Natalie Portman Rap Uncensored

Nearly three years ago, Natalie Portman was in an SNL Digital Short where she performed a rap song about fucking dudes and smoking weed. Funny shit. But of course all the good stuff was beeped out. It's NBC after all.

Now the uncensored audio has been released. I think it's on an album by The Lonely Island. They're the guys who create those SNL short films. The song is funny and dirty so I don't imagine it'll be on YouTube for very long. Hollywood lawyers and studio execs hate things that are funny and dirty.

Saved by Zero is a Clusterfuck

I hate hate hate that fucking Toyota commercial. Every Sunday during NFL games and every commercial break during the MLB World Series I hear "saaaved by zeeerooo! saved by zero - saved by zero!"

I could not possibly hate a commercial more than I hate this one. The song is catchy and completely awful at the same time. I will never buy a Toyota. Ever.

The original song is from The Fixx, an 80's band. It's full of syncopated percussion, synth sounds, tons of reverb, a mulleted singer with a grim face, and vocals that sound almost like a slightly more upbeat version of Joy Division. Totally 80's, but not vomit-inducing.

The song in the commercial, however, is clearly a studio recording by some piece of shit classic rock cover band doing their version of a song that was mediocre to begin with. Imagine a backwoods Florida rock band in black t-shirts, tight acid washed jeans, waterfall mullets, and black Reebok high-tops performing a full set of Foreigner songs. Then out of nowhere they sneak in their version of this clusterfuck by The Fixx. That's how bad this song (and this commercial) is.

Watch at your own risk. If you off yourself after witnessing this atrocity, I will accept no responsibility whatsoever. I warned you.

Will all of this make Jack Benny come back?

Grandma might need a little help getting ready for DTV.
