? This recording studio needs a security guard badly.”
and the best of the bunch from “crackandrhymes”: “This is garbage.”
As you can see, these are feeble attempts at cheap shots. Why not listen to the tracks for yourself and improve upon these disgracefully amateur insults (if you don’t totally dig the record, which you will probably dig)?

Wes Anderson and David Lynch on the McCain payroll?

I missed this before–apparently the reason McCain’s low on cash is that he spent it all hiring big-shot film directors to shoot attack ads for him. Check it out:

Mark Wahlberg talks to animals

Andy Samberg had a great cheap shot on this week’s episode of SNL. Here it is:

And here’s Mark Wahlberg with Ludacris talking to a different kind of animal across the street from my apartment last night.

Palin’s pitiful plea to join the CSP

Did you see Sarah Palin’s thinly veiled attempt to gain membership in the Cheap Shot Posse? In her acceptance speech Wednesday night she tried to curry favor with us by insulting Barack Obama’s experience as a community organizer.

Sorry Sarah- that wasn’t a cheap shot, that was zero class. See even your own party members agree: zero class.

True Life: Palin broke my heart

bookworm

This Time Magazine article talks a lot about Sarah Palin, America’s favorite new Vice Presidential nominee and could-be sexy librarian. But hold your horses you “book-lovin’-women” lovers. It turns out she’ll never be the sexy librarian of your dreams because she’s more of a book-hatin’-woman.

“Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. “She asked the library how she could go about banning books,” he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. “The librarian was aghast.” That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn’t be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving “full support” to the mayor.”

Too bad. Guess I’m going to have to have ol’ Cindy McCain read me “Where the Red Fern Grows” tonight.

Which NFL player is best at chop blocks?

Big news- the CSP is fielding it’s first NFL fantasy team. The only problem is we know next to nothing about current NFL players. So if you have any suggestions for who we should draft, please chime in. Keep in mind we want to get players who are really good at taking cheap shots, so this is kind of what we’re looking for:

The draft is this Sunday, so get those tips in now!

dear cheap shot posse,

i’ve missed you. life got in the way of our love, and i didn’t fight for your honor. i’m sorry. i have seen many interesting things in my time away…very few of which are worth posting, so you haven’t really missed out on anything.

regardless, i plan on getting back on the posting bus. i’d give you something worthwhile now, but i just bought season 4 of the office, and there’s chicken and rice on the stove (the gills would be proud), and a bottle of wine ready to become good friends. i may or may not be having an evening alone.

my point is that i’d like to dust off my chair in the clubhouse and join back in on the fun.

life sucks without cheap shots. waddya say?

Black Kids have become a self-parody of their own ironic 80’s references

This is Black Kids’ third music video and it’s so bad, you’d they’d been drug-addled superstars for years, not months. Also, who knew OJ Holmes was into cos-play?
