2. Oh, Billy
As a lifelong celtics fan, I sometimes take for granted all this talk about how great Bill Rusell was. Obviously, I never saw him play. I do know he has a shit-ton of rings (one for each finger)..
But.. it's good to actually see some video evidence of his greatness...
Here’s Old Footage Of Bill Russell Going Coast To Coast And Jumping Over A Guy
This clip popped up on YouTube two days ago. According to the uploader, that's a young Bill Russell—playing for the University of San Francisco—grabbing a defensive rebound, streaking down the court on a one-man fast break, and jumping over some poor sap while gracefully laying the ball in. According to us, Bill Russell is the man.Eat your heart out Lebrongo... (although this is pretty noice as well)
All the more reason why he's such a pussy for not entering the Dunk contest... obv
Sure.. those feats are great.. but can Lebron or Russell annihilate someone in Connect 4?
3. Le Poo Poo
Or as they call him in Brockton.. Lil Poopy... (looks like his dad could be in some deep doo doo)
AP / February 25, 2013
BROCKTON, Mass. (AP) — A lawyer for
the family of a 9-year-old Massachusetts rapper who appears in sexually
suggestive videos is criticizing authorities’ decision to investigate whether
the boy is the victim of possible child abuse or neglect.
The boy who performs as ‘‘Lil
Poopy,’’ is a thriving, well-adjusted fourth-grader with a good home life, good
grades and musical talent, attorney Joseph Krowski Jr. said Monday of client
Luie Rivera Jr., who is of Puerto Rican descent.
‘‘This is just what I would call a
racially-tinged investigation because whoever watched it probably doesn’t
understand rap,’’ Krowski said of his client’s work. ‘‘...This isn’t some child
left alone that’s not going to school. It all comes down to content in the
videos, which is protected by the First Amendment.’’
On Sunday, Brockton police asked
state child welfare officials to look into possible abuse after watching Lil
Poopy videos following a feature story about him in local newspaper The
Enterprise.
The videos show the boy slapping a
woman’s buttocks, engaging in sexually suggestive dances and glorifying drug
use and materialism.
Materialism?!?! In America?!?! GOD FORBID!
I know what you're thinking.. so where's these videos?
Here's these videos..

BROCKTON —
One video shows the 9-year-old rapper repeatedly slapping the buttocks of a woman who is bent over.
In another video, Luie Rivera Jr., a Brockton fourth-grader also known as Lil Poopy, is shown in various other, sexually charged situations having similar physical contact with other women.
Adults in a crowd cheer the 9-year-old on as he is in a simulated sex situation with a female on a dance floor. People throw dollar bills at the child. A man can be seen telling the fourth-grader to slap the female, who is bent over, on the buttocks. She then gyrates against Rivera, and lifts the boy’s shirt.

Lawsuit: Budweiser light on alcohol
Anheuser-Busch InBev says it complies with labeling laws and calls the claims 'groundless.'
By Maryclaire Dale / The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Beer lovers across the U.S.
have filed $5 million class-action lawsuits accusing Anheuser-Busch of
watering down its Budweiser, Michelob and other brands.
Hm.. I wonder about the use of the term "beer lovers" there...

Nice stroll down Larry Sanders lane with the AV club.. I may have to re-watch some of these.. great great show..
As Hollywood basks in the afterglow of the Academy Awards, it’s unnecessary to explain why show business is such a perfect target for satire. Anyone who has sat through the Oscar telecast knows the nearly lethal level of self-importance it exudes, as Hollywood congratulates itself for another successful year of Really Important Work. By this point, it’s a cliché to deride the Oscars (or Emmys, Golden Globes, and sundry other awards shows) as a self-involved circle-jerk.
Many television series have satirized show business, but none more realistically or successfully than HBO’s The Larry Sanders Show, created by and starring Garry Shandling. Thanks to its inspired setting of a late-night talk show, it could draw from the entirety of show business in each episode (film, TV, music, sports, etc.), as a parade of stars came through playing themselves. Its run from August 1992 through May 1998 meant it was also in a perfect position to reflect the decade’s late-night wars.

Tycoon proposes to send married couple on a flight around Mars in 2018; 16 months in a capsule
Inspiration Mars/Associated Press -
A drawing provided by Inspiration Mars shows an artist’s
conception of a spacecraft envisioned by the private group, which wants
to send a married couple on a mission to fly by the red planet and zip
back home, beginning in 2018. The nonprofit “Inspiration Mars” will get
initial money from multimillionaire Dennis Tito, the first space
tourist. Outsiders put the price tag at more than $1 billion. The
mission, announced Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013, would last more than 16
months.

The voyage to Mars and back would be a cosmic no-frills flight that would take the husband-and-wife astronauts as close as 100 miles to the planet, but it would also mean being cooped up for 16 months in a cramped space capsule half the size of an RV.

Nice retort from Scotty...
UPDATE: Stone Temple Pilots "officially terminate" Scott Weiland, who snappily responds
Stone Temple Pilots have either fired or killed
frontman Scott Weiland. The band issued a very covert ops-ish statement
this morning reading simply, “Stone Temple Pilots have announced they
have officially terminated Scott Weiland.” It does not offer official
word on whether he’s still alive.
However, assuming he was just fired, the move really isn’t all that surprising. The band had to cancel dates in 2010 because of the frontman’s drunkenness and vocal troubles, and more recently, there’s been reported tumult within the group, stemming from Weiland’s insistence that he would play STP material on an upcoming solo tour. Just yesterday, Weiland responded to claims that he was quitting the band. He said he wasn’t, of course, but apparently that decision wasn’t really his to make.
UPDATE: Weiland sent out his own terse statement this afternoon, saying, "I learned of my supposed "termination" from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press. Not sure how I can be "terminated" from a band that I founded, fronted, and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that's something for the lawyers to figure out. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to seeing all of my fans on my solo tour which starts this Friday." Snap!
Good news for STP though.. I've already found their replacement:

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Beer lovers across the U.S. have accused
Anheuser-Busch of watering down its Budweiser, Michelob and other
brands, in class-action suits seeking millions in damages.
The suits, filed in Pennsylvania, California and other states, claim
consumers have been cheated out of the alcohol content stated on labels.
Budweiser and Michelob each boast of being 5 percent alcohol, while
some ‘‘light’’ versions are said to be just over 4 percent.
BROCKTON,
Mass. (AP) — A lawyer for the family of a 9-year-old Massachusetts
rapper who appears in sexually suggestive videos is criticizing
authorities’ decision to investigate whether the boy is the victim of
possible child abuse or neglect.
The boy who performs as ‘‘Lil Poopy,’’ is a thriving, well-adjusted
fourth-grader with a good home life, good grades and musical talent,
attorney Joseph Krowski Jr. said Monday of client Luie Rivera Jr., who
is of Puerto Rican descent.
‘‘This is just what I would call a racially-tinged investigation
because whoever watched it probably doesn’t understand rap,’’ Krowski
said of his client’s work. ‘‘...This isn’t some child left alone that’s
not going to school. It all comes down to content in the videos, which
is protected by the First Amendment.’’
On Sunday, Brockton police asked state child welfare officials to
look into possible abuse after watching Lil Poopy videos following a
feature story about him in local newspaper The Enterprise.
Police said Monday they haven’t filed any criminal charges. A
Department of Children and Families spokeswoman confirmed that officials
are looking into concerns about the young Brockton rapper’s welfare.
The investigation will include interviews with everyone who lives in
the child’s home and likely others who have contact with the 9-year-old,
such as school officials, DCF spokeswoman Cayenne Isaksen said. Child
welfare officials can refer the case to the local district attorney’s
office if an investigation finds any criminal behavior.
‘‘The filers of this report wanted to make sure the child is being
properly cared for,’’ Isaksen said. ‘‘...So the department will look
into all aspects of this.’’
The videos show the boy slapping a woman’s buttocks, engaging in
sexually suggestive dances and glorifying drug use and materialism.

So, he's taken the law into his own hands. And, as a result, he's become a folk hero in Russia.
He is known as "the Punisher" after the ruthless comic vigilante who dispenses brutal justice.
Volkov has been in more than 100 traffic accidents, though "accidents" may be a misnomer.
He's caused most of them with his in your face - or in your rear-end - driving style.
If someone cuts him off, Volkov just smashes into them.
To ram home his point, he then posts the dashcam video of his exploits online.
