The ProofrEADJer: October Edition

Someone's proofreader must've drouped out of school:

 

Live. Laugh. Pathmark.

What The Fart, Channel 7 News Team In Boston?!

I seriously don't know what's going on here. The camera now crops your broadcasts so that your anchors are sitting way at the bottom of the screen while some MegaJumbotron screen the size of Chairman Mao's portrait runs a screensaver.


Apparently your producers have never been to photography or film school, because otherwise they'd know about the Rule Of Thirds, wherein a frame is divided to create well-balanced and interesting shots.




Maybe you're trying to make a bigger deal of your big TV screen, since you paid so much for it. Or maybe you're somehow so proud of your graphics department that you want to reward them with front-and-center attention.


Well, all I know is that Nestor at Diego's Salon is majorly PISSED that his handiwork is being relegated to the size of a grape.

More Hip Hop Awfulness

It's time once again to document the latest and weakest in hip hop. And this time it seems we have to categorize the different kinds of awfulness.

Using Food Imagery For Mixtape Covers


Because the one thing more street than a baker's hat is Canadian currency.


Looks like someone couldn't finish photoshopping the waitress outfit, said "fuck it," and plopped a bag of money to cover her.


Not sure why this is all going down at a Texaco station. Any ideas?

I do, however, appreciate the reflection of the orange in his sunglasses.

Terrible MC Names


"Thirstin Howl III" is a good name because it clearly states that you're rich. It's bad because we all know what rhymes with "third."


"Kil Ripkin." Yup, that's his handle. By adopting this name, this emcee invites comparisons to legendary Hall of Famer and former Orioles shortstop and third baseman Cal Ripken, Jr., who holds the record for consecutive games played (2,632). Except he KILLS. Get it?




General Misappropriation

"DJ H1N1" would actually sound pretty badass.


I'm confused about appropriating the "bodega" theme here, but points for the "Ed Haji" shirt.

Junk 'n Donuts

On a dare from a reader, I agreed to order from that little cart near work that stores donuts at cock-level. If that makes you question this writer's maturity, maybe you shouldn't be reading a blog named "Eat A Dick Joel," smartypants.




Overall, not a harrowing experience, but not a pleasant one either. But at $1 a donut, it's way, way cheaper than ever ordering from that place across the street, Pret A Manger. *shudder*
