For those wondering about the douchebag jar: in the television series New Girl there is a character whose friends make him put a dollar in the douchebag jar whenever he does something, well, douchebaggy. Like randomly taking his shirt off to show of his pecs. I like the idea of the douchebag jar.
On Saturday I went to see Seun Kuti, Fela Kuti’s son. He played with Fela’s old band and played a lot of Fela Kuti’s music. Now, it was a great gig. Really was fantastic music, with lotsa good sweaty Afrobeat dancing.
But Seun is a total douchebag just like his old dad! I would’ve nominated Fela for the jar, but he’s dead so now his son definitely needs to empty his pockets into the douchebag jar instead. He has a tattoo on his back saying “Fela lives”. At the entire festival he was the only artist who had to have someone else introduce him. His dancing! It was just… douchebaggy. You can just tell he’s a douchebag, he’s dripping with it! It didn’t get in the way of the music, and was pretty amusing as part of the act. In fact, you could say I appreciated his douchebagginess, but the jar must have its rightful offering.
So the douchebag jar is pretty full of Nigerian Naira, but I’m sure we can find a bigger jar to fit all the other douchebag artists. Which artist do you want to tell to empty their pockets into the jar?
If Justin Bieber ever had to put a dollar into the douchebag jar every time he did something douchebaggy, then he could pay off Canada’s national debt (assuming they have one–if not, he could pay off the US’s!)
Not much to tell. This was around ten years ago, he was in town for some music festival or other, and he and some other musicians rocked up at a local bar/eatery. Like I said, he seemed quite friendly, and I already knew one of the musos with him very distantly (Judith Sepuma) so I said hi and got introduced.
I hardly know anything about him, but watched this video some time ago and… WOW! On top of that I heard he wrote in the Anne Frank house guest book that she would’ve been a fan of his. Yeah. JAR, Bieber! Now!
Another one:
I will always have a huge crush on him, but I think maybe Jim Morrison needs to put a dollar in the douchebag jar? It’s the leather trousers, the taking the shirt off, the loving himself…

Just a douchebaggy act, like Schmit in New Girl.
