Recently, Jared Rea posted an interesting video titled “John McCain POW Brothers”. Some people may find the spoof video to be offensive as it makes fun of McCain’s POW experience, but I don’t see any problem with it. As a veteran myself, I certainly have the highest respect for McCain’s service to our country, but he has trivialized his experiences, so I don’t see a problem with others doing the same. The video pokes fun at McCain’s absurd use of the noun-verb POW, which I am sure you have all heard. I’d like to note that we should respect all combat veterans, but McCain set himself up for things like this video.
We all know that Microsoft has motion control games, Mii-like avatars and Wii-mote-like controllers up their sleeves. A new rumor has surfaced that the new Arcade bundle headed to shelves this fall will probably include motion controlers and mini-games that use the technology. For now, I’d set this rumor as questionable. Various game blogs have been throwing up motion control rumors for months and they usually turn out to be false. This time, the rumor came from Xbox 360 Fanboy. They have been credible in the past with rumors, but this one is just worded a little funny. According to the site, they got this rumor from ”a tip from a source close to Microsoft’s marketing department,”. Believe it if you want, but there’s really not much behind this one.
Dap is one of those interesting words with numerous meanings. We have yet to find a real reason to use the first meaning in the online environment, but we’ll eventually find the reason. Dap is basically a fist-on-fist greeting used to show respect. Back in the 1990s, we’d say “give me some dap” all the time, but the word eventually faded from common use. The online meaning for dap or d.a.p. happens to be “dumb ass person”, which is probably the form of the word we could still use on a daily basis. For example, “Jack Thompson is a d.a.p.”. The above image shows the future President of the United States giving his wife some dap. Sorry McCain, but we already know you lost. We’re really not sorry, but it sounded like the right thing to say.
The definition of “dap” according to The Free DIctionary obviously has nothing to do with the urban slang form of the word we use. It’s just simply a cool word and we’d like to bring it back.

Some people are trying to boycott Tropic Thunder because they use the word “retard(ed)” in the film. Others have claimed that Robert Downey Jr’s character is basically “black face”. The difference between “black face” and what we see with Tropic Thunder is that TT is meant to be funny, not hurtful. As far as people complaining about the use of the word “retard(ed)”, grow the fuck up. It actually shocks me that news anchors are calling it the “R” word now. The film is not making light of mental conditions and any moron could figure that out. People opposed to the film are taking quotes from the film out of context. Until they take the word retarded out of the dictionary, I have no problem with someone using it. The Bush administration hasn’t taken away free speech from us yet, so there’s really no room for people to complain. You people need to lighten up and grow thicker skin or just never leave your house. The PC movement in America simply continues to go too far. I’m not sure if there’s anything left in this world that doesn’t offend them. This post will probably offend them and I could honestly care less.
With that said, Tropic Thunder is probably the best comedy I have seen in several years. If you like laughing, this film is non-stop laughs from start to end. Don’t let the haters keep you from watching a really funny film.
Latest info is that Sony will not release this Firmware update until closer to E3. What a better way to greet all the E3 nerds than to say, “You’re here and you can’t see the firmware we just released to everyone else.” Unless they’re flying to LA with their PS3’s… doubt it or they go to the Sony booth, damn you E3 nerds!!!.

Meth Coffee? We thought it was some half-witted joke ourselves, but apparently a San Francisco company is producing a new product called ‘Meth Coffee’ to help people stay awake. For you meth heads and crack addicts out there, we’re fairly certain you cannot smoke this product. Sorry guys! Isn’t San Fran where they were selling some cola a few years back called “cocaine”? I guess when it comes to California, you just never know what they will export next.
