A couple of Phoenix Suns (NBA, gag me) fans decided to combine Los Suns’ playoff run and their love of arts and crafts to get their free speech on at a recent Suns playoff game. Recent as in the last round when Los Suns were still playing Los Spurs. What? They don’t do Los Spurs too? Why the hell not? They both border on Mexico and Texas is definitely more well-known for Mexican immigration. Regardless, the two Suns fans decided to write “Viva Los 1070″ on some ugly ass orange sweatshirts and let their opinion of supporting the recent immigration measure passed in Arizona be known. You know, the one people make fun of by saying “Show me your papers.” But wait, uh-oh, did they not know Los Suns have come out against 1070 in a move I view as pandering to any potential fans they can get. Are they hurting for fans that bad in Arizona? It turns out the two fans did  know the Suns position and wore the shirts as a protest with one saying, ““If they’re going to shove their politics down my throat, I’m going make a message of my own.” Frankly I’m surprised this story isn’t getting more national attention because at one point during the game the arena security escorted the men away from their floor seats and asked them to remove their protest garb. After a discussion the men were allowed to continue wearing their shirts and returned to their seats amidst cheering, jeering, laughing, and high fives. “High five, bro, I totes dislike immigrants too!” It is believed by one of the men wearing the “Viva Los 1070″ shirts that the request from security came from someone associated with the TNT broadcast crew which a TNT spokesman has of course denied. The truth about where the request came from will probably not be known unless this story gets some more national traction. For now, one of the men who wore the controversial shirt has printed up 500 similar shirts and plans to start a website. And the two guys are getting free tickets and basketballs signed by Los Suns. Hmmm… maybe I should go protest at the nearest Miller High Life brewery. And that’s the end of that. *dusts off hands by clapping them together.*

So we’ve all heard that 3-D is proliferating through media faster than North Korea allegedly does with weapons. Allegedly. It didn’t all start with Avatar, but that was the straw that broke the camels back and released the floodgates so to say. Hey, I get that. If I did something that made me $2+ billion and climbing, I’d probably do that again. But now everyone is releasing 3-D TV’s and Sony is even tying their future to 3-D and it’s integration with everything they make. Everyone has made the jokes about 3-D porn, but we all know that’s coming. Now Playboy has joined the mix.

This years Playmate of the Year, Hope Dworacyzk, will have her centerfold be in 3-D and the magazine will ship with 3-D glasses. Not the new style ones that don’t look retarded, but the old school red eye-blue eye version. I don’t know what it is about that, but it makes me sad and longing for times past. If I wanted to see 3-D, I’d go out and do something. If I wanted the 3-D boobs, well then I’d guess I’d just have to go out and see some. You know the ones that you can actually feel and what not. Maybe I’m the crazy one, but where and when does this trend end?

*Whimpering noise* The season finale of Saturday Night Live was this past Saturday, May 15th, with Alec Baldwin. One can gauge how important this event was based on the breakneck speed at which I assembled this post. And you’ll notice that I do not have a picture of Alec Baldwin at the top of this post even though he hosted the finale. I figured my conservative overlords from The New Ledger would not appreciate a picture of a noted liberal on their blog so I chose Abby Elliott, a smart, funny, and pretty girl instead. Who cares what her politics are? She’s a dame, am I right?
SNL made a liar out of me this season. Having come back to the show as a regular DVRer for the past three seasons I predicted to my wife that this season would play out like the other two previous seasons: slow start, with a good finish. This season, the 35th season of the show, got the slow start part correct, but somewhere they forgot to pick up the pace. Look, I don’t like being a hater, but this show has got to get more consistent if it wants to stay on the air and more importantly if it wants to keep me entertained. There were some bright spots this season. I laughed quite a bit, but there some episodes where they just needed to rewind back to the beginning of the week and start over again. I thought this bit by Bill Hader during weekend update was funny. He’s done it once or twice before. Hader is one of my favorite cast members because of his ability with impressions. I’m a bit of an amateur impressionist myself. You have to have a good ear to be a good impressionist. For instance, the character Hader does in this sketch, Stefon, is a notch or two away from his dead-on John Malkovich impression. See, I told you, the ear…
