Bad Sexy

Is it just us or did this full page ad on the inside back cover of the June 2010 issue of City Life magazine get a farkin' bad treatment in Photoshop?

1). Nothing says party like a porn star like plastic leis necklaces.

2). What happened to this arm?

3). All chicks tote Hustler magazine to the Red River beach with them.

4). Is this a thigh or a skateboard?

5). The calf seem to be missing.

6). Is she being attacked by a giant sand bucket and shovel?
7). Party 'til you puke? What is that splat?

Feel free to add your own. Also remember when the Love Boutique first opened? Youtube was there and so was Ron Jeremy.

June - A Good Month To Celebrate White People

Shreveport downtown at 5pm June 3, 2010. They had a parade (on the sidewalks) of sorts. But the big party was at the Caddo Parish Courthouse at the Confederate Monument. Thanks to the Shreveport Times for covering it, otherwise who would have known? Ahh, white people.

How Did We Miss Take Your Pirate to Work Day?

Thanks for the coverage SB Magazine. We would have completely missed this one if it wasn't for your pixilated photographer at Eye on SB.

Shreveport Times Falls for Sexy Bug Boys

Mudbug Madness has seeped into the Shreveport Times. Of the 53 photos covering Thursday's VIP crawfish eating contest at Shreveport's Festival Plaza, 20 of them featured castmembers of the show Billy the Exterminator.

Who should have scored more coverage? We pick KRMD's funny and cute Hillary Edman. She made the best faces during the contest. What a character!

The Forum Sexist?

They say they are "Northwest Louisiana's premier newspaper." Perhaps, if this was 1910 instead of 2010.

Why is this old white guy getting paid to write nuggets like this one found on page five of the May 19, 2010 edition " Girlie talk ... 'She was really glad the bank returned the check she wrote. Now, she can spend it somewhere else.'"

Just a little fun? No. A research project led by Western Carolina University psychology professor, Thomas E. Ford, indicates that sexist jokes are not just harmless fun and games; instead, exposure to sexist humor can lead to toleration of hostile feelings and discrimination against women.

Why would Willis Knighton, Christus Schumpert, Kilpatrick's Rose-Neath Funeral Home, Diamond Jacks, Boomtown, Horseshoe and Sam's Town spend their advertising dollars to support this? Surely, those places have human resource departments even if The Forum doesn't.

SB - Sometimes Controversial

SB Magazine and has done a fine job of covering the theater scene in the May 2010 issue. Too bad the magazine isn't called NY.

Southern Trace Shreveport Boring Enough to Snag the ABC TV Show The Gates

If someone said you lived in a homogeneous subdivision filled with cookie-cutter houses would you be offended? Residents in Southern Trace, a golf course gated community, are thrilled to be the most uninspiring community in Louisiana. The 425-home neighborhood in southeast Shreveport beat out Baton Rouge's Country Club of Louisiana subdivision for filming of the new television series "The Gates."

From the May 16 edition of The Shreveport Times - "The producer told me they liked the architecture of our homes better," Jerry Phillips, president of the Southern Trace Homeowners Association said. "They were looking for more homogeneous-looking homes."
