Ohio State must be so proud

I just had to post this shining example of responsible journalism...

A local television station in Cleveland produced this “investigative report” on the dangers of allowing your children to go to the public library. So they set up a hidden camera, and caught this poor slob, ummm, well... you know.
Watching this, I would swear it was a Daily Show skit. I kept waiting for Steven Colbert or Rob Courddry to pop up... but no. As one person said, watching this will change the way you see humanity.

I have but two words of advice for this young man ... the next time a camera crew catches you lying ... WALK AWAY.

(UPDATE!!: Ahh, those haters down at WKYC have forced YouTube to take down the video. But don't fret - you can find the expanded version by clicking here!

From the depths of Christa's Camera

Some shots, ranging from mid-February to recent ... In no particular order...

Ahhh... Alize... soo tasty when it hits your lips ...



Another pic from my cosy birthday barbeque



Ahh .. Alize ... you can see it's effect on me ...
That's Dan "The Wicker Man" on the left, Miss Christa in the middle



This is the face Anj makes when you give him free food



The view of the lake from Summerhill Winery ... where Miss Christa took me for my birthday dinner. Sadly, there was no Alize.



Canadian Gothic comes to Summerhill



Me, Arron (C'mon, who spells their name like that?), and Dre return from a Valentine's Eve of tobogganing at Big White...



Me n' A-dizzle cooked while the girls made out in the hot tub. Really.



Miss Christa and Becks on the sideline of one of my soccer games. Not to complain, or anything, but I'm 0-2 when my girl shows up. Hmmm... lol

Abs of steel ... wool

My sister, the diva


A shout out to my sis, Anya, for getting her book accepted by the DGA and being bumped up to first next year. (Translation: she got a promotion, which means mo' chedda, mo' betta, mo' 60-inch plasma screen in her house). And I didn't know this, either, but I guess she's a diva, too. Apparently.
(The link has been fixed, by the way... my bad)

Coal Black and De Sebbe Dwaves



They call it "The Greatest Cartoon You've Never Seen." It's been banned. You can't buy it in stores. It's only on a few esoteric websites scattered across Cyberspace. It's racist. It's unbelievably racist - by today's standards, at least.
But it's also funny as hell.
I read an article about this cartoon, created by Warner Brothers' Bob Clampett back in 1943. Best thing about it? Clampett took his animation team to Los Angeles' Club Alabam, where they soaked up lots of, ummm, "atmosphere." Actually, they all got high from all the pot in the air and, as a direct result, totally reinvigorated graphic design at Warner Animation.
Louis Armstrong was originally part of the music score, but he got replaced when he had to go on tour. Dorothy Dandridge's mother, Ruby, was the voice of the evil queen, while Vivian, Ruby's other daughter, was the voice behind Coal Black.
The cartoon was part of a group of cartoons that have never seen the light of day, called the "Censored 11." You can find a list of the others by clicking here and watch them all on youtube.com by clicking here.

Here's Coal Black for your viewing pleasure ... Followed by Goldilocks and the Jiving Bears, cause the music is too good to miss.
