15 Moments of Misery (4/28/11)

And now another 15 moments of misery...

Never being able to retire, Penn Station, Colombian warlords, torrential downpours, sewing machine accidents, leaky boats, automatically included gratuity, riding lawnmowers, misspelled road signs, drunken tourists, children who have children, desecrated graves, old men with dyed hair, propane tank explosions and meeting your husband's other wife...

This has been another 15 moments of misery

15 Moments of Misery (4/21/10)

And now another 15 moments of misery...

Needing a kidney, force-feeding your kids, white people with dreadlocks, living on a noisy block, umbrellas inverted by strong winds, couples who finish each others sentences, roid rage, sitcom laugh tracks, carbon monoxide poisoning, the global economy, malfunctioning toilets, dogs wearing sweaters, the McCarthy era, Mexican Jumping Death Spiders and  public masturbation...

This has been another 15 moments of misery

15 Moments of Misery (4/14/11)

And now another 15 moments of misery...

Diabetic cats, sales tax, public executions, road blocks, crop circles, the KGB, organic dog food, boomerang-related injuries, concerts to save the planet, eternal construction projects, abandoned gas stations, morning breath, the thirteenth floor, disbarred lawyers and running out of toilet paper...

This has been another 15 moments of misery



15 Moments of Misery (4/7/11)

And now another 15 moments of misery...

Getting stuck in the car wash, couples who never fight, tube socks, Michael Bay, stepping on a nail, down payments, kindergarten admissions tests, dying in a motel room, sunken treasure, Cousin It, Tim Curry as Pennywise the clown, roadside check points, diplomatic immunity, Homeland Security and imploded scuba divers...

This has been another 15 moments of misery

The Call of Christie!

Our latest segment, "The Call of Christie":has sparked interest amongst the Two Guys, One Mic followers. Last week we attempted to summon The Christie to come and repair Hamburg Turnpike located in Wayne, NJ. Driving on this road has become so unbearable it's easily comparable to riding The Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Great Adventure. It's not wrong to say this road is less car friendly than any road in Japan right now. Massive craters cover this road , road lines criss-cross, as well as severe flooding all through out. If you could install one those shoulder restraints from a suspension roller coaster on the inside of your car then this road would not be a problem for anyone. Tune in this Thursday, April 7th, from 6-9pm and find out what we will summon The Christie to do next. If you have anything in New Jersey you want to bitch about email us it and we'll include it in this week's "The Call of Christie".

Enemy of the State: MAVAV

This week on the show we discussed the top 10 most anticipated Xbox 360 games of 2011. We also got to talking about a group of mothers who think that video games are the worst thing ever created since child pornography. We're talking about Mothers Against Videogame Addiction and Violence. We know we like to call out all sorts of groups for being ridiculous or over-the-top fanatical about their ideals, and we do it all in fun (minus the West Boro Baptist Church, fuck those crazies). But some people have to take the reality of things to the next level and ruin all the fun for the rest of us.

Case and point: The MAVAV. This group of renegade mothers can only be explained by their groups mission statement:

     Video game addiction is without a doubt, becoming this century's most increasingly worrisome epidemic, comparable even to drug and alcohol abuse. All the while, the video game industry continues to market and promote hatred, racism, sexism, and the most disturbing trend: clans and guilds, an underground video game phenomenon which closely resembles gangs. Parents NEED to be aware of the hidden dangers.


These mothers are so out of touch with reality, they just compared  video games to drug and alcohol abuse! Albeit, people with addictive personalities will sometimes take things to an extreme level. But holy shit, kids who play Halo and Call of Duty aren't shooting up heroine between their toes (and when some news story comes along that shows this trend, we'll shut up)!

The mission statement also goes on to compare clans and guilds to real life gangs. For some reason, we can't see the Crips and the Bloods trolling World of Warcraft. People are playing and game and interacting in a fantasy world for fun. The same thing can be said for people who participate in fantasy football/baseball/hockey teams each season. Most of these individuals aren't brandishing weapons and robbing liquor stores.

So let's just say this: video games are not some global pandemic that is poisoning the minds of children. If you're a parent, please have a brain about things and be rational. Don't let your kids play violent games until you think they are mature enough to handle them. And if they hold up a liquor store, buy some black market weapons and decide to start the north NJ chapter of the Bloods in your neighborhood, chances are they don't have time to go achievement hunting on their Xbox 360.
