Kill 4 Coif

As a rule i get it in on dudes wit perms (not particularly fond of it on women either), but like they say there is an exception to every rule. For me that exception is Charles Bradley. His spirit is so bright, that you want to hug him, and he effortlessly shares his soul in his music. After meeting him briefly and seeing him perform, I said to myself, "His choice in a do can't be a product of self hate, can it?".

Maybe the perm has transcended it's origins, detached from the hate that produced it,  encompassing the spirit of each generation that reshaped it in their need to express the said and the unsaid.

As far as I'm concerned Charles has earned his perm, he is a beautiful example of the age that produced him.

Kill 4 Camo

This video makes me wonder about 2 things, the very fragile factors that hold our society together and the true nature of people. That friendly smile might be camouflage...

On that note merry X-Mas!

Kill 4 Christmukwanza

Great word, especially the connecting "u" vs an "a". Wish I had come up with it, but that honor belongs to Amanda Park Taylor. She writes a column for The L Magazine, called the conscientious objector. In her "Dreaming of a Green Christmas", she has some great ideas for ecologically responsible, recession proof gifting.

But for all of you guys who just wont be able to sleep at night unless you buy me something that's bad for the environment, this link is for you.

Kill 4 Chukkas

Planning my first Annual Shoe Throwing Party to commemorate the ending of the Bush Administration.
Envision a Bush dummy ( is that redundant? ) suspended from the rafters as the crowd shoes him in effigy...

Kill 4 Chasm

Add one part self hate, two parts prison philosophy, mix in a hand full of religion for legitimacy and you have yourself some bullshit! (2:40 mark)

These dudes have such contempt for women, that it makes you wonder what their mothers were like, and if on that great day of judgment, mom-dukes will find herself on the chopping block as well.

Kill 4 Chicken?

Recently I had a friend jokingly ask me if i was afraid of getting a cease and desist...

I chose KFC because like McDonald's and Burger King, its presence is ubiquitous, making it a cultural reference point, an example of what is "good" and bad about consumer culture.
I hoped by juxtaposing the familiar combination of these 3 letters against an ambiguous and provocative phrase, that I might spark some questions.

Maybe I am infringing on Kentucky Fried Chickens trademark.
I think the fact that we have almost no say in the proliferation of corporate branding in our lives should give us some claim over these marks.

I call what i have done "Stripbanding". Stripbranding is the infusing of a well known brand or mark with a new, and compared to its original usage, ironic meaning.

Kill 4 Cycles

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, my future significant other.

OK, OK, let me chill; but don't front, it's a cool way to avoid the shortest distance between two points.
