Kevin Smith in all his ranting about the “Too Fat Too Fly” incident keeps talking about his weight and his lifestyle by claiming “he owns it”, which I think is awesome. I absolutely think people should “own it” more often. I love that Kevin Smith makes no excuses for being fat and says if people fuck with him on it he’ll go on Twitter and destroy them. I only wish Southwest would’ve handled the PR debacle by owning it as well.

If I were the head of Southwest Airlines I’d have responded to Kev’s bitching with:

“In today’s competitive air travel market every carrier needs to stand out in some way to survive. JetBlue has a TV in every seat, Virgin America has in-flight WiFi and at Southwest we promise two things: 1) bags fly free and 2) your seat will not be cramped due to being seated next to an obese person. Fat people are no less human than skinny folks, but let’s be honest nobody is excited when they’re seated next to some slob, not even other fat people. So, if you’re fat and need your fatness handled with kid gloves try Midwest or Hooters Air. But, here at Southwest unless there is an extra seat next to you or a large closet where we can hide you from passengers who understand the words diet and exercise we are bumping you from the flight.”

This message isn’t why Hunter is my hero, but the fact that he left probably 10,000 messages like this in his life is.

Will Smith wants to be President of the United States and I’d bet anything it will happen…just think, if people were dumb enough to believe the bullshit Barack Obama spouted during his campaign those same people probably believe that Will Smith has single handedly saved our planet from aliens on more than one occaision.

All hail President Smith and VP Jazzy Jeff!

If you swear you want to repeal the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, but you’re strategy for doing so is something besides telling troops:

“OK fellas, feel free to ask. And, if you so choose, feel free to tell as well.”

Oh, by the way, if you think our troops will be completely out of Iraq by August then I would love to know how you are managing to read this website with your head so far up your own ass.

Former NBA guard Stephon Marbury has decided to join the Shanxi Club of the Chinese Basketball Association when reached for comment regarding the deal Steph said:

“I tried to sign with some other international teams like in Italy and Spain and Europe and Germany, but it turns out they had all read stories about how I hate coaches and passing and practice. But I guess they censor the press in China and since all articles written about me include at least one person calling me an “asshole” they couldn’t print any of them over there. Anyway, I am really excited to play there. I love Chinese food and I love electronics. Plus, I’ll be able visit the sweatshops where they make my shoes. Now, if you don’t mind I’ve gotta get going, I’m going live on uStream in 10 minutes where I’m going to dress up a live chicken like Mike D’Antoni and then bite its head off and cover my face in it’s blood. Peace to all my slant eyed fans in China, I’ll see all yall rice eaters soon. Word Aaaap!

If that’s what you’re looking for in a blog, well than I’ve got good news for you. I recently started a basketball blog. It’s called Bob Cousy’s Lisp and if you like the kind of stuff you find here at JoePraino.com, but also love the NBA than I highly recommend you check it out.

Here’s some video of a D.C. police officer who pulls his gun on a crowd after his Hummer, yes his Hummer, gets hit with a snowball.

In related news, on Friday night my girlfriend and I each got $100 tickets from two of the NYPD’s finest dreamkillers after sharing a swipe of my Metrocard. What’s my point? Simply that cops hate fun, they hate the holidays, they hate Santa Claus, they hate Jesus and God, they hate happiness, they hate peace, they hate you and they definitely hate me. I’m sure there is a few good cops out there in the world, just like there are a few Hollywood actors over 5′7″, but as a general rule if you see a cop looking at you it’s because he (or god forbid she) is trying to figure out how to ruin your day.
