The Opposite of Food Porn

America takes 20 leaps forward by electing a Biracial president...correction a FINE ASS Biracial President

Then a Greenwich Village Bakery takes 5 steps back with the

DRUNKEN NEGRO FACE COOKIE!!

OMG!! Racists everywhere now have an Official Snack.

I hate that I had to get the video from World Star HipHop.com and FOX 5......two of my sworn enemies. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

Roll the tape....

The damn cookie doesn't even look appetizing....but that Dead Goose bread sure is sexy!!

And how is he gonna say that he has asked Black people if they found the cookie offensive?!?!
Did he ask all Black people?!? I'm sorry, I must've missed that knock on my door (I prolly thought he was a Jehovah's Witness).

After careful and repeated screenings of this video, it is beyond the shadow of a doubt that this man is INSANE. His food handler license needs to be revoked and he needs to hauled off to the loony bin.


PS: Did I mention that hes charging $3.50 for his "work of art"..... Just plain ole' crazy.

Pirates in 2008.....really now?!?

Ya gots to be shittin' me......
AP News Wire reported this morning that pirates (thats right ladies and gentlemen, PIRATES), attacked a US cruise ship in an attempted hijacking.

(Pause for effect)



The M/S Nautica, on a 32 day cruise from Rome to Singapore, was off the shores of Somalia when two pirate-carrying speed boats opened fire. I couldn't make this shit up people even if I tried.

Its 2008 y'all. Mofos barely 'jack cars anymore much less mutha-effing ocean liners.
Is the economy really that bad and we have to resort to Prehistoric crimes to make ends meet? Let me guess...next they're gonna start stealing livers and kidneys or some other ancient nonsense.

Thievery is never the answer....We all tryna make a dollar out of 15 cents dammit!!

Yes, I am a Deadbeat Blogger

Hey Snobbers,
So I know i've been hella delinquent with my blogging lately.
Everytime I fall behind and neglect my blog, I always feel this sense of immense guilt and horribleness...sort of like those parents who leave their 3 year old children home alone. Or better yet, one of those parents who drive their car with a baby in their lap....


And then to make matters worse, I feel like I need some amazing and totally justifiable excuse when I actually do return....
Well, f%ck that.
I'm back. No excuse needed...no sob story....no promise that I'll be a better parent next time. Nope.

Remember Snobbers: There is always redemption for the fallen. Roll the Tape!!

Do you recall this debacle in 2007?

Now lets look at 2008

She looks just as confused as the rest of us!! Prolly has no idea where she is or what she got these awards for....

Anyway,
I'M BACK!!

PS: And thanks to all of y'all for checking in daily to see what the hell up been up to. I see you, supporting a sista!! Appprec!

All Types of Wrong!!!

So I been super lazy lately and lacking any real inspiration, but then I saw this picture.
Ladies and Gentlemen The next candidate up for a Slaaaaping is none other than our favorite Custy,


I'm totally speechless. Consider this Scared Straight for the next time someone offers you recreational drugs.....
Drugs are like that dominating boyfriend. They start off as something to do on weekends and next thing you know you been fired from your job for stealing $10.. for the 3rd time, your mama won't return your calls and actually gets that restraining order shes been yapping about for the longest, no wants to hang out with cuz u smell and can't form an intelligible sentence, your cat has moved out.... You get my drift.

NOT A GOOD LOOK AMY!!

Besides.... put that worn-out beat-down tired-ass vadge away.
Scaring people like that. Nobody thinks of crackheads as sexual beings, so stop making our eyes burn and COVER UP!

More like Jacob the Jailer....

If you take a moment to scroll down you'll notice that I've placed mad labels on this post. I guess I'm having a hard time categorizing this foolishness.

(In)Famous jeweler of the Hip Hop Glitterati, Jacob Arabov aka Jacob the Jeweler, was sentenced to 30 months in prison and was slapped with a 2 million dollar fine this week.

"I got that work!!"

The crime?? Laundering Money, to the tune of over $270 million in narcotics earnings for a Detroit-based drug ring. No, that wasn't a typo...I said Detroit Drug Ring Fool!!!

My 2 cents: if hes working with over 270 million, you're only gonna fine him 2 million???
I can't get over the whole drug ring thing (unintentional rhyming, my bad).
I knew his ass was a little to interested in rap music.

Shit, I'm been Black since I was born and truthfully, I'm over rap music.

Is it something in the Water??

What in the world is going on?!?!

First there was Eliot Spitzer and Ashley Dupre,

(Spitzer discussing his manhood)




Then there was David Patterson and his God-Knows-How-Many Woman

(His wife looks like shes about to slap him)



Now Sharpe James and Tamika Riley....



And have you heard the charges...

1. Mail Fraud
2. Misapplication of Federal Funds
3. Tax Fraud and Evasion
4. Finally...Section 8 Housing Fraud

Does no one respect the Holy Union of Marriage? How about a Public Position???
Not even a little bit...
These folks are reckless!

So now they're exporting their nonsense....

Hey Snobbers,
So apparently someone goofed up let BET
(supposedly Black Entertainment Television, But i beg to differ) start broadcasting in the United Kingdom.



I will keep my opinion of BET to a 3 word minimum (my libel charges are still pending.)
I DESPISE THEM. PERIOD







Watch out UK Negroes...Debra Lee and Bob Johnson are coming to corrupt your youth, have your daughters dancing like strippers, and have your sons acting the fool.

You've been warned. So please turn the the TV off, invest in books, and family togetherness time.

And if you're having second thoughts or don't find my humble argument convincing enough, watch this clip of The Boondocks, The Hunger Strike Episode, that was banned because of its scathing yet true critique of the network.

Claire Huxtable, come get your Husband!!!

I'm sure you guys have heard about this by now, but I'll go ahead anyway.
Actor and Comedian Bill Cosby is rumored to be releasing his first Rap Album.
(Pause for effect...)
The album is said to cover such topics as Proper Parenting, Teen Pregnancy, Drug Abuse, Black on Black crime and a host of other things that Black People and Minorites need to hear (truthfully, it is).

No release date has been set yet. and i'm sure puffy will be producing at least one track on the album (hey its still all about the Benjamins yo!! Take That! Take That!)

(Side Note: this pic is gay as all hell!)

Here is the link to the AllHipHop.com article that started the buzz.

By the way those weren't chocolate chips....

Well it seems like their bad business practices have come home to roost and The Department of Health just wasn't havin' it!!



The Cake Man Raven "bakery" (we'll discuss that title bakery in a few...) of Fort Greene Brooklyn has been closed by the DOH. The "bakery" famous for long lines, bad service and sometimes Red Velvet Cakes, was closed last Wednesday due to, according to Cake Man aka Raven Patrick De'Sean Dennis III, "a mixup with permits" (ie: shady).
But according to a follow up that was conducted by New York Magazine, the DOH released this statement:

Cake Man Raven was closed following a routine inspection on Wednesday, January 9, 2008. The inspection revealed that Cake Man Raven was using an un-permitted commercial kitchen to prepare some of the food they were selling. In addition, fresh mice droppings were observed and cakes were not stored at the proper temperatures to prevent spoilage. In order to reopen, Cake Man Raven must rectify the violations and contact the Health Department to schedule a re-opening inspection.

Shady, trifling, just plain ole bad business!!
Unfortunately I'm not surprised that Cake Man got caught out there. He is not the greatest business man and I'm shocked that he has been open as long as he has.
Personally, I've had many run-ins with this alleged "bakery" and found them to be simply ridiculous and severely lacking in honesty and customer service (Don't tell people the cakes are being iced when ya damn well know there's no cake in the entire building!!)

For more of the testimonies of this "bakery" check out its customer review on Citysearch...all 23 of them

Questionable Cover-age

Fact #245 about Culture Snobette: I am a Newsstand Addict!!
I absolutely adore magazines and publications in general and have been known to spend large amounts of Other People's Money on my voracious mag appetite.
So as apart of my self-imposed 12 Steps, I no longer have to buy each mag that I want/NEED. Thanks to steps 6 & 7, I can now simply peruse the covers, smell the pages and leave Universal News with my fix fully satisfied.

Anyway, while browsing the racks, I came across a few covers that were questionable to say the least, and others that were in clear Violation of The Culture Code of Ethics.

First up was Marie Claire


Christina, Whoring out your pregnancy for media coverage is a sad and dangerous game...We all saw what happened to Britney.... Now they only see mommy on saturdays and sundays between 12-4.

NOT SNOB-APPROVED!

Next up is KING


Now while I don't really expect much from this urban men's mag...I do expect more from it's cover girl Angel Melaku. Her parents are Ethiopian and Trinidadian and I hope they raised her better than this. Even if she is trying to parlay this videoHo thang (and yes, i did say thang!!) into an acting, singing, heck even book deal, she must know that know one is gonna take her seriously with such a huge ass. Point blank.
For further inspection


Hate to break it to ya...but you'll be doing bootie mags and BET Uncut till that thing starts to sag.
By the way Real or Fake????

NOT SNOB-APPROVED!

Last and definitely least is XXL



Lil Wayne. I'm over it. Period.

Coming from someone that grew up on AND with hip hop, someone who pressed their face to the window as The Notorious BIG's motorcade rolled pass that bleak day in Brooklyn, someone who has walked with the Greats (okay, maybe not all of that, but I was at an LL Cool J videoshoot and shook his hand).....Lil Wayne is neither great, nor good, muchless is his crap acceptable to anyone who has even heard of the word quality.

If you wanna listen to crappy hip hop while you're up in the club (Lil John & Ying Yang Twins), or even when you're taping your friends for YouTube (Chicken Noodle Soup & Soulja Boy), that's all well and good. But please people, Please I Implore you, don't exhalt these carbon copy "rappers" to the heights of Biggie, Tupac, Big L, Rakim.

And Most importantly "DON'T BELIVE THE HYPE" - Public Enemy



DEFINITELY NOT SNOB-APPROVED!

A-Train Girl Gang Attacks....

I recently came across this article and video on the website The Smoking Gun.
A gang of teenage girls attack a grown man on the A Train in Bedstuy section of Brooklyn.


Sounds crazy right... and whats even shadier is that the video was submitted to YouTube by one of the girls, who is an aspiring video director....

Smells fishy ehh?? ...Funny either way, to me at least

Check out the video, and tell me what you think...

Acultural...Na'Meen!

so it's me, the culture snobette herself...
granted that the mission of this blog is to highlight, discuss and dissect, what we have come to know as culture; it is also incumbent upon me as auteur of this blog that i identify the absence of culture. while i truly support diversity and expressing oneself....We Will Not Tolerate Foolishness, Coonery (copyrighted by Radio Rose), or full on Asenine-ishness
(we're trying to get that one patented, you know, corner the market).
eitherway, from time to time i'll shine a light on acts, things and people that are questionable and/or unculture-rific(i'm sick with my wordplay kid!),
stay tuned snobbers
