I love it when networks or shows take the initiative and blur the line between fiction and reality. Entourage has done this several times before and have just launched the official site for Medellin.

Go get ‘em Charlie! Ahoooooogaaaaaah!
I’m a little disturbed that the iPhone spews black blood like some kind of demon when put in a blender.
Well maybe not free beer but definitely cheap beer or just booze in general.
I stumbled across boozle.com.au that lets you ‘Search for Australia’s Cheapest Beer, Spirits and Pre-Mixed Drinks’ and from what I’ve seen it seems to do a pretty good job and covers an absolute fuckload of different beers.
So as a community service to you I present boozle.com.au
Let me know if it treats you well.
There are certain things in life that piss me off. Bad drivers, people who jump the queue, red heads and the french for example.
Now I get to add Fosters and their iconic beer VB to the list.
In what can only be seen as a greedy money grabbing move, Fosters have announced that they are dropping the alcohol content of VB by 0.1% so that they are able to save around $20 million in taxes a year.
To add salt to the already gaping wound the wholesale price of beer will rise by 2%!
VB Spokesman Mr Ben Wicks has said that the excise savings would be reinvested in the brand, particularly the new VB Midstrength and the popular annual summer promotion featuring collectible figurines.
Let me get things straight here Ben…
- I don’t drink Midstrength beer. I always drink full strength. If I wanted to drink a poor excuse for a beer I would purchase VB Midstrength. If you’re going to drop the alcohol content in anything drop it from that.
- I buy and drink your beer to get drunk. Not to play with silly little promotional toys.
- You are a gigantic tool of a man Ben.
I announce a boycott on VB effective immediately and hopefully those wine drinking CEO pigs at Fosters will understand the slight error in judgement they have made and will correct this immediately.
And to all the other brewers and beers out there don’t take the stupid actions of Fosters as an excuse to follow suit. A full strength beer should be a minimum of 4.9% period. Anything less is a joke and making us pay more for it is an insult and kick to the nuts.

For the first time ever, the Richmond Football Club has notched up over 30,000 members.
I thought it was a little amusing that what has to be one of the clubs worst seasons to date they have the most members ever which shows the support that the fans like myself have in the club come rain hail or shine.
Here’s hoping for a better second half of the season and an ever better season in 08.
This is awesome, as part of the promotion for the Simpsons Movie several 711′s in the US have been transformed into Kwik-E-Marts where you can buy Buzz Cola, Squishees and Krusty Os!
