coco: i want you to come meet my parents baby. they're chillin' in the back.

ice t: aw, you know how i am around parents. i get all flustered.

coco: well what are you going to do? pretend they're not over there looking at us?

ice t: all right, all right. if it sells, it sells. if it doesn't sell, i'll go make a movie.

coco: that's right baby, own that shit.  


ask ice t and coco

ice t and coco,
i work with reasonably well educated people, but my boss insists on sending around those "this happened to a friend of mine" chain e-mails. you know the kind. the ones that talk about children getting their legs crushed by the taliban, or people flicking their headlights and picking murder victims; the ones that usually end with a prayer, a picture of a fluffy kitten, an animated butterfly, and a request that you send it on to 15 people so that you can save a life. they go out to the entire office.
i can’t take it any longer, what should i do?
-fucking annoyed

dear fucking annoyed,
you can't have that happening. better to get out now. start looking for a place where they at least pretend to know what's going on.


ask ice t and coco

c.w.n.: ice t and coco, what's your favorite past-time besides skateboarding?

ice t & coco: we're pretty chill. on a weekend we'll get takeout and watch a movie.

c.w.n.: aw, too cute. it's no wonder you're america's fav. couple!

ice t & coco: that's right, i hit it.


advice from coco and ice t

america's favorite couple lays it out for us.

coco: all our fears boil down to one simple thing: our fear that we're not special. we're afraid that we're replaceable, one of a crowd, that there's nothing unique about us. and we're afraid, as a result, that we won't be able to meet whatever challenges life presents us with.

ice t: so we hide. we're afraid that if we let our real selves, our real beliefs, our likes and dislikes, our thoughts, hopes and dreams, show, we'll be rejected for them, and that we can't bear. it's too much exposure. it's easier to go with what the culture tells us we should like and do and think.

coco: as i said, most of us lead lives that are predominantly motivated by fear. we'd rather rely on pundits to tell us what to think, on style mavens to tell us how to decorate our homes, and on advertisements to tell us what to wear. we'd rather surround ourselves with what's cool than with those things that address our individual needs.

ice t: all the conveniences of modern technology aid us in communicating – the cell phone, video camera, Internet – but they can also sometimes stop us from communicating. take a night a week with your kids when the computer games & tv are turned off. the hero is not the man who conquers the world, but who conquers his own passions.
