Because I don't listen to any rap music produced after 1995 I didn't know exactly what the hell Larry Johnson was doing with his hands after every touchdown. Now I realize that he has been engaging in a bit of product placement at the expense of Chiefs fans. While Johnson's flashing of the "Diamond Cutter" symbol might soon be nixed by NFL officials, it's funny that not only are the Chiefs shaking down KC for 500 million but now they are also sitting back as the team's leading rusher and beater of white women turns the game into one great big commercial.
Larry Johnson's gesture gets even more conspicuous as pro wrestler Diamond Dallas Page has recently filed a lawsuit against Jay-Z for unlawful use of the "Diamond Cutter" hand sign.
And again, until a few days ago, I thought the symbol was just a way for Larry Johnson to tell everybody how big of an asshole he is . . . or maybe a reference to the actual size of his asshole (gross) because we all know that all male models are ghey and engage in Greek love with reckless abandon. If you've followed this blog for awhile, you know that we (me and my monkey) have raised some reasonable doubts about Johnson's, let's just call them . . . preferences. Nobody has yet to answer how a grown man gets the nickname "King Pink."
Still, the fact remains that Team Roc (Jay-Z's clothing line) has received what amounts to millions of dollars worth of advertising from their spokeswoman Larry Johnson by using this dumbass and unoriginal hand signal. Now that this season for the Chiefs seems to be nothing more than a losing effort, I wonder if fans will return a hand signal of their own if Lovable Larry Johnson tries to shove a corporate logo in their face after scoring yet another meaningless touchdown that probably won't change the outcome of this Sunday's inevitable loss to the Chargers and won't do a thing to salvage the season.
Hmmm...here I thought his hand signal just meant "LJ". Shows how much I know.
ReplyDeleteI thought he was flashing the Dynasty Sign, aka the sign of the Delta Sigma Theta black sorority, which is a triangle, not a diamond. Maybe his mom's a Delta? Maybe ya'll aren't listening to all the hip hop you say you are?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you have against LJ? Obviously your the dumbass. You live in KANSAS CITY but you insult the Chiefs star running back? Thats enough to get you shot where I'm from(e.g. Proof of D-12, search it on the web) I would kill if I could move back to K.C.
ReplyDeleteman you needa shut up. You are a racist pig, trying to take away the fact that larry johnson is one of the best in the league right now.
