12.17.08 TRACY MORGAN’S NIGERIAN SCAM MOVIE
Here’s a video I will post with only the slightest provocation:
Tracy Morgan is set to star in Freshman Roommates, a film inspired by those Nigerian Scam emails.
“Freshman Roommates” asks the question what if one of the emails isn’t a scam. Story kicks off when a young man answers one such email during a drunken stupor. Soon thereafter, the spoiled son of a deposed African dictator (Morgan) shows up at his door, looking to secure his inheritance.
Hmm, “inspired by” aside, this sounds a lot like Coming to America. But if Tracy Morgan was a Nigerian scammer, I’d probably send him all my money. I just couldn’t resist lines like, Dearest one, Pleasse sennd cashier cheque, or else somebody gone get pregnant. Yours in Christ, The Oo-Chow.
Unrelated but nonetheless true: One day I was walking by a barbershop in Spanish Harlem when for some reason, I stopped to look at the picture of all the different hairstyles they had in the window. I swear on my life, one of the hair models was Tracy Morgan.

“No, no Tracy Morgan! Don’t reuse other people’s movies! Have some Dignity!”
-Tracy Morgan
Some great laughing off screen there.
“One day I was walking by a barbershop in Spanish Harlem when for some reason, I stopped to look at the picture of all the different hairstyles they had in the window.” That some reason was just your latent desire to look “fly” or “ill”. Those pictures are put up so that Keith on the corner can pick your pocket and stab you in the kidney.
If the last post was for Oatmeal: The Movie, than this must be for Grits: The Movie
This is bullshit!
Does African Prince sing African Little Red Corvette?
African Prince sings Leopard Print Rain.
African Prince sings Sexy Mutha-*click talk*
I was robbed last week, and the cops say my apartment is covered in African prints.
African Princes’ song Pussy Control is about forced female genital mutilation
So between Prince and the Vikings, does Minnesota make all black people wear purple?
Shut up you guys. My father was just deposed by a warlord wearing a raspberry beret and now I must flee my homeland.
African Prince would like for you to party like it’s 1399.
Heroes Unmasked happens to be on and whaddya know, Wendy and Lisa compose music for the show. Damn, they look old.
New up!
Unrelated but nonetheless true: The other morning I was driving around downtown and saw Jackie Chan on the sidewalk. I got all pumped and was pointing and taking pictures with my cell phone. When the light turned green, and I drove off, I realized that more than likely it was not, in fact, Jackie Chan. And how, for the rest of the day, that guy was probably sitting in his office programming computers and eating sushi, wondering what the hell that guy was so excited about that morning, probably cementing his belief that all white people are crazy, or racist. Or something.
Vance needs to ‘cheque’ what country he’s from. Fucking canadians.
It was a parody of a nigerian scam email. They always spell it that way.
“African Prince sings Sexy Mutha-*click talk*”
I Laugh-Out-Loud-ed at that one.
