I Love New York 2

May 8, 2007

Another season? I guess this rumor is legit. Go on to the website Ilovenewyork2.com and there’s a video on the front page (on the right) where New York tells you all about her new search for love. She is going at it again. Girl, don’t you realize noone is going to put up with your shit & noone finds love on reality TV. So if you want to be on the show and fight for New York all you have to do is upload a video, make a profile, and get people to vote for you. It says the top five misters (sorry ladies) with the most votes will be vying for New York’s affection on TV next season. So you are also able to vote on who will make it on the show. Right now, Sanjaya from American Idol is at #1. Clearly that isn’t as legit but there are quite a few guys that seem swell enough for New York. What you waiting for, help a girl out!

Ice Ice Coffee

First turbo tax, now ice coffee! Vanilla Ice is caught up in another competition almost exactly like the turbo tax one. The contest required contestants to rewrite the words of “Ice, Ice Baby”, to promote ice coffee. People took the stage for a chance to win $1000 and a year supply of ice coffee obviously. One of the contestants, Kerry Michaels, dropped the line “Word to your cruller!,” probably the coolest shit I’ve heard all day.


Infamous Vanilla Tax Rap

March 15, 2007

“I swoop on suckas like an eagle not a sparrow” - Classic!

Think you can rap better than Vanilla Ice? Everyone does apparently and for some reason a lot of individuals claim their grandmas rap better than the Ice Man in the comment section. I honestly don’t think my grandmother has even heard of Tupac, maybe Vanilla though. Was it really necessary for him to drop the f bomb in there? All you got to do in this contest  is submit your very own tax rap for TurboTax and you can win $25,000. That’s a lot of ice ice, baby. Basically your competition is the Vanilla Man and the many, many thirty year old white guys that will make a parody video. Be sure to represent in your funky hip-hop apparel.

I actually got to hand it to Mr. Robert Van Winkle, I love him on the Surreal Life Games. I am a complete sucker for “I Love New York” and “Egotrip’s White Rapper Show” had me hooked. Rob is the only contestant worth watching on the show. He’s a little a bitch, “so white, white baby”.

Listen for 1:00 - ”Go White Boy, Go White Boy Go”


Andrew WK Scavenger Hunt

Midnight Scavenger Hunt
Friday, March 16th / 9 pm / Austin, TX
Hosted by Andrew WK

All ages event open to the public. It’s pretty freaking crazy if you ask me. The grand prize is $1,000 cash and a 20 minute slot before the Walkmen, at the Mess with Texas party at Red Seven. You get to share the stage with The Walkmen, David freaking Cross, the Black Lips, The Apples in Stereo, Patton Oswalt, & more.

Here are some things we recommend you bring to the hunt:

-a backpack or hand bag to carry the items
-a camera.

Some of the items involve taking photographs. You can use a digital camera but you will receive 15 extra points if you use Polaroid film.

The concept for the scavenger hunt is simple…

Teams are made up of 1 to 5 people.
Each team is given the same list of fifty items.
Each item is worth a certain amount of points.
The team at the end with the most points wins the grand prize.

The Sign Up for the “Midnight Scavenger Hunt” will take place at the Lamar Pedestrian Bridge from 8:00pm to 9:00pm. The Lamar Pedestrian Bridge is located between Cesar Chavez St and Riverside Drive on Lamar Blvd in downtown

At 9:00pm sharp the list for the scavenger hunt will be passed out.

The teams will have till 11:00pm to get as many of the items on the list as they can.

Here are some examples of the things that were on the list for the LA Scavenger Hunt:

-Kiss a senior citizen and get polaroid evidence of it. +75 points
-A Tooth +15 points
-One team member getting a flat top with their name shaved into the back of their head +55 Points
-A Brazilian Flag +10 points
-Each team member getting cornrows and extended finger nails. +100 points
-An empty bottle of Absinthe +25 points
-A pair of roller skates. +10 points

You get the idea.
