Missy, Ween & Weirdness
Did anybody else watch Missy Elliot on MTV Cribs last night? Hot Damn, that was quite a pad. I wish I was friends with Missy. My favorite was after showing off her all green lamborghini, she made some comment about going back to the house to “fix myself a twinkie”.
I read in Rolling Stone last night that Ween had been hired by Pizza Hut’s advertising agency to record a jingle of sorts for their overstuffed cheesy pizza. The results of which can be heard on Ween’s website here. I have no idea why the advertising agency rejected the jingle. I mean, you can’t get anymore catchy then a call and response lyric that asks, “Bitch, where the motherfucking cheese at? – I don’t know.” That’s just brilliant. I am bummed that ad will never be made.
Also decently weird is the illegal art project that features Packard Jennings prototype Pez dispensers with dead rappers like 2pac and Biggie. I think a Jam-Master-Jay modified pez dispenser that dispenses little records would be tight if the proceeds went to the right place. I also really like Hiedi Cody’s “American Alphabet”. You can see more of her work with cut up logos light-boxes and advertisements here.
For anyone looking for a catchy URL for their website and/or weblog may I please suggest streetblimp.org. It really roles off the tongue, don’t you think?
