Flamethrowers & Full Auto Shoot via Red Bull

It really pays to be a Red Bull sponsored pro snow border.  Red Bull put out quite the spread for Louie Vito with flame throwers, full autos, and .50 cals on a really sweet looking range.  Enjoy the vid!

Epic Shotgun Fail

Warning: shotguns have recoil.  The derp family in this vid decided it was a good idea to do a little challege with a sawed off pistol grip shotgun.  Btw, isn't a sawed off shotgun one that has a short barrel (impling that barrel is sawed off), not a sawed off stock?  Anyway, this guy is lucky he didn't die when the shotgun whipped around and pwnd his face.

Action picks up at 43 seconds, and there are a few swear words in the vid...

Stay Puft Marshmallows Are REAL!

I remember watching Ghostbusters as a young lad and wondering why the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man wore a hat.  I now realize that it matches his Navy-esce uniform, but still seems strangely odd that he is devoid of almost any other clothes.

The good people of ThinkGeek have made these marshmallows a reality!  For about $8 you can get 45 mini mallows on this officially licensed Ghostbusters product.  Kind of a rip if you ask me, but I guess every die hard fan needs to put one in their glass windowed memorabilia cabinet.

My Thoughts On The Potential Ban Of CA Bullet Button

Well, the internet is all a buzz over the potential of banning the California gun owner's best friend, the bullet button.  For those of you not familiar, the really short answer is that the bullet allows Californians to own AR15s, AK47s, and various other evil looking weapons by changing the way mags are released from the rifle. 

California gun laws are very poorly written.  The state tried to ban assault weapons back in 2000, and ran into some issues.  First, CA legislators first made a list of assault weapons that were selected by make and model like a Colt AR15.  Then the firearms manufactures changed the models with new names like the "Colt Sporter" and basically worked the same way but were not illegal according to the law.  So the law makers answered back creating a certain criteria that declared a set of features that total up to equal an assault weapon.  For example the picture above shows an AR15 and a Mini 14.  They fire the same caliber, have about the same barrel length, take very similar magazines, and can both equally be fired as fast as you can pull the trigger.  According to the state of CA, the AR15 (the black rifle on top) had "features" that deemed it an assault rifle and the Mini 14 (brown rifle on the bottom) was all good.  Seem strange to you?  The two guns are equally as "dangerous" yet a piece of plastic makes one of them a felony.

As you can see in the video at the top the bullet button made a way to bring the AR15 to Californians.  What you won't see in the news video is that the flood of these LEGAL weapons into California has actually made this state money.  Jobs have been created as gun stores have expanded as well as the birthing of several CA based business that manufacture weapons accessories on CA soil.  Let's also not forgot the millions of dollars generated on tax revenue from CA residents purchasing AR15s and accessories, as well as the cash spent on background checks that the state also makes money on.  I've yet to see a host of criminals using bullet button equipped rifles to go on shooting sprees or rob banks.  It simply isn't happening folks....

The Calguns Foundation is full of intelligent and law abiding citizens who will fight this bill, and it won't become a law.  The state will waste more money chasing this "issue" down which has been prevalent for well over five years.  Rather than focus on fixing the CA economy, jobs, immigration problems, and the myriad of other problems this state faces, it will waste time and money in court trying to literally punish law abiding citizens. 

Dictator Reviewed

I feel like I could go to the movies just about every weekend, regardless if there is anything worth seeing.  I felt the tug to go to the cineplex this weekend and the choice was between The Dictator and Battleship.  Rotten Tomatoes gave me a slight push toward The Dictator and I think it was the right choice?  Check out the trailer:

The Dictator feels a lot like a collection of jokes centered around the middle east that were stretched into a thin film.  I remember laughing my ass off in Borat (and clearly avoiding Bruno), and I wished that I laughed heartily in this film.  There are a handful of funny moments which I had unfortunately already seen in the various trailers for this film.  As you would expect there isn't any big twists or turns and the story is pretty damn weak.  I expected this film to be super dirty and offensive, and despite a quick frontal nudity shot of Cohen, it was pretty bland. 

As a side note Ann Faris plays the love interest in this movie and she has never looked worse.  She looks old and ugly, and as Cohen says throughout the movie, she looks like a "young boy".  The rest of the actors in the film do an average job, and nothing really all that amazing.

I can't really recommend that you see this film, but if you're bored and want a few chuckles this might be a viable option.  It isn't necessarily bad, but don't expect to leave the theater with dried tears and a stomach ache because you were laughing too hard.
