Written by Mat Johnson and drawn by Simon Gane, Dark Rain tells a story of opportunists trying to exploit the plight of New Orleans in the days after the hurricane. At times it’s alternately funny and moving, but it’s always focused on a very sharp but simple story.
It tells the tale of a man desperate for money who wants to rob a bank in the chaos of the flood and enlists the help of a reluctant ex-con who could use the money to help with his child support. Things go from bad to worse when they realize they’re racing against an evil Blackwater type outfit of mercenaries to the bank. Very reminiscent of a Third Man type story set in New Orleans, this is a book very much worth checking out.
The book doesn’t just tackle the heist story, though, it captures a taste of the horror and confusion of the days after the hurricane and the immense sense of depression and loss that must have been present in the Superdome while residents waited far too long for aid. In fact, there were more than a couple of moments in the book set in the Superdome that almost brought tears to my eyes.
In the end the book is very optimistic, offering hope to those who choose to do the right thing.
Laurence Fishburne’s daughter made a flick. Yes – one of Those kinds of flicks.
Montana “Chippy D” Fishburne will make her XXX debut in porn titled “Montana Exposed”, says Vivid Entertainment’s website. The dirty movie drops Aug. 18, but not if you believe the hype from urban porn director Brian Pumper – a.k.a. Boomer, B Pumper and Bling Man (his rap name).
B Pumper won Best Director for his body of work at the 2010 Urban X Awards and said in an interview with Chippy D, filmed in a Los Angeles subway, that Chippy D filmed a scene in Freaky Empire’s “Phattys Rhymes and Dimes 14”.
Watch the full interview courtesy of carltonjordan.com (you can hear the Subway muzak in the background).
When asked about his technique, Boomer said, “perverts want to see new girls.”
“I been getting fresh first timers, and that’s my treat to the fans, know what I’m saying?”
During the interview, Chippy D let porn fans know what’s up when she said, “I have a lot of at home experience. I love the camera.”
“I know what I do and I do it well,” she said with a smirk.
If you’re down with knocking one out to a female Morpheus, scoop a copy of which ever smut film hits the shelves first.
Bling Man’s other porn credits include “Big Phat Onion Booty 3”, “Hit Dat Shit 5”, “Assiliciously Delicious 9” and “Yo’ Mama’s a Freak 4”.
Austin finished strong in 7th place on the index, boasting contributions to the LGBT community like The Texas Gay Rodeo Association.
Dallas broke the top 20 at number 19 – holding it down for Texas LGBTs.
According to the story published by The Daily Beast, the creators of the Gay/Lesbian Index admit the data used in the survey was dubious at best, but nonetheless solid enough to dish out gayness ranks.
Be real sad, Houston. The survey added that gay cities are prettier, greener, perform better economically and have more ballin’ homes per capita.
Ok, It’s no secret, I’m a hater (no capitalization). Nah, I’m even better than that. I’m a connoisseur of hate, a hateur if you will.
Outside of matters that directly affect me, I generally take the high road and keep my mouth shut and let the violators keep violating. But alas, a new trend has worn my patience paper thin and I can no longer sit by idly as the hearts and minds of nubile neophytes are increasingly avowed to pasty glitter skinned panty boys. I stand at the nadir of modern culture and must defend my race (human) against the scourge of masculinity. The modern day vampire archetype must die. Simply put, if you’re rocking fangs and your name is neither Bela Lugosi nor BlaculaAND you weren’t in the OG cast of The Lost Boys, you ain’t shit to me.
Before you warm up your keyboards to whine emptily into space that I’m simply Twilight bashing, I must inform you that I find the concept passe’. There’s already plenty of vitriol spewed at Twilight fans, while I’m not here to solely bash Twilight fans, I can find no wrong in those that seek to rid the earth of your kind. Yet, this post is much larger than the imaginary world of Volvo SUV’s and translucent skin supremacists that you young wastes of DNA have chosen to inhabit.
Authors note: If you consider something like this, kill yourself now.
This is about ALL modern vampire-kind that has literally stripped the balls clean off of one of the formerly most pimp characters ever imagined of the underworld. You think Vlad the Impaler would have rocked skinny jeans and turned Capt. Save-A-Hoe over some equally pale and mannishly jawed bitch?!
Texas?! Ah Fuck, you’re one of these people aren’t you?! I sincerely hate you all!!!
Bram Stoker’s Dracula would have backhanded the hell out of every member of Team Edward til they loved the sensation of his wilted dick on their lips. You know how I can tell that he’s a pimp? Look at his damn nails! All he do is count money and touch bitches! He ain’t climbing trees with them! He JUST got em done.
Oh! And he will cut a muh fuckah too!
True Blood fans fare only slightly better. I do spare them a mere ounce of contempt considering the vamps that they admire aren’t virgins. Herein lies the rub, True Blood fans are more prone to sexually fantasize about the characters of the show. Granted that it’s a more adult-themed show and even I can admit that I would bang the Queen of Louisiana given the chance. Wait, what?!.

Journalism.org recently took on a near impossible task; They tracked sources for information distributed on Twitter and other blogging and social networking sites and traced the information back to the old school media. Without the good old traditional/print media, our favorite web based info suppliers would have to pay reporters and photographers of their own, instead of just dropping links to the big dogs.
Speaking of links …

HOUSTON- A Southwest Airlines passenger said she was unfairly targeted for her size after trying to board a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Houston.
Connie Guillory said she has never been asked to pay for a second seat until the trip she took last week.
Guillory and her best friend, April Small, left on a girls’ trip to the Bahamas last Thursday.
“I’ve been there once before so I just like, I’m ready to go,” said Guillory.
Guillory convinced Small to board a plane for the first time and promised to show her the ropes as they made their way to the Caribbean.
Small said she had all kinds of emotions as she boarded the flight on the first leg to Fort Lauderdale.
“I was trying to contain my butterflies,” said Small. “I was ‘woo,’ you know? On the way back, it was another story.”
After their fun in the sun, Guillory was stopped by a Southwest agent on their way back through Fort Lauderdale.
She said he wouldn’t let her board unless she bought a second seat.
“The way they said it, they were just like basically, ‘You can’t get on. You are too big,’” Guillory said.
“I guess because he’s a Florida man, and you see two-pieces all day on skinny women that you just wanna discriminate against a Texas woman or something. Everything in Texas is bigger. What, ya gonna ban the whole state?” Guillory added.
After some heated words, Guillory and Small managed to make it home without buying that second seat, but they said they feel cheated all the same.
Southwest officials said they have apologized to Guillory and gave her a $100 travel voucher. They also said their policy on second-seat purchases is not perfect, and but they try to be consistent.
Southwest promised to continue educating airline employees to prevent this from happening again.
