forget it jake, it's chinatown

The Bou' quotes:

"We could have ramrodded that thing through with the mayor and the City Council, but we said, 'Let the voters decide,' " said City Councilwoman Janice Hahn. "It was an opportunity to vote, and they voted."

Before you go and think that's democracy in action in the city of angels, the Bou' wants you to know that's a reference to putting it up for a vote, the public voting it down, and Los Angeles city council and the mayor deciding to go ahead and do what they wanted all along after the public had their opportunity to vote no and then be promptly ignored.

Like the Bou' said: forget it jake, it's chinatown.

this industry ain't big enough for the boths of us

Los Angeles and Ventura counties, despite holding an industry the size of Hollywood to say nothing of 15+million people, apparently isn't big enough for two pornography companies that share the name Flynt.

Larry Flynt - of hustler industries fame -, after firing his nephews, is suing them for using the family name to make porno. I say porno instead of porn or pornography because, well, it's the Flynt family after all and they've got titles such as "Positive Exposure" and "Sex at Your Service" (I guess "sex at your cervix" was taken already).

Honestly the Bou' doesn't really no what to say about this one except pass the purell.

great

starts with homeless people and then the next thing you now Los Angeles' shanty towns will be invading actual America.

sir, you forgot your mcribs!

ah los angeles, where grown men punch teenage girls in the face (multiple times) for arguing with them about cutting in line.

safe bets those kids will blame all women for the beating they received in the car too.

The Bou' has said it before and he'll say it again: all those beef steroids are no good for developing temper management skills.

Also, the Bou' has to just say "McRib, WTF?" Some genius in Brookfield probably got a fat bonus for coming up with the idea of making a mcnugget process that could make processed red meat look like a bovine exoskeleton.

This "incident" also provides opportunity to address a key issue here - if California is kicked out of the union, won't it impact plush corporate headquarters in places like Illinois? No!! Haven't you ever heard of outsourcing? It's all the rage in sprawling suburban corporate headquarters the globe over.

The Bou' is so lovin' it.

very rich does not equal very important

So, when did being able to afford expensive tickets suddenly make someone a VIP?

I am trying to figure this out:

Former secretary general of the UN - important. yes. obviously. membership has its privileges.

50 year old housewife from the palisades who wants to see what Coachella is all about - important? no; rich. membership still has its privileges, but come on, not the same club! (hint - theirs is the Jonathan club)

So you decided to get the AMG package on your Mercedes because you might need to merge on to the 405 at 20 miles an hour, (maybe you should just get a performance brakes package instead, you live in LA after all) but why does that mean you get to hang out with former heads of state?

Also, note to Coachella management: VIP areas should have crudités. Take a note: selling VIP tickets is not the same as having VIPs. VIPs need crudités. You want a VIP area, invest in some crudités.

American Apparel

Where else but in los angeles can a CEO exploit poor mexicans, have sex with and take explicit photographs of his young employees and brand and package all of that as desirable?

NOWHERE!!!

The name should not be lost on anyone. In fact, if all goes according to plan, you may be able to force them to change their name to American Apparel of California if not to Californian Apparel.
