People And Their Pets

Yesterday, I had been dragged to go to the post office because my girlfriend is too lazy to walk I'm such a gentleman. While walking there, I had noticed a woman who was walking her dog. Seems normal, right? Well, it wasn't. Apparently, Halloween came early for them and that dog got hit with the brunt of it. Seriously, this dog had the works. A pink tutu, laced shoes, a collar with a giant ribbon. It was freaking adorable. I could only imagine what dogs that have to go through this kind of torture would say, if they spoke English.

Kill me.
Some people go all out with their pets. It's fine if you dress them up for Halloween or Christmas because that's for one day. It's cute to some people. But some people take it to an insane extreme. Literally, spending hundreds of dollars on clothes for their pet. Take a look at this fancy apparel site for dogs

It's not just dogs either. No pet is safe.

Toilet paper hamster ghosts!

I don't get why anyone would want to dress their pets up every day. It seems pretty dumb. Sure, like I said before, some holidays, but every day. It's torture.

How would you like it if someone forced you to dress in ridiculous outfits every day. Like you're a toy.

Just leave your pets alone. They weren't meant to wear turtle necks or sandals or baggy jeans.

That's it for today though. Serious brain farting I have today.

Until next time.

Top 5 Anime Finishing Moves

Alright, so before any of you anime nerds get on my case about not including certain anime in this list, just to let you know, I don't care. You can whine about how Naruto or Bleach isn't apart of my list, but let's face reality. Those shows sucked. From Naruto with his constant barrage of "BELIEVE IT, REMEMBER IT"'s in the english dub to Bleach just being boring as balls (Aizen is like Naraku from Inuyasha. The guy is just stupidly impossible to beat and the series isn't interesting enough to care about any of it.) I've compiled a small list of finishing moves I think are pretty cool. Sure, there maybe some that you might think are better, but this is my blog. It's my opinion. Feel free to comment with your opinions at the bottom of the page. Here is the list of awesome finishing moves that I have compiled for you to watch and enjoy (Or to cry and be mad about.):

5. Sword Of The Stranger - The Final Fight


I chose this one because it is a personal favorite of a friend of mine. It's also a pretty cool ending to a fight. The fight before it is considered one of the best in anime history. This is from the anime movie called Sword of the Stranger. It's about a young boy named Kotaru, who's being hunted by some group called The Ming. They end up meeting a wandering ronin named Nanashi (Which means nameless), they end up joining forces and a bunch of cool shit happens during the movie. When you get the chance, check out the flick. It's pretty sweet.

4. Dragon Ball Z - Goku vs Vegeta Beam Struggle


OK, while this isn't technically the end of the fight, this pretty much brings the fight to a close. Back when Dragon Ball Z played these older episodes on regular cable TV, I was always excited when the show came on. This was one of my favorite fights in the entire series. One reason why, was because this was before Goku became all powerful and actually had a hard time fighting his opponents. You can see him struggling to push himself to win with this clip. No holding back his "true power", no random new super saiyan form, it's him desperate to win in this fight to save the planet. The best part is, he barely does. It's lame when a fight seems too easy and this portrays a great fight and a great finish to a seemingly impossible to win scenario.

3. One Piece - Luffy finishes Crocodile


You know, this list was pretty damn tough. I feel that some of these equal out in badassery. Also, the fact that I had to make a Top 5 list. Anyways, One Piece is full of bad ass finishes. I would consider it to be the next Dragon Ball. This is the finish (After thinking long and hard) is probably Luffy's best. Luffy faces off against Crocodile and shoots himself in the air to pummel him into bed rock with a bagillion punches. Anton Dvorak's music adds an extra awesome touch to this finish. The best part of this fight was, Crocodile had no idea who the hell Luffy was.

2. Gurren Lagann - Kamina's Giga Drill Breaker


Ah, Gurren Lagann. If you haven't seen this, I suggest you do. This series was terrific and the movie for it was great too. Giga Drill Breaker had the same effect that Kamehameha had on me. It just makes you repeat it to yourself all the time. This clip is when my favorite character in the series, Kamina, pulls off the first Giga Drill Breaker in the entire series. It's one of those shit-your-pants moments because he pulls out this huge drill and rams it into the other robot. Makes me wish I had a big drill to use like that.

Finally, we get to the last one. What did I choose? Do you know? Maybe. It's great though. I love the fights in this show and the finishing moves in this series are freaking incredible. Also, it's a show about boxing. Here it is.


1. Hajime No Ippo - Takamura Vs Hawk


Some of these videos are bad quality and I apologize. But it's enough to see the awesomeness of this end of a very awesome fight. If you have the time, check out the entire fight and what leads up to this point. Takamura squares off with Brian Hawk, an American who's portrayed as a huge piece of shit, but is a boxer with unbelievable natural talent. It seems like Takamura is going to lose, until he is beaten until he's unconscious and is able to release his animal instincts in the fight. Hawk then becomes a punching bag for pretty much a large portion of the fight. Hawk realizes what happened and how Takamura managed to beat him down and tries to do it himself. He ends up ultimately failing and being drilled into the mat by Takamura's final punch. It's great.

Well, here's my list of awesome anime finishers. I hope you enjoyed the read. Feel free to comment below. Do you agree? Disagree? Let us know.

Until next time.

Pregnant Women Shouldn't Model And Other Stuff

Alright, this article might piss a couple of people off. Hell, they can get mad all they want. You're reading a blog filled with my opinions. I don't care. Get the fuck out, if you don't like it. Otherwise, some of the pictures in this blog might skeeve you out. They did a good job doing that to me. But enjoy the article:

Alright, this is something that's always disturbed me. Being a model is completely fine. If you have the look and the physique, go for it! You pretty much get paid to just stand around and look at things while people take pictures of you to use for advertisements, whatever. Some people model themselves for fun. Some people do it for attention like the huge portion of users on Facebook. Even some that shouldn't be showcasing themselves try hard to look good and strike a pose.

Depicted: 99% of Facebook's female users have at least one of these types of pictures

But that's Facebook. I want to get more into detail with actual modeling. One of the big things that freaks me out about modeling (Besides when really obvious hideous girls try to model), is when women think it's OK to model while pregnant. Before I pour the haterade all over this article, I want to go over some of the positive effects that pregnant modeling provides.

When women become pregnant, I can only imagine how they feel (Besides the ridiculous mood swings and weird appetites) when they are 7 months into the process and they have this huge baby-loaded gut that they have to lug around. 

Holy shit, this baby is a heavy asshole!

I'm sure they feel incredibly insecure with their appearance. Many women are usually very sensitive about how they look. Being pregnant will kick this up a 1000 times more than usual. So, modeling while being pregnant shows confidence in the model and also gives confidence to other soon-to-be mothers. That's great! Women can get the courage to not be afraid of their appearance and that'll help them be less stressed. It's empowering.

Having said that, here's what I think:

It's fucking awkward and gross.

I get it. Self-esteem, empowerment, whatever. As much as some people might appreciate you showing the world that you don't give a shit that you look like a beluga fucking whale, I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT. I'm sure tons of other people think so too. They just won't say it.

What the fuck? Cut it out.

It's really awkward to see pregnant women modeling. No one wants to see that you have a huge baby gut. No one cares that your husband is supporting you and posing with you. He fucking has to. He's the one that loaded you up with baby batter to make that thing that's making you look like a blimp.(Unless, he's a deadbeat.)

I mean, take a look at that picture I put up. Do you want to look at that? No. You get a "Oh boy.... Yeah, she's pregnant, wow." vibe from that picture. My opinion, pregnant women shouldn't model. I get why it would be good for them to model, but they shouldn't. It's awkward.

There should be a set of general guidelines that pregnant women should follow. I'd have a few good ideas for it too. Besides not modeling, I don't give a fuck how insecure you are and how badly you want to fit into the small shirt you use to wear before you got knocked up, get the XL T-shirt and deal with it. No one wants to see that impending baby volcano bobbing around in public.

What's up guys? This baby is about to blow!

But back to modeling, maybe not modeling at all is too harsh. They can model, but wear a shirt to cover the belly? That's something that should be covered just because it's weird. How would you feel if they began having women model their menstrual cycle? Get a nice good shot of that people Kool-Aid shotgun-blasting out from between their legs? Or how about someone with elephantiasis balls striking a pose because you know, they want to be confident with their mammoth sized testicles.

Simply divine! Show the world that you are proud of newly grown anchor that have become your balls.

Yeah, think about that? Would you be cool seeing a catalog filled with a bunch of people with elephantiasis posing in bikinis or in the nude with their spouse? No? Why? Wow, you're an inconsiderate asshole. Don't you know what those people go through? It's tough to look like that. They're brave to show themselves and not care about what other people think.

That's pretty much what you'd expect if you said the same thing concerning pregnant models. Oh, it's different? How the hell is it different? These are people showing off parts of them that make them feel inferior and telling the world that they're beautiful in their own way. Sure! Let them think they're beautiful. They should take all that beauty and keep it to themselves and don't go around modeling it.

Again, child birth and the process is a beautiful thing. I respect the idea of why pregnant women model. But for fuck's sake, do us all a favor and cover up. Pregnancy is temporary anyways. It's not a permanent ordeal that you have to live with for the rest of your life like elephantiasis. Chill the hell out. 9 months will fly by and you'll be back to making generic Facebook profile poses in no time.

So, until next time! Let the haters hate now.

Ridiculous Products And Their Infomercials

Late at night, cable TV is usually dominated by something called Infomercials. Infomercials are pretty much short films or long commercials that advertise a product or service. They usually play them on late night TV or early morning because I believe that's when air time gets cheap. That's why when you decide to watch TV really late in the night, you'll get to watch infomercials for things such as Girls Gone Wild!™ or the Bowflex™ that last for hours. Infomercials have been proven to work very well. I mean just look at shit like Snuggies™ or Slap-Chop™ or Sham-wow™.

You're going to love slapping your nuts with the Slap-Chop™

Most of the products on infomercials are pretty stupid. But some products that companies try to sell, seem to test our intelligence. Basically, if we're dumb enough to buy the shit they're selling. There's tons of dumb things sold with infomercials, but some products take the cake for over-the-top ridiculous. I've decided to rack up a couple and show them to you. Here they are..

The Shake Weight™

She's probably use to this motion.

Pretty much a product sold due to the obvious sexual innuendo, The Shake Weight™ became a huge success due to the ridiculous commercials and infomercials that supported this product. Does it actually work? Probably not. But clearly, the strategy to selling this thing was ridiculous. So ridiculous that I bought my father one for a gift. Yeah, they have them for men also. They're big and black. Take a look at this:


Do you believe that those guys got jacked from jerking that Shake Weight™? Obviously, Yes.

Next on my list...

Kush™


I know I couldn't think of a clever tag line for that picture. I don't know what the hell to say! The Kush™ is a ridiculously stupid product. Along with many cleavage shots, this product's commercials show off the ability this product has that helps cushion your boobs when you're sleeping. Pillows to stuff in between those tig ol' bitties just in case they fall on each other and hurt or something.... I don't fucking know. But hey, I'm a guy. I don't have boobs. Maybe, it hurts to sleep with boobs that are really big. I don't know. I think it would be more uncomfortable to actually sleep with this awkward tube wedged between your chest.


Not only does it seem pretty useless, but shit, this thing is expensive. Also, who the hell sleeps with a corset on? Whatever, this was a dumb idea.

Next!

Aspray™

That's a hell of an odor.

Well, good thing we got Aspray™! What the hell is this product, you must be thinking to yourself? Do you know someone who has a smelly ass or a smell ball sack? Well, you can help them with this. Who needs showers, when you have Aspray™ to hose down your smelly dong, so you can continue going through your day. I can't believe someone decided this was a good idea for a product and even more, someone decided to try to promote it. To be honest, I never heard of it until today, so I'm pretty sure that people decided to stick with having stinky fucking body orifices... Or they decided to just take showers. Here's the ad for it..


Unbelievable! And for $14.99?! What a freaking steal!

On to another ridiculous product...

UroClub™

Oh boy! A piss filled golf club!

This is a HORRIBLE idea for a product. I wonder how the idea for this came up. Basically, this is a golf club that's sole purpose is to let you piss in it, instead of running to some tree during that intense golf game you're playing because you know, golf is pretty intense.

Serious fucking business.

But yeah, this idea sucks. I mean, what happens if you're going for a swing and the lid for this thing opens and all that piss goes all over you and everyone else? Wouldn't it feel weird to walk around with a piss filled golf club? Maybe, you could use that to your advantage though. If you're losing big time, splash your secret weapon, golf club full of your own piss, into your opponent's face. Bet he won't ever forget that and here's the ridiculous golf club's commercial.


And finally...

The Tiddy Bear™

This bear is coping a feel like it's his job... And it is.

The Tiddy Bear™ (another sexual reference) is pretty much a teddy bear that makes seat belts straps comfortable. I think that the people that put out these commercials try to think of the most ridiculous things just to see if people will buy them and to laugh if and when it becomes popular. These things have got to be a joke. Here's the commercial for this thing too.


Ending the article, the saddest part about these ridiculous commercials and these stupid products is that the advertising works.. People love and buy this stuff. Granted, it's hilarious to see commercials like this (and it could be what they marketers were going for), but there are people who would automatically be sold after seeing the first commercial for one of these products. Take a look at HD Sunglasses.

Because life just isn't HD enough!

This was a popular thing for a while. Most likely, because the advertising and the product itself took advantage of elderly people. In fact, sad to say, but if you want to sell something to someone, elderly people are the best targets. You can package shit in a box and pitch it to them as the biggest thing and they'll get right in. Also, they can be easily pressured into buying things. It's true and I've seen it done.

But that's all for today. Until next time!
