I ran across this new site, InstantAction.com, which is a new video gaming site that allows you to play various multiplayer games online for free. It’s kind of like having an xBox360 online, in that you can play against other people around the world in real time and let’s not forget the games you get to play have some nice graphics that are on par with some of today’s premier video game consoles. I don’t know why someone didn’t think of this earlier as the technology to provide this kind of system has been around for a few years and anyway who wants to play pacman all day?

The only draw back is that there are currently only a few games added such as Marble Blast Online, Think Tanks, Cyclomite and Screw Jumper. These games look like to be just there way of “testing the system”, before they unveil more bigger games as the “coming soon” section features even better games. I had fun playing all of them as again the graphics are pretty slick for a real time online game.

Looking to beat a boring school/work day? Check out InstantAction.com sign up is free.

I have no clue how I found this site, oh wait I was google’ing white oppression and came across, StuffWhitePeopleLike.com and as the name suggest is a blog type site about things white folk like. More specifically it chronicles the behavior of white people in their natural setting in a way that helps to educate us, less than worthy, non-whites.

The site has only been around for a month, but has already generated over a million hits. The writing is incredibly detailed and can only have been written by a white person, though it comes off as advice from someone who is not white. This site appears to build on the popularity that Blackpeopleloveus.com generated a few years back in the white internet world.

As the site pokes fun at white culture, it is interesting to note that the majority white browsers do not feel discriminated against, in fact, from looking over the comments most white people are in total agreement with the author. I personally was laughing my ass off, cause this site is 100% true about them crazy ass crackers.

Here are some links and excerpts to some of the funnier articles;

#47 Arts Degrees

When white people go away to college, they tend to study what are knowns as the Arts. This includes actual Art, English, History, Classics, and Philosophy. These can of course be broken down further into Film, Womyn’s Studies (yes the spelling is correct), Communications, Gender Studies, and so forth. It is important to note that a high percentage of white people also get degrees in Political Science, which is pretty much like arts, and only seems to have the word “science” in it to make white people feel better about themselves.

These degrees enable white people to spend four yeas of their lives reading books, writing papers and feeling great about themselves. It is a known fact that Arts students firmly believe that they are doing you/society a favor by not getting a job and reading Proust. They use this to protest for reduced tuition, more money for the arts, and special reduced student rates on things like bus passes.

#53 Dogs

It should be understood that in white culture, dogs are considered training for having children. That is to say that any white couple must get a dog before they have kids. This will prepare them for responsibility by having another creature to feed, supervise it’s bathroom activities, and to love. Because of this, white people generally assume that their dog is their favorite child unless otherwise stated.

When actual children are born, the dog is not displaced but rather remains as the most important member of the household. This is because of the fact that white children will eventually hate their parents, but dogs will love anyone who feeds them.

I think this white dude liked dogs a little too much.

#56 Lawyers

A common characteristic amongst white people is the need to over analyze things, so they partake in activities such as therapy, writing a blog, or becoming an arts major. So its rather obvious why white people love lawyers so much as it is the one profession that has mastered the art of “over analyzing things”. Even though most disputes can be resolved through reason, unselfishness, and / or a google search, white people would prefer to take things to court or have something in writing. Lawyers are seen as the ultimate problem solvers and “the law” is seen as the be all, end all, of resolving all the world’s ills. In fact white people tend to have better relationships with their lawyers than with family members or friends. Please note that when around white people, that it is social suicide to admit or state that you don’t have a regular lawyer.

But perhaps the one main reason why white people love lawyers is the sense that they are giving back to the community. Most white people major in the arts, and law school is pretty much the only option for anyone with a BA that wants a decent paying job. Basically this love of the law is keeping the demand for lawyers much higher than it should be. So paying lawyer fees to settle the smallest problem, is the white person equivalent of Warrick Dunn building homes for low income families.

PS: I would make a StuffBlackPeopleLike.com but Al Sharpton & Co would shut that shit down.

If you haven’t heard about Adultfriendfinder.com, you’ve surely seen their ads on websites. They are the ads with the half nude girls that live in your city and waiting for you. Anyway, in keeping with my tradition of testing how such sites, I decided to check out this one as I recently read they were bought by Penthouse magazine for a cool $500 million. And you know me when this kind of monies involved it made me think this is actually a business thats working. But how?

Signing up

First of all signing up was kind of a hassle as your asked to fill the regular info plus fill in a introduction message announcing your joining to the site. I had no problem with this, it was just annoying that it had to be set defined character amount, it was something like 50 characters. I wrote something like, “Which bad chick wanna get hit from the back?”. Whaa, honest question.

Once you sign in you are brought to an “order form” page that shows you the various membership plans for different periods of time. You don’t have to purchase any of the plans but it does give you more access to other members, such as to view and contact members, get priority searching and get full access to other members videos, and access to larger high quality pictures. Let’s do a search first.

This is not google search

The first thing you do when you get to any social networking site is to do a search, “hey is anyone else on this thing?”. The search feature on this is slightly different as you can specify exactly what you want and by exactly I mean what’s your pleasure. For example, here’s some of the options you can choose from to help your search:

1-on-1 sex
Bondage & Discipline
Cross-Dressing
Discreet Relationship
Erotic Chat/Email/Phone Fantasies
Exhibitionism & Voyeurism
Group sex(3 or more)
Miscellaneous Fetishes
Other “Alternative” Activities
Sadism & Masochism

Okay, “1-on-1″ is just fine for me. Now hit search and watch all hell breaks lose. My screen was filled with close up shots of things that start with “p” and rhyme with “mussy” and of course boobs. There were also full body shots and I must say the women offering themselves in my area ain’t that bad looking. Even though, they looked like quasi-strippers it was still a turn on. Okay now for the moment of truth, click on a pic and…

Are those real? Can I touch ‘em?

The profile looked really real. I always had a suspicion that this profiles were fake or were paid strippers and up and coming porn stars, maybe some of them are, but this chick was just real enough to be real. Also consider the fact, Penthouse mag bought this site for half a billion so you know this has to be a credible site in terms of generating revenue and any profitable business is not going to screw over its customers -at least that’s what I’ve always thought.

Anyway, I think paid porn sites on the net are going to die and sites like these are going to takeover, which is probably why Penthouse made the acquisition. The surprising thing about this site is the amount of sex starved women there are in this world, my fellows yall need to get on your job. So if you want to meet women that are really ’bout it, ’bout it, give Adultfriendfinder.com a shot, it’s free to sign up and search.

Aight my dudes the site I got for you today is called Fling.com. It’s a fairly new site, but is one of the fastest growing sites on the net. The premise of the site is simple, you hook up with some seriously sexy chicks. It’s sorta like OnlineBootyCall but a little better because the girls are not as old and actually are around our age (i.e. early 20s).

There’s a lot of fine girls on this site and I suspect this is the reason for its fast growth. And even though I titled this “Easy White Girl Booty” theres some fine Spanish and Black chicks that could get it too.

Another thing that’s good about this site is signing up is mad easy and is of course FREE. It’s just one simple page, no nonsense. So check out Fling.com and get ya fling on.

Imagine if you could get easy money just by writing lyrics? I’m sure many up and coming rappers know the feeling as studio time and beats don’t come cheap. Well the folks over at www.poetry.com hope to help put some cash into those pockets as long as you got the skills. You see every month they give away any where from $1,000 to $10,000 a week just for submitting your poems. In fact, this coming year they plan on giving over $100,000 away. Now if you have raps that are poem-like and actually paint a picture you could have a chance at winning some serious cash.

How does it work? All you have to do is submit an original rap thats about 24 lines or fewer with a maximum of 65 characters. You are then automatically entered to compete in two contests. The first prize is for $1,000 and is like the people’s choice awards which is judged by viewers from all over the world. The second prize is for $10,000 which is judged by a panel of editors from www.poetry.com. These contests run every month so you have a chance every month to win.

This looks like easy money for anyone with real skills as the previous winners look like suburban stay home moms with nothing better to do -writing fluff rhymes about their pet cat and their daughter’s soccer practice. To enter a rap just go to www.poetry.com. Good luck and if you do win remember to hit me off with 10%!

With Christmas within less than a month (is it that time already?) and the holiday season in full gear I’m sure your mom, sister and girlfriend are all about getting the “right” gifts for everyone (which is a thinly disguised plot to shop more) and your dumb ass is waiting for the 24th to pick something up for them so you don’t feel embarrassed come Christmas day (I’m speaking on personal experience here). If your like me and money is always tight, DVDs are probably the cheapest thing to get anyone. Everyone likes movies and has their own personal favorites, all you have to do is get the right movie for the right person. In order words, don’t get your mom 300 unless she likes a movie about 300 half naked roman soldiers mercilessly slaying mythical creatures and barbarians (on second thought).

You see the personal aspect of selecting a movie that your special someone likes will get you the Christmas glory, you know the “Oh I love this” and the “Wow this is my favorite movie” and my personal favorite “Oh how thoughtful”. At the same time getting some DVDs wont really burn away all your holiday beer and weed month either (or your holiday strip club money). So I looked into which place is giving the best deal for DVDs and came across our old time favorite ColumbiaHouse.com.

For those of you too young too remember ColumbiaHouse.com used to send those cool ads to your house with all the pictures of album covers telling you to get 100 cds for 1 penny (something like that). Well now with the overwhelming popularity of cds (sarcasm), ColumbiaHouse.com has jumped into the world of DVDs. Since you can’t exactly give your girlfriend a bootleg copy of The Notebook (well you can, but you’ll probably be alone by New Years), you have to buy the real thing. DVDs sell for any where between $5 for real old movies at Walmart to $40 for brand new DVDs with the special fx surround sound thing a ma jigs. But usually they are around $20 to $30. So if you have to buy say five DVDs your probably going to spend over $100.00. How can you cut costs?

ColumbiaHouse.comhas a deal where you get five DVDs for .49 cents with free shipping for all five DVDs. All you have to do is you pick up another five DVDs for around $19.95 within the next two years. So let’s do the math…

1) 5 DVDs * .49 cents = $2.45

2) 5 DVDs * $19.95 = $99.75
Now shipping depends on where you live but at most it should be $5 = $25

3) Sub Total= $2.45 + $99.75 + $25
Total= $127.20

So basically you are paying $127.20 for 10 DVDs over the span of the next two years. That works out to $12.72 per DVD. Ultimately you are saving about $8 to $10 then if you bought the DVD from the store which is a 68-76% discount! As for the 5 DVDs you will receive for .49 cents you can give those as Christmas presents; one for mom, one for dad, one for your sister, one for your girl and one for you. The next five DVDs you get over the next two years can be given as birthday gifts, valentine’s gifts (haha), Christmas gifts (though you will probably need to re-up on DVDs) and if you don’t feel like downloading, for yourself.

Go now and get 5 DVDs for .49 cents and finish all your Christmas shopping in one shot check out ColumbiaHouse.com.

Remember back in the day when having Nikes was the biggest thing ever? Once Nikes started releasing their lowest models to department stores it became even a bigger thing to have “Air” written across your Nikes to separate yourself from the “clearance item” Nikes. This ultimately turned kids into murderers killing for a pair of $200 Air Jordans. This shoe fetish still continues today for some, although the killing element is no longer with us.

Personally, I have a lot of really fresh sneakers that I keep in pristine condition, I don’t know what it is. I have like every kind of shoe in brand new condition and yes I do wear all of them, I just check the weather before I go out and don’t step in any dog doo-doo. I think it’s the fact that I was one of the kids whose mom couldn’t afford Nikes. Oh poor me. But now that I am a baller I suffer from that “I can buy whatever I want” mentality. Oh poor me. But anyway…

The number of companies offering exclusive Nikes, although lower now then when Nelly released that Air Force One song, is still burgeoning. Though the prices are really not justifiable unless you are a rap star, rich, or just a spoiled brat. Case in point, check out this pair of Electrical Storms Dunk High made by SBTG x DRS x MR..SK AC/DC PROJECT. They were just released today and are going for $520 a piece but there are only 6 pairs available in the whole wide world. Now that’s exclusive. There’s also a low cut Ones version if that’s your thing. You can pick these up by going here kix-files.com. And now the $520 dollar question would you cop these?

Just when I thought I’d seen it all on the internet, I find a new website solely dedicated to the pursuit of happiness. No not getting money, but getting all kinds of booty. Horny guys like you and me get to meet horny chicks and arrange what the site calls “casual dates” (read: booty calls). Thats right booty calls, one night stands, short term flings, cut buddies, whatever you want to call it just don’t call it marriage.

The site I am refering to is Mate1.com and aside from being of the most popular dating sites, they also have a unique social networking site in that your sole purpose for being on the site is to get some booty. It is straight to the point, there isn’t this feeling of surprise if you happen to sleep with someone you just met, you damn well know that once you get the talking to someone your probably going to sleep with them.

If your skeptical like me, your probably thinking there are only a handful of women on the site and zillions of guys right? So I actually signed up to the site to see if real women were on it and to my surprise there are more women than guys ready to answer that 2 am booty call. In fact, after a week of “looking” I had already arranged a few late night activities myself.

Now the quality of women and men (yeah I looked at that too for the ladies reading this) depends on your personal taste, but I saw enough sexy black, white and Spanish chicks on there that pass the “butta face” test. It also doesn’t hurt that they are all FREAKY.

Only problem with this site is you have to sign up to do a full search, but like any good social networking site, sign up is FREE. So if you want to arrange some easy booty calls join right now by clicking here Mate1.com. Trust me, you’ll thank me in a week.

—————————————————————————————————————-

If you are a hopeless romantic, here are some other more traditional dating sites. I haven’t done a formal review of them as yet, but from what I’ve heard all of them are decent and they are all fairly popular. *If your already a member of any of these sites please contact me to tell me your experience. I may use your experience in an upcoming review.

Amor
More for Latin singles or those looking for Latin lovers. Hispanic girls are sexy, so no problem finding a Dominican or Puerto Rican chick here. Another good thing about this site is that you can change the language settings from Spanish to English.

BBWPersonalsPlus
For those interested in Big Beautiful Women and Big Handsome Men. My dudes looking for voluptuous women, this is your spot.

BlackSingles
Mainstream dating site for Black people, or those looking to hook up with a Black person. This is the best site for African-Americans over the age of 25 and up as I didn’t see too many youngin’ on there.

ChristianMingle
As the title suggest, for those of the Christian faith looking for a Christian partner. This was one of the first Christian based dating sites as it has been in operation since 1996. Excellent track record, but just make sure your a real practicing Christian before you sign up.

Date
Another popular dating site with mainstream appeal, all kinds of people.

eHarmony
A popular dating site for everyone. This is probably the most brand recognized dating site, very mainstream, all the features, and a lot of different people to meet. Everyone should sign up to this one first, before narrowing their search.

InterracialMatch.com
The best, largest and most successful interracial dating site in the world.

InterracialSingles.com
This site should double as a video chick modeling agency because the mix chicks are doing it!

True
For Asians or those looking to meet an Asian. This is a good niche as it is difficult for Asians to meet other Asians particularly in North America (depends where you live).

I found this crazy offer, you get 500 songs just for entering your zip code. Only drawback is that it for U.S. residents only. So all my non-U.S. peeps are going to have to chill on this one. But this is a good offer to legally add to your music collection!

The power of the internet has created an entirely new avenue for businesses to promote their products. Along with traditional businesses, this avenue has been most utilized by independent acts (musicians and comedians), whom have used sites such as myspace and youtube as promotional vehicles in the place of traditional media (MTV and commercial radio), that would otherwise never play their stuff. The great thing about this is that where MTV and radio cannot go, internet marketing is able to go around the world and back again. This has the added effective of bringing in even more fans and ultimately more consumers. Independent artist can cut out the major record labels as they are no longer needed to develop and grow a fan base. I previously discussed the power of internet marketing as a promotional tool in the article The Rise of the Myspace Artist. [This article will focus more on the product aspect rather the promotional side.]

The problem with giving every one a voice, is that people who have yet to cultivate their talent or in other words “suck” can still be heard. And perhaps, even make money of their lack of talent (anyone remember William Hung? guys probably a coke sniffing millionaire in Hong Kong right now). Although, this is the entertainment business, and whatever is entertaining should naturally receive the most “eyeballs”, this may erode the importance of talent and artistry within this anything goes culture.

We are on a slippery slope of sorts as music and other forms of art are allowed to be promoted, before the product itself is fully developed. This means the artist actually has a talent and has something to say. Don’t get me wrong, I love the fact the internet has given power to unheard artist with talent who otherwise we would have never known about. Take Russel Peters, a famous Indo-Canadian comedian, who through the help of youtube has been able to achieve worldwide success and even sold out the Rogers Centre three days in a row. People think Russel’s success was overnight, but in actuality he had been playing small clubs for over twenty years until a few years back someone uploaded his CBC special on to youtube. But the thing with Russel Peters is that he was prepared, his talent had been cultivated over decades! It was only natural he would blow.

Every single artist must make sure their talent competes with what’s on the traditional forms of media before even attempting to make a myspace page. If you are looking for feedback from anonymous people on the internet and your product is not up to par, you run the risk of damaging your name and may even be deterred to continue developing your craft. After all internet critics are extremely harsh (ahem “YoRapper.com“) for the simple fact that there is so much crap out there. Back in the day, A&Rs would go to shows and maybe see five garbage acts per night, today I personally see 500 garbage acts online per day.

In the UK, the rise of the Indian-Urban scene has turned so many brown kids into either aspiring rappers or singers, (depending on how handsome they are and if they can sing “a” note). In the US, every single Black kid who can mumble a few words together has a myspace page claiming to be the next best thing. In Canada, it’s the same, except its dweeby white kids exercising their god given right to get their eternal wigger on. Obviously, the product has suffered substantially. Aspiring artist need to focus on competing with the big dogs in order to attain credibility in the eyes of the tastemakers. Until then, you’ll just be another target for YoRapper.

Also check out this deal for 500 free songs from Itunes (only for U.S residents). It’s good to stock up on some hard to find music, not to mention legal downloads that support the artist. Plus, Itunes makes it easier to find the damn song anyway.
