500 Days ago today I called up Pinky Beckles and suggested we start a company called Street Carnage. It would be a combination of my DOs & DON’Ts (soon to be called “Street Boners“) and his bad TV compilations (always called TV Carnage). We met on the corner of Orchard and Stanton on a freezing February day (like, “just got out of the ocean f-r-e-e-z-i-n-g,” you guys – it was really cold that day) and made sure we were on the exact same page before committing to something that would take over both of our lives.

As Pinky and I went through the criteria for what we thought a company should be, it became stunning how similar our visions were. We both agreed there should be no censorship on the site no matter how offensive or potentially litigious the content was. If someone wanted to take a shit in our heads, we had to let it pass. We also said we need to get out of all this “doom and gloom” b.s. and admit things are getting better. Saying stuff everyone else is saying is dull so we’d only get serious if it felt kind of new. Otherwise it should be about having a laugh. Yes the website will be the main focus but there’ll be live presentations and books and DVDs and all that other shit people like to enjoy before making love to a close friend.

Walking up and down Ludlow Street listing our demands sounded like two people talking to a mirror. We were about to get married and have a baby and it was the oppo-fucking-site of an arranged marriage. 500 days later, this baby is in your special eyes.

We fina-fucking-(shit)-ly finished our meeting and walked towards Chinatown for some dumplings. We both knew this was going to be the beginning of something as easy on the eyes as it is on the ears and it’s hard to believe it’s already been 500 days. Happy Anniversary US!

  14. Sunny says:

    I’ve always had a thing for Gavin since the 90′s.
    But I’m disappointed as I don’t see boners. Street boners, even.

  15. rjb says:

    well done
    I really didn’t need to see your dicks, but thanks for 500 days of chuckles

  16. omgkatiekatiekatie says:

  21. JuCIFER says:

    GAVIN’S UNCUT, AU NATURALE.. LIKE US MENS SHOULD BE.
    BECKLES, SEE IF YOU MOMS SAVED YOURS AND PUT IT BACK.
    BRAVO – CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 500

  22. fuckface says:

    Thanks for everything, except:

    1) Shaved bodies on men

    2) Jerking off and letting your dick deflate a little, then pretending to be naked in the cold

    3) Newmore Switchblades coverage

  23. grimey says:

    they were clearly just semi-chubbed up at seeing another handsome naked man on the same brain wavelength as themselves right in front of them it happens to me all the time

  24. ty says:

    I agree with JuCIFER: that god Gavs has all his dick skin. Jews? Muslims? Victorians? What the fuck with circumcision?

    And yeah, OK, you were “COLD”…it was “COLD” out. We get it. Else you both woulda been sportin’ the king’s foot worth of dick.

    Foreskin rulez.

  27. Blogwigger says:

    Mother Jesus, you guyses bodies are way hiddy!

  28. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa says:

    that question about how gavin makes money these days was genuine

  29. mr.meat says:

    I haven’t looked at an actual newsprint paper or seen a new movie in the theater for some long ass time…but today , given the odd collision of events, I found myself looking at the section that was all about this and such. So, I am led to figure that the 500 days title has to do with a 500 days movie that is out now –about love and and the asymetricallity of illogical complexities within relationships, and I wondered after reading this SB&TC wang about looking at the male homosapien collective DNA ooze conjoinment bonding synapse as a means for survival because we are the lesser breed. What gives?
    Why no GIF action ? Like your pasted mugs over an ISM 7incher “I Think I love You” cover is what type of sugar topping the lil’ asian punchin girls would giggle at.
    You guys should keep playing up this gay bonding thing until it becomes the 80′s all over again.

  31. fik says:

    i put your pics in my mental street boners. it has some 8 and a half kitties .
    congrats .

  32. turd ferguson says:

    the second picture is the funniest. have you guys been to Bushwacker’s Salon and Spa recently, because your pubes look all manicured. I’ve been reading since day one. Thanks for almost getting me fired at work for 500 days!

  33. You faggots need to stock this gay shit.

    Nice calves tho.

  34. Liquid Sky Saxon says:

    Ever heard of a comb?

  35. Frenchy says:

    GRATZ! more dicks plz. l2p

  36. Zlur says:

    Yeah well done and everything, you suck slightly less than most things on this think called the “internet”, still room for improvement, maybe hair cuts and a spell in the army would straighten you out?

    God bless anywho.

  37. Zlur says:

    Oh and what is it about American/Canadian men and getting their dicks out all the time?

    A Canadian fella once tried that with a young lady friend of mine, my bro broke his jaw in two places and we dumped him on the streets of Liverpool at 4 in the am (not knowing where the fuck he was), needless to say he fucked off home back across the pond double quick smart.

    Yeah.

  38. Vane$$a says:

    ^^^I’m With Stoopit^^^

  39. fathers says:

    “We both agreed there should be no censorship on the site no matter how offensive or potentially litigious the content was”

    nice try

  40. Zlur says:

    I’m a closet faggot

  41. curtis says:

    this site has given me a minimum of 500 laughs, thank you.

  42. Vane$$a says:

    A sincere celebration of a real anniversary or yet another flailing, desperate attempt to load up on props?

  43. Liz the Skiz says:

    I just want to thank you guys for starting this site and completing the once hollow, empty shell that was my life. My only complaint is that I wish you’d stop being so darn talented so that I stop soiling so many pairs of panties. It’s getting expensive.

  44. Hubie says:

    I’m not from New York so I probably don’t “get” this site (NYC is super complicated you know), but I just want to thank you guys for making it happen for me every day after day after day. You’re the reason I go on living.

  45. Kathy Hagoopagopian says:

    I’d just like to say on behalf of Armenian-Americans everywhere that streetcarnage makes more Armenian-Americans laugh per household than any other web-site. Thank you!

  46. George Bellows says:

    Somewhere in heaven Dash Snow is kicking himself in the balls for missing this momentous occasion. You dudes don’t rock my world, you rock the WHOLE world. Rock on.

  47. Aztec Apricot says:

    I dig this site, but I’d dig it much more if you paid Jim Goad to write a weekly column.

  48. Glam Boy says:

    You are New York. You are America. You are the immigrant experience brought to life. On behalf of myself and my parents who emigrated to this country from Australia, thank you my wise Canadian friends.

  49. andy says:

    Keep it going lads!

  50. Fernando says:

    The site needs more dudes openly taking drugs. More Gavin snorting coke in South America, and more Sam taking acid for our enjoyment. And more Bobby Brown spitting raps over mad beats:

    http://streetbonersandtvcarnage.com/blog/bobby-brown-crashes-studio-and-spits-on-mad-beats/

    If you haven’t already done so, listen to “The Brwon Bomber”. It’s the best thing on the site.

  51. imyar says:

    anyway i feel like this needs to be hugely addressed (made fun of) esp ellen page’s commie hat ughhhhhhhh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBivsEg0jTY&eurl=

  52. Norm says:

    Hah.

  55. yep says:

    you don’t have shadows….I’m kinda scared!

  56. Comment-tater says:

    This is where I go to retain that coolness I lost when I got a job.

    Keep it up.

  57. Max says:

    Do it for England you pair of cunts!

  58. the right honourable poodge mastrami says:

    nice work. and nice womanly hips.

  59. vegan jules says:

    Why don’t you bring in some ads for things we’ll actually buy. And maybe start doing a subscription service at $1 a month or something?

  60. Chelsea says:

    “And maybe start doing a subscription service at $1 a month or something?”

    FUCK that.

  61. colonel kuntz says:

    no censorship my ass! check out beckles deleting comments whenever someone calls him on his shitty writing. nice dinks, though …
    p.s. i’d pay 1$ a month to keep VJ off this fuckin’ website! pay subscriptions, you cunt.

  62. Hyperbole says:

    You guys is funny.
    But the real jewels of this site are the comment spaz outs.
    So congrats Gavin and Derrick, but big ups to all yallz timid-in-real-life sphincternet tuff talkers.
    Pussyole.

  63. ??? says:

  64. kat says:
