Gilbert Arenas is the Black President...Or His Shoe Is...Or Something.
The Legend of Cecilio Guante —
Gilbert Arenas is apparently going to turn the White House black. Not really. Haven't had time to digest this one fully quite yet, but, at the very least, the global commercialization of Gilbert Arenas continues. From his original "Agent Zero" Impossible is Nothing commercial, to his ever-popular blog, to the EA cover and recent unveiling of his "Black President" monniker... Now, we've got a new shoes and commercials to discuss...or not. Maybe one day the Wizards and Arenas will win something. For now, he's riding the wave.
GilTV is Launched: Everybody Wants to Be Gil
D.C. Sports Bog —
GilTV is Launched: Everybody Wants to Be Gil D.C. Pro Sports Report got the videos first , but then they were taken down. Wizznutzz then busted this party wide open . Just know this: GilTV is out on Wednesday, and it's mind-altering. Like, he spends most of his time talking to a giant lobster. I wanted to ask Gil whether his primary Surrealist influence was Arp or Breton or Magritte, but he wasn't talking. "Blog tomorrow," he said, tomorrow being Wednesday. "Gilbert, good to see you," said Ted Leonsis, approaching. "That was a nice game, huh? You guys are playing great. Did you hear, some guy was saying, 'Gilbert, Throw me your jacket!' " ...

Gilbert’s TV Career Taking Off
Larry Brown Sports —
Which is a good thing, considering his basketball career is on hold for three months. The Wizznutzz (via Ballhype) puts me onto Gil’s latest short film projects. Naturally, they’re pretty humorous. There’s a James Bond-esque Agent Zero film, a Gil’s Island film, and a cooking with Gilbert one. I think my favorite is Gil as America’s Black President:
Gil’s recent blog post is worth a read as well, though mildly depressing because of the injury. If you read it, you’ll find out why Gil celebrated Thanksgiving over ...

In Gilbert Arenas We Trust
The Basketball Jones —
This is a man that will tell it like it is, hold nothing back and be there to show you the way. Therefore, he would make a horrible President. From all the basketball geeks, get well Gil. You’re officially the new and improved Shaq.

Something to Keep in Mind On Super Tuesday
Gilbertology —
If you’re heading out to the polls today, just remember that there’s one candidate who’s above the rest:
As The Basketball Jones puts it:
This is a man that will tell it like it is, hold nothing back and be there to show you the way.
You can debate whether or not that’s what you’d like in a candidate, but no one can deny that the shirts look good. (NOTE: This is not to be confused with an actual political ad. Vote for ...
Gilbert for President

Gilbert Arenas is involved in so many unique and interesting stuff. For example, do you know that he sponsors a professional Halo team. Did you know that sometimes he plays video games during half time? It helps him get his mojo back. Anyways just watch the video.

Which Wizard Would Be the Best Prez?
Mr. Irrelevant —
Wizznutzz could have so much fun with this. Via Bullets Forever, it’s the Wizards themselves discussing which Wizard would be the best president:
Of course, we know Gil as the Black President — see the Adidas ad where he says, “Paint the White House black!” — and Etan would be a fine running mate. Just keep Nick Young the hell away.
Also, DeShawn describing Gil as being “two-faced-y sometimes” is brilliant, though not so much as Gilbert’s Pech-W. comparison.

Gilbert Arenas Now Thinks Voting Is A Joking Matter
Truth About It - Washington Wizards Blog —
Gilbert Arenas Thinks Voting Is A Joke - TruthAboutIt.net Gilbert Arenas is a good guy who means well, but he still remains ignorant to the potential influence of his self-proclaimed marketing savvy. Back in August, Gilbert blogged that he would essentially rather die than vote .....conveying a disheartening state of confusion about whether a vote counted or not, and admitting that he wasn't even registered to vote because he didn't want jury duty. No one laughed. Arenas then reiterated his anti-voting sediment in late October . Still no chuckle. Thankfully, the pretend "Black President" is more side-show than influential ...
Arenas shows Obama support with fresh ink
Ball Don't Lie —
Gilbert Arenas has way too much time on his hands. And ink. Inspired by president-elect Barack Obama, the first "Black President," Arenas has gotten "Change We Believe In" tattooed on his left hand fingers and "44" on the outside of his pinky. From the Wizards Insider: "Arenas has gone all out for Obama, adding that he hired an artist last week to paint a mural with Obama's family on one side and Arenas's fiancee and children on another side of a wall in Arenas's house. [...] For a player who said he wasn't even going to vote just three weeks ago, Gil sure changed his apolitical stance quickly." ...
Arenas and Obama, Linked Together Forever
The Sporting Blog —
Finally, visual evidence of Gilbert Arenas’ new tattoo, a tribute to Barack Obama, the real Black President:
News of the tattoo first hit the internets last week, but despite people with cameras (and bloggers) constantly around Agent Zero, no one came up with the genius idea to snap a photo of the ink, until now. As you can see above, it reads “change we believe in,” a version of Obama's slogan “change we can believe in.” It was reportedly shortened because Gil didn’t want ink on his thumb. Also, on the outside of his pinky, which you can’t see in the ...
