Lawsuits Incoming

Spotted on Facebook, some bizarre AI-generated ads for Christmas ornaments that are concerning for several reasons:

a) The flagrant copyright violations

b) the obsession with butts

c) the fact that boomers will absolutely send money for this scam

Type Problem

Spotted online: A Beat Street 40th Anniversary t-shirt:

The problem is that the "40" looks like "HO", so doesn't it now look like BEAT HO STREET?

Subliminal Oppression?

Pictured below, an onscreen Sprite ad (OBEY YOUR THIRST) on the Burger King soda dispenser briefly reminded me of "They Live":

"Swimming On The Meat Juice"

Below, a TripAdvisor review of Sir Walter Raleigh Restaurant, which is just down the road from my Mom and Dad's:

Can't tell if this writer was illiterate or was using English as a second language. And apparently the reviewer has never heard of "au jus." Either way, fantasticism!

Read the review here.

And this is impressive: if you Google search the phrase "swimming on the meat juice" in quotes, there is only ONE SEARCH RESULT.

Ten Tough Questions For You

1) What are you doing at McDonald's?

2) Of all the things you could order at McDonald's why would you order a Filet-O-Fish®?

3) If you were somehow forced into ordering a Filet-O-Fish®, why in God's name would you want two of them?

4) Now that you have two Filet-O-Fishes®, are you going to actually sit there in public and eat both of those nasty fucking things?

5) Does all that tartar sauce make you feel like a porn star?

6) Did you ever notice that there is fucking CHEESE in those things? Great Shit.

7, 8) How do you feel after downing two Filet-O-Fish® sandwiches although you only paid for one? Do you feel like you got away with something, or do you feel like you're being punished for something?

9) On the back of your new receipt, is there yet another coupon for a free Filet-O-Fish® with a purchase of a Filet-O-Fish®?

10) Do you have $2?

The EADJ Fashion Round-Up, Summer Beach Issue

Tessa shows off the latest Czech Republic fashion in an all-denim pantsuit covered by a vinyl jacket and purse made from the skin of a Romanian dog.

Meanwhile at the Jersey Shore, J-Woww stands all contrapposto while her guido juicehead boyfriend aggressively stakes the joint out for someone to defend her honor against. By the way, "Jersey Strong" never meant "Jersey Smart."

Cam and Cam sport matching stripes down the boardwalk as they discuss New Order vs. Depeche Mode.

Valerie was pretty sure she nailed the job interview. Pretty sure.

There's short pants, and there's get-followed-by-a-creepy-guy-with-a-camera short pants.

George celebrated the recent civil union between André 3000 and Will.i.am by eschewing socks in church. 

No change here. Have a great, fun summer, girls!

Madeline, or "Tragic Contessa" as she's about to be known as at school for the rest of her senior year, gets ready for prom.

Girl, Rhonda looks good in a pattern. Mmm hmm. Looks good. Purse don't even have to have a pattern. That shit can be solid white. Rhonda can pull it off just with her outfit. Mmm hmm.

Betsy uses a bold red top to distract from the eye-bleeding pattern combination of her leggings and bag that makes your retinas explode.

Times have been tough for Gail since Steve Jobs' death.

Fiona texted the entire concert, although it was a miracle she could see her phone past those ginormous snoobs.

Hey, laugh all you want. Laugh at his golf shorts swimming trunks or her overstuffed, over-revealing bikini. Laugh at the contrast of the two different body types. And sure, laugh at their hats. But fuck it. They found each other, didn't they? They could certainly give a shit about you.

The Bulletin Board At The Midtown Five Guys Burger Place Is Interesting

The EADJ Sticker Show, Entry 2

Once again, using the power of Google, EADJ invetigates and explains the random decals one spots around town:



The Brown Angels Sticker spotted in San Francisco.

Alternative band or vigilante Filipino fighters?


Google didn't turn up a lot, except for a lot of mentions of Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons," the sequel to "The Da Vinci Code".

Some further hunting found that The Brown Angels are or were some kind of rock band. They even opened up for Silversun Pickups. So that's neat.


The Brown Angels apparently have no presence on YouTube. Or myspace.

---------


SYC BOIS Sticker spotted in Modesto, CA.

Punk band or Neverwinter Nights clan?


Punk band, established 1999. So, no surprises there.

"The S.Y.C. (Street Youth Core) BoiS are a punk rock band from southern california. There are three members Bucky, Chris, and Eddie. We are rock and roll. Punk rock is what we are about. 'Shave your head and die your hair, safety pins right through your ears'."

But a quick search for them on YouTube or myspace revealed nothing. Are they disbanded?


---------


How Many Robots Have You Killed Today Babe? Stickers spotted around Manhattan.

Anti-technology artist's rant or obscure quote from SyFy series?




This is actually a reference to a Haitian photographer's Tumblr page. The Brooklyn-based photographer (and writer) Richard Louissaint sells books of his photography and even runs his own blog. Neat.


---------


Slopness Monster: Sticker spotted in Austin, TX.

Skateboarding company or web comic?



Turns out SlopnessMonster.com is a multi-city, multi-campus website devoted to displaying photos of drunk hi-jinks like puking or passing out, offering pithy captions like "Trunk Limbo" or "My Bunny."


And do they have a social media component? What do you think, asshole?


---------


Run From Popo: Sticker spotted in Midtown NYC.

City pro-tip or viral web game?


Run From Popo is some kind of paintball tournament in urban settings which oddly (but awesomely) requires the people who play as "popo" to have served in a military, police, security or law enforcement job and the people who play as "criminals" to have really been arrested once.



Looks pretty harmless, seeing how the "criminals" dress in cartoony striped fatigues. Still, someone could really get shot.
