Full Metal Jacket is a 1987 war film by Stanley Kubrick, based on the novel The Short-Timers by Gustav Hasford. It stars Matthew Modine, Vincent D’Onofrio, and former U.S. Marine Gunnery Sergeant R. Lee Ermey. The title refers to the full metal jacket bullet used by infantry riflemen. The film follows a platoon of U.S. Marines through their training and depicts some of the experiences of two of them in the Tet Offensive (1968) during the Vietnam War. (Wiki)
This movie rocked and the following scene will forever be in my head, as one of my all time favorites. Full Metal Jacket had a cult following and still does to this day, if you haven’t seen it, I suggest you make it a point!!!
Joker (Matthew Modine ) and Rafterman (Kevyn Major Howard) are sitting down and are approached by a Vietnamese hooker (Papillon Soo Soo) who offers them everything they want for fifteen dollars.
Da Nang Hooker: Well, baby, me so horny. Me so horny. Me love you long time. Me sucky sucky.
Private Joker: What can I get for ten dollars?
Da Nang Hooker: Every t’ing you want.
Private Joker: Everything?
Da Nang Hooker: Every t’ing.
It’s Thursday so you know what time it is, and since Formula D is heading to South Florida in a week I felt it was time to hit you with a throwback that sets the mood, which brings me to…
2 Live Crew is a hip hop group from Miami, Florida. They caused considerable controversy with the sexual themes in their work, particularly on their 1989 album As Nasty As They Wanna Be. Their song “Me So Horny” which took a sample from the hooker scene in Full Metal Jacket was the cause of extreme controversey in the late 80′s / early 90′s in regard to freedom of speech and cencorship in music, due to the explicit nature of the songs lyrics.

Busta Rhymes is back with another club-banger, this time hooking up with Tiesto & Diplo on their single C’mon. Tiesto is performing live at the Yas Marina tonight, one week prior to Formula Drift making it’s debut at the facility. An awesome build up for an exciting week, and a stellar event!
During the FT Lauderdale Winterfest Boat Parade Red Bull decided to turn a barge into a floating BMX Park. During this event some of the best BMX riders on the planet got to show off some of their skills while floating through some of the scenic south Florida waterways!
I especially like when Terry Adams says, “he spends his whole year doing demos, but this is the one set of demos that he’s going to rememeber.”
This wasn’t the first time that Red Bull had done something to this extent. Back in 2009 when they were promoting the, Red Bull Stumps, Clump and Jumps tour, they loaded up a 290ft Barge with 1800 cubic yards of dirt, and for one week designed one of the baddest freestyle mountain bike parks ever established, then floated around the San Francisco Bay giving spectators a dose of the extraiordinary.
