What
follows is a scattershot bit of random thoughts, links, and images that
showcase the lunacy that exists in the entertainment world and beyond.
Folks who remember my old missives from the old Steady Leak articles
should find this kind of stuff familiar. Folks seemed to get a kick out
of the first installment, and each Wednesday should fall victim to
another installment. Don’t expect anything deep here but something may
tickle your fancy.
1. Rade Sherbedgia, Graffiti Artist.
Graffiti is often a tool for the iconoclast, an undying method of speaking in defiance to oppression and a finger in the eye of injustice. Or, it’s a direct line to the homophobes of the world. In this case it’s a distillation of our entire culture.

8. Buy One Mercedes Get Condescending Attitude Free!

I was sitting outside the yogurt shop with my daughter, dozens of parking spaces all around when this Mercedes pulled up and parked in the only spot more annoying than the handicapped one. There the woman sits in her elite car waiting for the perfect moment to finish her call and carry her elite self inside to claim her elite products. If I was more ballsy I’d have rubbed my ballsy on her hood. As it stood I just gave her my best glare as she entered and exited, and then she drove away to have a much better life than me.
9. I Just Got a Crown of Thorns Victoria!

Anyone who uses this service is a moron, no exceptions. Cars for Christ. Basically, you donate your spare vehicles (because we all have a few of those lying around) that you won’t need when the Rapture [link, laugh track excluded] comes, write off the taxes, and let some zealot drive around town spreading His word in Your car. Fuck off.
10. A Blowback Economy.

There are situations where dead leaves need to go. When you have a lawn that will stagnate and die if covered with leaves, it makes sense to rake them up and mulch them or bag them or perhaps blow them out into the street. With that said, leaves on the ground is beautiful. Multicolored reminders of the seasonal change and a blanket for the ground that mixes up the old status quo. Where I live there are constantly fuckers blowing leaves around aimlessly in parking lots simply to get them off the sidewalks of clients, where the leaves are then manhandled by wind, cars, and life’s grand plan. They are leaves. Leave them the fuck alone. Blowing them around town is useless and annoying.
