So I’m sure many of you are in full support of the anti-SOPA blackouts, which we are of course, but at the very same time are trying to figure out some small detail about the key grip’s cousin from Terminator 2. You’ll need a site like Wikipedia to figure out this bullshit. So here’s a very simple way around the blackout! More after the jump »
If you don’t know by now, get the hell out from under that rock. SOPA and PIPA are a threat to the internet and therefore our way of life. In protest of these acts, many websites have shut themselves down or posted information on the acts in order to promote awareness of what would happen should these bills be passed:
In essence, these bills are trying to stop pirating of copyrighted material, which is all good. If you work hard on something and someone is stealing it from you, it sucks. You should kick that person’s ass! But the problem is that these bills are so vague that they limit your liberties as a citizen. Your favorite sites, images, videos, etc. could be stripped from the internet without due process. User submitted content will become censored, boring, and uncreative. There needs to be better legislation for this type of shit.
Now, please take a moment to contact your state representative about these ridiculous bills. Fight the good fight!
Who doesn’t like a punch in the face? Okay, few people like receiving a punch in the face, but it’s always great to watch it.
Recently, one of our many drunken, stupid, insane friends, Tony P, decided he wanted to get punched in the face. But not some sissy shot. A legit crack to the jaw. Luckily, there are plenty of other friends willing to provide such a service.
Our good friend and former guest host, Jason Stackhouse posted this clip early this morning after a long night of boozing with Tony P. He got him drunk enough to give up this gem of a clip for our viewing pleasure… More after the jump »
This just in… Taylor Swift’s TaTas.! Well maybe…
Another website has claimed they have a picture of the country music superstar topless and laying on a bed. That specific site is not very reputable and as far as we know not very well known. So why would we believe them? Well we wouldn’t, but we do believe Taylor’s rep has contacted the site and demanding the picture be taken down.
Now, were pretty sure there are tons of fake pictures of Taylor naked all over the web. So why pick on this one? Well that’s what makes us suspicious. So we will leave the real or not real debate to all of you. Picture after the jump!
I would never steer you away from our site but this news should come from the link below…

Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz just announced that his show will be returning to television. A limited season will catch us up on what’s been happening with the family and will lead us right into the movie we have all been waiting for. No specifics have been put out yet about when the season will hit the airwaves. We will keep you posted.
I just witnessed a commercial for Slim Jims new “Dare” sticks. While funny I thought I could improve upon the humor by being a bit more literal. The new slogan, as the article title has spoiled, is: “Made from Stuff Guys Need”. The website goes on to say “Like meat and fire”. “Like Meat” is the key word, and I’ve decide to share with all of you what exactly your ingesting. Let me preamble by stating I am an on again off again pescatarian so I very rarely eat things like slim jims, but I won’t deny that I ever have. So here’s the facts: (Stolen and commented on by me from a Wired article ((not written by me)) because in all honesty I didn’t feel like paraphrasing and I’m too poor to care if anyone sues me.)
Beef
It’s real meat, all right. But it ain’t Kobe. The US Department of Agriculture categorizes beef into eight grades of quality. The bottom three—utility, cutter, and canner—are typically used in processed foods and come from older steers with partially ossified vertebrae, tougher tissue, and generally less reason to live. <Hof Comment: That is fucking gross> ConAgra wasn’t exactly forthcoming on what’s inside Slim Jim.Mechanically separated chicken
Did you imagine a conveyor belt carrying live chickens into a giant machine, set to the classic cartoon theme “Powerhouse”? You’re right! Well, maybe not about the music. Poultry scraps are pressed mechanically through a sieve that extrudes the meat as a bright pink paste and leaves the bones behind (most of the time). <Hof Comment: Who the hell doesn’t like chicken paste? Matter of fact why aren’t they releasing it in tubes and calling slim chicks?>Corn and wheat proteins
Slim Jim is made by ConAgra, and if there are two things ConAgra has a lot of, it’s corn and wheat.Lactic acid starter culture
Although ConAgra refers to Slim Jim as a meat stick (yum), it has a lot in common with old-fashioned fermented sausages like salami and pepperoni. They all use bacteria and sugar to produce lactic acid, which lowers the pH of the sausage to around 5.0, firming up the meat and hopefully killing all harmful bacteria.Dextrose
Serves as food for the lactic acid starter culture. <Hof Comment: Boring stuff>Salt
Salt binds the water molecules in meat, leaving little H2O available for microbial activity—and thereby preventing spoilage. One Slim Jim gives you more than one-sixth of the sodium your body needs in a day.Sodium nitrite
Cosmetically, this is added to sausage because it combines with myoglobin in animal muscle to keep it from turning gray. Antibiotically, it inhibits botulism. Toxicologically, 6 grams of the stuff—roughly the equivalent of 1,400 Slim Jims—can kill you. <Hof Comment: You would die long before your 1400th slim Jim, if only because the Your Fucking Stupid Fairy came to your house and beat you to death using pillow case of healthy food>Hydrolyzed soy
Hydrolysis, in this instance, breaks larger soy protein molecules into their constituent amino acids, such as glutamic acid. Typically, the process also results in glutamic acid salt—also known as monosodium glutamate, a familiar flavor enhancer.
So apparently what guys need is chemicals, salt, low grade shitty meat, and chicken paste. I’m reminded of a poem from childhood.
What are little boys made of?
What are little boys made of?
Frogs and snails
And puppy-dogs’ tails,
That’s what little boys are made of.
What are little girls made of?
What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice
And everything nice,
That’s what little girls are made of.
Now my Twist
What are Slim Jims Made of?
What are Slim Jims Made of?
Chemicals and Paste,
And Meat with no Taste
That what slim Jim are made of.
Well at least they left out the puppy dog tails, snails, and frogs…
BTW: Slim Jim was invented in Philadelphia in the early 1900s by a guy named Adolph. Further proof it only takes one fuehrer to ruin a perfectly nice German name and the Charlie Chaplin mustache.
Another celebrity has become the victim of cell phone hacking. Scarlett Johansson. And she’s not taking it lying down. Well except in the one picture. In the other, she is standing in front of the mirror showing off an impressive backside.
In the interest of jounalism, the team at Social Interruption took to the net and did about 3 minutes worth of research on the alleged pictures of Ms Johansson. Conclusion: We need a cold shower and we now hate Ryan Reynolds. Lucky bastard. More after the jump »
Last week, while sitting down with the fine folks from Talkadelphia (listen to our super awesome “interview” with them), we did some behind the scenes chatting about how they got their theme song. They were kind enough to point us in the direction of The Wiggly Tendrils, an amazingly talented group of song writers.
The next day, I sat down and ran through their blog of custom, fan requested songs and was blown away. You see, The Wiggly Tendrils will write a song for you for free! A song about anything. A birthday, a loved one, your pet cat, the Legion of Doom, or a new belt buckle. See! ANYTHING!
We could not pass up this amazing opportunity to have our very own custom theme song. So we contact The Wiggly Tendrils saying we wanted something “amped” up for our podcast introduction and they were prompt to respond.
Drawing from other “amped” inspiring songs (Beastie Boys, Self, Pixies), The Wiggle Tendrils produced a theme song that definitely was not what I initially expected. In fact, it was so much better than what we expected. I mean, we were getting a free song. Free things are rarely amazing. This is definitely one of those rare things.
So without further hype, I present to you our new theme song!

I am hiring DMX as my financial adviser.
Over the past ten years, it has been quite obvious that the prices of gasoline around the globe continue to rise, driving up the cost of almost everything else in the market. People are having trouble keeping up with their monthly bills or putting food on the table. Take note of the price of gasoline over the past two decades:
In March of 1991, the average price of 1 gallon or regular unleaded gasoline was $1.08. August 2001, $1.43. A difference of 35 cents over ten years. May 2011, $3.93. That’s $2.50 cents higher than just ten years prior!
But somehow, despite these tremendous changes in the cost of living in America, talk remains insanely cheap. And it seems to be getting even cheaper! In 1982, the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X cost $3995, allowed for one hour of talk time, and could store only 30 numbers!
Spring forward to 2011 (where technology is, for a lack of better words, fucking sick!), and you’ll have cell phones that should more accurately be called computers. HD video, 4G internet, unlimited data, texting, calling. Carrying your entire music collection, thousands of photos, and all the apps you’ll ever need while flying to visit your family on the other side of the country. And it will cost you under $200 in most cases, with monthly plans under $100.
So what does this tell me? This tells me that DMX is a brilliant man that was way ahead of his time. Don’t believe me? Listen to the last few seconds of his hit single, Ruff Ryder’s Anthem, off of 1998′s It’s Dark And Hell Is Hot:
That’s right. Talk is cheap, mother fucker! If we had all paid attention to these lyrics years ago and invested wisely, I’m sure many of us would be doing better off today.
