I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.

To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

Thumbs up for Kid Notorious Comedy Central premiered a new animated comedy Wednesday night, 10-22-03. I vote thumbs up!
Kid Notorious relates the adventures of a Hollywood producer. The cheerful cynicism of the title character comes with a swashbuckling sense of adventure.
Part of that pirate ethic comes out in the provocative ethnic humor. Bloods and Crips are enacting a hip-hop Broadway musical rendition of The Godfather (including a huge prop dismembered horse head hanging over the stage) while Italian mafiosos chase the Kid through the rafters, ready to shoot him over a bad investment in a Sharon Stone picture.
Kid Notorious finds himself routinely juggling ethnic issues like they were just so many over-inflated movie star egos. The "olive oil leg breakers" are OUTRAGED that another ethnic group would defile the sacred Godfather material- and are only belatedly consoled by the fact that it (naturally) turns out to be a money making hit for them. The mafia "goombahs" specifically identify the Kid himself as Hebrew, natch.
The whole thing comes out pretty funny, especially the Sharon Stone satire, particularly her one woman Broadway production of the Vagina monologues as Sharon Stone's Vagina. As Kid Notorious notes, "We've all seen Sharon Stone's vagina- and it can't act either."
The special breakout star of the show could turn out to be the Kid's non-talking kitten, Puss Puss. In this pilot, Puss Puss starts going into gangsta mode in sympathy with the Bloods and Crips they're hanging with. Puss Puss particularly amused me by pistol whipping their butler, English. Also, naturally Puss Puss was down with the chronic.
We'll see if they can consistently maintain the high amusement factor of the pilot. So far, so good. I for one will be looking forward to the next episode.
There are no product listings for this new series, so I've included a couple of movies actually produced by Robert Evans, the voice and namesake for Kid Notorious. [Kid Notorious answers to the name Robert Evans in the show.]
