Pop Culture and Politics on the Artistic Spectrum
This week, a Federal Judge in Philadelphia approved the city's (and the nation's) first "safe" heroin injection site for operation. The nonprofit organization, Safehouse, whose goal it is to establish legal opium dens all across the city, put up a long battle against various communities and attorneys over this proposal. However, one can't help but… Continue reading The Sordid State of Safe Injection Sites
The strange death of the Wissahickon Valley has seemingly come out of nowhere. But with denial, hang-wringing, and a refusal to accept any accountability for their own domestic and social policies, the people of Philadelphia are ensuring it will only get worse.
(The following editorial is a matter of opinion. The author has no inside knowledge of the subject and all thoughts herein are purely speculative in nature.) Hannah Gadsby, the Australian performance artist masquerading as a comedienne, rose to international prominence through her interminably turgid Netflix special, "Nanette." The hubris gained from being suddenly world-famous has turned Gadsby… Continue reading The ‘Nanette’ Delusion

In the past week, we've seen a very carefully orchestrated and targeted media campaign to officially sink the often-accused and decades-long-known serial Hollywood Creep, Harvey Weinstein. There isn't much to explain that articles from The New Yorker, New York Times, etc haven't already covered; but these allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior (to say the least) have been… Continue reading Is Harvey Weinstein the Iceberg…or Just the Tip?
Despite being oversaturated with historic monuments, murals, structures, and artifacts in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and specifically the city of Philadelphia, it is endlessly troubling how detached our citizens seem to be from that history. Recently, a small, but nevertheless obnoxious, group of individuals led by Councilwoman-at-Large and Asian spirit who kills you seven… Continue reading Is Philly’s Octavius Catto Monument a Warning?
You may have already forgotten (good for you) that the "rap rock supergroup" Prophets of Rage formed last year featuring most of Rage Against the Machine/AudioSlave, two members of Public Enemy, and B-Real of Cypress Hill. The amalgamation of middle-aged artists who have never written a good song in their 30+ years in the industry (with the possible exception of… Continue reading Prophets of Rage is a Cringe Masterpiece
Yesterday, a publicly funded organization called Monument Lab unveiled its latest Fall installment at Dilworth Park in Center City Philadelphia. The "monument" is an 800 lb. statue of an afro pick topped with a "Black Power" fist...because a slogan and symbol associated with African American terrorist groups like The Black Panthers is seen by the social… Continue reading Philly Combats History with SJW Propaganda
I'd like to say that violent protests and hyperbolic political discourse in the streets throughout our country was a new phenomenon; that our "Cheeto Dictator" President--or whatever--has inspired some insane reactionary hate movement. Fortunately, despite what your illiterate Facebook friends may think, that's not the case. But unfortunately, this kind of assault on western values, common… Continue reading You Might Be a Fascist If…

In a bittersweet turn of events, it appears that we have reached the end of the line for our long-running hashtag game: #XanderBerkeleyFriday For me, this relationship with recognizable character actor Xander Berkeley ended just about the time Donald Trump became president; but the online community that Sailor Twift had created surrounding the actor was still… Continue reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Creepy Old Man
Are you having a panic attack? Trouble breathing? Does it seem like the whole world is going insane, slowly crashing down around you as you spiral into a bottomless pit of depression and despair? Well, don't worry--you're in a good current year for your delusions of grandeur, body dysmorphia and political posturing. And because everyone seems… Continue reading How to solve your normie Identity Crisis in 2017
Last night, Americans were unnerved by the breaking news that Trump had ordered an artillery strike on the Syrian Air Force base from which planes carrying "Chemical Weapons" had supposedly launched an attack on the rebel-controlled town of Khan Sheikhoun. As I argued in a previous article, this "Chemical Attack" likely never occurred at all. But,… Continue reading When the Frog Went to War
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA5Yq1DLSmQ In the latest example of "dipshit social justice grandstanding" the bewildered and misguided Left have managed to get Pepsi (the sugar-water you get when the restaurant doesn't have Coke-brand sugar-water) to pull their latest long-form advertisement from the Interwebz. The ad, to anyone with a fucking brain in their skull, mimics the sentiment of the classic-but-cringe 1971 Coca… Continue reading I’d Like to Buy the World a Pepsi
As the world gains more insight into the avalanche of reporting about alleged Syrian Chemical Attacks, we begin to see that things might not be all that they seem in the Islamist Petri Dish of the Middle East. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18lf1kpBgRk Over the years, much of the Western World has been keeping Syrian President Bashar al-Assad at a… Continue reading Syria: The Tale That Wags the War Dogs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6mfjJIxgSM We all love when celebrities get involved in political issues. Leonardo DiCaprio likes to step-up for the environment. Mark Ruffalo generates fake footage of tap water being set on fire to increase his points about the dangers of fracking. Emma Watson stands up for women by spreading lies about wage gaps and rapping with Lin-Manuel Miranda. Shailene Woodley tells… Continue reading Celebrities Don’t Get Sick of Losing
On January 1st, Philadelphia became the first major city (the other being Berkeley) to enact a Soda Tax, a citywide tax increase on drinks with added sugar at a rate of 1.5 cents per ounce. For example, a gallon of sweetened tea that used to cost $1.77 now fucks your shit up for $3.69 because of an… Continue reading Phuck the Philly Soda Tax
A term coined by paranormal consultant Fiona Broome, the Mandela Effect simply describes an event or series of events that a large group of people agree played out differently than they did in real life. It comes from the cognitive phenomenon that a large group of surveyed individuals believed that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the… Continue reading Sinbad and the Mandela Effect
It's been a rough road for the American dad. From their portrayal in commercials since commercials existed, to being walked all over in every HGTV reality show where he's forced into living in a Tiny House, or choosing between identical paint swatches, the USA Daddy has been dragged into his role as the castrated fool. Dads don't… Continue reading Pony Up, Daddy! The End of the American Father
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d-4aOi3AzQ Every Christmas season we hear the same old classic tunes flowing through the speakers in our retail stores and Christ-forbid: car radios. Seriously, anyone who complains about what's "on the radio" needs to usher themselves into the 21st Century. We get the occasional new novelty songs, a cappella groups desperately trying to make Christmas… Continue reading It’s the Most Problematic Song of the Year!
As I'd mentioned in a previous article, Black Mirror--the so-far 13-episode long cinematic series on Channel 4 and Netflix respectively--has quickly became a favorite of mine due to its thematic elements, style, and ability to fuck my shit up royally for a few days at a time. Everyone who reviews this show, aside from insisting that it… Continue reading Obligatory Ranking of ‘Black Mirror’ Episodes from OK to OMG
Recently, a writer for Cosmopolitan.com decided to share the sordid details of the rapid decline of her mental health and sex life with her husband, a man, all due to anxiety over the 2016 election; more specifically, Donald Judas Trump. Laura Hooper Beck could be mentally unstable, bordering on dangerous. Who knows for sure? Only the… Continue reading If Trump Destroys Your Sex Life, It’s Your Problem
Yeah, sure--the whole karate thing is cool when you’re a kid and you think that you actually have the ability to be become a karate master like Rocky, Colt, and Tum-Tum. Well guess what, bub!

Netflix released part 2 of season 1 of their nostalgia, middle America fueled fever dream called The Ranch. With all of vibes of a cheesy sitcom, which is fine if that’s what it is, comes the need to not be like network television, or standard cable for that matter, and throw around fucks like there… Continue reading Why the F*ck Do They Say F*ck on Netflix’s The Ranch?
First thing's fucking first, I get it--this election has been pretty nuts. Not unpredictably nuts, but a level of bizarre we can all deal with, should we be mentally stable individuals. Most of us aren't. And it seems that you guys--gentle readers--are almost certainly more out-of-touch than any of the current candidates are. But, having said… Continue reading Vote for Yourselves (For All I Care)

https://youtu.be/Dn2OSU9RXwA Recently, Girls creator and alleged kiddy-diddler Lena Dunham sent out the latest round of her Lenny Newsletter which contained a one-on-one interview with her buddy Amy Schumer. The interview was utter nonsense and did no justice to either party, but in the end, Lena Dunham came out looking the most like an erratic sociopath. So, on the… Continue reading A Dramatic Reading: Lena Dunham VS Amy Schumer

As of this writing, Suicide Squad, the potential ground-breaking trip down the DC Comics Cinematic Universe rabbit hole, sits at a whopping 26% among critics on Rotten Tomatoes. But this flick is so fucking hardcore, they're not going to let a little issue like being absolutely awful spoil their fun--no, sir.

The best part of this video, released this week, isn't Witherspoon's indignant response to her overly delayed arrest, it's not her pompous and brazen attitude as she shouts "Do you know my name?" or "This is going to be national news!" No, sir. The most wonderful part of this video is when her husband, Jim… Continue reading Reese Witherspoon Treated Like a Petty Commoner
It's just another day in the uncontrollable and unpredictable life of Lindsay Lohan. The not-quite-legal events of yesterday wherein Lohan skirted her 90 days of rehabilitation in her home state of New York have come to a close. Her lawyer, Mark Heller, told a judge that she had actually checked in to Morningside Rehab in… Continue reading Lindsay Lohan is Checkin’ In!
I'm not a fan of paparazzi and getting into celebrities' business or hassling them on the street. I do, however, fully support swift and immediate scrutinization when they create their own controversies just for attention. #AmandaPlease
from (company). To put some context in of how horrified I was with this trailer, it was played in the movie theater prior to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2.
from 40OZpimp. I'm not sure exactly what I'm watching, but I can't look away. I didn't think anyone could out-redneck the entire audience of a Professional Wrestling event, but it's happened. The only good thing that could possibly come of this would be if black people can disregard the apparent racist bullshit in exchange for… Continue reading WTF is this?! (of the moment)
I was taken by surprise this morning when I woke up to learn that Ryan Dunn had been in a fatal car crash. The news was broken (or at least confirmed) by April Margera, the mother of fellow "Jackass" and "CKY" star Bam Margera, on the Preston and Steve radio show. In the beginning, we… Continue reading A Farewell to Ryan Dunn
Get your present-face ready. You know, that expression you get when someone gives you a gift that you really don't want but you have to act as enthused as your mind can handle? That's the one.

No man shall watch porn with a group of other men. There's nothing creepier than sitting around a bunch of guys watching pornography. There's absolutely no reason to. No circumstance can ever justify this, it's just wrong.

Trump has been a media icon for decades. And while I have to give him props for graduating from the Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania, and for having the wherewithal to effectively turn the company his father worked tirelessly to create into his own person piggy bank, I somehow doubt his honesty and credibility.… Continue reading Donald Trump: Genius or Chump?
All good things must come to an end, right? When something good ends prematurely, it is often missed the most. When it is out of your control, it is that much more frustrating. This goes for jobs, experiences, friendships, and really anything that is finite. Especially good TV shows. As a kid, my tastes were… Continue reading All Good Things Must Come to an End
Two unrelated but equally intriguing thoughts have been rattling in my brain over the Thanksgiving holiday. Oddly, it’s taken a fair bit of moving around the procrastinating in my schedule to find the time to formally write them down. While it’s true that the magnitude of my procrastination has reached epic proportions, I am yet… Continue reading Semi-Important Thoughts on Truth and Football
I think it's a reasonable statement to say that the Saw series has lost its way. What was once a fairly intelligent torture parade with a tantalizing villain has been spun into a simple-minded blood 'n guts affair with its liquidated brains leaking out from its repeatedly bludgeoned skull. It's become the thing that many… Continue reading I Love Movies, but I Hate Yours: Saw VII
Stereotypes are typically based on misconceptions, ideologies, or common traits that were observed or created in an attempt to disparage or discredit an entire group of people. They can be positive or negative, but either way--their main purpose is to create an pseudo-understanding of a culture that we disconnect ourselves from and make no real… Continue reading Google Answers Your Most Popular Racist Questions
Let's start off with a bit of honesty: I have listened to some pretty shitty music in my time, and I'm sure many of the bands I enjoy, some of you would find objectionable--but that isn't the point. This is a list of bands that I feel that I can make a strong case against;… Continue reading The Top Ten Bands Ruining Music
I think it's fair to say that Sylvester Stallone is living in the past. Back in the day when men were men and guns were bazookas, Sly was running around a jungle, building intricate booby traps with a bunch of sticks and blasting away psychotic gunmen in grocery stores. He was an all-out action star,… Continue reading The Expendables
Bill Murray once compared the end of the world at the hands of an evil god to cats and dogs living together. "Mass hysteria," he said in 1984's comedy classic Ghostbusters. Turns out this silly comparison may be appropriate, as in Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, the two usually feuding furry animals… Continue reading I Love Movies, but I Hate Yours: Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
Watson: There are some films out there that just make you want to puke.

The Saw franchise and the two Hostel video… Continue reading We Watched The Human Centipede So You Don’t Have to
I'm certain if you're reading this, you're most likely already a die-hard fan of the epic television masterpiece, Jersey Shore--the reality TV phenomenon that introduced the world to remarkable human beings like Snooki, The Situation, and DJ Paulie D. Because you're such a fan of the show, you've no doubt heard that MTV has picked… Continue reading Jersey Shore: Miami…that makes sense.
Why? A simple question. Why? An adverb meant to express puzzlement and curiosity. Why in the holy bejesus fuck are Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg still working in the film business?

First off, just so this little blurb doesn't reek of cyber-bullying, I have nothing but respect for Roger Ebert. He's made some pretty brainless comments, like when he made his feelings known about how video games could never be considered "art." But, he's also held some astonishingly relevent stances--like his opinions about how new 3D… Continue reading Roger Ebert will Haunt Your Dreams
I want you to picture Stanley Kubrick. A brilliant director, considered by many to be a genius and one of the greatest filmmakers who has ever lived. You picturing him? Right, I now want you to picture Uwe Boll, a man who is heavily thought of as the epitome of bad film making, a man… Continue reading The Last Airbender
Fuck nostalgia. Everything that disappeared from popular culture probably disappeared for a good reason. Sorry, Gary--it was your time. We moved on, possibly through some theory of memetics; on to bigger and better things. But at the same time, it seems like many things are heading backwards. In a future that we were promised virtual… Continue reading Ten 90’s Trends That Need to Make a Comeback
A doorknob once said, "Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction.” I guess Tim Burton skipped this part of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, as he decided not to read the directions of the children's favourite when making his own film adaptation of it. Alas, it was not… Continue reading Alice in Wonderland (DVD Review)
How BP President, Tony Hayward, isn't literally going door to door in the Gulf coast offering blowjobs to the locals is beyond me.

Good day to you, my fellow Americans--and welcome to the first in a hopefully-not-ill-fated series I like to call "This Is Why They Hate Us." Who hates us? Well, not everyone, of course--but many do. Perhaps "hate" is too strong of a word--maybe the rest of the world just resents us for how we throw… Continue reading TIWTHU: Philly Edition!
When compiling a list of the top of anything, one must consider quite a few things. It would be too easy to go with the staples of cover art. You wouldn't have to dig too deep to find gems like The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band or Pink Floyd's The Wall. Once we… Continue reading The Top 50 Best Album Covers EVER
Well, it's official, kids. The terrorists have won. They won in Denmark, they won in England, and now they've won in America. It's a shame, really. So many of our country's young men and women have sacrificed their lives to defend our "freedom." They died for nothing. Perhaps I sound rather nonchalant about this whole… Continue reading Battlefield: South Park
The Internets are buzzing with the news of an alleged "Time Traveler" caught on camera in a museum photo in Canada. The practically seamless advances in photo-editing technology have caused many to play guessing games, and others to simply not give a shit. Here is the photograph in question--taken in the 1940's: While the possibility… Continue reading Canada’s Most Wanted Time Traveler
A funny thing happened while channel-surfing today. Do people still use that term? "Channel Surfing?" Anyways, when I say "funny," I mean: horrifying.

It's time for America's favorite game-show: GUESS WHAT HAPPENS! I shouldn't spoil it for you, but this breaking news story is just fucking crazy.

In case you haven't heard, Singer / songwriter John Mayer did an interview with Playboy and certain remarks he made within the interview, sparked some controversy.

Hopefully, we've all had a decent-enough education to know that at one point in American History, the consumption and sale of alcohol was strictly prohibited by the United States government. Fortunately, this occurred at a time in History when our government could learn from their mistakes and push "we fucked up" initiatives after stupid decisions… Continue reading The SuperDPS Guide to Prohibition
Sorry to barge in uninvited like this. You don't know me but I am very curious about you.

Through the mixed blessing of… Continue reading Dear Target Audience for SPARTACUS: Blood and Sand…
According to the Telegraph in the UK--I know, why should you give a shit?--an Indian geneticist has taken blood samples from the Taliban's Pashtun Afridi tribe and comparing it to the DNA of Israeli Jews.

One of these numerous technological marvels has served to… Continue reading I’m Brian, and the Segway Ruined my Life
This past Saturday, I was wandering about in downtown Philadelphia. I bought tickets for a movie, enjoyed a beer, and then two hours of my life disappeared in a cataclysmic event that I can only attribute to the random, staggering madness of Mr. Terry Gilliam. Upon viewing the trailer for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,… Continue reading Will Someone Please Explain The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus?
I used to like music. Really. I tried to follow all of the newest up-and-coming bands, went to concerts regularly, attempted to stay on top of what music was getting popular.

The MTV masterpiece Jersey Shore premiered this past week and the media is already foutraged (fake-outraged). Have we not seen this shit before?

Some of you may know--and some may not give a shit--that I used to be in a band. It was my band...and I was in full creative control, which led to an inevitable downfall, of course.

Back in March of 2009, President Obama put plans in motion to shift 500 federal agents to the Mexican border, directing $200 Million in military monies to combat the uncontrollable--and arguably unimaginable--amount of violence directly related to drug trafficking. Their primary concern was to keep the metaphorical Mexican sewage from seeping across the fences. On March… Continue reading Greetings from Gangland, Mexico!
Though I'm not a complete pussy, an obnoxiously grandiloquent gay, or a woman...I just don't typically get into most sports.

Race has certainly become a hot-button issue once again.

We all have dreams. Every person has something they aspire to be--or become--at points in their lives. When I was young, I wanted to be an actress.

But… Continue reading Alana Evans asks: So You Wanna Be a Pornstar?
For those of you who may be uncertain, this is indeed a significant time in the relatively brief history of humanity.

It's time for a new… Continue reading The Cult of the Snuggie

Then, these 6 women viciously attacked the… Continue reading The SuperDPS Guide to Karaoke

As long as it's a hot topic, let's discuss the actions of Kanye West during the MTV VMA's, shall we?

It's no secret that the quality of film as a whole has taken a couple dozen blows to the skull. But who wields the bat/board-with-a-nail-in-it?
