Ladies and Pimps,
    
Can you believe that the Afro-Squad has been an online presence for over a decade?  Well it is true, damn true.  Just like John Holmes, we keep growing and growing!  This month we have a review of Animal House, and an interview with Mari Possa, Giel, and Omega!
     I don't know if we have much left to accomplish, other than getting you to buy a funk filled tuxedo shirt.  (Wow, we didn't even know we could spell tuxedo.) 
     Anyway, please check out our new project at Wrestling911.com.  Also check out our new stuff at Afro-Squad.com.  By the time you read this, it will be old!

Afro-Squad Interview with Omega (Sirus LaVey),
by AfroSquad's SnowMan

Sirus is one of the top independent stars in the Southern states.  He and the gorgeous Vain LaVey are taking wrestling by storm.  Nothing can stop Mr. Omega!

Sirus, how are you doing today?
Great.  I am sore from training but that's every day!

Can you tell us a little about your wrestling character, Sirus LaVey?
I was trained very old-school and I believe in psychology and developing a story with my matches....not just a million high spots that mean nothing.

What is the story with the name? Where did it come from, what can you tell us about it? (Mr. Omega Sirus LaVey)
When I joined Mid-South I was a heel named Sirus.The fans would call me Sirus the Virus(I believe from a John Malkovich character).I prefer to believe it's a combination of the leader in cult movie The Warriors and the Egyptian Lord of the Underworld... My old tag partner was called "The Alpha Male" and I am "Mr.Omega"- it's a yin-yang thing...Another wrestling brother I came in with was Elijah LaVey.  So of course being a fan of Uncle Anton's books I took the name as my own.

Hip Hop Artist, Musician, and Rising Star:  Giel
Interview by the NinjaPimp

The upcoming singing sensation is one of the few whos bringing R&B and Hip-Hop, an Alternative twist. The soulful and soothing sounds of this delectable but down to earth cutie are anything short of incredible. The multi-talented superstar in the making has a quiver of gifts we've discovered. Learning and mastering such instruments as the piano; guitar; drums; marimba; xylophone; steel pans; and pretty much anything else you can hit, push, press, or shake. This 23-year-old prodigy enjoys the feeling she expresses through her music.

With her incredible lyrics and warm and unique voice, Giel's music takes you on a journey back to the soulful croons of Rhythm & Blues onto the styles and message understood in Alternative. Not to mention the tangible stories of everyday life as told in Hip-Hop. Her amiable aura, unique style and inviting smile guarantees to have you by the first note.

 
Giel how are you doing today?
I'm blessed!

So, can you tell us a little about your music?

My music is a fusion of sounds, I like to call it Alternative R&B Soul with a twist of Hip-Hop...Somebody might say that's too much but its what I embody. The story that Alternative music tells, the passion and heart felt emotions that u feel from R&B/ Soul and the memorable beats that get you moving with Hip-Hop...

Where can people listen to your songs?

OF COURSE I have a MYSPACE...lol!

Mari Possa, Reality TV Star and Actress

Exclusive NinjaPimp.com Interview with Mari Possa, Reality TV Star and Adult Actress
By NinjaPimp.com's KrazyMan

Mari Possa (born January 21, 1980) is an actress and reality TV personality who entered the film business after originally working as an office assistant for producer and star Adam Glasser, a.k.a. "Seymore Butts". Her decision to enter the business, her subsequent breast augmentation surgery, and her rise to stardom formed an ongoing "subplot" in Glasser's Showtime reality series, Family Business, which first aired in 2003 (on the series, she is initially referred to by her real name, Mirna, until the episode in which she chooses her stage name). The series also followed the development of a romantic relationship between Possa and Glasser.

Mari, how are you doing today?
Doing great, thank you for asking.

So, I hear you are a Afro-Squad.com fan. What do you think of our page?

Lets just say that the site puts a HUGE smile on my face. I find it HILARIOUS in a good way!

So have you traveled a lot lately? If so, where to?

I love traveling, I've been to Canada, London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Hawaii, Tahiti, Belize, and everywhere in the US.

What is your current relationship with Seymour Butts?

We are currently very much in love. We are engaged.

Congrats!  Are you an active performer? If so, what is your most recent work?

My last movie was "Butt Pirates of the Caribbean". I have not performed in a movies for about 2 yrs. I am active with my column in Genesis Magazine, website, and personal appearances.

Animal House Review
by BlogCritics.com

This is Animal House. It doesn't matter what's written here, what the comments say, or what type of analyzing goes on. This is Animal House, and it’s a piece of flawless comedy from 1978 will always be one of the greatest of all time, and forever burned into a movie goers consciousness.

It's impossible to find fault in this classic. It's pacing and timing is the key along with the writing to space out each laugh perfectly. By the time you're recovering from the previous jolt, the next one comes in. A wild, uncontrolled finale is a fitting finish, continuing the stream of humor even when discussing the whereabouts of each cast member.

There's an iconic performance from John Belushi here, setting up a stereotype of the typical college slacker that's still relevant today. His face along with classic “College” sweatshirt is a staple in any dorm room. It’s not a true college experience without a toga party and a poster Belushi in tow.

Even the attempts at drama between Boon and Katy end up as straight comedy. There's not a single flat joke in here, and the actors sell their characters every step of the way. The sheer amount of quotable content is exhausting whether sly, sharp, or insanely stupid. The full cast is able to pull off a true rarity. They simply click when on screen with a rare chemistry.

The AFI selected Animal House to their list of 100 greatest comedies at #36. That's not enough recognition. This is a film that nailed the full checklist of comedy requirements, and just shy of 30 years later, it doesn't feel dated in the least. 

Coming in on the low end of the HD-DVD spectrum, this combo disc is barely a step above the SD side. While there’s an extra layer of clarity, the film lacks any pop or specific moments to present the film in its full glory. Colors feel muted, bland, and washed out. The same can be said for fine detail, or lack thereof. Black levels are sharp and given the age of source material, damage and dirt are minimal.
