Joey Lawrence's debut single from his self-titled album was released on February 23, 1993. It hit number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and reached number 13 in the United Kingdom. Joey Lawrence made millions from his album in the aftermath of the buzz created by his song, "Nothin' My Love Can't Fix." Joey Lawrence's "songs" were described by Bill Carpenter, of "All Music Guide," as "Catchy without using gimmicks. Mostly in the hard soul and hip-hop territory. There's also a couple of 60s-Motown-styled tunes."

Here is a sample of the "lyrics" to Joey Lawrence's smash hit, "Nothin' My Love Can't Fix":

Aw you know it's true
All I gotta say is
Baby baby
I love you in every way
Cuz lady
Ya gotta get away with me
Ya gotta get away with me today
Cuz our love has got to shine through
And baby you got to see it too
That we were meant girl me and you
But lately you been acting
Like I smell like a zoo
Philly zoo to be exact and hey Philly's my origin
As a matter of fact
But let's get back to the subject at hand
Baby baby baby
Oh you is back in demand
When I look at you girl
My heart goes right into a whirl
And all I gotta say about the situation
Oh oh oh yeah
There's nothin' my love can't fix

But lately you been acting like I smell like a zoo? Philly zoo to be exact, and hey, Philly's my origin as a matter of fact?

Joey felt the need to specify the "exact" zoo that his "baby" was acting as though he smelled like? If Joey's "baby" had been acting as though he smelled like the San Diego Zoo, would their prospects for a successful relationship have been enhanced? Or minimized?

There is no real thought or story to accompany this aside. I just felt the need to make the skulls explode of any educated, hard-working, or even slacking, young professionals stressing about making student loan payments. When you are bummed about to be in the shower at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning, do not forget to think that without that shower you might smell like a zoo, the Philly zoo to be exact, or whatever zoo is closest to your place of origin, and that would increase your chance of being famous and wealthy beyond your most mediocre of wildest office daydreams.

Pop Culture like the Zit of Humanity.

On December 26, 2005, a tsunami struck Indonesia. You should remember this. The earthquake and resulting colossal waves were a legitimate global catastrophe. Despite the death and destruction, it is a time where television never fails to quickly swoop in to exploit tragedy for ratings. You should all be aware of this too. And, as we all also know, the Asian porn industry loves to take advantage of suffering more than CBS, Hallmark, and FOX News after a Democratic senator uses the word 'welfare' combined. The immediate release of films revolving around a plot similar to the actual disaster is commonplace. Here is an excerpt, loosely translated, from the script for one such film regarding the tsunami.

Interior: East Asian Brothel

Scene: Hooker #1 stands outside a bedroom door with a gentleman caller waiting for Hooker #2 inside to finish with a client. Unbeknownst to Hooker #1, however, Hooker #2 is actually in the room alone, locked in, trapped, and looking out the window at impending doom.

Hooker #1: Knock, Knock? You almost done, sweetie? I got a lanky fella out here with a wad of cash clutched in his sweaty hands. He looks pretty excited. I think he's shaking, so it should be some quick money. Let's go.

Hooker #2: Oh my God! Dear Lord! What is that!? It's huge!

Hooker #1: Oh my. I'm sorry, sweetie. Take your time with that, you lucky bitch.

Hooker #2: No! No! It's . . . It's coming!

Hooker #1: Yeah, sweetie. Go ahead now. Work it girl.

Hooker #2: [Crying noises] It's coming! [Weeping] Why now, God!? Why here!? Why!?

Hooker #1: Woo wee. Just calm down, sweetie. It's natural. He's supposed to do that. Is this your first time?

Hooker #2: [Sobbing] Noooo . . . Why now? Why here? Why?

Hooker #1: Ok, ok. I'll walk you through this. Now, what's the problem? When is he cumming? And where is he cumming?

Hooker #2: Oh, sweet Lord, tsuuuuunnaaammmmiiiii!

Hooker #1: Soon-on-me? What did you say? Was that, "He's cumming soon-on-me?"

Hooker #2: Tsunami! It's coming! [Banging Noises] Let me out! Please! Let me out! I don't wanna die!

Hooker #1: Soon-on-me? That's what I thought you said. Damn, sweetie, you must got yourself a real stud in there. But relax. You're not going to die. That's good pain. Trust me, it's really not so bad. Even my lanky fella here is nodding in agreement. Just make sure you make him pay you the five-dollar, I mean, umm, five-yen bonus. That's a special service, you know?

According to the script, a tidal wave then wipes the brothel away, with the still sexless lanky fella floating away, screaming endlessly into the night, then realizing that he lost his wad of cash in the water, and then screaming even more loudly endlessly into the night . . .
