EPISODE 211 - Gayality

from Who Asked You? · host Chasecom Media

Macs, Madonna, Munsters, milk and moron. Just a few words that sum up today's show.We'll start with Macs. Apple unveiled their new addition to the MacBook Pro line up during the WWDC conference last week. The machine wreaks of typical Apple. New connectors, impossible to upgrade, functionality sacrificed for aesthetics... oh, and as usual, horribly overpriced. They touted its new Retina display that actually doesn't display at the Retina resolution with most applications. They changed the power port so your old AC supplies won't work as back ups. They got rid of the Firewire ports, so if you want to use your Firewire devices you'll have to buy an adapter. There's also no ethernet port so if you want to hard wire your computer to the Internet, you'll have to buy an adapter. You also can't upgrade anything in it or conduct any simple repairs to it yourself. Basically, if you buy one you'll want to max out all the components at the time of purchase. That'll set you back nearly $4,000 when you throw in AppleCare (because remember, you can't repair it yourself. So AppleCare is pretty much a must) and when you add up all the stupid overpriced adapters you'll need to make it work with your existing devices. There's more to be said on the show.Next is Madonna. Evita's 15th Anniversary Edition DVD is coming out this week. This spawns a conversation about her; the good, bad and ugly moments of her career all led by the recent incident in which she flashed her old-ass boob unnecessarily to a bunch of concertgoers. No wardrobe malfunction here... just one of judgement.And now Munsters. CNN ticked a bit of news that had me rushing to my laptop for details. THE MUNSTERS reboot is well on its way to pilot. NBC could be picking it up mid-season. Herman, Lily and Grandpa have all been cast and the show is getting renamed to accommodate its new one-hour dramedy format. My god... NBC... I don't know what to say. Could you dig your hole any deeper?This brings us to milk. Scientists are always breaking new ground in research. That's why we have our According To A New Study segment. It examines these experiments, surveys and tests conducted daily around our planet. Costly, time consuming and delicate research on the most important and vital subjects that could ultimately better mankind. Take for instance two studies on beer and porn. The first looks at what scientists are calling a "miracle molecule" found in beer and milk. The molecule, they claim, could reduce your chances of obesity. Did you get that? Drinking beer and milk won't make you fat... nevermind the beer belly effect. Apparently the molecule is too finite in milk to measure and it's hard to reproduce. Scientists aren't even sure how much of it you'd need to consume to benefit from it. So buy some 12-packs of brew and some cartons of milk and start chugging. Let us know how it goes.The other study involves porn and its effects on one's state of mind. A new survey has found that watching porn could make you depressed. You'll hear the reasons why when you tune in.Our moron is a Swedish resident awarded command of the country's official Twitter account. Since December, they've been allowing a different resident to control the feed for one week. The latest twatter is a 27 year-old mother who has been tweeting her thoughts on a number of things including what a whiny son of a bitch her child is and why a circumcised penis doesn't necessarily make a guy Jewish. A model representative of Sweden and what it stands for. She also twatted a Photoshopped image of Freddie Mercury eyeing a plate of food which she calls, "Hungry Gay With Aids." A model representative indeed!
