So we are thinking of pulling those pages down.
Any thoughts on us doing that?

Afro-Squad has been online since 1996, and we have never gotten too preachy. However, I was at Buffalo Wild Wings in Riverview, Florida and I saw a video game that I just hated. It is Jungle Safari by the folks that make Big Buck Hunter. So now it is time to get preachy.
The game focuses on shooting wild endangered animals. How is that a good concept for a game? I can see killing Nazis, or even the French, but what did a West African Chimp ever do to you?
Unless you have been mauled by a chimp, what do you have against these animals? Can’t we just build video games where we re-kill the undead? I could even accept killing zombie chimps, but to pay your hard earned cash to pretend to shoot an endangered animal that is grooming itself.
I for one will not go back to any restaurant that has this game. Can’t we just go back to playing games where we shoot at imaginary centipedes?

As you may already know, the team at the Afro-Squad is kind of vain. SnowMan Jones takes pictures of himself all day long. KrazyMan is constantly looking at his reflection in his golden gun. Jordi Scrubbings will talk your ear off if you get a chance. So every once in a while we google the term “Afrosquad.”
We were angered when we saw somebody using the name Afrosquad on a racist message board titled Chimpout. Chimpout has nothing to do with the good natured antics of the real Afro-Squad.
Every once in a while people ask us, “do your afros have anything to do with race?” The simple answer is no. They just look funny on our skinny little bodies. That’s all.
On a side note, this little chimpanzee reading a paper is pretty cool. We wish we knew some real chimps. They are cool when they aren’t eating your fingers.

In an effort to minimize impact on their customers, and to accommodate growth, the zip code 33929 will now be assigned to Kim Kardashian’s ass.
The 33929 code will be slowly integrated to minimize confusion and service disruptions for the thousands of customers that use Kardashian’s ass.
Some, however, are not so keen on the new change.
“It is all just so vast and confusing. We need structure,” said one New Yorker.
“You running out of numbers, you running out of tokens, you running out of subways, you running out of jobs,” said another New Yorker. “The only thing we ain’t running out of is Kim’s ass.”
Service providers will begin customer education mid-year to prepare for the new code.

Not since the mid 1970s has a more controversial picture of Bigfoot hit the Internet. (Yeah, we know. The Internet wasn’t nearly as popular in the 70s.)
A.N.U.S. reporters took this picture of Paris Hilton on Friday on her way to the Mtv Movie Awards. Although reports initially determined that she was merely dating a bearded Brat Pitt, it has not been determined that she is actually dating a full grown male Bigfoot of west North Dakota.
“He’s just so fantastic,” stated Hilton. “I just love him so much. He is so much more polite than Jason Shaw was to me.”
When asked about Paris, Bigfoot just walked away into the woods.

After years of being unshaven and angry, it appears that the Fox network is attempting to do Yeti makeovers.
In January 2010, Fox executives captured a 6’8” 450 pound male Yeti. After subjecting him to a series of secret videos, and making him stand in a six-sided body mirror, they convinced Yeti that he needed a makeover.
“We offered Yeti a $2,000 spending limit to hit the stores on New York,” said Bill Smith, an executive with the show. “We gave him a haircut, tattoos, and tried to fit him size 20 Steve Madisons.”
In a big unveiling to his family the Yeti stated, “Uaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!”

Would you expect anything less from the executives at Fox? We guessed not!
This afternoon, the producers of American Idol announced that Fox Broadcasting plans on bringing in the zombie corpse of former American Idol judge Paula Abdul to replace Simon Cowell when he leaves the show. They explained how her recent departure from prime time was only due to a slight bout with death, and that she is “as capable as ever” as a brain dead flesh eating night stalker.
“We feel this is a big win for the folks at Fox,” said a network executive. “Despite years of relative incoherant blathering, Paula has always been America’s favorite judge. I don’t think that America will even notice that she is a drooling flesh-eating zombie. It is hard to even notice a difference.”
Executives continued to explain that the contestants have nothing to fear from the brain-loving ex-cheerleader. They stated in a press release late on Thursday that “our contestants don’t even have brains. Besides, who is better to participate in Fox’s brain numbing programming than Zombie Paula? No other body will do.”

Washington – After the US military announced they would start overturning the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, many gays are pushing hard for continual probing of top military officials, over allegations of anti-gay sentiment.
“We have been wanting to probe these men for years, but we just couldn’t get in the front door because of all the restrictions,” said Dr. Hanz Meuller, leader of Gay Activates Yearly. “This is a great opportunity for us to enter through the back door and really get deep into this. I won’t rest until we are knee deep in there!!!”
After announcing they will begin to change the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, many in Washington are starting to question what policy will be adopted. Leading military officials are leaning to a “Don’t Tell, I Already Know” policy, where gays just act in an over manner so they don’t have to tell. Others are pushing for a “Go Ahead and Tell, But I Feel Awkward While Listening” policy. Many gays prefer the “You Can Ask, But I Am Not Going To Tell Because My Dad Wouldn’t Approve. That Is Why He Made Me Join The Military” policy.

Pop mogul and X-factor judge Simon Cowell has announced that the devastation caused by last week’s earthquake in Chile has not yet proved horrible enough to justify the release of another banal and sentimental charity single.
Speaking after the latest auditions for Britain’s Got Talent, the multi-millionaire said that there has been no approach this time from Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who had previously asked Cowell to record a single highlighting the struggle in Haiti.
“We won’t be doing another single this time,” said the 50-year-old. “I don’t think that the British public would go for it, and more people have to die before we can get the likes of Robbie and Mariah to show any interest”.
“Maybe if the death toll rises to 100,000 we’ll consider it, but at the moment it doesn’t look likely,” he continued.
Other stars are said to be “apathetic” to performing another charity hit so soon after the hastily produced Haiti sessions, with singing sensation Susan Boyle taking time off for exhaustion.
However, in a desperate last attempt to raise awareness of her withering singing career, X-factor judge Danni Minogue insisted that she and fellow judge Louie Walsh are working on a non-specific earthquake-related song that would go on re-release every time a nation is ravaged by mother nature.
