Is this some kind of a sick joke?

The week started off pretty darn good.

When I walked into the office Monday morning, nobody ran over to my cubicle, and screamed "get the fuck out of here". My fantasy team had an inspiring, epic, playoff comeback win. My mother finally made a dinner that wasn’t comparable to a bag of Purina Dog Chow, and I avoided a cell-phone ticket thanks to my friend, (the venerable Sean McRae) being related to the cop that flagged me down.

Then the bomb dropped….

The good people at Fox must have read my Return of the Mack post a few days ago, (ripping both the 9-year-old pseudo-pimp that published a book on dating and the network itself,) because they obviously wanted to stick it to me, just a little bit more uncomfortably.

This is classic irony, because I even insultingly referred to the original article, which was published on MSN, as being something of 'Fox-proportions'. What happens next shouldn't really be a surprise at this point, but Fox just continues to push the envelope in being totally useless.

Turns out that according to the article, Fox wants to turn the book into a movie, and the kid is going to get a six figure deal out of it. I said in the original post that I wasn’t being a ‘hater’, but now this has clearly gone too far. In response to me making fun of Fox in print for the 70,000th time this year, I assume they've grown weary of my jabs and have decided to punish me by giving MY future movie deals away to midwestern children.


The above article quotes the kid on saying ‘not to wear sweats’ when approaching women. While this sounds practical, I will again refute this kid’s claims with yet another classic rap lyric. In Jay-Z’s ‘7-Minute Freestyle’ featuring the late legend Big L, Jay says the following:

“pullin R&B bitches...wearin’ hoodies”

For those of you who aren’t hip to the rap jargon, I’ll translate for you.

“I can attract pleasant-looking women with harmonious singing voices, all while wearing comfortable apparel.”

Now once again, Jay-Z, is currently married to Beyonce’, arguably one of the hottest chicks ever. And by his lyrics, it can be assumed that he courted her while wearing a cotton sweatshirt of some kind. Whether she is attracted to his wallet or not is irrelevant, because the lucky bastard still gets to ‘wax that ass’ on a regular basis.

My point here is that Jay-z is a much more accomplished ladies’ man, and I’ll take his word for it over some snot-nosed charlatan-in-training who gets compensated for diluting the movie and book industry.

Who are you gonna believe?
