Turns out, Hogan does not know BEST!

As it often turns out the entire Hogan family are narcissistic assholes of the worst kind, here is the low down from World Entertainment News Network: Wrestling star Hulk Hogan and his family have been chastised by the parents of the teenager left critically injured by their son Nick's 2007 car crash.

Nick Bollea, 17, is currently serving an eight-month prison sentence at Florida's Pinellas County Jail, after pleading no contest to felony reckless driving following a horrific car crash in Clearwater, Florida, which has left his friend John Graziano brain damaged.

But Graziano's parents Ed and Debra are furious at the teenager's lack of remorse, after hearing Nick discuss plans to win an early release from jail in taped telephone conversations that were leaked online over the weekend.

On the tapes, obtained by website TMZ.com, Bollea can be heard telling his dad that he wants to turn up for a court hearing "in my jumpsuit, for the sympathetic factor."

A statement released by the Grazianos via their lawyers reads: "These tapes clearly show what the Bolleas said in court was calculated to give the Court the impression that Nick deserved a break. It was a true Academy Award performance. They (the Bollea family) spoke of their love for John and they expressed how sorry they were, but their true feelings have now been revealed in the tapes..."

The Grazianos also blast the Bolleas for trying to cash in on their grief, by turning Nick's prison stint into a money-spinning reality TV show.

They add: "Nick Bollea and Terry Bollea are already planning a new reality show. Cameras are set to film Nick Bollea as he is released from jail and while he serves his probation."

Ed Graziano goes on to say: "The reason he (Nick) was put in jail is to think about what he did to my son. (But) that's the last thought on his mind."

Of movies and life

Going to the movies these day can often require a second mortgage, what with the cost of gas, snacks and the movie itself. So when a movie worth seeing comes along it's important news.

If you haven't seen Iron Man yet, do yourself a favor and go see it, it's a fun film! Reasonably good story, good action, and for films adapted from comic books, this is one of the better ones.

Related sad news, director Sydney Pollack has passed at the age of 73. Some very good films came from his creative mind, he will be missed.

The World is falling apart

I heard a story on NPR a few days ago about a cafe near the Arizona, Utah border called the "Merry Wives Cafe." The cafe has pictures hanging on the walls of Polygamist families.

Wikipedia defines Polygamy as: (a Greek word meaning "the practice of multiple marriage") is used in related ways in social anthropology, sociobiology, and sociology. Polygamy can be defined as any "form of marriage in which a person [has] more than one spouse."

The cafe is patronized by local polygamists families and curiosity seekers, "We're not trying to shove [polygamy] in people's faces," says manager Cherise Dutson. "But, this is how we live, and it's our heritage." (my response: "That doesn't make it right!")

(here is my analogy, if history in this country is to have slaves and I put pictures of slave owners and their slaves on the walls of my cafe, people would think I was a dickhead)

My understanding is that the practice is illegal in the United States, however wikipedia says: Most western countries do not recognize polygamous marriages, and consider bigamy a crime. Several countries also prohibit people living a polygamous lifestyle. In some States of the United States, the criminalization of a polygamous lifestyle originated as anti-Mormon laws, although they are rarely enforced.

Given all the facts presented I would tend to think that having a Cafe that to some extent promoted the practice of Polygamy would be, how should we say, "not so good." Considering everything that went down in Texas with the FLDS church, maybe people [the cafe] shouldn't suggest to it's patrons that this kind of thing is acceptable? [the polygamist lifestyle]

We live in strange times.

I want to . . .

have sex with Tyra Banks.

There I said it. It's out there, and now I can't take it back. I know it is never going to happen, but a man can dream, right?

I'm not sure what it is about some woman, they just exude sex. Either they have a figure that would be well suited to such activities or somehow they just seem to move a certain way or do something that makes feel funny in my "special places."

I can't imagine what it would be like to have dinner or a conversation with Tyra Banks, I mean after all what would you talk about? Tyra seems very driven with her talk show, America's Next Top Model, and whatever else she does, I don't guess she has much free time.

I wonder what would happen if I just called her up to see if she would join me for a burger?
