The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good- Square Enix is REMAKING Final Fantasy IV for the DS, completely redone with 3D graphics. as loved as the newer FF's were, the ones closes to my heart were the 2D SNES classics FFIV and FFVI. to me, this is bigger than a new star wars trilogy and 4th indiana jones all rolled into one. i WILL buy a nintendo DS for this.

The Bad - Carlos Mencia is back, with a new stand-up special and a new season of Mind of Mencia. mencia's a good example of comedians who are called "fearless," when it's really just a code word for "offensive."
He acts like he walks the fine line good taste to perform great comedy and, at the same time, deliver some poignant truth about society.
In reality, he uses his ethnicity as a "free racism pass" to travel freely into "offensive douchebag land" in order to perform embarrassingly lame, predictable "jokes" and, at the same time, deliver ass-backward justifications as to why he's awesome for making fun of retarded people and middle easterns.

The Ugly - Contestants race to eat pig vaginas to win a shot at love with Tila Tequila. Elsewhere, the universe weeps.

Hey Ace! Manong gave me his old DS so you don't have to buy one. You can use mine! =)

-And dude...Mencia.. Word. Ugh.

-And yea... Tila... Whenever I watch that with people, everyone seems so full of shame.

yeah mencia really irritates me too. i never get it when people use the race card as a free pass to assness.

and that episode of tila REALLY grossed me out...i can almost taste pig vagina in my mouth and i think i'm gonna go puke now.
