..."Passengers seem to know instinctively how to arrange themselves in an elevator. Two strangers will gravitate to the back corners, a third will stand by the door, at an isosceles remove, until a fourth comes in, at which point passengers three and four will spread toward the front corners, making room, in the center, for a fifth, and so on, like the dots on a die. With each additional passenger, the bodies shift, slotting into the open spaces. The goal, of course, is to maintain (but not too conspicuously) maximum distance and to counteract unwanted intimacies—a code familiar (to half the population) from the urinal bank and (to them and all the rest) from the subway. One should face front. Look up, down, or, if you must, straight ahead. Mirrors compound the unease. Generally, no one should speak a word to anyone else in an elevator. Most people make allowances for the continuation of generic small talk already under way, or, in residential buildings, for neighborly amenities. The orthodox enforcers of silence—the elevator Quakers—must suffer the moderates or the serial abusers, as they cram in exchanges about the night, the game, the weekend, or the meal..."

You've already seen many of these.  Most are pretty depressing, but powerful nonetheless.

We¹ve all heard the 'official conspiracy theory' of the Death Star attack.

We all know about Luke Skywalker and his ragtag bunch of rebels, how  they mounted a foolhardy attack on the most powerful, well-defended battle station ever built. And we¹ve all seen the video over, and over, and  over, of the one-in-a-million shot that resulted in a massive chain reaction  that not just damaged, but completely obliterated that massive technological wonder.  Like many Americans, I was fed this story when I was growing up. But as I watched the video, I began to realize that all was not as it seemed.  And the more I questioned the official story, the deeper into the rabbit hole I went.

Presented here are some of the results of my soul-searching regarding  this painful event. Like many citizens, I have many questions that I would  like answered: was the mighty Imperial government really too incompetent to prevent a handful of untrained nerf-herders from destroying one of  their most prized assets? Or are they hiding something from us? Who was  really behind the attack? Why did they want the Death Star destroyed? No  matter what the answers, we have a problem.

Below is a summary of my book, Uncomfortable Questions: An Analysis of  the Death Star Attack, which presents compelling evidence that we all may  be the victims of a fraud of immense proportions.

Uncomfortable Questions about the Death Star Attack

1) Why were a handful of rebel fighters able to penetrate the defenses  of a battle station that had the capability of destroying an entire planet  and the defenses to ward off several fleets of battle ships?

2) Why did Grand Moff Tarkin refuse to deploy the station¹s large  fleet of TIE Fighters until it was too late? Was he acting on orders from  somebody to not shoot down the rebel attack force? If so, who, and why?

3) Why was the rebel pilot who supposedly destroyed the Death Star  reported to be on the Death Star days, maybe hours, prior to its destruction? Why was he allowed to escape, and why were several individuals dressed in Stormtrooper uniforms seen helping him?

4) Why has there not been an investigation into allegations that Darth Vader, the second-ranking member of the Imperial Government, is in fact  the father of the pilot who allegedly destroyed the Death Star?

5) Why did Lord Vader decide to break all protocols and personally  pilot a lightly armored TIE Fighter? Conveniently, this placed Lord Vader  outside of the Death Star when it was destroyed, where he was also conveniently  able to escape from a large-sized rebel fleet that had just routed the Imperial forces. Why would Lord Vader, one of the highest ranking members of the Imperial Government, suddenly decide to fly away from the Death Star in  the middle of a battle? Did he know something that the rest of the Imperial  Navy didn¹t?

6) How could any pilot shoot a missile into a 2 meter-wide exhaust  port, let alone a pilot with no formal training, whose only claim to fame was his ability to ³bullseye womprats² on Tatooine? This shot, according to  one pilot, would be ³impossible, even for a computer.² Yet, according to additional evidence, the pilot who allegedly fired the missile turned  off his targeting computer when he was supposedly firing the shot that  destroyed the Death Star. Why have these discrepancies never been investigated,  let alone explained?

7) Why has their been no investigation into evidence that the droids  who provided the rebels with the Death Star plans were once owned by none  other than Lord Vader himself, and were found, conveniently, by the pilot who destroyed the Death Star, and who is also believed to be Lord Vader¹s  son? Evidence also shows that the droids were brought to one Ben Kenobi,  who, records indicate, was Darth Vader¹s teacher many years earlier! Are  all these personal connections between the conspirators and a key figure in  the Imperial government supposed to be coincidences?

8) How could a single missile destroy a battle station the size of a  moon? No records, anywhere, show that any battle station or capital ship has  ever been destroyed by a single missile. Furthermore, analysis of the tape  of the last moments of the Death Star show numerous small explosions along its surface, prior to it exploding completely! Why does all evidence  indicate that strategically placed explosives, not a single missile, is what destroyed the Death Star?

A few months back, I was watching the NBA playoffs and a Hanes commercial with Michael Jordan and Kevin Bacon came on, setting the stage for one of the most uncomfortable 30 seconds of my life.  Here I was, partaking in the completely hetersosexual activity that is watching the NBA playoffs, and BAM!, I'm hit with a homoerotic intervention rivalving the time I tried to sit through the movie "Party Monster."  Immediately, my phone lit up like a Christmas tree - friends calling me in utter shock..."Did you just see that?"  "What the hell just happened?"  "Did I just see Kevin's Bacon?"   

Clay Travis has a brilliant analysis of the most uncomfortable commercial on TV...

ClayNation: Most uncomfortable commercial on TV

  June 12, 2006
By Clay Travis
SPiN Columnist
Tell Clay your opinion!
    

I don't know anything about advertising, but I am absolutely certain of this fact: Seeing Kevin Bacon and Michael Jordan advertise Hanes underwear is the most uncomfortable minute of the NBA Playoffs thus far (except for every television shot of the telecasters that remind everyone Doug Collins has, in fact, chosen to go with platinum blond hair). The Hanes commercial is like an underwear car accident -- you want to look away, but the strained acting, awkward body language and grapes tossing keeps you pinned to the couch peeking through your eyes.

Here is the commercial in ClayNation frame-by-frame analysis:

First, Bacon shoots a jumper in triplicate on the right side of the screen. From out of nowhere, Jordan soars into the screen wearing the staples of athletic apparel: A black shirt, black belt and gray dress pants. Jordan rejects Bacon's shot. Bacon then attempts to shoot his car keys into a bowl, but Jordan rejects his keys as well.

Each man eyes the other ruefully and Jordan slowly shakes his head (truth be told, there is nothing funnier than swatting someone's car keys). Kevin Bacon then wads up a piece of paper and attempts to toss it into the trash can. But ... you guessed it! His Airness is there once again to protect the sanctity of the trash can by sliding by in a chair just in time for the swat. Yep, a rolling chair. Rejected. Too bad they didn't use Marv Albert's voice here.

Finally, Bacon attempts to toss a grape above his head and into his mouth, but Jordan is there again to swipe away the grape. Four rejections! All this activity has boiled down to the crucible moment, the only spoken line by either man of the commercial: "What?" Jordan asks, and then winks at Bacon. That's it.

Also, the entire commercial appears to have been filmed on an eerie Cabinet of Dr. Caligari-esque set. Basically, we are led to believe that for whatever reason, Kevin Bacon likes to shoot things and Michael Jordan likes to reject them after it leaves Bacon's hand. But now that you know the commercial in all its brilliance, it's time for my favorite things that aren't discussed or explained in the commercial itself:

1. Michael Jordan and Kevin Bacon are hanging out. I flat out do not believe that Jordan and Bacon would ever spend time together doing anything. So while occasionally ads can have you at "hello," this one had me at "no" from the start. Admittedly, I've been angry at Bacon ever since he had a frontal nude scene in Wild Things and Neve Campbell didn't.

2. Someone at Hanes thought: Michael Jordan + Kevin Bacon = marketing goldmine. Even worse, someone else thought this initial idea was a good one and passed it along until eventually, this commercial got made. Didn't anyone have doubts about this? When this commercial was screened, did Hanes executives high-five one another and say, "By God, make sure we double production of the Hanes ComfortSoft Woven Boxer. This is genius."

3. Bacon is tossing grapes and Jordan swats one away from him. Remember when Jordan dunked from the free-throw line? And remember how I said he single-handedly made knee-length shorts, bald heads for black men and the tongue sticking out on the playground really cool moves? Well, now the time has come: Jordan is officially the old dude who is swatting grapes away from the guy who starred in Footloose. We all knew MJ's athletic talents would eventually succumb to Father Time, but did his coolness have to evaporate all at once as well? It's almost like George Clooney announcing tomorrow he's dating Starr Jones.

4. Jordan gives a subtle "no" head shake after each rejection of Bacon's jumper, car keys, piece of paper and grape. This is the same guy who was pinning actual jumpers against the glass a few years ago. Now, he's relegated to rejecting Bacon's car keys? Remember that scene in the parking lot from Boogie Nights where Dirk Diggler is performing for $20? The rejections in this Hanes commercial are Jordan's parking lot moment.

5. Did I mention that Bacon is tossing grapes? Again, I'm baffled that someone could have ever believed this would make a compelling commercial. What other ideas did this eventually beat out? I would absolutely love to see the discarded script for this television commercial. Squirting lemons at one another? Slicing onions? Please, someone show me the flow chart of brilliance that led to tossing and rejecting grapes.

6. Suzy Kolber's role in that Diet Pepsi commercial looked like an Oscar winning turn compared to this commercial. You know, the one where she interviews the Diet Pepsi machine while everyone is chanting, "Machine, Machine ..." in the background? Oh man, what if Suzy Kolber turned down the Hanes commercial because she didn't like the script? Okay, we're officially turning this into a ClayNation Internet rumor.

7. Someone from Hanes called Kevin Bacon and said they wanted him to star in an underwear commercial with Michael Jordan. If you were one of Bacon's friends, wouldn't this be the greatest prank to play on him? I just can't believe Bacon ever believed this was legitimate up until the point where the Hanes check actually cleared.

8. Bacon changed his wardrobe about 43 times during the commercial. We see Bacon resplendent in a nice brown blazer, a black leather jacket with white T-shirt underneath, a brown leather jacket and about 15 different colored T-shirts. Jordan, however, remains clad in his black shirt, gray dress pants and black belt throughout. A part of me hopes that when told to change clothes, Jordan said, "It doesn't matter what I wear, this commercial is going to be horrible. I'm not changing clothes. Cut my check."

9. Okay, so could there be a subtext to the Hanes commercial? Could the grapes being tossed be a dig at rival Fruit of the Loom? If so, what percentage of viewers got this? One percent at best. And here's a clue: It's underwear. Incorporate a hot girl if you want a subtext.

10. How bad are things for Matthew Perry? First, he awkwardly shoots pool with Jordan while awkwardly bantering and then Hanes replaces him with Kevin Bacon. Not that Perry was any more believable as Jordan's buddy, but he got axed from the commercials. If only Perry was replaced by Marcel the monkey from Friends.

You want marketing goldmine? I'll give you marketing goldmine: Dirk Nowitzki + David Hasselhoff. Throw in K.I.T.T. and give it a nice line like, "If underwear was made for talking cars, I'd never take it off." I guarantee Hanes would have to open up new sweat shops.

Incidentally, when I told my wife about this column, she said, "I think you're underestimating Kevin Bacon's appeal. He's huge." Unfortunately for her, she also said in response to my commercial idea, "Who's Dink Norwitzkay?" Maybe my theory needs some work, too. But much less work than this Hanes commercial.

My Favorite Mike Tyson Quote

“[He] called me a ‘rapist’ and a ‘recluse.’ I’m not a recluse.”

On Lennox Lewis

"Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!"

"My main objective is to be professional but to kill him."

"I want to rip out his heart and feed it to him [Lennox Lewis]. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children."

On Evander Holyfield

"You got nothing coming, man. I'm going to enjoy this fight."

After biting Holyfield he said, "This is my career. I have children to raise. I have to retaliate. He butted me. Look at me. My kids will be scared of me."

"I felt Holyfield was using his head illegally. I told the referee I wasn't getting any help, so I went back to the streets. I cannot defend it, but it happened."

On Razor Ruddock

"You're sweet. I'm going to make sure you kiss me good with those big lips. I'm gonna make you my girlfriend."

On Tyrell Biggs

Tyson on Tyrell Biggs' complaining to him about low blows "Low blows? Low blows? Huh! Motherf**ker you're fittin' to die!"

"He was screaming like my wife."

"I could have knocked him out in the third round but I wanted to do it slowly, so he would remember this night for a long time."

On His Wife

"I paid a worker at New York's zoo to re-open it just for me and Robin. When we got to the gorilla cage there was 1 big silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas. They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let smash that silverback's snotbox! He declined."

"Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It's all lies. I have never laid a finger on her."

On His Childhood

"One morning I woke up and found my favorite pigeon, Julius, had died I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honor him. I left the crate on my stoop and went in to get something and I returned to see the sanitation man put the crate into the crusher. I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a titanic right hand he was out cold, convulsing on the floor like a infantile retard."

On Fans

To a question on whether he feels support from the common fan: "I don't feel love from them because there's no love. They don't know me as an individual; they know me for what I actually do. Because they pay to see me smash anybody. If they're white they pay, [it's] because the only thing they have respect for is my ability as an athlete. But if I was in court and I had to use them to testify against me on my character, they wouldn't testify positively against me and they would think I'm a cad..."

"There are nine million people who see me in the ring and hate my guts. Most of them are white. That's okay. Just spell my name right."

"I think the average person thinks I'm a f**king nut and I deserve whatever happens to me. That's what I believe."

"When you see me smash somebody's skull, you enjoy it."

On His Time in Prison

"You have to understand, Frank Bruno would not have been champion if I had not been in prison. Oliver McCall would not have been champion if I had not been in prison. A lot of these guys would not have been champion. Michael Moorer would not have been champion. Those guys would not have been champion if I had been around. They would have had no legacy. None of those guys would have had a legacy."

"I would have been in shape. I would have been active. Holyfield, those guys wouldn't have been champion when I was around, but I went away for four or five years inactive and that made them competitive for a time."

"But you really have to look at the science of the situation. You guys come here to talk and report but you don't actually look at the facts of what this business is all about. The best thing that happened to those guys and they should stand on their mother's shoulders and kiss my ass because I went to prison or they would not be existing right now. They'd be a flash in the pan and would have made some money and opened up a restaurant or bar somewhere where they live at."

On Boxing

"I try to catch him right on the tip of the nose, because I try to push the bone into the brain."

"Everyone in boxing probably makes out well except for the fighter. He's the only one that's on Skid Row most of the time; he's the only one that everybody just leaves when he loses his mind. He sometimes goes insane, he sometimes goes on the bottle, because it's a highly intensive pressure sport that allows people to just lose it [their self-control]."

"How dare these boxers challenge me with their primitive skills? It makes me angry. They're just as good as dead."

"My power is discombobulatingly devastating I could feel is muscle tissues collapse under my force. It's ludicrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm."

Tyson: "It's interesting that you put me in the league with those illustrious fighters [Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Jack Johnson], but I've proved since my career I've surpassed them as far my popularity. I'm the biggest fighter in the history of the sport. If you don't believe it, check the cash register."

"Without discipline, no matter how good you are, you are nothing! One day, and I might not be around; you're going to meet a tough guy who takes your best shot. He'll keep coming because he's tough. Don't get discouraged. That's when the discipline comes in."

"I just want them to keep bringing guys on and I'm going to strip them of their health. I bring pain, a lot of pain."

On His Family

"No one gives a f**k about me. No one cares if my children starve, if they're on welfare. I have to support my children. I need more money."

Mike, on his mother who died in 1982: "I never saw my mother happy with me and proud of me for doing something: She only knew me as being a wild kid running the streets, coming home with new clothes that she knew I didn't pay for. I never got a chance to talk to her or know about her. Professionally, it has no effect, but it's crushing emotionally and personally."

On the Media

“I want to throw down your kid and stomp on his testicles, and then you will know what it is like to experience waking up everyday as me. And only then will you feel my pain.”

[To a female reporter] "It's no doubt I am going to win this fight and I feel confident about winning this fight. I normally don't do interviews with women unless I fornicate with them. So you shouldn't talk anymore... Unless you want to, you know."

"People [are] going to say what they say. It has to be for a reason. It's just for a reason. I know sometimes I say things; I offend people. I ask this lady a lewd question because I'm in a lot of pain too. I have some pain I'm gonna have for the rest of my life. And Lewis, I'm trying to give some of that pain to ya'll."

"You gentlemen have no idea what it's like to be myself, no idea what it's like. I'm not interested in being humiliated anymore."

"Sometimes you guys have no pride, so no matter what I say, you guys ... it doesn't affect you because you don't care about nothing but money. So every now and then I kick your f**king ass and stomp on you and put some kind of pain and inflict some of the pain on you because you deserve to feel the pain that I feel."

"If I take this camera and put it in your face for 20 years, I don't know what you might be. You might be a homosexual if I put that camera on you since you were 13 years old. I've been on that camera since I was 13 years old."

On Religion

"All praise is to Allah, I'll fight any man, any animal, if Jesus were here I'd fight him too."

"I feel like sometimes that I was born, that I'm not meant for this society because everyone here is a f**king hypocrite. Everybody says they believe in God but they don't do God's work. Everybody counteracts what God is really about. If Jesus was here, do you think Jesus would show me any love? Do you think Jesus would love me? I'm a Muslim, but do you think Jesus would love me ... I think Jesus would have a drink with me and discuss ... why you acting like that? Now, he would be cool. He would talk to me. No Christian ever did that and said in the name of Jesus even ... They'd throw me in jail and write bad articles about me and then go to church on Sunday and say Jesus is a wonderful man and he's coming back to save us. But they don't understand that when he comes back, that these crazy greedy capitalistic men are gonna kill him again."

Stacey McKinley: "He sees a guy beggin' in the street and he gives him a hundred dollars. I'll say, 'Man, y'know the guy's just gonna spend it on crack!' But he says, 'I leave it to Allah to judge him.'"

"I'm a man. I lived it and I'm not afraid to die but when I die I'm going to paradise and I'm not worried."

On Himself

"The one thing I know, everyone respects the true person and everyone's not true with themselves. All of these people who are heroes, these guys who have been lily white and clean all their lives, if they went through what I went through, they would commit suicide. They don't have the heart that I have. I've lived places they can't defecate in."

"I'm not Mother Teresa. But I'm also not Charles Manson!"

"Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn."

"I'm just like you. I enjoy the forbidden fruits in life, too. I think it's un-American not to go out with a woman, not to be with a beautiful woman, not to get my dick sucked ... It's just what I said before, everybody in this country is a big f**king liar. [The media] tells people ... that this person did this and this person did that and then we find out that were just human and we find out that Michael Jordan cheats on his wife just like everybody else and that we all cheat on our f**king wife in one way or another either emotionally, physically or sexually or one way."

"There's no one perfect. We're always gonna do that. Jimmy Swaggart is lascivious, Mike Tyson is lascivious -- but we're not criminally, at least I'm not, criminally lascivious. You know what I mean. I may like to fornicate more than other people -- it's just who I am. I sacrifice so much of my life, can I at least get laid? I mean, I been robbed of my most of my money, can I at least get [oral sex] without the people wanting to harass me and wanting to throw me in jail?"

"At times, I come across as crude or crass, that irritates you when I come across like a Neanderthal or a babbling idiot at times. But I like to be that person. I like to show you all that person because that's who you come to see."

"I'm the most irresponsible person in the world. The reason I'm like that is because, at 21, you all gave me $50 or $100 million, and I didn't know what to do. I'm from the ghetto. I don't know how to act. One day I'm in a dope house robbing somebody. The next thing I know, 'You're the heavyweight champion of the world.' ... Who am I? What am I? I don't even know who I am. I'm just a dumb child. I'm being abused. I'm being robbed by lawyers. I think I have more money than I do. I'm just a dumb pugnacious fool. I'm just a fool who thinks I'm someone. And you tell me I should be responsible?"

On His Mental Health

"I don't know if I'm mentally sick, but I have... episodes sometimes. I'm a depressant kind of dude. I have episodes, and I'm human. But no one cares about my health as a human because sometimes I'm in my episodes when I'm at work."

"Well, [contemplating suicide] goes through everyone's mind, I'm sure. And if it doesn't I really must be crazy. Everyone thinks about that because sometimes, you know what I mean, it's just tough being a ni**er and it's tough being a bad ni**er."

I don't react to a tragic happening any more. I took so many bad things as a kid and some people think I don't care about anything. It's just too hard for me to get emotional. I can't cry no more."

"I'm on the Zoloft [an antidepressant] to keep from killing y'all."

On America

"I'm just a dark guy from a den of iniquity. A dark shadowy figure from the bowels of iniquity. I wish I could be Mike who gets an endorsement deal. But you can't make a lie and a truth go together. This country wasn't built on moral fiber. This country was built on rape, slavery, murder, degradation and affiliation with crime."

Miscellaneous Quotes

"I like the British bikes. I like British people. They're real mellow."

"I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating."

"I have some pain I'm gonna have for the rest of my life. So every now and then I kick your f**king ass."
