Not Cool Guys: Spitting On People

Once again we are back with a "Not Cool Guys" episode. Our topic this time is spitting, a very nasty habit that some lames resort to in conflicting situations. I remember all to my freshman year of UD, on a bus ride back from a B-more club this racist dude tried to start a fight with me and my boys. We brushed it off, they were lames, no use in getting arrested. Then Rastio tells me the dude just spit on me while my back was turned...so...yea that's Not Cool Guys, and it's definitely worthy of a smackdown. We get off the bus, and we go to war...had to hit dude with the Shoryuken upper-cut and the rest is history. Here is a video depicting why spitting on people is Not Cool Guys: skip to 1 min mark

Usher: Expressive Frontier To The Xtreme

Now we believe in making your own trail in life, but this story is a little OD. By now I'm sure most of you have probably heard of Ian Usher, the Australian man who auctioned his life -- complete with his house, job and friends -- on eBay. Well, the auction closed Sunday with a winning bid of about $384,000...yea that's huff! Usher was tight I'm sure!

"The price was a bit lower perhaps than I expected, but this has all been about making a clean break and moving on, so that's what I intend to do," Mr. Usher wrote in a post on his site, Alife4sale.com.

After a bad breakup with his wife, Mr. Usher put his life up for sale in hopes of achieving a fresh start. Damn...wifey must have been a horrible look! He did not disclose the buyer's identity."This is the challenge I have set for myself ... ACHIEVE 100 GOALS IN 100 WEEKS!!" he wrote on his site.

Right now, he only has 90 goals, so he invites visitors to submit ideas to his new site, 100goals100weeks.com. This is probably a huge gimic to draw traffic to his site and then get bread through ad sales. Brilliant, everyone seems to be catching on, including us...yea so whatever go check out his site.

Not Cool Guys: Mistaken Identity

Wow...this is pretty absurd, especially for a nationally watched program. In this clip from the Today Show about Rolling Stone’s Obama cover, an old promo shot of Joe Budden is displayed when they mention that the Senator enjoys listening to Jay-Z. This is ridiculous, and completely unprofessional. On a television program with millions of viewers, it is not cool to mistake Jay-z for Joe Budden. Whoever made this mistake was trying to get fired...NOT COOL GUYS.

Not Cool Guys: Getting Knocked Up For Fun

So apparently the new fad in high school is...getting Knocked Up! This quite possibly may be one of the most absurd yet accurate news articles I've read in a while. Time Magazine did an article looking at how celebrities have made getting knocked up THE "it" thing to do. Not Cool Guys...these celebrities have serious bread, they can afford to wild'out like that. If you're still in high school just know, it is not cool to get knocked up for fun, it's hell, just watch Knocked Up the movie!A celebrity culture that seems to make being pregnant glamorous may have contributed in part to the thought process that led several students in a Massachusetts high school to make a pact to try to get pregnant together, according to one psychologist.

Seventeen Gloucester High students are now pregnant, more than four times as many as at this time last year, and almost half admitted to school officials that they agreed to the pact, according to Time magazine.

"And I think a part of it is this celebrity culture. If you look at all the celebrity magazines, celebrity TV shows, you can't turn a page without seeing more and more celebrities getting pregnant."

The recent movies "Juno," which won an Oscar, and "Knocked Up," both deal with teen pregnancy and ”appear to take away the stigma.

Not Cool Guys: Death Wish Practice

So I'm breezing through some facebook pictures, and find my boy from high school in some absurd photographs. Shooting ranges are cool, if you're a fed or spy, but making a Saturday out of shooting paper terrorist is not cool guys. First of all look how blatently racist these target options are, a Hispanic man and a person dressed in Middle Eastern garb? Wait isn't that the dude from Scarface, in Tony's entourage? "Chi Chi, get the yayo!"

NOT COOL GUYS: Boat Shoes

So in the past few days I've been seeing a few post on blogs (won't name any names) that are glorifying the adoption of the Uber-Preppy boat shoe steez. Well, because I thought this was so absurd I created this new section of the blog. Per the title, the section is called "Not Cool Guys". It will highlight fashion/social blunders, pretty much everything that's lame. Just gotta balance things out ya know, it's a lot of first timers who enter the world of "getting fresh" and think they can rock anything. Although the blogs who posted on boat shoes this week are prominent fashion blogs, we strongly disagree on this "upcoming" trend in footwear. Boat shoes are lame. Yea you can try to argue that you can pull anything off, but why would you want to pull these off? The two types that should wear these lame gamers are 1) old men who own some type of watercraft and 2) Preppy guys who only know Polo (we call em the Super Prep 2000's). I'm sorry, but boat shoes are not cool guys.
