Joker Of The Week Nods

Hello bloggers,


This week will leave you scratching your head as to who to vote for. So many contenders and so little time....



  • NY Post - For publishing that tacky, racist cartoon regarding Obama, a chimp and the stimulus bill. (See Post Below).


  • Chris Brown - IF that picture of Rihanna's battered face pic from http://www.tmz.com/ is real then he needs to do more than give a general apology and talk about his pastor....I know he's young, but that picture of a battered Rihanna just saddened me and there is no excuse for that kind of violence. None.

  • Roland Burris - For accepting the Senate nomination from shady Blagojevich and now having his "dirt" come out of the closet (i.e. he tried to fund raise for Blago right around the time it was clear Senator Obama would become President Obama and leave a vacant seat in the Senate). Old and shady.


  • Luther Campbell - For being arrested for being a deadbeat dad and owing $10,266.36 in back child support. Pay for your kids Me So Horny!

Last Minute Honorable Mention - Terrence Howard - For saying in response to the Chrianna debacle - "It's just life, man. Chris is a great guy. He'll be alright. And Rihanna knows he loves her, you know? They'll be alright." Maybe he should have just kept his mouth shut since he was arrested for assaulting his estranged wife back in '01....

(Per Smarty Jones' suggestion, I've removed the Rihanna pic. I think it's news that should be covered, buuuut I don't want to further victimize Rih Rih.)

On a more positive note, this week's winners? The fab ladies who attended the Essence Ladies Luncheon.

This one is a tough call...

How does a that picture...taken by the LAPD...get released to the media.

The winner has to be the NY Post. Racist bazztahdz!

TravelDiva said...

Yeah--apparently they are doing an investigation. This is scandalous. I knew it eventually would get out because the media would not rest until it did. But SOMEBODY got some money on the side.

Tiffany S. Jones said...

Alight, TravelDiva, you're my girl and a bag of pearls, but I gotta give you an honorable mention for reposting that picture. LoL.
In that siutation, I think the real joker is TMZ, and you like all the credible media outlets have fallen victim to a need to know.
Under NO circumstances should a picture of a victim of a crime be released! I hope they find the fool who leaked it and promptly fire their ass!
I work for a paper that doesn't name victims unless the victim comes forward to us or unless the info has been released by the AP or something.
Posting that photo was low for even TMZ. I'm pissed about that, probably more pissed than I am about the NY Post thing.
Don't get me wrong, they were dead ass wrong, but the President isn't pissed about it and I think we and Al Farton, as The Jaded NYer calls him, should take our cues from the President and ignore the ignorance.
That is all.

Tiffany S. Jones said...

OK, I just saw your honorable mention and I will withdraw my nod for your honorable mention and just call Howard the damn Joker!
Who says that?! And to think, he used to be sexy to me. Ugh!

Product Junkie Diva said...

What a tough call this week. I was really torn with this decision. I acutally changed my vote twice..lol
SOme people were trying to make an association between the monkey that went crazy in CT and eventually had to be shot by cops with this "cartoon". However the caption with this post clearly (at least in my mind) points to the president. There is just no getting around this inappropriate and offensive "cartoon". You may have also heard about the guy who created offensive cookies in NYC.
Sadly,I am not too shocked by this ignorance.

TravelDiva said...

LOL Smarty. I thought about not posting it. But, this is news, she's a celebrity and the price of fame is that everyone knows your business, the great, the good, the bad and the ugly. It is what it is. My heart does go out to Rihanna because it's bad enough to suffer this type of pain privately, but to do it publicly is even worse. But again--when you're a celebrity, your life is in the streets.

Beyond that, if Chris Brown really did do this to her, I'm glad I've seen the picture. It's not hearsay, it's not oh she gave him herpes, it's not photoshopped pics--it's real. So if CB is in This Christmas 2 or a remix or something else, I can choose not to support that or him.

TravelDiva said...

SJ - You're killing me. I gave him the HM before I saw your nod to me. LOL. Maybe I'll give myself a nod next week.

TravelDiva said...

PJD - I thought that "we are refencing the crazy chimp" story was sooo friggin' weak!

TriniTravelDiva said...

NY Post, TMZ, Chris Brown get ZERO air time from me. I think they're all despicable!

I will focus on how fabugeous the ladies look. They're all absolutely georgous!!

Although I feel for Rihanna and I hope that she gets well soon, the NY Post wins hands down!

Unknown said...

OK, after many days of thinking, I'm going to have to give it to the Post. That was such a disgusting cartoon you would have assumed it was written pre-Civil Rights movement.

(Don't you love how I treat this so seriously?)

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also [url=http://twitter.com/nivqkai]Lowest Cost Viagra in USA[/url] you can find on our sites.
Generic Viagra is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
