Donald Trump's ironic fight against pornography

So, Donald Trump has signed a pledge to fight against internet pornography. No, really. You can stop laughing now. Okay, I'll give you five more minutes.

:: gives you ten minutes ::

Okay, I'm back. Get all that laughing out of your system? Good. The reason this anti-pornography pledge is so funny is the fact Donald Trump appeared on the cover of Playboy magazine in 1990 (long before nude pictures were banned); his 3rd wife, Melania, has taken nude girl-on-girl photos; the GOP nominee has admitted to being unfaithful to at least two of his three wives and sleeping around quite a bit during his day, often times with married women, etc.

Given the reality of Mr. Trump's history with marriage, infidelity, and pornography, what he's now essentially saying is this:

"I was once the face of a magazine where, if kids flipped through the pages, they could see lots, and I mean lots of vaginas, breasts, and asses. I'm against gay stuff, but think my 3rd wife, Melania's, nude photos, where she and another woman were like all over each other, was pretty cool and hot. So, anyway, as my three wives and many mistresses would agree, I believe in the sanctity of marriage, so I'm sorry gays, you shouldn't be able to get married, and as my appearance in Playboy and Melania's steamy photos should tell you, I'll be the staunchest fighter of pornography the world has ever known!"

Yeah, with that line of thinking (or lack there of), expect The Donald to utter the following lines at some point in the future:

- "I'm signing a pledge to help fight against infidelity. To my first two wives, I'd just like to say, starting now..."

- "I'm vowing to all of you that I'm going to sign a pledge to fight against lying. This is a yuge promise! It's gonna be even bigger than Obama's home country, Kenya!"

- "If nothing else, I plan on signing this pledge to ban orange tanning products. Hey, who's Syracuse play tonight? What time? Nice, I'll be sure to get there by 6. Who says mascots aren't punctual, am I right?"

- "If you elect me, I promise to sign a pledge to fight against racism. Hey Jamal, bring me a pen and that piece of paper thing to sign. Nevermind, you're one of those lazy black people. Jose, you hand them to me instead."

- "Believe me, I'm gonna do everything I can to sign a pledge which fights against fathers giving $1 million loans to their sons. Before I do this, I'd just like to say, 'Thank you, dad. I couldn't have done this without you.'"

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...

Film Critic Steve Rhodes Has Some Issues

Normally, I don't "bash" movie critics, because what's the point? We all have different tastes in film, so who am I to say that their tastes are wrong? But, I just bumped into a critic online the other day, and I really have to wonder about him. There is not much consistency with what he likes and doesn't like. Check that, he dislikes anything with George Clooney, he either strongly likes or dislikes films dealing with politics, and he typically enjoys Arnold Schwarzenegger films. Keep in mind that this is a major film critic. This is not a guy like me who writes blog reviews after I view a film at the theaters. Also keep in mind that I'm very open-minded when it comes to films. I enjoy: comedies, dramas, science-fiction, action, suspense/mystery, horror, romantic comedies, romance, foreign, independent, satires, amongst others. It takes a lot for me to sit down, watch a film, and dislike it. There are only a few films where after the credits start rolling, I...
