White Obama? The Smiler?

Christine stumbled across something quite interesting a few minutes ago while sitting in Deweys. I feel it is my responsibility to share my thoughts.

Before I disclose what Christine stumbled across, please review that following picture of the president of The United States of America, Barrack Obama.

Handsome fella isn’t he? Now there was a lot of shenanigans because of the fact that Barrack Obama is a man of color. Yes I agree this is a ridiculous reason not to vote for a potential president but the fact remains that people will not simply because they are racist ass-holes. Not saying that you’re a racist if you didn’t vote for him. But there are lots who are. However, Mr. Obama overcame the odds and is the first (half) black president! Some do wonder for curiosity’s sake, what he would look like like a white dude. So here he is. As a white guy.

THAT is freaky. It doesn’t stop here though folks, no it does not. I’ve figured this one out all by myself… If you’ve read any Transmetropolitan you would know who the notorious president, Gary Callaghan, AKA the Smiler, is. He is a bad guy. Who is at constant battle with the protagonist, Spider Jerusalem.

See the resemblance? This can only mean one thing! Barrack Obama is actually an evil antagonist from a comic book series! I knew it! Pretty soon we will see him modifying the constitution to benefit his own needs. He’ll kill people! You’ll all see…

AHHH! by Swatch

Yesterday night my mom got back from New York, New York after being gone for a week and a half. I usually don’t expect to receive gifts from travelling family members. This is because I don’t typically get gifts and because most of the time they’re pretty lame. This morning, however, I was pleasantly surprised by my ma. She came back with many gifts and all of them were not, in fact, lame at all. She obviously got me a New York shirt which is to be expected. Now this is pretty cool; She also got me some CDs from random rappers selling their CDs on the streets. I played them loudly on the way to the LRT this morning. My favorite gift of all though, was a swatch watch called AHHH! (that is its actual name.)

Why do I like this watch so much? For a number of reasons actually. Firstly, I recently lost my phone and have had no method of telling time whenever I had the desire to do so. Now I can tell time by merely raising my wrist to a height that is somewhat near eye level. How very convenient! Another excellent reason for me enjoying my brand new watch is that it’s very simple. Just the basics. One knob for the adjustment of time and none of this other jibber-jabber that seems to be corrupting the time pieces of today. Most importantly though, is the fact that my watch is comic themed! How cool is that?! It’s very cool. While telling time on my very cool watch, I will also be entertained by entertaining images one usually associates with comics. I also love comics.

I am quite contented with my watch. For specs on it, click here. Only if you truly think that this watch is that cool though. Otherwise I could envision clicking on such a link would only be a waste of time for you.

Lego Robot.

So couple of months ago i was perusing the net and I stumbled upon a little gem of sickly humor known as LegoRobot Comics. LegoRobot has kept me exceptionally amused but sadly enough, it takes whoever’s making them  absolutely forever to come out with new ones. Lo and behold, however, Mr. LegoRobot has recently made another one which I am more than willing to share and I hope that there will be more to come in rapid succession.

House vs. Spider Jerusalem

All right. so I take it that everyone knows who house is. If you don’t I will inform you. He’s a genius jackass and hates everyone and thinks he has the world pegged. He’s a miserable sonuvabitch and is a drug addict. The most badass doctor to hav existed in fiction and real life. The only reason they keep him around is because he’s also the best that there is. He’s also nuts. His banter keeps me ever so entertained too.

Few people know who Spider Jersualem is. Spider Jerusalem is, in some respects, very similar to House. He hates everyone too. Is very good at his job (rogue journalist). Pops drugs as if they’re candy. He has brain damage (not due to drugs) which only makes his insanity more insane. The only reason he worked at his job for so long is because he was damn good at it too. Spider, however, is more extroverted in his hate for the “new scum” as he likes to call it and everyone knows his name. He has cartoons. Spider has exceptional wittiness to his belittling comments and articles as well. 

Now I don’t really want to analyze characters so enough of that. Except one more thing about these two individuals. Both don’t back down and neither will admit defeat. So I was wondering who would win in a fight between these two? Obviously not a physical one because A) Spider Jerusalem has guns (and a bowel disruptor) and 2) House is a cripple. I mean more of a who would win in some kind of awesome ridiculous argument about the nature of society. The only downside to this is they would probably have very similar viewpoints. On the plus side, they’re both insane enough to argue for shits and giggles if their opinions do coincide. Just some food for thought…

I do know how the argument would end though. Regardless of who actually “won”, one of them would end up with shit in his drawers. I’ll give you a hint as to who.. It won’t be Spider.

Note:  Spider Jerusalem is from the series Transmetropolitan
