Move over Naomi, there's a new diva in town? Hmmmm...



Naomi Campbell is threatening to sue Cadbury Chocolate. I wonder who caught the cell phone wrath. She is upset that they used her name in an ad for their Dairy Milk Bliss Bar. -Move over Naomi, there’s a new diva in town…I’m the world’s most pampered bar.

“I am shocked. It’s upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me, but for all black women and black people, …I do not find any humor in this. It is insulting and hurtful.”
A spokesperson for Cadbury says that while the ad campaign was “a light-hearted take on the social pretensions of Cadbury Dairy Milk Bliss,” the campaign was “no longer in circulation.” Some say the ad was most likely referring to Naomi’s “infamous anger issues”..full story on NY Daily News.

Activists in the UK are calling for a boycott of Cadbury…I don’t see anything wrong with the ad. Your Thoughts?


The Skinny - A New Film From Patrik-Ian Polk

What's The Skinny?!

Patrik-Ian Polk, the award-winning filmmaker behind the hit LOGO television series "Noah's Arc", is now working on a brand-new project- THE SKINNY. And it's gonna be great, but we need your help to make it happen.

THE SKINNY has been in development for two years, and the project is on the verge of being fully funded. Some amazing people have already put their support behind this movie, and now we're bringing it to the Kickstarter community to help us cross the finish line.

What's it About?

THE SKINNY tells the story of five Brown University classmates who reunite one year after graduation for Gay Pride weekend in New York City. Magnus has just completed his first year of medical school and is excited to see his friends & introduce them to his new man, Ryan. Angelic Sebastian has recently returned from a year in Paris and looks forward to finally losing his virginity. Devilish trustafarian playboy Kyle is up to his old tricks, bagging as many hot bodied men as possible. Atlanta native Joey is hiding a few secrets, not including the obvious pounds he's packed on since graduating. And acid-tongued black British lesbian Langston tries to hold her own with the boys in the Big Apple. Through three action-packed days of sex, drama, secrets, lies & laughter- these five college pals discover just how much can change in one short year. And you won't believe what goes down at the Gay Pride Parade!

Does An Individual Deserves Infinite Chances?



I honestly don't believe that a person deserves infinite chances. No matter if it is a family member or your best friend it just doesn't feel right. When you have a person who hurts you the first time, it's obvious that you would give them a second chance. When they do it the second time you give them a third chance. Then the cycle goes on and they hurt you on purpose four, five, six, seven, and a hundred times.

It's kind of crazy to me what a human can go through and how long they can take it. Some people can take over a hundred hurts and they'll be alright. That is until they explode right in front of you. After all, a human being can only take so much.

There are individuals in this world who hurts you on purpose. Then they expect you to give them another chance because of this close relationship between the two of you. Mother, father, son, best friends, neighbors, and the list goes on and on.

When it comes to life, I can't help but wonder. Does an individual deserves infinite chances?

Modern Black Male Affection


I discovered this photo on Facebook.  Apparently, some woman took this photo to share with her friends and cause a stir of hatred.  I find the photo to be a positive representation of two young men who know how to love or at least not afraid to show affection publicly.  The problem that exists in American culture especially is that the world has set Black men up to fight each other.  We see this is varies outlets boxing, football, prisons.  The images that we are used to seeing with two black men are generally those where there is some form of competition.  The woman who took the picture probably didn't expect this photo to get this much shine, but it goes to show you what technology can do.

What do you think about the photo?
