Send me a REAL check!

November 20th, 2008 | Category: Bullshit

You know when you get those checks in the mail, like from a car dealership or a credit card company wanting you to give in to their bullshit?

As I was going through the mail today, I saw another one of those things and opened it up to destroy it. Then it occurred to me, I had no idea what they were trying to sell me or get me to do, but all I saw was Pay to the order of: ME

amount $500

and across the entire thing was written “THIS IS NOT A REAL CHECK”.

Do you think I can get away with that when paying the bills? Hey KCP&L, here’s your money…but it’s not a real check.

I want a real check!

fuckers.

The Monsters – Burn My Mind

November 20th, 2008 | Category: Music, Video

Kudos to whoever the hell made this video. The images from Roberto Gavaldon’s film Macario work really well with this song by Reverend Beat-Man’s fuzzed-out garage-punk band, The Monsters, from Switzerland. Enjoy!
