It's time for Adam & The Ants

Travel back in time 30 years for the best of Adam Ant.


Although it's admitting to being an old coot, I like these old songs far, far more than anything being recorded today. A line from "Stand and Deliver" sums up my take on most modern music, and why I am amazed there's a piracy problem:

What's the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking?





And last but not least... perhaps the greatest Adam Ant song of all "Puss In Boots." (I probably shouldn't admit this, but several friends and I used to do that little hoppy dance in the video perfectly. :))

It's Tax Dax, so it's time for the Taxman!

Here in the United States it's Tax Day... everyone's Federal income tax return filings are due today. Some of us are paying, but many of us are getting far, FAR more back than we ever paid into the system.

In celebration, here are some songs about The Tax Man.

Here's a cover of The Beatles' "Taxman". It's a song all about what Obama and his supporters would like life to be like for those of us who pay taxes.




Here's a song from Lucky Dube about questions the greedy, self-absorbed cusses in Washington D.C. and state capitols don't want working lower-middle class Americans to ask, for a range of reasons.

I hope he doesn't call for a boycott....

The guy in charge of the Catholic League, Bill Donohue, is upset because Kate Upton appears in a "nun bikini" in the "Three Stooges" remake that's just been released in U.S. movie theaters. Although the very smart lady who is my office assistant and receptionist said she thought that film would be right up my ally, this is a film I have Zero Interest in. And a film that I suspect is at a level of "Love Guru" as far as cinematic atrociousness goes.

I just hope no jackass starts calling for a boycott and thus makes me obligated to go see it for review purposes. (Although if someone DOES see it, let me know if my pre-judgement is incorrect.)

But no matter what I may think of the film, I can still post a couple of stills of Kate Upton in the offending outfit.


Personally, I don't see the problem. Upton's hair is covered, so at least she's not one of those immodest women who will cause earthquakes. The great and wise Imam of Imams Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi can masturbate with a happy heart while enjoying his bootleg copy of "The Tree Stooges."

A great reason to buy Katy Perry's new single

If a supporter of the morons in the Occupy [Insert Random Location Here] Movement is calling for a boycott of Katy Perry's new single, it seems like the perfect reason to BUY it.

Katy Perry: Offending Occupy [Insert Random Location Here] Supporters since 2012

If you are as offended by Naomi Wolf's disdain for free expression, and for those who protect her right to be an obnoxious bitch, I don't recommend you boycott her; only idiots who support "movements" like Occupy [Insert Random Location Here] call for boycotts. Instead, I suggest you buy a copy of Katy Perry's "Part of Me" single.

Get "Part Of Me" from Amazon.com in MP3 format by clicking here.

And watch the horrifyingly offensive video right here at Cinema Steve!








(By the way, I am such a big fan of Katy Perry that I had to a) look up the spelling of her name, and b) correct the title of the song when I first referenced it in a draft of this post--the song is NOT titled "All of Me" like I initially wrote. In other words, I am NOT a fan of Katy Perry, and I wouldn't be giving her coverage and free advertising if some censorship-happy cow hadn't started calling for a boycott. I wonder how it will work out for her?)

Tectonic Tuesday: Simone Farrow

In April of 2010, the Imam of Imams, the man so wise that someday even the Prophet Mohammad (may peas be upon him) will study at his feet, revealed to the world the TRUE cause of earthquakes: "Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes," Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi (known as Slammy to his friends) told worshipers and the Iranian media.

But the world did not heed his warning. Immodest women are still causing the earth to tremble and crack because of their wicked ways. Most recently, Simone Farrow has brought destruction to the hapless people of this planet, so I once again offer tangible proof of Slammy Sedighi's Allah-inspired wisdom and divine message of warning.



Twentieth Case Study: Simone Farrow


Simone Farrow (aka Simone Starr and Mingximengnuo Starr) was the face (and body) of Ed Hardy bikinis during the early 2000s. The company stopped using her in 2006, but in July of that year, the multitude of pictures and videos of her flaunting herself caused a 7.7 earthquake and tsunami near the island of Java that killed some 700 people and injured more than 9,000.

But ending her relationship with the bikini company did not make Farrow any less dangerous. Her near-nakedness remained on display in places like Penthouse Magazine, FHM Magazine, and numerous other places who trade on the twisted ways of immodest women and play with the safety of the world on a regular basis. And as the years went by, Farrow started adding more tattoos to her body, making her not only an immodest women, but an immodest women who violated divine commandments by marking her body! There can be little question that she can be held responsible for the 2008 Sichuan earthquake that killed over 68,000 people in China.

Farrow, however, was a destructive force on another level. As her modeling career faded, she is alleged to have transitioned into the role of drug kingpin, becoming the world's least-clad meth-dealer and shipping drugs mixed with bath salts from her Hollywood home to the far corners of the Earth. In 2009, the DEA moved in to arrest her, and she went on the lam, adding 19 more aliases to her list of names. She has been arrested twice this year in Australia, once in February (after which she promptly skipped bail), and again yesterday.

Farrow's most recent arrest has brought a flood of pictures of her unclothed body back to the internet and in the pages of newspapers. It should come as no surprise that, just as the Imam of Imams warned us, a powerful, prolonged earthquake shook southern Mexico today, Tuesday March 20.

The cost in human life of this latest disaster caused by the immodesty of Simone Farrow has yet to be determined... but it will undoubtedly make the lives ruined by any meth she may or may not have distributed seem insignificant.




When will the world listen to the warnings of Slammy Sedighi?! When with manufactures of weapons of mass destruction like Ed Hardy bikinis and Penthouse Magazine be treated like the threats to all of humanity that they are?! And when will women stop flaunting themselves and endangering all of us on Planet Earth?!
