Learning More About Jayman


Hola Y’all! Al Harris, Roseanne Harris Connor’s dad, once said “I’ll tell you something about me. I’ll never spend the night in a Communist country. I’ll visit one during the day, but I won’t spend the night in one.”

Okay, so I’ve probably watched every episode of Roseanne one or two too many times, but I’ve always found that line funny for some reason. Anyway, I thought maybe today would be a good time for me to tell you, our vast and diverse world-wide audience, a few things about the Jayman. If you’ve been around since the old days of Cynical_Bastard(later changed to Every Day Jay) then a few of these might be things you already know. But, they’re always worth repeating. And it deserves to be done in third person. 

- Jayman would like to compliment Miley Cyrus for having the balls to wear this outfit to the Bilboard Music Awards Sunday night. Any babe can wear a short skirt or something with a plunging neckline, but it takes real courage to look at an outfit and say “I know, how ‘bout if I just wear the jacket and nothing else!?” Jayman admires people like that.

- Jayman would absolutely love to live someplace where he didn’t need a car. Cars are nothing but a huge headache and ridiculous expense. Also, too many people look at a car as a status symbol, or worse, to compensate for a teeny-weeny wee-wee.

- Speaking of cars, when Jayman gets out of his car (when he’s driving) he walks all the way around behind the car rather than just walk straight forward after closing the door. Jayman isn’t sure when he picked up this habit, but sometimes people driving through the parking lot think he’s going to cross the parking lot in front them and seems confused and surprised when he simply walks around his car and goes in the other direction. Jayman thinks they look so silly stopping and looking at him with that “WTH Dude?” look.

- Jayman won’t share a bar of soap with anyone. We can spend a weekend shacked up in a cheap hotel doing disgusting things to each other, but when we’re done, use your own damn soap.

- Jayman is a Pepsi addict. Jayman has quit drinking Pepsi several times, even for pretty long periods of time. But, somehow he ends up going back to it at some point. Crack can’t be this hard to quit.

- There’s nothing fake about Jaman’s love of Asian women, but he will admit that the way it pisses so many people off is a real bonus.

- Jayman refuses to watch HIS team lose a game. If they are behind Jayman will turn it off with a few seconds left so he doesn’t have to hear the announcers tell me the other team won and the final score.

- Jayman is good at small talk. He can talk about pretty much anything but it will be up to other people to initiate conversation because Jayman is too shy and socially awkward. Same goes for online chat on G-Talk or Facebook Chat or Skype. Jayman rarely sends the first message cause he’s pretty sure you’re busy talking to someone else and wants to be considerate like that. 

- Jayman has to check out each window and through the peephole in the front door while making sure all windows and doors are locked each night before going to bed. He’s not paranoid, he just likes to practice good prevention.

- Jayman will not touch raw meats and he will wear food safe gloves if he has to handle chicken, hamburger or fish. And, even though he was wearing those gloves, Jayman will still wash his hands very thoroughly after throwing the gloves away.

- Jayman won’t eat fish if the head is still on. He doesn’t want his dinner staring back at him with that “How could you?” look on its face.

So, as you can see, The Jayman is a pretty fascinating guy. He should probably be put behind glass and have scientist study his life for a while or something. Jayman is sure it their observations would be a fascinating read.

Zimmerman Charged With Murder!!

Happy Thursday all…Matt-Man here.  Yeah, I’m here alright, but let me tell you…I’m a little scared.

Why, you ask?

Because yesterday, Florida State Attorney and special prosecutor Angela Corey, announced that George Zimmerman had turned himself in, and had been charged with second degree murder in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

From this point on, both George Zimmerman and the family of the late Trayvon Martin will get a free and fair trial.

Well, God Bless Us All…

This will surely end the 24/7 maniacal rantings by the New Black Panthers, Sean Hannity, MSNBC, and you…the every day, go to work kinda guy or gal.  Right?

Ha!!

It’s merely the beginning…

Angela Corey on behalf of the State of Florida, charged George Zimmerman with second degree murder, and thankfully set the wheels of true, unemotional, evidence based justice into motion.

However…

Her healing, and well-thought out decision to put George Zimmerman on trial for second degree murder, will soon have an adverse affect on us all as well.  Well...at least an adverse effect on me.

What is the Zimmerman Effect of which I speak?

As soon as the trial begins, and probably before, there is going to be speculation out the ass 24/7 about the jurors, the testimony, the demeanor of the judge, and the ultimate effect of the verdict, by assholes who haven’t a clue as to how to even dress or feed themselves.

Every dead, used up, skeletal, one and done, famous lawyer will be dug from up the graveyard of juris prudence in order to provide his or her, “expert insight.”

Every talking head on cable TV and talk radio, such as Hannity, Maddow, Grace, and Limbaugh will meld evidence “as they see it”, into innuendo, conjecture, and ergo, “fact”, thereby either clearing or condemning Zimmerman of murder.

And you know what is even worse for a guy like me…A guy who doesn’t watch a lot of TV, but rather, gets his news and info from internet sources, and interacts often on social media sites..?

Beginning today, I will have to have to endure every person whoever won at Clue and is a lawyer wannabe, every uptight misanthrope who thinks he/she knows what truly happened, and every white and black bigot who is making a stand for their “side” by offering up their evidence, testimony, and trial in one convenient swoop.

I’m not looking forward to this, because this one convenient swoop of speculation is going to last for a few months.

Oh DEAR GOD…

Over the next few months….The Blog Posts…The Tweets…The Facebook posts…Everyone is going to show through their comments, that they have somehow, suddenly and spontaneously graduated from Law School.

It’s going to be brutal.

Listen folks…If you believe in America, you should believe in our judicial system.  It’s not perfect, nothing is, but it is pretty good, so I beseech of you…

Could you please, please…allow this trial to run its course.  Let the lawyers do the lawyering…Allow the judge to do the judging, and allow a jury of Zimmerman’s peers to find him guilty or not guilty.

If you do not allow these things to transpire, you are not only a simpleton who thinks he or she knows better than everyone else, you hate America, and one more thing…

You will annoy the fuck out of me.

Cheers!!

A Whole New Jay


Hola Internet Peeps! Jay here to talk about social media again! I know you’re getting tired of Jay talking about social media BUT IT’S ALL HE’S GOT! So please be patient with Jay. Also, Jay has a few more things that he hasn’t addressed. But, Jay is a nice guy, so Jay will compromise with you. Jay will stop blogging in third person. How’s that for fair? Jay agrees!

Whew! I’m glad that third person shit is over with. It was getting annoying. Anyhoodle, I’ve been thinking about social media and my post from last week plus some things that happened over the weekend and I’ve come to a conclusion. I’m simply too nice. I let too many things go. It’s time Jay took a stand.  Oops, slipped back into third person there. Sorry, old habits die hard.

The first thing I want to talk about is something I tweeted about last week and the uber lovely Dianne with two n’s posted about yesterday. Blogger has changed up its word verification. And? IT’S BULLSHIT! So, Jay I’ve come up with a new commenting policy. 
Effective immediately, on blogs that I have followed for a long time, I will attempt to comment ONCE. If the word verification doesn’t let me through, then I’ll move on. On all knew blogs, I will not even take the time to attempt to break through the idiotic word verification. I don’t want to hear your complaints about spam. Too fucking bad. If you make it hard for people to comment on your blog, then you have no room to complain about people not commenting.

Same rule goes for blogs with comment moderation. I don’t know why, but I really, REALLY hate comment moderation. Well, I do know why. It takes away from the community feel of blogging and restricts the back and forth that commenting can sometimes create. Anyway, for blogs I’ve read for a while now, I’ll try ONCE and that’s it.

Also, I will no longer ReTweet, Digg, Stumble, Reddit or otherwise promote other people’s shit who never reciprocate at all. That’s total bullshit right there. You arrogant, entitled pieces of shit! I help you promote your shitty writing or podcasts, but you think you are owed that and don’t turn around help me with my shitty writing and podcast? Well fuck you!

You know, I kind of like this “New Jay.” Jay doesn’t put up with anyone’s shit. Jay takes a hard line with social media people. That’s right, Jay is writing in third person again! You know why? Because Jay doesn’t give a fuck, that’s why!

Well, okay I kind of give a fuck. I mean, I’m still a nice guy. I wish I wasn’t sometimes. And maybe I shouldn’t be. But, I do hold back a lot. I let a lot of things go and I think it’s time to stop doing that. In fact, on Twitter this morning I took a run at Miranda Lambert, and I just a little exchange with Gregg Doyel of CBS Sports. Of course, I lost, but that’s okay. I took a run at him. I’ll win next time. It’s about not letting things go.

It’s all about being a whole new Jay. If that’s okay with you guys? Is it?

--

In other, yet related news, Matt-Man and Jayman presented “A Social Media Extravaganza in Third Person” on I’m With Stupid. And? It was fantabulous! An absolute classic. Listen in to find out the OUTRAGEOUS request that Jay fielded on Saturday from another BTR host. And, Jay’s reasoning behind agreeing to it. Although, the “new” Jay would never have done so.

We talked Social Media, Whitney Houston’s funeral and then IWS favorite Mike (who uses that annoying damn word verification) called in. And of course there was a “Pee Break with Schmoop” segment that was just awesome.

So, check it out! We very much appreciate your listening and in now feel like we’re entitled to it. We just want to make everyone happy and bring a smile to their face.

When Rachel Maddow and Sean Hannity Speak, A Third Person Cries

Yesterday, IWS’ beloved Jayman wrote about his sadness.  He waxed poetically, about how social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook break Jayman’s heart.

Well folks, let me tell ya.  Matt-Man too, has suffered some of the same virtual slings and arrows that have pierced the pride, self-esteem, and psyche of Matt-Man’s friend, the Jayman.

And, much like Jayman…when Matt-Man gets annoyed and/or on rare occasions, angered, he too, begins to speak and write in the overly annoying third person style.

Matt-Man hates it, but he can do nothing about it.  The third person takes over the Matt-Man, and Matt-Man simply has to allow it to run its course.

And to underscore this theme…Matt-Man, much like his buddy Jayman is pissed about some of your actions on Twitter and Facebook.

That’s right, Matt-Man has problems with some people.

Take for instance, one Allison Dickson…Oh my Lordy!!

Matt-Man and her have been friends for years, until?

Matt-Man asked on Facebook…

“Why do networks like NBC have Rachel Maddow on to talk about birth control?  It’s like asking Oscar Wilde about the benefits of vasectomies.”

Holy Cow, instead of responding with a good reason for NBC putting on a non-sperm loving lesbian like Maddow to spout why contraceptives should remain legal and accessible, the Dickson chick, shouted down the Matt-Man by saying something insignificant and defriending him AND, IWS on Facebook.

Hell NBC would have been more on target by bringing on the only man on Cable TV who has a vagina to discuss birth control, one, Cavorter of Catholicism, Sean Hannity

Matt-Man says virtually, and posthumously, (not because he died, but because it sounds good), “Grow Up.”

Matt-Man can’t help it…He loathes the agenda rich Maddow, and hates far left loons and much as far right loons.  Matt-Man wants to find an acceptable center…

A center where the personal privacy of peoples is respected.  Where people can do what ever the hell they feel like, if it doesn’t affect anyone else.  A center where…

Lifestyles, social mores, and tenets of faith or no faith, are kept out of government, and confined to one’s heart and soul where they belong.

Folks…Yesterday, we had an official Congressional Committee hearing on contraception…The entire panel of people being questioned were, clergyMEN.

Hell…While Matt-Man is a Liberal, yet a registered Independent, Matt-Man is pissed off by MSNBC firing Pat Buchanan.  In his newest book, Pat derided the guilt of whites and says that we as a nation are sucked in by Israel, so MSNBC defrocked Pat from being a continuing contributor.

That's Bullshit.

Y’know what Matt-Man thinks about all this hoy-paloy?

Matt-Man thinks that 24/7 news people who rail against politics on Capitol Hill never being more divided along partisan lines, fail to realize that people in America have never been more divided…and perhaps, while not more stupid than the media…just as intellectually lazy.

And…Matt-Man thinks often, especially these days, about the quote once uttered long ago by H.L. Mencken (among others in various forms)…

“People deserve the government they get, and they deserve to get it good and hard.”

If you look at social outlets like Facebook and Twitter today…Americans are as much angry as they are sensitive, and yet…

They refuse to listen to the opinions of others with whom they disagree, and will block them, defriend them, or unfollow them…Matt-Man finds that funny.  However…

That also makes Matt-Man very sad, because…

Matt-Man knows that the people in Congress are there because voters of like-mind put them there, and that Matt-Man’s friends are why we are in our current fuck-up-ness as a nation.

Too many are too far Left.  Too many are too far Right.  Yet…

In between the fringes of moronic thought...lie you, Matt-Man, and common sense.

Don’t allow idiots like Rachel Maddow and Sean Hannity to squeeze us out of the nation’s dialogue.

Cheers!!

Sometimes Social Media Makes Jay Sad


Hola internet peeps, Jay here. You know, Jay is getting a little burned out so he is just going to ramble a bit today. Oh, and Jay is going to do it in third person to make it more challenging.

Sometimes Jay just doesn’t understand social media sometimes. Jay makes funny tweets that get no response at all. Like just yesterday there was hashtag game on TWitter using #badpornnames. So, being the funny guy Jay is, he went with “Julia Louis-Drypuss.” And what did Jay get for his comedic efforts? … Heartache.

No “haha’s” or “LOL’s” or favorites or retweets. Apparently Jay was the only one who thought knew that was funny. So, Jay didn’t bother following it up with “Dixie Sticks” because he knew nobody would appreciate that either. This makes Jay sad when this happens.

Do you think Dr. Oz wears his scrubs to church? I bet he does. Dr. Oz is to scrubs what Richard Nixon was to the blue suit.

Jay also brought his comedic talents to Reddit, where he is already hated, but won’t give up. On the Natalie Portman sub board, Jay saw a post about Natalie “getting back to work doing two new movies.” So, Jay commented and said “It’s about time! She’s been slacking for almost a year now.”

Again, what kind of reaction did Jay’s comment get? Heartache and down votes. Why? Because nobody on Reddit has a sense of humor. Jay got one reply and it was “Yeah, well she DID have a baby so maybe you could be a little more considerate and give her time to have the kid and recover.” This made Jay sad because he can’t believe that there are people so fucking stupid that they thought Jay was being serious with his comment.  

Mmmm … Jay loves Guinness.

You know people; nobody dislikes Chris Brown more than Jay. Not just because Jay loves Rihanna, but because Jay thinks Chris Brown is just a bad guy and his music, well, okay Jay doesn’t think Chris’ music sucks. Anyway, Jay has been noticing all the OUTRAGE over Chris performing at the Grammy’s and all the holier than thou attitudes towards him. Jay also has been noticing the very judgmental things many people have said about the late, great Whitney Houston.

But, you know what else Jay has noticed? That everyone gave Glen Campbell a standing ovation after his performance at the Grammy’s Sunday night. The reason Jay finds this interesting, is because Glen Campbell was accused of domestic violence a few times and was addicted to drugs and alcohol. So, Jay wonders why the standing-o for Glen and the tsk, tsking for Chris and Whitney. RACISM, that’s why! Jay is sure of it.

Well, after not getting any validation for his funnies on Twitter, Jay decided to try something different today. Jay went to Facebook and asked if anyone there had watched “Lilyhammer” on NetFlix. Jay thought maybe he could get a little discussion going with all the movie and TV folks over there. Take a wild guess at what Jay got from his Facebook friends? Yup, more heartache. Apparently, everyone on Facebook is ignoring Jay today.

Jay is so sad.

Anyway, Jay is starting to get longwinded so he thinks he’ll end this right here. Maybe Jay will head over to Twitter and lay down some funny for his undeserving and unsupportive followers over there. Jay could always do some Tumblr action too. But, those people aren’t much better. Jay sure as hell isn’t going to Facebook though.

Well, maybe Jay will because no matter what, Jay loves all of you even you don’t love Jay.

Also, Jay loves Guinness. Has Jay mentioned that?

Whitney Houston Dies and Social Media Freaks Out


Hola! Well, another celebrity has died unexpectedly (kinda) and once again it has been fascinating to pop some popcorn, open a beer and just sit back and watch Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook lose their collective shit. It’s fast becoming my favorite activity. I almost wish a celebrity would die every week just so I could enjoy the reaction. But, that would make me a bad person, so I don’t. Okay, how ‘bout every two weeks?

Anyway, when things like this happen, I’ve found that most people fall into one or more of several categories…

1. The Biggest Fan: This is the person, usually a girl, who does the “You guys just don’t understand how much I loved *insert name of recently deceased celebrity here*. I was sooooo much more of a fan than you were.”

2. The “Who” Guy: This is the guy who retweets the breaking news announcement with a dismissive “Who?” He’s usually the guy who loves to tell everyone how he doesn’t follow any popular movies, TV shows, sports, books, music or any other pop culture, probably doesn’t own a TV and is in general just way fucking superior to you. He usually uses a Mac and does most of his online activity while squatting at Starbucks. 

3. The Judgy McJudgerson: This is the guy or girl who basically makes the argument that the celebrity deserved to die because they were engaging in illegal or immoral activities. This person is not the same as, but has lots in common with…

4. The “Pathetic” Guy: This is the guy or girl who loves to mock celebrities because they’re all pathetic and are all addicted to drugs and alcohol. As if celebrities are the only people who are. 

5. Sanctimonious Guy (or Girl): This is the person who is quick to post things like “Well, I’ll say a prayer for the thousands of everyday people who died today who aren’t celebrities and don’t get any publicity.” Or worse, the guy (or girl) posts that or something similar but includes a picture of flag draped coffins of soldiers who have died in battle. What’s really terrible about this person is they’re full of shit. Almost none of them have ever said a prayer for all the “regular” people who have died that day including soldiers.

6. Tweeter Guy (or Girl): This is the person who just retweets updates as they’re posted by TMZ or other Breaking News Twitter Account. Just in case others haven’t heard the latest.

7. The Always Late Guy (or Girl): This is the person who either retweets a Breaking News tweet about the celebrity’s death about 6 hours after everyone else first heard about it or just tweets “OMG! Whitney Houston Died???????” during the Grammy’s 30 hours after her death.

8. Gilbert Gottfried Wannabe: This person, usually a guy, just spends the night trying to come up with the most offensive and disrespectful jokes to make about the dead celebrity. Usually these people suck, but occasionally, they’re actually kind of funny. But, the worst of these people are the ones who take other people’s jokes they saw on Twitter and post them on Tumblr as their own. Those people deserve to die.

9. Page View and Ratings Guy: This is the guy who makes up lists about social media when celebrities like Whitney Houston die just to get page views on his blog or listens on his podcast. Man, that guy sucks.

Fuck It

Yesterday, while seeping through the sewer system societal wonder that is the tubes of the internets, I came across something that I have seen before, and it set off a chain reaction of anger within me so great, that I ripped the hair from my head.

Okay, I rubbed my obviously bald think melon until it bled, but you get the point. Anyway…

My tirade was related to the use, and in some instances, the non-use, of the English language by some in this wacky world. And what set it off, you ask?

I was reading a blog and within the body of the article, the author typed, “f*ck.”

I am not sanitizing his words; he literally typed, “f*ck”, complete with asterisk.

I…HATE…that. Always have. Makes the Matt-Man irrationally hateful. Makes the Matt-Man think, speak, and type in annoying, third person sentence fragments.

Listen folks…If you feel the need to the use word “fuck”, use it.

Don’t type “f*ck”.

That is just plain silly and childish. Fuck is a great verb, and when morphed into “fucking” or better yet, “fuckin’”, acts as an awesome adjective, adverb, and/or intensifier.

So hear me now…Please refrain from taking a fantastic word such as “fuck” and bastardizing it. Oh excuse me, you sensitive types…please refrain from b*stardizing it. Anyway…

After my irrational upheaval involving the word fuck, it was announced that the Cincinnati Bengals traded Carson Palmer to the Oakland Raiders. 

I really didn’t give a shit about the news until I heard a sports clown say the following about whether Palmer was worth potentially two first round draft picks…

“It’s a good deal for the Bengals. Palmer is an adequate Quarterback, but he’s definitely not in the same league as your Peyton Mannings, your Tom Bradys, or your Aaron Rodgerses…”

What the hell is with the pluralization of these guys?

Last time I checked the list of NFL Quarterbacks, there was only ONE Peyton Manning, only ONE Tom Brady, and only ONE Aaron Rodgers!! Oh Dear Gawwwwd!!

I…HATE…That. Always have. Makes the Matt-Man irrationally hateful. Makes the Matt-Man think, speak, and type in annoying third person sentence fragments.

And then…The dam of bad English broke quicker than a N’awlins levee…I witnessed a chick say that she got a new purse, “FOR free.” 

Hey Blondie…one doesn’t get anything FOR free; one sometimes gets things, “free.”

I also saw the typical outrage by some over people using the words “gay” and “retarded” to describe things. Shut the hell up, whiners. Some things are gay. Some things are retarded.

Listen bitches, I took my son to school Tuesday, and he was wearing a pink polo shirt, beige shorts, blue/gray socks, and white tennis shoes that had a purple swoosh on them. Hell, he looked gay AND retarded, and I told him so.

I beg of you all…Could we please allow the beauty and clarity of the English language to be spoken and written as it was intended? Help me to keep political correctness and suburban sissiness out of a great language.

‘Cause if you don’t, not only will I revert once again to talking in third person sentence fragments, I will call you an a**hole, because as hateful Matt-Man knows…

Behind every asterisk, lies an asshole...or two.

Cheers!!
Matt-Man

Haters...Ya Gotta Love 'Em

Hey, what’s up?  Ben Haten here, to liven up your Friday on this pathetic excuse for a blog or website, or whatever the hell you want to call this internet rag sheet.

Look at those two clowns Matt-Man and Jayman…Ha!!

One looks like a gay ass, ghetto wine drinkin’, Hunter Thompson wannabe, and the other is trying to look all deep, thoughtful, and introspective with his cheap ass whiskey all dressed up in a sawed off brandy snifter.

And the chick in the middle?  In two years, she’ll be getting rug burns on those sloppy ass tits just from walkin’ around the house.  Gimme a break…I bet she’s got a nasty ass butter face too.

I wouldn’t be caught dead with a chick like that.  She reminds me of my loser ex-girlfriend, Jenna, who just dropped my ass for some loser guy.

Yeah, Jenna dropped me for some dude who is the Assistant CEO for this big company in town.  What’s wrong loser dude, not good enough to be THE CEO?  Ha.  They both can suck it.

Jenna’s all in love with the corporate hack, Bradley…yeah that’s his name, Bradley.  Ha, how gay is that?  Anyway, Brad-Boy bought her a brand new Chrysler 300 as an engagement present.  She was all excited.  Fuck that…The piece of shit car doesn’t even have heated seats.  What a tight ass.

She’s nothin’ but a sponge anyway.  Brad-Boy will find that out soon enough.  

Hell, I bet every time she takes a swim in his in ground pool, she sucks it dry in fitty seconds, ‘cause his lame ass pool isn’t very big.  Hell, it ain’t much bigger than his coffee cup sized hot tub.  Fuckin Lame-O’s.

They remind me of some of my friends…

Always trying to get ahead.  Or getting engaged. Or wasting money on stupid shit like car insurance or a big Thanksgiving dinner with their fucked up Moms, Dads, and drooling ass Grandmas.  WTF, is up with that?

Then these same people get on Twitter or Facebook, or a lame ass blog like this, and post pictures of their little kids and talk about how cute they are.  And what they did on vacation.  And how well they are doing in school.  


Ha…Ooooooo, I am soooooo impressed, you fucking idiots.  Gag.

I gotta cut this short, ‘cause I need to find my Zepplin shirt and head on down to the Panama Club, because Izzy and the Rollerblades are playing, and the place will be full of cold beer and hot chicks.

While I am partying down to head bangin' guitar riffs and babes without butter faces, you all can enjoy your cuddling, your parenting, and your sterile, yet cozy little homes.  Ha…Oh, and one other thing…

Get a clue as to what life is really all about, would ya?

Suck it Losers,

Ben Haten

First World Problems


One of the most common things you’ll find people doing online is complaining about things that really shouldn’t be that big of a deal. Whether it’s a free website or app that’s not working right, or a person of privilege being inconvenienced, social media is overrun with First World Problems. So, while people the world over are living in abject poverty and desperation, I thought I would list some examples of First World Problems that you might see on Twitter or other sites.

OMG! I can’t find the Packers/Panthers game online in HD!! 

It’s ridiculous that they didn’t make the parking spaces at Whole Foods big enough for SUVs. 

This DVR they gave me will only record one show at a time? That’s pathetic. 

The WiFi on this plane sucks balls! I’m so pissed! 

Our library doesn’t have e-books, so I have to go down there and check out the books I want. 

I guess I’ll have to lock the home office since the maid can’t remember that she doesn’t clean that room. 

GAHHHHHHH!! Quit interrupting The Vampire Diaries with that stupid fucking Amber Alert!

What? The town is going to require a parking sticker? Not on my Lexus! That’s just tacky. 

Room service stops at 10 pm? OMG! We’re staying in such a dump! 

Are you kidding? ESPN fantasy football live scoring isn’t working? Fucking losers. 

I’ve got SEVEN deadlines to meet this weekend. Remind me again why I wanted to be a writer? 

I can’t believe the price of gas. And OF COURSE I have to have a luxury import that takes premium only.
NetFlix stream is down AGAIN! That’s twice in the last three weeks. Getting old. 

This so called “Natural Foods” store doesn’t carry almond milk. So, basically it’s just another store. 

I guess I’ll have to go back to Starbucks. This place’s soy latte is just unacceptable. 

Found out I’m not one of the people getting laid off. Trip to Bermuda is off, I guess. Fucking bastards. 

Even having an option for Spanish on the ATM is a fucking outrage! 

Trying to get cash at the ATM in the airport in Venice, Italy. Finding the English option was not easy! 

Why do we bother with having a swimming pool if it’s only usable 4 months out of the year? 

This is the worst limo service EVER! Five minutes late and it’s a Lincoln instead of a Caddy. They’re fired! 

I can’t believe CBS’s shows aren’t available on On Demand. I hate having to watch online on my computer’s tiny 24” screen. 

Fucking Google Talk went down TWICE during my internet radio show. Completely unacceptable. 

My laptop backpack just totally ruined my shirt. I bet a Chanel bag wouldn't.


So, as you can see, not only are First World Problems not really problems, the people complaining about them are annoying as hell! So, think about that the next time you want to complain about what a burden your Mercedes is.

You know what else is a First World Problem? Being burdened with a big responsibility because of the HUGE success of your internet radio show. But, that’s the position we here at IWS find ourselves in. But, we aren’t complaining though. That’s not our style. 

However, on Saturday on I’m With Stupid, Matt-Man and Jayman did discuss some of the great things they have done for people using the awesome, far-reaching power of IWS. And, we talked about the one minor setback that we suffered at the hands of the ungrateful and downright rude Summy George. But, all we can do, is do the best we can. 

Also, Mike, Mrs. Mike and Dana all called in and we had a great discussion about very important issues of the day like NASCAR and Darius Rucker and other stuff. So, check it out!

Summy George...The IWS Searchlight of Help, Hope, and Happiness is Shining Upon You!!

Facebook can be a wonderful venue in which to meet new friends and reconnect with old ones, however…

Sometimes the stories and conversations that come up between friends old or new, can tug at one’s heart strings and even downright rip the myocardium right out of a person.

That very type of emotional infarction happened to me Thursday. You see…

I was sent a friend request on Facebook by a 26 year old woman of Spanish descent who lives in Lagos, Nigeria named Summy George.

Upon viewing one of the pictures in her profile…


I accepted, because I could tell that behind Summy’s twinkling eyes, lay a heart of sadness and despair…and maybe, just maybe, I could help her.

A half hour or so after accepting her friend request, I was sent a message from Summy via Facebook chat. She wanted to say hi, and introduce herself to me. I thought it was sweet of her.

I smiled at my monitor, said hi to her, and then with each word she typed, her anguish became all too apparent. My heart? It became heavy.

Summy told me how much she hated living in Africa, and longed to get away. I asked her, “Why?”

Summy said, “Too much suicide bombers and everywhere not safe again.” And then I asked her what she was going to do.

Summy replied, “I dunno. Can’t do anything ‘til I have money to fly. Fly to the USA.”

I told her that as Jayman and I produce an award winning and highly successful internet radio show and website, we could raise the money for her.

I could almost see the sob stained type running down my screen as she tearfully asked, “You can help me with ticket?” 

And then, to add penultimate sadness to my already aching heart Summy cried…

“I would love to come to USA. I’ve been there before because my dad lived there…before he died.”

Upon reading that, I vowed that I would turn on the IWS Searchlight of Help, Hope, and Happiness and ask you to aid Summy in her quest to come to these United States. She does after all, look like Lady Liberty…


Please aid me in our quest to bring Summy to her new home. A home free from terrorism, gangland killings, and the corruption brought on by newly found Nigerian petro-dollars.

She deserves better.

I am opening the Bagwine digs to her, so she has a place to stay. Jayman and I will find her gainful employment. All we need is from you is the money with which to purchase her airline ticket.

Summy is only requesting $350.00, but I know you all to be a generous lot, so c’mon, let’s send her $3,500. 

I know it is in your hearts and in your wallets. So, send the donations to Jayman or myself, and we can help Summy.

Together we can bring her to America, and once she arrives, instead of calling her Summy…we can, in unison, call her, Sunny!!

Cheers!!

P.S.  If you can't make a monetary donation by all means go to her Facebook page (by clicking HERE) and offer her a word of encouragement.

P.P.S.  Look at her pictures and let me know if she has some serious camel toe going on or if she has two large, oblong gonads split and lifted by a man thong.

IWS To The Rescue


Hola internet peoples! As you know by now, Matt-Man and I have pledged to use the powers of I’m With Stupid only for good. We have used them on two occasions so far. Matt got outstanding results from Time Warner Cable, while I got less than acceptable results from the Nazi’s Ozark’s CW.  But, the important thing is that we are here to make the world a better place. 

And, our help has been requested again. Sunday, while lying in bed trying to convince myself to get up and face the day, I felt a tingling sensation “down there*.” I knew immediately that IWS’s help was needed. I got on Twitter and found that my very good friend Gnetch had sent up the IWS signal. 

It seems as though Sunshine (my cute, endearing nickname for Gnetch) got liquored up imbibed in a few alcoholic refreshments and decided to sing Karaoke. And, her friend got some video of the ensuing awesomeness. So, Sunshine decided to upload the video to YouTube. But, YouTube refused to let her. 

Desperate to have a chance to creepily watch Gentch’s video help my wonderful friend, I frantically tried to help her get the video uploaded.  She tried everywhere we could think of. YouTube, Vimeo, Blogger, Tumblr, Photobucket, Google Plus and pretty much every other social media and video hosting site. I suggested everything short of her sending the video directly to me to attempt to upload myself. I thought about suggesting that, but I’m trying to limit my creepdom lately. We’ll see how that goes. Anyway, every site was a no go.  So, I told her it might be time for IWS to call these sites out…

WHAT THE FUCK VIDEO SITES? THERE’S A HOT ASIAN CHICK TRYING TO UPLOAD A VIDEO! GET IT THE FUCK TOGETHER, WILL YA? 

Look. This isn’t about some creepy dude who wants to see a video of a drunk, sexy Asian chick singing Karaoke. It isn’t about ME! It never is. It’s about what’s right and wrong. And not allowing Gnetchy to upload her video is just wrong. HAVE YOU PEOPLE NO SENSE OF DECENCY? Must you deny this person the happiness of uploading a video for her friends and stalkers? 

At this point, I can only assume your collective refusals to upload her video to be discriminatory. I don’t make that charge lightly, but I see nothing else that it can be. And, should this DEPLORABLE AND OUTRAGEOUS ACT continue, I will have no choice but to, once again, call on the vast and diverse world-wide following of I’m With Stupid to take drastic action. When that happens, I will expect every person who responsible for this unacceptable situation to RESIGN IMMEDIATELY! 

I have decided to engage in a semi-boycott of your sites on my own until you upload Gnetchy’s video. I will be boycotting Tumblr, Vimeo and Photobucket completely. I will boycott Blogger except when I am posting a blog, commenting on someone else’s blog or responding to comments on this blog. And I will be boycotting YouTube except for the times that I am drinking and/or am bored and decide to do searches for Japanese Game Shows or listen to some Grand Funk Railroad. 

I recommend that everyone keep an eye on this blog and Gnetch’s Blog, Twitter and Tumblr to monitor developments** in this situation. I can only hope that this post will serve as a warning shot across all these social media and video hosting site’s bows and they get their shit together. Gnetchy is a good person and DOES NOT deserve to be treated this way.  And we here at IWS simply aren’t going to stand for it. 

 
*“Down there” = “In my heart” Where did you THINK it meant, ya pervo?
