I can see civilization collapsing around me...

Exhibit A: Homies World. These are sold in rest-stop vending machines, and apparently are quite the collectible, depending on who you ask. You too can collect them all including 'Baby Mama', 'Bouncy' (at least they don't beat about the bush as to why she has that nickname), 'Conejo' (the ugly, horny guy who talks to rabbits), the Native American girl who has visions, the girl that sleeps around ("[P]erhaps you've been with Lola too?"), the sleazy ladies' man ("He says all the things you don't..."

The weirdest thing is that these characters are in amongst generally admirable sorts like the aspiring public defender, the teenage reformed criminal in a Christian-based vocational program, the radical college activist, or "homie" bios espousing the dangers of the 'tru gangsta life'.

Now, maybe I'm just pre-maturely middle-aged, but seriously, does noone see something wrong with their kids collecting tiny plastic gang-bangers and pimps? Also, what's up with the Soulja Boy Phenomenon? (MIT's analysis here). I mean, it's hilarious when a bunch of MIT students (and Richard Stallman) dance the Soulja Boy. But when he gets nominated for best male artist for Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards? I'm not sure an artist/song suggesting that one should "superman that hoe" is appropriate for an awards show aimed at the 'tween/teen demographic.

Now, I'm sure that this has been said many times before about other things, but I can't see anything good coming from modern youth's obsession with 'gangsta' or 'thug' culture. Except the film 'Idiocracy'.

Does he get paid in like, pencil shavings or something?

Why else do they keep letting Uwe Boll make movies? He's poison to anything he touches.

Similarly, why the hell did they make a sequel to BloodRayne? It was a terrible movie based on a mediocre video game!
