Get ‘Stoned’ With FUCT
October 22nd, 2008 by Alex
FUCT has dropped a new look at some t-shirts in their Fall/Winter 2008 release. They’re all bright, hand-drawn and definitely grab attention.
One after my own heart is the ‘Stoned’ t-shirt. If you can’t recognize it, take a long look in the mirror.
FUCT’s recipe combines one part Zig Zag man, one part Rolling Stones lips and one part lit joint. Mix that up with some bright colors and a checkered background, and you have yourself one bad ass t-shirt.

Rx Drugs Aren’t All Fun & Games
October 22nd, 2008 by Alex
The Institute for Safe Medication Practices has issued a report about the increasing dangers of reactions to prescription drugs.
In the first three months of 2008, a record number of serious problems and deaths linked to medications has been reported to the government.
The FDA has received reports of around 21,000 serious drug reactions, that number includes over 4,800 deaths. The total of 20,745 cases, from January ‘08 to March ‘08, is a full 38% higher than the same period of 2007. Scary.
Thomas J. Moore, a senior scientist with ISMP, had this to say:
We believe that one of the most important tools to promote is to monitor trends on a regular basis. Knowing which drugs are causing injuries and how many people are being hurt is the raw material we need to fashion sound measures to promote patient safety.
As someone who recently went to a 24 year old girl’s funeral, with evidence of medication as the cause of death, please be careful about what prescriptions you take.
Always let your doctor know what you’re currently taking before something new is prescribed, and if you feel funky, don’t hesitate to head on down to emergency care.
Be safe people.

Death Burger, The Game Is On
October 22nd, 2008 by Alex
I’ve got 6 words for you.
The Double Bacon Hamburger Fatty Melt.
That’s right.
A burger that puts the the Fat Kreme to shame.
A burger that challenges the Luther Burger for artery-clogging superiority.
A burger that would make even hedonism bot proud. I can hear your heart trying to escape through your back from here.
So what goes into the creation I have lovingly dubbed the Death Burger?
- Bacon-stuffed grilled cheese sandwich as bun top
- Cheese
- Bacon
- Four-ounce beef patty
- Bacon-stuffed grilled cheese sandwich as interstitial bun (a nod to the Big Mac)
- Bacon
- Cheeese
- Four-ounce beef patty
- Bacon-stuffed grilled cheese sandwich as bun bottom
Want to know how to make one?
Follow the recipe for The Hamburger Fatty Melt and add bacon everywhere possible. You could also get topping happy, and add some avocados, grilled onions, or even use sourdough instead of white bread (make sure to keep it thin-sliced).

One More Reason to Get Out and Vote
October 22nd, 2008 by Perry
This strays from our scene a bit, and at the risk of getting preachy, I just wanted to throw one more reminder out there of why it counts to vote.
Although some may feel confident about Obama’s 10-point lead, or if you support McCain, and are discouraged, there’s a lot of reason not to be. Polls are often full of shit. Race and enthusiasm have been cited as influential factors which may inflate Obama’s lead, or McCain’s deficit, whichever way you look at it.
There’s the well-documented Bradley effect and the Buchanan effect and other reasons to believe that the election is still up in the air, other than the polls’ margin of error. We all know sometimes it feels like a coin flip between a douche and a turd sandwich, but get out there and vote. Doesn’t matter who, just vote.
Miss Louisiana Teen USA Arrested for Being Dumb
October 22nd, 2008 by Alex
Oh the ole’ dine & dash routine. Miss Louisiana Teen USA Lindsey Evans, for all of her good looks, has no future as a master criminal.
The cajun beauty queen left her purse, weed bag (in the purse) and a $46 bill behind when she and her friends ditched out on a meal. Evans, to her credit, left her portion of the check on the table, but foiled the getaway for her friends when she went back to the restaurant for her purse and the police were still there. D’oh!
A crucial step in the ‘dash’ part is to actually take your personal belongings along. Cops can be slow, but with your ID they might just be able to make a collar.
It doesn’t matter much if she loses her crown, as the next Miss Louisiana will be chosen next month anyway…

Marijuana MySpace Themes = Vomitacious
October 22nd, 2008 by Alex
Stoner web design isn’t exactly the peak of visual ingenuity on the internet. Take a look at most websites dedicated to weed and you’ll see rotating pot leafs, green on black themes, unreadable text and nasty page layouts.
When we designed this site, there was a very specific goal of resembling none of that bullshit. Unfortunately for the kids out there, MySpace themes don’t seem to be catching up.
While doing a halloween-themed Google image search, the eye-gouging monstrosity above got dumped onto my screen. I followed the image and got presented with the worst MySpace themes on the planet.
The site is called ‘CoolChaser’ and the only thing people with those themes should chase is a smack to the face. I can’t imagine voluntarily making a MySpace page look like this, but if anyone has seen one, post a link in the comments.
If this doesn’t make you jump from MySpace to Facebook, nothing will.
Two more screencaps after the jump, if you can’t stomach going to CoolChaser and looking yourself (which I can’t blame you for.)
Giuliani Just One More Bitter Republican Douche
October 21st, 2008 by PerryLaunching an unprovoked attack on the New York Times, former governer Rudy Giuliani brought up Obama’s past drug use as an example of the liberal bias that goes on against Republic targets. His frustration was in response to an investigative piece by the Times which delved into Cindy McCain’s past addiction to painkillers.
His specific quote, which he later retracted was:
You can’t even — you can’t even raise these issues. And, you know, God forbid somebody would do some reporting on Barack Obama’s use of drugs. I guess that was the point that Mrs. McCain’s lawyer made.
Giuliani on Fox News, douche via teleconference:
A few out of many reasons why Guiliani is an idiot:
- Obama admitted his drug use in a book he wrote a couple years ago, so it’s not news.
- The main reason why McCain is viewed in a different light is because where Obama calls for compassion and treatment, McCain calls drug users criminals, and thinks we should push for convictions.
Maybe if McCain weren’t such a staunch, holier-than-thou personality on drug policy, people wouldn’t care if his wife did or didn’t pop pills. It makes sense.
