Go Go Tales to See the Light of Day (Albeit it Briefly)

As you may know, Aliquot Films distributed and I am an exec producer on Abel’s Chelsea on the Rocks.

I also made several failed attempts land a distribution deal for Go Go Tales. Unfortunately, that film will never see proper North America distribution thanks to a tightly tangled legal web. Unfortunate though, as it is quite the film!

“Are you Polish?”

Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream ‘racism’ these days.

A customer asked, “In what aisle could I find the Polish sausage?”

The clerk asks, “Are you Polish?”

The guy, clearly offended, says, “Yes I am. But let me ask you something.
If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?
Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?
Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish?
Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican?
Or if I asked for some Irish whiskey, would you ask if I was Irish?”

The clerk says, “No, I probably wouldn’t.”

The guy says, “Well then, because I asked for Polish sausage, why did you ask me if I’m Polish?”

The clerk replied, “Because you’re in Home Depot.”

Mark Zuckerberg Having a Panic Attack…

I actually disliked and kinda resented Mark Zuckerberg (for no specific reason, mostly jealousy I guess) until I saw this video. When probed about privacy issues, Mark starts to sweat profusely. Then, the host suggests he takes off his hoodie while making a suggestive comment that maybe there are some people in the audience would want to “see him take it off too…”

Ironically, where are your 500,000,000 friends when you need to be saved in “socially” awkward moment. Poor guy. Now I just feel sorry for him.
