And of course with the advent of the Internet, there is a parody of this:
I guess the moral of the story is dont mess with black people and their chicken; especially the greasy, fried, cholesterol-clogging chicken from Popeye’s …. SMH.

A deep social study may exists in analyzing why black people have flocked to Twitter. Not to dwell on that in this post, I came across a post from InyyVinny.com as they responded to an article about black people’s habits and Twitter. Anyhow, they created some creative Twitter avatars to define the ‘Black Twitterer’, I have added my commentary to each avatar, see below:
My only comment about black people and Twitter is an observation: it has been well-documented that black people are late adopters to social media; in the instances of Facebook, MySpace, and even Twitter. Its not until a high profile figure in hip-hop and/or the black community endorses or talks about a social media tool, that black people will begin to utilize it. Being a black male myself, I am impressed that we do use Twitter, as it can be a useful tool, but I too often find that we are promoting and tweeting nonesense/foolishness/tomfoolery. Its always sad when a Trending Topic is some ghetto term and/or involves the ‘N word’. I truly think that due to the short 140 characters of Twitter, it allows many people to practice online, what they do in real life – talk sh*t. Because, if you roam Twitter for even 10 minutes, you will be left with the deduction that there is a lot of sh*t talking on here.

Gotta give LeBron some credit, he has surpassed Kobe Bryant – not in championships or MVP titles, but in being the most hated player in the NBA. And with that special title comes special images to ’salute you’. With signing with the Miami Heat, LeBron is leaving Cleveland and heading to Miami to join Chris Bosh & Dwayne Wade – while leaving the city and region of Cleveland, Ohio very upset. I can’t wait until The Heat play the Cavs in the 10-11 season – LeBron better have some extra security.

A visual representation to see where you lie in the nerd-geek spectrum. Now all we need is someone to make a Nerd-geek-dweeb continuum – and we are set.

Adam Carolloa Podcast
One of the funniest podcasts on the net right now, #1 on iTunes for months. This podcast is a mix of interviews with C-list to A-list celebrities; but the show really shines when Adam goes on many of his rants; touching on everything from politics, entertainment, race issues, and pet peeves. If you are easily offended, this is not the podcast for you; but if you are not uptight and can laugh at yourself, and have fun laughing at others; you will thoroughly enjoy … get it on!
How Stuff Works Podcast
For the nerds out there, this is one of the most random, yet informative podcasts as the de-myth, investigate, and theorize about any and everything under the sun. They really do explain ‘how stuff works’; from physical things, to concepts, to historical events. Great for commutes and for the lover of knowledge.
