National Urban League Furious Over Nike Release Of Expensive Sneakers The National Urban League is speaking out against Nike and their upcoming release of the most expensive shoe in Nike history at a whopping $315. Nike’s basketball ads in the 1980s and early 90s featuring Michael Jordan and Spike Lee’s alter ego Mars Blackmon popularized the famous line “Money, it’s gotta be the shoes!” Fast forward to 2012 – Nike is still selling sneakers and charging big-time money for them. This fall, the sneaker giant is expected to unveil its ‘LeBron X’ sneaker and if you want to wear them, it will cost a cool $315 according to the Wall Street Journal. The National Urban League wants no part of it. The civil rights organization has slammed Nike for charging so much for the shoe and is encouraging parents not to spend their money on an “empty status symbol.” The group’s president Marc Morial has asked Nike to scrap its plans to release the show altogether: “I ask Nike – and the parents whose children are targeted in this misdirected campaign – to join us in our efforts to empower young people to value their own talents – athletic and otherwise – above material tokens and work together for broader access to the economic mainstream.” The urban league released a statement earlier today, where Morial describes the LeBron James sneaker as representing “twisted priorities and confused values.” Earlier in the statement, Morial says: “To release such an outrageously overpriced product while the nation is struggling to overcome an unemployment crisis is insensitive at best.” According to the Wall Street Journal, this version of the ‘LeBron X’ sneaker includes its own electronics and will be the most expensive shoe in Nike history. Would you buy these for your child or let them spend their hard earned money to purchase them? Source

For the past few years I’ve had the honor of joining the annual Masters of the Web panel at Comic-Con, a confab of journalists and bloggers from the online film community sharing our experiences in web journalism, troll-taming, geek-baiting, etc. This year I’ll be returning to the panel, joined by a gaggle of fine web masters and mistresses… along with a special guest moderator: Karl Urban , star of Dredd 3-D . (Hit the jump for a chance to snag tickets to a special just-announced Comic-Con Dredd 3-D screening.) The panel has hosted a number of celebrity moderators before; inviting filmmakers like Edgar Wright and Bob Orci to turn the tables on the journalists who’d covered their films — and in some cases, panned them outright — made for interesting conversation, and wasn’t quite as awkward as you’d imagine. Urban, in town to present footage from Dredd 3-D , will get his turn to grill us at the podium this year. (Maybe he’ll wear his Dredd helmet! Can we ask him to do the whole thing in Bones-speak? Oh, the possibilities…) Dredd 3-D , meanwhile, will be unveiled in a special sneak screening on Wednesday at Comic-Con — and Movieline has five pairs of tickets to give away. Am I bribing you with advance tickets so that you’ll come to my panel, even though you’re only beholden to the honor system since the panel happens the day after the screening? Yes. Yes, I am. Don’t make me regret it. The first five people who comment below, promise to come to the Masters of the Web panel on Thursday at Comic-Con, and lay claim to a pair of VIP tickets, will get them. (Make sure to sign in with your email address and full name.) Screening info (more at www.JudgementIsComing.com ): Lionsgate is kicking off San Diego Comic Con 2012 with an Advance Screening of Dredd 3D Presented by Masters of the Web Wednesday, July 11th, 10:00pm Reading Cinemas Gaslamp. 701 5th Ave., San Diego But back to the Masters of the Web. The reason I love being a part of this panel every year, aside from the fact that I know each and every one of the folks joining me up there — friends, peers, competitors, karaoke buddies — is that it gives us the rare chance to take the pulse of the online space, from a behind-the-scenes perspective, as representatives of a relatively young community of writers and editors. The online blogging world has evolved so fast in the past decade alone, not only technically speaking but in terms of audience, engagement, ethics, and the significance of online reporting alongside traditional media, that this once-a-year gathering at the geekiest pop culture event of the year has the potential to touch on vital and interesting conversations, for web “masters” and readers alike. To whom are we most accountable? What tools are most useful to us? How do we acknowledge the looming presence and expectations of studios who give us access to their films (or, you know, arrange for special guest moderators and sneak screenings at special events)? Ahem. Perhaps we’ll touch on issues like those in the panel. Or maybe we’ll hound Urban for Lord of the Rings stories. Who knows? IT COULD GET CRAZY! Plus, attendees at the panel will receive free movie passes courtesy of panel sponsor AMC. See, guys? You get to peek into our lives and get free movies. Win-win! So: Mark your calendars. Thursday. Comic-Con. 4:30-5:30pm. Room 24ABC.

There is no disputing that that Cash Money Records founders Bryan “Baby” Williams and Ronald “Slim” Williams are Hip-Hop power players, annually. So it shouldn’t be a surprised that the two brothers and music moguls are on the cover of Billboard Magazine’s Urban Power Issue… Continue
Gisele Bundchen got fired from Victoria’s Secret for a possible scandal I made up to make her story more interesting, you know that she was born a man and that it was gonna hit when the whole pregnancy happened and doctors were interviewed, because it was around that time Victoria’s Secret cut ties with her, making me think that was the only possible reason….born with a cock.. Well she’s gone on to do her own lingerie line and these are some of the pics of her looking hotter than ever…I guess the pregnancy gave her needed hormones to help her finally choose her gender… TO SEE GISELE IN SHORT SHORTS ON SET OF SOME BULLSHIT SHE’S GETTING PAID TOO MUCH TO DO FOLLOW THIS LINK
Billionaire pussy is alright if you can get past the whole high maintenance spoiled brat, ridiculousness of the whole thing…I mean it is far easier to please a poor chick who gets excited when you buy her a chocolate bar, while billionaire pussy isn’t phased by much….but if you find yourself solid damaged and tormented billionaire pussy who wants to take you along for the ride of your life with their daddy’s money…why not go for it, K-Fed that shit and ride it out like it was the family jet, cuz you know what, rich or not, girls are all fucking crazy… So here is spoiled as fuck Tamara Ecclestone, her daddy owns the Grand Prix, in a bikini top, showing her fake tits, and hiding her dumpy ass cuz she didn’t have time for LIPO this week….and hitting the gym is too much work for someone who has never worked a day in her life… TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS FOLLOW THIS LINK
Julianne Hough was caught on set of some shitty movie she’s managed to get cast in, probably thanks to being the front for Ryan Seacrest’s homosexuality by pretnding to be his girlfriend…..having a bit of an upskirt… I don’t entirely consider it an upskirt when the bitch is wearing spanx…they lopok lke fucking bike shorts…if anything it’s a fucking disgrace and disappointment…because she’s a professional dancer and the last bitch who should be in SPANX….. It discounts her booty as she runs, it ruins everyhting….not that she didn’t already do a good enough job of that on her own, I mean any pro dancer who isn’t a stripper who never was but should of been who has made it as a pro dancer….pisses me off before she even started….cuz a stripper lost to the mainstream is a tragedy for the community…right?

There are too many fat chicks in the world. They complain. They pretend they try to eat well. They pretend they eat well as they suck down a 1000 calorie frozen coffee drink. But the truth is that they just aren’t fucking committed to the cause. They are fakes, they are lies, they live in chubby untoned fantasy land…they are weak, they are excuse makers, they are disappointments to the urban landscape…they fucking suck…. But every once in a while a ripped body like Stacy Keibler comes around to remind us that not every bitch is a slacker slob excuse maker, and some are in fact into looking good… I guess that’s why she fucks Clooney….and your fat ass doesn’t…fatty.
