I Love Bacon

I often visit ilovebacon.com I enjoy the humorous photos from around the world like these...it's how I get my culture AND my chuckles at the same time.

Tough Economic Times

I swear to all that is sweet and holy in the universe that every time I hear the phrase "tough economic times" I am going to scream.

If you hear lots of screaming, I'm probably watching news on television.

Thoughts on the Octomom...

We all know what she looks like, so no need for a picture...I wanted to roll some thoughts out there on her new offers.

If you missed it, TMZ.com discovered an offer from Vivid Entertainment to Nadya Suleman....$1 Million to star in a hard core porn film...plus, medical & dental for her whole family if she becomes a "contract girl"

Later in the day, a competing Adult company, Pink Visual, offered her a year's worth of diapers (8 kids worth) if she turns down the Vivid offer.

So that set my mind to whirring...should she take the money? It would allow her to buy a new house...and give proper medical care to her kids. There is the argument that people look down on porn actors...I don't know that people will look down on her any more than they already do

She supposedly hasn't had actual sex in eight years...and all the new kids are super tiny, so I have no idea if we'd be dealing with something normal looking 'down there' or if we're talking about throwing a hot dog down a hallway.

Is Vivid planning to have it be an Octo-porn? A gang-bang with eight guys? Plus, do you know anyone who'd watch, let alone buy a porn with the octomom in it?

I think the bottom line is she's completely insane...so it doesn't matter at this point what she does. Now I'm going to say something I never thought I'd say and mean it: WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN? WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN? Seriously, 14 kids with virtually no chance of leading normal lives...take them away...have her put in a padded room and make the fertility doctor who implanted 8 embryos in a single woman with no job and 6 other kids at home pay for the whole thing.

Renaming The Mountain

Let me just put this out there, I'm not in favor of renaming things that have been know by other names for years. For instance, in 1987 in Montreal they renamed Dorchester Blvd."Rene Levesque Blvd." confusing anyone who had an old map. That sort of thing happens in lots of places...normally it's for some politician who got their local area a bunch of federal money... I don't like it...it costs money, confuses people and has no point.

That being said...I'm all in favor of this renaming:

LOS ANGELES - County leaders on Tuesday approved a resolution asking a federal agency to rename Negrohead Mountain near Malibu in honor of a black pioneer who settled in the area in the 19th century.

The peak would be known as Ballard Mountain, after John Ballard, if the U.S. Geological Survey's Board on Geographic Names grants the request by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.

I'm not sure if the mountain was already sort of named for John Ballard...but yeah...change it...and the worst part is they already changed it TO "Negrohead" because the old name, well...

The name of the mountain, at 2,031 feet the tallest in the area, originally contained a racial slur that even was found on early government topographic maps. It was changed to "negro" in the 1960s.

So to sum up...leave street names alone, change the name of this mountain...and WTF were these people thinking?

Ben Stiller at Oscars

I have to be honest, I didn't watch the Oscars...I don't really care about them at all. I know that is kind of odd for someone like me, but so be it. Besides, if anything good happens, you can catch up with it later, like this from Ben Stiller:



If you don't know why this is funny...search out the clip of Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman last week...then it will all make sense

Adam Carolla Continues

So last week (on my birthday, no less) I found out my favorite radio show 'The Adam Carolla Show" was being cancelled by KLSX in LA...thus, the show was ending.

I'm happy to report that Adam has begun podcasting and the first one is out CLICK HERE to go to listen/download it for yourself. I know it made me feel better. It's just Adam for now, no clever drops, no Teresa...but still very satisfying.

So thanks to Adam and go check it out. Picture is a screen grab from Adam's move 'The Hammer'

UPDATE: The podcasts are now available on iTunes...so even easier to get daily...just search for THE ADAM CAROLLA PODCAST it's the one marked as explicit.

Return to the Blog

I recently pulled all of my blog entries...I can't go into why as that might violate some sort of corporate policy. However after some thought...and reading my friend Paul's blog...I decided to relaunch Nate's Eye View.

First and foremost, my ideas in no way are representative of anyone but myself...there, that should take care of any sort of specious policy somewhere.

Second, there will be polls...so come often to vote...kind of like Chicago.

Finally, I'm gonna talk about a variety of topics...religion, culture, stereotypes, sex and politics...no holds barred...so if you're offended by colorful language or topics...this isn't for you.
