Spidey vs Boy Band
I'm not sure what's going on in this Japanese Spider-Man clip. Spidey seems to be in great psychic distress over this boy-band seranading him outside his window. Maybe he only just found out about Lance Bass?

Foxy Bronx
Foxy Bronx is perhaps the coolest site if you're into Bollywood, funky cinema, blaxploitation, exploitation and weird kick ass stuff like that. It's an awesome French site (formerly a fanzine) dedicated to all groovy cinematic things - delivered to you kung fu style.
This is also the site that gave the Internets the wicked Solla Solla experience.
Check it out!
Latest Foxy Bronx treasure - hey! say Hare Rama Hello to The Beatnik Guru (Sivaji).
As the Foxy Bronx crew state on their page - this is probably The Wildest Hit of the Summer!!!!
"In the heat of Katmandu nights, have a trip with Sivaji, the international king of rhythm who blasted the underground world of tamil hippies. "

The Museum Of Black Superheroes
"Betha Buttress was one of the characters that appear in the comic C.H.I.X.: That Time Forgot, fighting her nemesis Das Booty. Both character's posess impressive strength, but Das Booty was a dirty fighter, so in the end, she won their battle. Despite her defeat, Bertha was chosen by the story's heroine, Good Girl, to help save theuniverse.
Comment: Bertha Buttress pretty much comes off like Marvel's She-Hulk, although she never reverted to another form. Also, it seems this character was inspired by the song "The Bertha Butt Boogie."

Sorry...
This is not a political post.
This is facts.
You, started this based on lies (still facts).
Now, do the right thing.
And. please, don't even think to put even more misery into peoples lives.
And, please, tell your beloved Israeli friends that there is no war to win.
Honestly, you can't win a war.
There are only casualties.
But, what You really should ask yourself is: What is the difference betweeen terrorists and soldiers.
It's kind of shady.
Fuck You (well, I can get nasty too...), Lovers of deception, hatred and war.
This is mrdantefontana speaking. Back from vacation.
