Break Your Spirit Airlines is THE WORST! Like the Black Licorice of the Skies
I hate Spirit Airlines with the intensity of 1,000 African suns at high noon! You should know by now that Spirit Airlines is my archnemesis because they make Soul Plane look like Virgin Atlantic and I never let an opportunity to roast them to pieces pass me by. It’s in my Life …
Whose Regretful Tattoo Is This?
People are idiots far too often. The person whose tattoo is below is a dummy. Not because they cannot spell, but because they didn’t think to double-check the spelling of their tattoo KNOWING they’re correct spelling-deficient. “NO REGERTS.” Oh ok, sir. Between the tattoo artist who put this ink on …
So I Watched Lifetime’s Unauthorized Saved By the Bell Story
I was 5 in 1990 when Saved by the Bell got its start and I haven’t seen too many behind-the-scenes specials on it. I’ve watched (and continue to watch) reruns of SBTB throughout the years and like many 80s kids, I’m a huge fan of the kids of Bayside High. …

Kaboom Makes a Blue Ivy Hair Joke and Everyone Lets Her Have It
On Monday’s edition of 106 & Park, Karrueche Tran, Chris Brown’s (maybe he feels like it today) girlfriend of far too long (remember when he dumped her for Rihanna? Well, the 1st time) made a joke about Blue Ivy’s hair. Basically on some “my parents don’t comb my hair” cheapness. No …
So I Watched the 2014 Emmy Awards Last Night: Recap
All the award shows are starting earlier this year. Sheesh! Last year, the Primetime Emmy Awards happened on September 22. What’s all this rush for? Ennehweighs, this year’s show was hosted by Seth Meyers and he killed (in a good way). His opening monologue was actually hilarious, and that is …
