...shape buffoons - angry antiheroes with oversized egos and anger management problems. In the cult comedy The Foot Fist Way, McBride growled as a hapless martial arts instructor who never missed an opportunity to tell his students he was better than them. In Pineapple Express, he was the shotgun-toting stoner who found the strength to embrace his new-found "thug life."

This becomes glaringly obvious with Snoop Dogg’s guest appearance on the subsequent track, “Time...

...earliest famous cases dealing with the issue, the NAACP objected to a 1972 political ad from a U.S. Senate candidate in Georgia named J.B. Stoner who was running on the National States Rights Party ticket. Stoner called himself a "white racist," and his ad said the "main reason why niggers want integration is because niggers want our white women."
