It would almost be funny if it wasn’t so stupid. The most important question of course is, why are we interviewing DMX in the first place? I mean dude hasn’t been relevant since “Get at Me Dog” in ‘98.

Firstly, yes. Cracked is still around and it’s still funny. At least in digital form… (I’m not sure about the magazine because, frankly, I never look for it.) It seems that these days Cracked’s bread and butter is Top 10 lists of sorts, which is fine by me because I find them amusing.

Long story short, I’m reading Cracked last week when I stumble upon an article entitled “The 9 Most Racist Disney Characters”. It’s a pretty funny read that details stereotypes that appear in old disney cartoons (particularly the crows in Dumbo, I always hated them!). There are even video clips of the offenders in action! And it’s not just black people either. There are some asian, native american and arabian stereotypes for variety.

So pop over and give this article a quick read… just try not to take things too seriously. Whatever you do, don’t forward the link to Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton or we’ll be marching on the Magic Kingdom this time next week.

Yeah, even I got a little involved in the festivities today… I scared the crap out of one of my co-workers this morning. (I only wish I’d gotten it on tape!) However, only one person correctly identified the costume though. So I’m opening the challenge to our readers. The first person to guess who I’m dressed as wins a prize. (Sorry to my facebook friends, I kinda spoiled it for you guys so I have to disqualify you.)

Contest runs until 8am, Nov. 1st. So, give me your best shot.

While you’re at it, post up links to pics of your costumes. I’m interested in seeing them.

Edit: A winner has been chosen (Jinx 187) and emailed about his prize. While this was a bit spur-of-the-moment, it probably won’t be the last BB contest I run, so stay tuned. Next time there will be more lead-in so more people can enter.

In the meantime, keep sending pics of your costumes!
