MTV in Hot Curry Over Caricature!



Apparently, India is fuming over the character of G-man in MTV's latest animated piece of shit "Clone High, USA." The character, a parody of Ghandi who wears earrings and eats fast food, caused close to 150 people to hold a hunger strike at the Ghandi Memorial.



Now I'm never one to defend the traitor to the spirit of rock and roll that is MTV, but let's just be thankful that the commercial for Ghandi II in the Weird Al epic "UHF" flew deftly under Indian radar. And if I descended from the sandy shores of Chennai, I would probably be much more offended by the character of "Ben" in the "Short Circuit" series of films than in MTV's computer generated crap-heap. That guy is one scene away from asking you if you would like a spoon-straw. I don't know when this Punjabi version of blackface that appears so prevalently in American media will ever end, but unfortunately I doubt that most of MTV's frat-boy audience could even SPELL India, much less give a fuck about how they're offending a culture....

Anyways, what am I trying to say here? ...Just another excuse to make a UHF reference on lunchboxing!

Lunchboxing's Spin Cycle



It's not very often that we here at LUBO recycle our features, but seeing as how our readership has shot up 800%* in recent weeks, it's important that we show off some of our past favorites in hopes that our new readers will email them to all their friends and family, creating a virtual maelstrom of activity for the site. Did that make sense? Virtual maelstrom of activity. Sounds kinda alright to me. Anyways, if you haven't already taken a peek at our Unfit to be Tide feature, make sure to....take a peek at our Unfit to be Tide feature. If you haven't seen the ad campaign that it parodies, then you need to leave the house every once in a while. Seriously, you can't walk a block in San Francisco or Los Angeles without seeing one of their huge orange/yellow ads on a billboard or a passing bus. Note-If you find these actual ads entertaining, then you probably don't have the sense of humor necessary to enjoy this. Still, send it to everyone you know in order to increase our traffic here, thus improving our chances of becoming multi-millionaires. Thank you.

*Estimated increase. I wasn't a trigonometry major in college.

Jamie Goes to Hollywood...Again!



People love romantic comedies. All people. I mean, of course they do! Everyone has romance in their life, and everyone knows that there is always something funny afoot in any relationship! And in every case of love I've ever known, it always works out in the end, which is why people can relate to the romantic comedy genre of film: it mirrors life flawlessly. So click on the Jason Betrue produced movie poster above, and take a peek at the movie I am trying to sell in Hollywood!

State of Lunchboxing Address



I don't like to think of lunchboxing as a left or right winged site. I like to think of it as a fun-winged site! And what do fun-winged sites like to do?? Take flight and soar into the wind, like endangered flying animals. Well, this site likes to do that anyways. Literally. So with no further ado, the Official State of Lunchboxing Address:

Friends, Family, Dedicated Lunchboxing Readers,

A year ago today, we did not exist. We were but a twinkle in the eye on the face of the sperm in the balls of a boy. Even six months ago, we still did not exist, still sailing the spermy waters of sacktown. But a month later the lunchboxing dream came alive. There were hardships, yes. But a man named Ryan Kamins came through on his promise to create the best single web-site in the history of the universe! He then handed it to Jamie Flam, who in turn handed it to Ye Lunchboxing Faithful: your Barutis, Betrues, Bersons, Branums, Caninos, Fazios, Lo Dolces, Molloys, Nicelys, Padows, quarterbars, Seneses, Spiegelmans, and Weisbarts. Together, I am proud to say, we have created an EMPIRE! An empire read by tens upon tens of visitors every single day (except for Sundays)!

The future is looking bright for lunchboxing and its legions of fans. I am proud to say, at the advisement of my peers, that we will NOT declare war on Iraq. Mostly because it would be unheard of for a web-site to declare war (not to mention illegal), but also because it's just not what we're all about. So, in honor of this day, I present you with the gift of Two More Political Cartoons, lunchboxing style! Enjoy.

Kangaroo Jack: #1 Film In America!




Yes. It's True. If this doesn't make you want to join Al Qaeda's Jiihad against the U.S., I don't know what will. For a fantastic review of this piece of work, click here.

For those of you without internet access, lunchboxing knows how you feel. Dial your local suicide hotline immediately.

The Lunchboxing Radio Challenge!



That's right everyone, lunchboxing presents it's first in a series of RADIO CHALLENGES! What does this mean, you ask? Well, I'll tell you what this means. It means that we are tackling the airwaves in a city near you, grabbing morning radio by their feet, dragging them around in a circle, dunking their heads in a vat of lukewarm water, yelling "Can you take THAT? Can you take THAT?" as they cry for mercy, and then writing about it before they can catch their breath.

Is this true, you ask? No. It is not. The Lunchboxing Radio Challenge is basically just a review of local radio stations' morning programming. This one happens to take place in Los Angeles, or as I like to call it the "The City of Angeles". Read by clicking the unreadable icon above featuring Rick Dees and some really big boy.
