Don’t those words sound strange together: “Suge Knight’s assailant”? The beatifically smiling young man, above, is, allegedly, he: Greg the Barber, or, as he is popularly now known, the Man Who Cold Knocked Suge Knight Both Out and Flat On His Behind.

Introducing the dance remix of Bill O’Reilly’s now notorious, “twenty years old” hissy fit, obviously just as NSFW as is Bill.

Thanks to Ebog Jonson for alerting me to another brilliant mash-up from fellow WBAI-er Jay Smooth, of ill doctrine fame.

Here, Obama supporter, Democratic Party leader, and movie gangster Marcellus Wallace smoke-filled-rooms with Hillary Clinton, letting her know in the very smoothest, frankest, most curse-laden language possible that she needs to take a fall. But, as you can tell, by the end, she still doesn’t get it. Looks like Barack is gonna have to get medieval on that…tookus.

The Joker (Heath Ledger) “frosted glass” single-sided glossy advance (27″ x 40″), new.

The fact that, in 1974, Barack Obama was 13 and living in Hawai’i means nothing to the time-stuttering, narrative-bending comedian in this absurd, high-larious short.

Freddy Lockhart’s BARACKin74 series imagines an alternate universe in which Obama is a rising, ambitious, yet somewhat naive and full-of-himself freshman at Occidental College in Los Angeles.

Captured in the faux, promotional video-style of schools at that time, mixing archival footage with his own impersonation of the senator, I have a hard time putting my finger on why I love Lockhart’s cerebral act. Dave Chappelle doesn’t, though. So, listen to Rick James, if that’s what it takes to get you to watch this.

Jean Nouvel is one of the most imaginative architects in the world, and the innovativeness of his vision has been rewarded with the 2008 Pritzker, considered the “Nobel Prize” of architecture.

But, in fact, is he hiding his true identity: Dr. Evil, of Austin Powers fame? Think about it: Have you noticed that you’ve never seen them together in the same room, at the same time?

Thanks to mirage.studio.7 blog for pointing this out.

Wait…is that…my old lady? I never knew!

This is probably about as close to perfect as it gets: Rupert Holmes’ FM classic, “Escape (The Pina Colada Song),”…acted out by Sims.

Margaret Seltzer: Liar, yes; fraud, affirmative…but sex symbol?

As you’ve perhaps noticed, our little MEDIA ASSASSIN YouTube, “Margaret B. Jones / Seltzer’s Lie-All Gangsta Video—Exposed!”, which debuted exactly ten days ago, with an accompanying breakdown of the imaginary memoirist’s tall tales, became something of a sensation, returning the blog’s highest page view numbers to date.

Thank you, everyone.

That’s more like it.

There’s nothing like a movie that knocks it out of the park on the very first trailer. That wasn’t The Incredible Hulk, though. It was too dark, it looked cheap, and, aside from a geographically fruity rendition of Harlem’s 125th St., was completely uninteresting.

They get it right on trailer 2, above. What comes through is a very pissed, very destructive Hulk, in action. You don’t need more than that! It’s not in the mind-blowing league of Iron Man or Speed Racer, but they’ve got my money, baby. Opens June 13th.

“Forever and a day”: Heatwave’s Wilder counts the seconds

Here you go: A gorgeous piece of videotape, featuring the funk band, Heatwave, performing live. They’re led by their late co-founder, Johnnie Wilder, Jr. (1949-2006), above, singing their perennial, six-minute, slow jam classic, “Always and Forever.” Proms, everywhere: Rejoice.
