Live Earth is a series of concerts planned for July 7, 2007 (7/7/07) to raise awareness of global climate change. An anouncement was made on February 15, 2007 by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and other activists as part of a campaign called Save Our Selves (SOS). The concert series is modeled after the 1985 Live Aid concerts and 2005’s Live8.
Organizers have stated a goal of reaching an audience of 2 billion.
The concert intends to have an event on every continent, including the first rock concert on Antarctica.
I’m confused.
I checked the lineup and didn’t see Green Day listed anywhere.
I thought they signed a contract along with U2 to headline every piece of shit overhyped mega-concert through 2017.
Dear sweet holy mother of crap. Please, please watch Joe Rogan dismantle Carlos Mencia live. Joe’s been a voice in the desert for years calling comedians out on joke stealing.
One in particular is Carlos (Ned Holness) Mencia. I guess last week Nedlos had enough of it and decided to challenge Joe on stage. The preceding trainwreck is hilarious. This is destined to make the rounds.
The irony of this is that the same mindless dolts who have been slapping their knees over this guys garbage ever since comedy central scrambled to plug him in the gaping hole left by Chappelle are going to be the ones who watch this video and turn against him.
Personally, I don’t watch the guy. As a white male, I find his observations about how caucasians are uptight, mexicans steal and black people like malt liquor far too over the top and edgy for my fragile constitution.

For anyone wondering what the “Mooninite Brouhaha” was that I mentioned in the previous post, I will explain.
Cartoon Network has some hilarious shows. One called “Aqua teen Hunger Force” has been out for a few years but they decided to drum up some attention for it using a viral marketing campain. They made signs about 1′ x 1′ that had lights in the shape of a couple characters from the show and attached magnets on them so they could set them in random places in 10 cities.
They were just signs with lights.
People thought they were great. The main fanbase for these shows totally appreciates clever, subtle gestures like this.
Boston, on the other hand, thought they were here to destroy the world.
They called in the police, homeland security, and basically everyone but the troops stationed in Iraq in order to neutralize these “im’nent terr’ist threats” as our President would say.
What caused them to think they were dangerous? According to authorities they had “components consistent with improvised explosive devices.”
Those components were:
Batteries
Wires
Lights
A Circuit Board
OMGHOLYSHIT I have components consistent with improvised explosive devices in my computer! Hold on- SHIT- there’s some in my TV too! Call DHS- I looked under the hood of my car and I’ll be damned if the terrorists didn’t place some suspicious compenents there too!
Witness the placing of these horrifying signs below. If you dare.
