Pounding Out Randoms
Hello Everyone,
Ryan Simonetti and Mario Rivera have a very special treat for you. It's a video project they've been working on for years, and now it is being released. There is a whole bunch of Steve-O footage that will never show up anywhere else except on this DVD, and it's been a long time since a DVD as crazy as this one came out. Without further ado, I invite you to check out the trailer and purchase info for Pounding Out Randoms. I love you all,

Provocative Nudity!!!
Hello Everyone,
My friends at PETA asked me to post their new commercial featuring Pam Anderson and myself. The fact that it has been banned (for graphic nudity) has led to massive amounts of publicity surrounding it. I don't think it was by mistake that PETA included enough nudity to get it banned. Actually, I believe more people know about it than would've had it aired on television- and I don't think it was ever intended to air on television in the first place. I applaud PETA for using PR dollars extremely effectively during these rough economic times.
When I first became involved with PETA, it was on an "issue-by-issue" basis- they interviewed me in my old apartment about animal abuse in the circus as I sat on a leather sofa. At that time I was a meat-eater, and told them I believe that if anyone is going to wear the flesh or fur of an animal, they should at least have the decency to eat the meat of that animal. That comment led to my involvement in PETA's "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign. The following year I chose to stop eating meat (and stop wearing or purchasing anything made out of leather), however, citing reports that Jesus Christ fed lots of people with fish, I continued to eat fish. Most recently, for just over a month now, I've kept to a strictly vegan diet and I've not felt "hard-done-by" at all. I have been really enjoying making a project out of seeking out an extremely healthy diet of raw, organic, vegan foods- and I plan on continuing to do so.
A vegan diet isn't for everyone, and not everyone is going to agree with every position that PETA takes in the world. It's not my choice to try to tell people how to live their lives (not anymore, anyway!), but I will say that PETA is guilty of nothing but showing love for all living creatures, and I'm running out of issues to disagree with them on. Here's the commercial that cost almost nothing to get the attention of millions of people all over the world, it's my honor to be a part of it:

I love you all,

Truly Heavy Metal...
Hello Everyone,
Last night I saw what is absolutely the greatest movie I have seen in years. It is called "Anvil!: The Story Of Anvil". It is a true documentary, not fictional in any way, and I can honestly say that it's funnier than "Spinal Tap", and so inspirational that I felt on the verge of tears almost throughout. I can't say enough about how completely awesome this movie is. If you like to read movie reviews before investing your time in a film, I encourage you to see how well-reviewed "Anvil!" is- 98% on rottentomatoes.com.
I was extremely lucky, and got invited to see it by the director of the movie. After it ended, Anvil performed right there in front of the screen in the movie theater, then hung out with the crowd outside the entrance. What a night! Thanks to Anvil, and Sacha Gervasi, for the best time I've had in quite a while.
In order to find out where you can see it, go to www.anvilmovie.com. You would be absolutely crazy not to! Check out the trailer:
I love you all,
