I turned in my Mercedes-Benz for a white Ferrari convertible

that cost me something like $8,000, which was considered a whole lot of money back then. Now, here we are riding around town in this spectacular car. A real black motherfucker like me with this stunningly beautiful woman! When she got out of the bad-ass car she seemed to be all legs, because she had these long, gorgeous, dancer's legs and she carried herself with that dancer's carriage. Man, it was something, people stopping and looking with their mouths hanging open and everything.
         I was sharp as a tack every time I went out in public and so was Frances. Life magazine even put me in their international issue as a black person who was doing something good for his people. That was all right. But I always wondered why they didn't put me in the issue that comes out over here.

To our friends in Croatia

Sources tell us that your population is in decline.
As well as the popularity of the necktie.
Nevertheless, we stand behind you Croatia.

My Friend Vladimir Putin

One of the Nada interns knows a guy who knows a guy who owns a 24 hour pizza restaurant, which is truly a testament to the pillars of capitalism- but I just love pizza- anyways, the guy who owns this pizza joint, may or may not- according to sources close to the magazine- sell drugs at his 24 hour pizza party hut, which, to me, is really a nice idea, combining two things we here at Nada love, pizza and drugs. The guy who owns the 24 hour pizza place happens to be a very close friend to none other than Vladimir Putin, CEO of Russia- which explains the pure marketing genius of pizza and drugs, and perhaps the reason that this particular proprietor  is kind of a dick, but hey, who isn't a dick when they are running a 24 hour pizza joint/drug shack (?) I mean Vladimir Putin is a dick, but he also looks like a mob boss who fucks Edward ( Nada voted team Ed in the 2008 election) for talking shit  ( He picked him up in a Rolls Royce). Putin is always putin something on the first date, and that is why Putin sort of looks like hes dead. Not because he is tired from working all day ( a 24 hour day is how Putin lives) but because he spends a lot of time fucking and doing blow and probably assassinating people himself- because Putin is that kind of leader, he won't ask you too kill someone, because he kind of just wants to do it himself. Our comrade, the owner of a 24 hour pizzeria doesn't kill people, as far as I know, he just sells drugs and pouts. Maybe he misses Vladimir, I like to think he calls him Vlad or Vladli, I miss Vladimir, I like that he doesn't say shit or piss, but excrement- hes a class act.
