Mauresmo, Sharapova, Davenport and Venus Williams!?? That's a helluva lineup. Usually I'm not that big on Wimbledon kuz I don't have any interest in the players that make it to the semi-finals. But this year it's gonna be intense. On one hand, I want Sharapova to win because she's the hottest, but I want Mauresmo to win because of the four she's the only one to have never won before, but then again I want Venus to win so she can show up her sister (not to mention those williams girls have the most beautifully lustrous ebony skin... you gotta admit they have fantastic skin), but in the end, Davenport is the most likeable one and it's impressive that she's doing so well considering how a year ago she said she was probably going to retire. And although she's not the hottest, I think the berrets in her hair are a cute touch.

In other words, it's anybody's game at this point!!!

EDIT: Nevermind.

it only gets up to the part where they're about to rescue princess leia though. It's not quite finished.

Dammit, there're people walking on my roof. Stupid painters. Now they're banging on my windows. Damn this is annoying.

DISCHORD RECORDS vs. NIKE






IAN MACKAYE REACTS TO NIKE AD'S FALSE ADVERTISING OF....THE APPROPRIATIONS AND UNCONSENSUAL ACTION OF USING THE MINOR THREAT COVER TO SELL SHOES:

"A Nike-sponsored skateboarding tour the company's dubbed "Major Threat" has Minor Threat's Ian MacKaye ticked.

The man at the front of both Minor Threat and Fugazi, two of Washington, D.C.'s most influential acts, is none too happy about what he deems Nike's co-optation of the Minor Threat logo, as well as the iconic imagery from the band's eight-song 1981 self-titled EP, for the three-date skateboarding event.

The tour's posters depict a bald man sitting on a stoop, head resting on his bended knees, sporting Nike's SB sneakers. The words "Major Threat" run down the poster's right side. Aside from a few aesthetic changes, the poster's a clone of the EP's artwork which also served as the cover of the group's Complete Discography, released in 1988.

According to MacKaye, the world's biggest producer of athletic footwear never sought his or his label Dischord's permission to reinterpret one of hardcore's most venerated album covers. But then again, it wouldn't have mattered much if it did, because MacKaye never would have given Nike his blessing.

"What the hell were they thinking?" MacKaye, on tour with his current band the Evens, wrote in an e-mail to MTV News. "To set the record straight Nike never contacted Dischord, nor Minor Threat, to obtain permission to use this imagery, nor was any permission granted. Simply put, Nike stole it and we're not happy about it. We are not yet sure what actions, if any, we can take to stop this campaign."

It's expected, though, that once MacKaye returns from touring later this week, there will be a meeting between MacKaye and the rest of Minor Threat Lyle Preslar, Brian Baker, Steve Hansgen and Jeff Nelson to explore what available legal options they could collectively pursue. According to a Dischord spokesperson, "they're all pissed off and offended."

"To longtime fans and supporters of Minor Threat and Dischord, this must seem like just another familiar example of mainstream corporations attempting to assimilate underground culture to turn a buck," reads MacKaye's statement. "However, it is more disheartening to us to think that Nike may be successful in using this imagery to fool kids, just beginning to become familiar with skate culture, underground music and D.I.Y. ideals, into thinking that the general ethos of this label, and Minor Threat in particular, can somehow be linked to Nike's mission."

Minor Threat were the definitive Washington, D.C., hardcore punk band and the godfathers of the straight-edge punk movement of the early 1980s, and MacKaye's Dischord Records has served as a bastion of, and model for, independent music and labels.

The last stop on Nike's Major Threat Tour, sponsored by the company's SB (that's skateboarding) division, hits the Sayreville Skatepark in Sayreville, New Jersey, on Thursday, and will feature demonstrations from skaters Brian Anderson, Omar Salazar and Danny Supa.

By press time, a Nike spokesperson did not return calls seeking comment for this story.

NIKE'S RESPONSE HERE.

1. Did you go to the actual site and see all the pictures? There're some pretty good ones of hot russian girls... with much less clothing than the one I posted as an example.

2. Did any of you see those pictures I posted last night? I noticed the bandwidth limit was surpassed and they were down for a while. I've got a feeling nobody saw 'em... but it'd be a damn shame if you didn't. Go look at the three posts here. That shit is fuckin GOLD!!!

haha, AGAIN it's not my ride or my price point.
noice pic by the way, crazy Ruskis gone wild.

Is there bad movie night tonight?

Is that how you guys buy things? Base it on how hot the person selling it is? Is this why you guys never get anything really good? The charms of the person selling it blind you to the flaws of the merchandise? You got to go in with a cool head otherwise you'll get ripped off. Before even thinking of buying that car I'd give it a thorough once over. What work was done on it? Is the clutch even still working? What shape is the gear box in? You got to check this all out and more if you want to consider buying this car. Plus street price of this car is only 2750 bucks if it has under 7500 Km on it (Price for a fully loaded model). Depending on the milage it can be worth as little as 200 bucks. Well sorry to burst your guys bubble or whatever.
