Chat Roulette is Good for Something

James — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 10:30:16 +0000

If you haven’t been on Chat Roulette yet, you’re missing out on the amazing hooded piano guy (plus a whole lot of penises). If you’d like to skip the random dicks – and I do mean that literally – here’s a sample of the piano dude who can create songs on the fly for anyone he meets. This is way more fun than the actual Chat Roulette experience.

The Greatest Act of Douchebaggery Ever?

James — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 10:00:12 +0000

Ladies and gentlemen we may have discovered the single greatest act of douchebaggery ever recorded. Meet Steven Douglas Burton, 39, of Palm Springs, California. Steven is insecure. So insecure, in fact, that he showed up to his high school reunion decked out in a Marine Corps officer’s uniform laden with medals.

Here’s the only problem: our man Steven never fought in Iraq or Afghanistan or even served in the military. In fact, the closest Steven has ever gotten o the Marines is watching “A Few Good Men” on TV. And the medals? He bought them on eBay.

Yesterday Burton was ordered to pay a $250 fine and serve a year of probation by U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips in Riverside, CA for wearing military medals he never earned.

In October 2008 he showed up at his 20th high school reunion wearing the uniform of a Marine lieutenant colonel. His uniform showed off the Navy Cross, the Bronze Star, and the Purple Heart among other medals.

Unfortunately for Steven, one of his classmates – Colleen Salonga – really is a bona fide Navy commander and quickly smelled a rat. Salonga took Burton’s photo and sent it along to the FBI who quickly unraveled the case.

So Steven Douglas Burton we salute you for pulling off one of the greatest feats of douchbaggery in recent memory.

Oops! Time Warner Airs Playboy on Children’s Channels

James — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:00:06 +0000

If you live in North Carolina, your kids may have gotten more than they bargained for recently while watching television. Time Warner Cable apologized yesterday for displaying explicit programming from the Playboy Channel on two children’s channels.

According to Time Warner Cable spokesman Keith Poston who was quoted by a local news station, “Basically, we had a piece of equipment fail and what happened is some previews for the Playboy Channel actually got diverted into the preview box on our Kids on Demand (Ch. 252) and our PreSchool On Demand (Ch. 555).”

The naughty content aired from about 6:15 am to 8:15 am in parts of North Carolina – perfect timing to catch the little ‘uns before they head off to school.

Kirsten Dunst in a Blue Wig Dancing Around Tokyo – WTF?!

James — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 10:30:53 +0000

Ahh, the stuff you find on Twitter. Kirsten Dunst never did much for me, but I’m starting to see the appeal in this weird-ass video posted on Twitvid. Kirsten sings the classic song “Turning Japanese” while decked out in a bright blue wig with some kind of magic wand thingy.

The video was filmed by McG and commissioned by noted artist Takashi Murakami, which probably explains why it’s so freaking odd.

Those Cubans Know How to Have a Baseball Fight

James — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 11:30:39 +0000

In general, fights during baseball games in the U.S. are not much to talk about. Sure, the benches clear and there’s a lot of yapping, but few decent punches actually get thrown. Who wants to throw a punch if it’s going to wreck your arm along with your $10 million contract?

But in Cuba, things are just a bit different. Check it out:

The Toilet Paper Article of the Week: You’re So Vain

James — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:00:35 +0000

Here’s an article from our friends over at The Toilet Paper. To subscribe to their free ball busting daily newsletter, click here.

Delusional thespian and part-time lesbian Lindsay Lohan is so upset over an E*Trade commercial that she is suing the financial services company for $100M for pain and suffering. Lohan believes the ad spot negatively depicts her—a smoking hot, red-headed diva—as a cute, chubby baby. A stretch, you say? Hardly. In the commercial, the baby’s name is also Lindsay. It gets worse: the baby is said to be a “milk-aholic.”

Wow, we knew about the drug and alcohol arrests and rehab, but who knew Lohan was hooked on moo juice too? Good thing the baby in the commercial wasn’t sucking on a rubber nipple and doing blow, or Lohan might have a case.

Number

20M – Daily page views New York Magazine’s website received the first three days in January 2009 when they posted a sexy photo shoot of Lohan recreating poses taken of Marilyn Monroe. Lohan was not paid.

In September of 2009, Playboy offered the actress, model, singer, and designer $900,000 to pose nude. She declined.

Quote

“She has to begin to build the foundation of a life that’s got stuff in it, not just celebrity.”

Jane Fonda, discussing Lohan on Larry King Live

Word

jackanapes [jak-uh-neyps]

noun. 1. A conceited or impudent person. 2. A mischievous child. 3. A great way to get banned from the primate exhibit at the zoo.

Fact

Before the release of Herby: Fully Loaded in 2005, Disney decided that Lindsay’s rack was too spectacular for her character to portray in the family film. Lohan’s bust size was digitally reduced in every frame of the film, making the movie suck even more.

The List

Lohan(tourage)
Michael Lohan, Sr. (Father) – The former actor, minister, and youth counselor did two years in prison for various probation violations after getting a DUI. He also shopped a show about his family while he was estranged from them. Later on, he tried to sell private recorded conversations with Lindsay to the media.

Dina Lohan (Mother) – Rose to fame as Lindsay’s manager. Claims to be a former Rockette, has dabbled in acting, and launched her own shoe line called “Shoe-han.”

Ali Lohan (Younger Sister) – Starred in the reality series Living Lohan alongside her mother. The 17-year-old sometimes acts as club companion to her big sis.

Jenni Muro (Lindsay’s Assistant) – Claims that she doesn’t get paid enough for all her work. In a “leaked” conversation with Lindsay’s father, Jenni insists that Lindsay is suicidal and that she tries to “save [his] daughter’s life everyday.”

Iron Man 2 Looks Awesome

James — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:27:51 +0000

Director Jon Favreau and Robert Downey, Jr. team up again in this summer’s Iron Man 2. Now I’ll admit you can’t judge a movie by a trailer, but if it’s anything like the original this sequel should rock. Here’s the trailer:

The Sexy Moves at The Olympics That You Missed

James — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:00:19 +0000

Most red-blooded guys went out of their way not to watch the figure skating competition at this year’s Winter Olympics. But if you skipped the couples skating you missed some downright sexual poses.

The folks over at Fresh Pics rounded up 40 of the most sexual photos from the 2010 Olympics and if these athletes were not wearing skates (and, well, clothes) you’d swear you were watching a porno. Here are a few of the Kama Sutra inspired poses you probably missed:

It’s Good to be the Azerbaijan President’s Son

James — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:30:50 +0000

I’ll bet 99.95% of you out there couldn’t find the country of Azerbaijan on a map if your life depended on it, but this county has got a lot of oil. So much oil, in fact, that Heydar Aliyev, the son of Ilham Aliyev, the country’s president, reportedly spent nearly $44 million on nine Dubai waterfront mansions. Oh, and did I mention he’s 12 years old?

Yes, a 12 year old has allegedly bought the mansions at the ultra-luxe Palm Jumeira island for more money than you will ever lay eyes on. This over a span of just two weeks, says the Washington Post.

The total price tag is roughly 10,000 years’ worth of salary for the average Azerbaijan working joe.

Now how, you may ask, does a 12 year old have so much money, especially when daddy’s annual salary is just $228,000? Well, there’s the mystery. No one involved in the transaction is talking, but something tells me we’ll hear more about this terrible tyke in the coming weeks.

It’s Come to This: The iMaxi iPad Case

James — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:00:21 +0000

The Apple iPad has not even been officially released and it’s already a full-blown phenomenon. The latest to hop on the iPad bandwagon is Etsy seller Hip Handmaids which recently released the iMaxi IPad Case.

Yes, that’s a giant maxi pad (with wings!) you’re looking at there. Perfect for wrapping up your shiny new iPad safe and snug.

Better yet – check out the available color schemes: sanitary white and blood red. I think I just threw up in my throat.

If for some reason you feel the need to buy one of these, you can find them at Hip Handmaids.

The Toilet Paper Article of the Week: Sweet Soul Sister

James — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:00:31 +0000

Here’s an article from our friends over at The Toilet Paper. To subscribe to their free ball busting daily newsletter, click here.

We hold three truths to be self-evident at The Toilet Paper offices: 1) people that walk without swinging their arms are weirdos, 2) Bloody Marys without celery are an abomination, and 3) Pam Grier was—without a doubt—the hottest actress to ever step onto a film set in the 1970s.

No one could fill a dress and empty a gun like Pam in her early action classics. When she wasn’t “kicking jive turkey ass” and “sticking it to the man,” she was generously revealing her mind-blowing physical gifts and getting stuck by her man. A sexy, self-confident woman with a “No BS” attitude, Pam was a source of empowerment for black women and feminists. A caramel dipped goddess with a happy trigger finger, she was a fantasy for any man with a pulse.

Number

70 – Number episodes Pam played “Kit Porter” on the Showtime series “The L Word” from 2004-2009.

One would think a show called “The L Word” would be about lesbians, but apparently it’s just about female slackers in landscaping. Gals who don’t do dick, but enjoy mowing lawns.

Quote

“I can’t talk about myself. I just can’t. I know I’ve influenced people, and I’m proud of that. But as I see it, I really haven’t done anything. I haven’t saved anybody from a burning building.”

Pam Grier

Nonsense, Pam! You’ve helped young men strengthen their forearms for the past 30 years.

Word

Blaxploitation

noun. 1. A commercial-minded film genre in the 1970s geared towards black audiences.

Some groups like the NAACP found the films to be stereotypical, but many others in Hollywood including Pam, felt they were finally giving a voice to those that weren’t being heard.

Fact

Pam is the only black star from the Blaxploitation era who receives a royalty each time one of her films is rented. Good for Pam. Bad for Fred Williamson.

The List

Queue Em Up Now

Coffy (1973) – “The baddest one-chick hit-squad that ever hit town!”
Foxy Brown (1974) – “A chick with drive who don’t take no jive!”
Sheba Baby (1975) – “Hotter n’ “Coffy” meaner n’ “Foxy Brown”
Friday Foster (1975) – “Her name is Friday, but you can dig her any day of the week.”

Fighting Stewardesses Cause Flight Delays

James — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 11:00:32 +0000

Now some people might think that two airline stewardesses fighting would be kind of hot in a twisted, mud wrestling kind of way. But when the fight happens on a plane, it’s not so hot for the passengers.

A recent flight from Rochester to Atlanta was forced to return to the gate when a fight broke out between two stewardesses. While Pinnacle Airlines, which operates the flight, said it was only a verbal disagreement, passengers on the plane describe the altercation as a fist fight. Nice.

So next time you’re on a plane, be nice to your flight attendant. You never know when she might take a swing at you.

Olympian Sells Panties to Aid Haiti

James — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:00:40 +0000

We can all give back to the world in our own way. For semi-hot, kinda kooky silver medalist Hannah Teter, it’s panties. Teter started “Sweet Cheeks” panties to raise money for charity, with most of the money going to Haiti. Best part of the video is hockey legend Wayne Gretzy holding up the underwear, looking quite embarrassed.

The Toilet Paper Article of the Week: Mouth of Pain

James — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 11:00:54 +0000

Here’s an article from our friends over at The Toilet Paper. To subscribe to their free ball busting daily newsletter, click here.

Lil Wayne’s debut album went platinum when he was just 17 years old. Sadly, that may have also been the last time the 27-year-old Grammy winner ran a toothbrush over his diamond-encrusted chops.

Though he was to enter Rikers Island in February for a 2007 weapons charge, Wayne’s attorney was able to keep the rapper out of prison for a few more weeks by citing the need for a trip to the dentist. What many thought was a lame attempt at stalling the inevitable ended up being legit. Dude got eight! root canals last Tuesday!

Number

$150K – Amount that Lil Wayne told Jimmy Kimmel that he’s paid over the years on his oral bling.

Letting the inside of them rot and decay was totally free.

Quote

“I smoke weed all day. I’m a very successful addict. And a very smart one. And a very charismatic one. And one that just won four Grammys, and one that sold a million records in a week. What am I addicted to, being great?”

Lil Wayne, Rolling Stone interview, February, 2010

Yes… yes you are, Lil Wayne.

Word

drank

noun. 1. A narcotic cocktail consisting of a soft drink mixed with codeine-based cough syrup, often garnished with a Jolly Rancher. A Lil Wayne favorite for a number of years, drank (AKA “syrup,” “lean,” “sizzurp”) is popular in Southern hip-hop and has been blamed for a number of rapper’s deaths.

No hacking cough, though.

Fact

As he awaits imprisonment in Rikers Island jail, Wayne has worried about the impact that 12 months out of the spotlight will have on his career. As a result, he has recorded three records worth of new music, guested on numerous other artists’ upcoming albums, and shot nine music videos over Super Bowl weekend to be released over the coming year.

The List

Rikers Alumni

Sonny Rollins – The jazz saxophonist served ten months for armed robbery.
Sid Vicious – The bassist of the Sex Pistols served 55 days while awaiting trial for murder.
Tupac Shakur – The famed rapper served 11 months for sexual assault.
Plaxico Burress – The former NY Giants wide receiver is still serving a two-year sentence for accidentally shooting himself.
Mark David Chapman – He did time before moving to Attica for a 20-year to life sentence for killing John Lennon.
