Porn: The Sports Issue

What would it be like if Sports Illustrated made porn? Picture the infamous swimsuit issue in full nude...hot.

Well, there is a new player in the field of porn, welcome to the scene Jacques Magazine!

They are about to release their "Sports Issue" and the video trailer they just released is making me drool. Checkit:

Men and Beer

I know that I have a tendency to blog about beer quite often. But men like beer...its that simple.

Nobody does it better than the brew mavens across the pond at BrewDog. They make sick beer...double true. Check the latest video which happens to be about their most recent collaboration with SoCal brewers, Stone Brewery.



God I love beer.

Zach Galifianakis

You know, that guy from the Hangover...the one with the beard...ya know, Zach Galifianakis (I had to Google that last name in order to spell it correctly). Well, he hosted SNL recently and was perhaps the only shining star in that otherwise dreadful show. Saturday Night Live hasn't been funny since the days of...well, maybe never. But they continue to beat that dead horse each and every Saturday.

I digress. Zach was moderately funny...and oh, he shaved his beard.

Check out his monologue:

Ethan Hawke Witnessed Hit

Part of me is excited (can you imagine seeing someone get blown away) and part of me is somber (dude, can you imagine seeing someone get blown away). I guess I'm not sure how to feel...and from all reports neither did Ethan Hawke.

He was shooting in Brooklyn, NY for his upcoming film Brooklyn's Finest and decided to pop into a cafe with some of the crew to grab a bite to eat. Across the street 4 men in hoods gunned down 2 victims right before their eyes. According to Hawke:

"It's not even a joke... it was a full-blown assassination and they accidentally killed the guy cutting his hair - it was a woman cutting his hair. It was terrible. I stood there, like, an actor in a movie. I kept expecting the AD (assistant director) to go, 'Cut, cut...' The police shut the block down."

Lucky he wasn't hit. Personally, I think the guy is one of the finest actors working today and it would be a shame to lose him. Possible silver lining: he can draw emotion from this experience and use it in his latest film (cause I gotta be honest, it looks like a shitty Training Day II).

Now See This!

Once in a while I come across some artsy type shit that really knocks me off my feet. I'm no artist but I AM a sucker for visual stimulation (amongst other kinds). Check this piece by AntiVJ...it got me aroused.

Brew Wars, World's Strongest Beer

In recent months there has been an all-out-war between two breweries trying to make/market/sell the world's strongest beer. And it comes as no surprise to readers who's side I am on...BrewDog!!!

Here's the short and sweet of it (with videos to fill in the gaps):

1. German brewer Schorschbrau made a beer at 31% alcohol...strongest in the world.
2. Scottish craft beer BrewDog takes that as a challenge and swiftly produces Tactical Nuclear Penguin at 32%.

Tactical Nuclear Penguin (32%)

3. Schorschbrau responds by pumping out a batch of 39.44% and takes it to market labeling it as 40%...which is a bit of an overstatement in the ABV game.



4. BrewDog grits its teeth and produces a 41% called Sink The Bismark that hits the beer world with surprisingly great reviews. This beer rocks.

For what its worth...I love BrewDog and everything they stand for. I welcome Sink The Bismark into my life eagerly and you should too. Do it. Find it. Drink it.

I Love Midgets!

I can't believe this is a real honest-to-god service. You can actually rent midgets. I believe the politically correct term is "little people" but that is nowhere near as fun to yell at the top of your lungs...MIDGETS!!!!!!

Now you must be asking yourself, "what would I do with a rented midget"? The mind reels with possibilities! These guys do it all, from practical jokes to bachelor parties to playing a Christmas elf at your holiday party. What you should be asking is "what wouldn't I do with a rented midget"!

All the details are at their website "rentamidget.com" but you can check out their reel here:

Family Guy Answers Palin

You may or may not have seen the recent Family Guy episode where the character Chris dates a girl named Ellen with Down syndrome. Well, while the two characters are at dinner Ellen makes a joke about Sarah Palin.

Well well well, Sarah Palin and her daughter Bristol just couldn't take a joke and immediately jumped at the chance to be in the news...yet again. Ms. Palin's son Trig just so happens to have Down syndrome and so she took aim at Family Guy saying that the show "really isn't funny" and is the work of "cruel, cold-hearted people". Bristol fired away via Facebook calling the writers "heartless jerks".

Get over it you two media whores (and maybe more than just "media"...wink wink).

One person who decided to break the silence is Andrea Fay Friedman, the 39-year-old actor and public speaker that played the role of Ellen on that show. And oh yeah, she also has Down syndrome.

I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line “I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska” was very funny. I think the word is “sarcasm.”

In my family we think laughing is good. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life.

Look at that...a talented and educated woman with a sense of humor...who actually has something of value to say. Thank you Andrea for bringing us all back to reality. Family Guy is supposed to be funny, so laugh.

That means you Palin ladies. Here is the clip again if you want to reconsider:

Prom Date Video

So...there has been some buzz around the tubes lately regarding this kid and his very reasonable wish to go to the prom with Maxim Magazine model Arianny Celeste. He's taken a unique approach and created a series of viral videos highlighting his many many fine qualities and all but down on his knees begging for her to go to prom with him.

Normally I'd tear into this high school senior (Connor Cordova) but the thing is...it actually worked!

So check out his video where his swerve, his semi-celebrity buddies and his ridiculous white-boy dance moves manage to create a cocktail that not even Maxim Magazine model Arianny Celeste could ignore.

Remember, prom is just around the corner and if you haven't scored a model date by now its time to deepen your arsenal of tricks. Head on over to Automated Man for the finest grooming products available...no model is gonna go with a scrub.

Playboy Online Casting

Wow. Playboy Argentina has caught the technology wave and is riding it all the way to your computer. For the first time ever, hopeful Playboy models can do a preliminary photo shoot right from their webcam.

A Playboy photographer can give direction and snap shots of women using their computer's webcam. Then the girls can create an online portfolio with the best pictures and submit it for voting. The best will then be selected as the new Playboy cover models.

I love this.

Fat Kids Make Me Laugh

Kraft-Cadbury, A Sweet Deal

The world's largest candy company has just been formed! Willy Wonka better watch his ass cause the U.S. super-giant Kraft Foods just acquired British candy company Cadbury in a sweet $19.5 billion takeover.

The company's roots go back to the grocery store opened in 1824 by John Cadbury in Birmingham, central England. A Quaker, Cadbury believed cocoa and drinking chocolate were healthy alternatives to alcohol, considered to add to the miseries of the working class. I suppose everyone has to pick their poison.

The new Kraft-Cadbury will represent a portfolio of over 40 confectionary brands, each with annual sales in excess of $100 million. Something tells me that not even Oompa Loompas could handle that load.


Kraft has been pursuing Cadbury since last September (officially) and hostile offer after hostile offer have been rejected. According to most financial analysts, the deal that has been reached is a "good deal for all parties".

Too Much Plastic

Reduce the amount of plastic you use and help the world live just a bit longer. This effort does not make you a tree-hugger...it makes you a better citizen of the Earth. And, while you may not care...the rest of us do!

So shape up fucker, help us all enjoy the world for a little bit longer.

Need convincing? Check out this intro for a really intelligent film called "Bag It".

After the filmmaker’s small town in Colorado challenged another small town a few hours away to see who could reduce plastic bag usage the most, the idea for the film came about – to examine the impact of plastics on the environment, marine animals and human health

Clean Your Balls

Seriously gross! Dirty sweaty balls have made victims of us all at one time or another. Oh the pain and humiliation of a soiled sac. Swamp nasty nuts strike fear into the hearts of men hoping to get laid everywhere! But what's a guy to do?

Axe has the answer..."clean your balls". But how do we do this? For centuries, men have been puzzled by this very question...until now. The clean chemists at Axe have put together the finest example of a "how-to" video ever created, in an effort to walk the male species step-by-step through the process of ball cleansing.

World Record Car Jump

Travis Pastrana brings in the new year by setting a world record car jump!

In the 2010 Red Bull New Year No Limits event, in Long Beach California, Pastrana jumped his Subaru Impreza WRX STI 269 ft breaking the previous record of 171 ft set in 2006 by his buddy Ken Block.

This guy is sick nasty. What can't he do?

When asked about the jump, the 26-year-old action sports junkie said:

Parkour Flip Book

Parkour: (sometimes also abbreviated to PK) or l'art du déplacement [1] (English: the art of moving) is the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one's path by adapting one's movements to the environment.[2] It's a non-competitive, physical discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible, as if moving in an emergency situation.

The object of parkour is to get from one place to another using only the human body and the objects in the environment. The obstacles can be anything in one's environment, but parkour is often seen practiced in urban areas because of the many suitable public structures available such as buildings and rails. Its a great form of exercise and a trend that grows stronger with every passing day.

Check out this flip book motion reel we found on Vimeo.

Hit-Girl (I might throw up)

Yeah, Nick Cage has done it again by appearing in a movie that actually makes me want to vomit it looks so effing terrible. Its called Kick-Ass and features Hit-Girl.

I guess you can head on over to the totally awesome website for details...ya know, when it actually launches. They will be calling it "iamhitgirl.com" so be sure to keep an eye out for that.

Or simply throw up all over the trailer here.


I'm not sure who the creators are targeting. With lines like "I'm just fucking with you daddy" I can only assume this isn't made for kids. But what grown man would actually watch a movie about a purple-haired pre-pubescent assassin girl???

Dude...Iron Man 2 Trailer

This is so sick. The first Iron Man rocked every other comic-made-into-movie ever produced. Now Tony Stark and crew are back for round 2...and the cast is epic!

Iron Man 2: Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, Samuel Jackson, Jon Favreau, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, etc etc etc...fucking epic.

There is a LOT more armor in this one and the villain rocks. Images and trailer below...

Alice In Wonderland

I don't know if you ever saw Return To OZ...but it was pretty fucked up. It was the story of Dorothy returning to the land of OZ many years later only to find out that things were not quite the same (and by that I mean totally evil crazy).

Well, from the twisted mind of Tim Burton comes a re-imagining of the classic story Alice In Wonderland. In this story 19-year-old Alice returns to the magical world from her childhood adventure, where she reunites with her old friends and learns of her true destiny: to end the Red Queen's reign of terror.

Of course, being a Tim Burton production all the usual suspects are present: Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen and featuring Mia Wasikowska as Alice.

Go check it, March 2010.

The trailer is pretty sick:

Dress Kate and Molly...or Don't

Once in a while a great ad campaign comes along. This is not one of them.

However, this is a pretty effing cool interactive video series where you have the power to dress these hot naked co-eds. You pick their entire outfit, right down to the bra and panties.

Alright pervs...go play.

Don't Piss Off Your Linemen

Its the offensive lines job to protect the quarterback. Simple: big guys protect the little guy. So what happens when you run your mouth a little too much and piss off the big guys? That's what Florida State's quarterback found out the hard way.

I can only assume that's what happened on Saturday's game against the Florida Gators. To be fair, it appears that the ball was snapped early...but why Zebrie Sanders doesn't move a muscle is beyond me for any other reason.

And if You Like Strong Beer

The world's strongest beer has been released "Tactical Nuclear Penguin". Now there's a name that says it all...um yeah.

Produced by a controversial UK brewery BrewDog, the 32% ABV imperial stout was aged for 16 months in Isle of Arran whiskey casks then stored at -20 degrees for 3 weeks.

BrewDog’s MD James Watt said:

"This beer is about pushing the boundaries; it is about taking innovation in beer to a whole new level. It is about achieving something which has never before been done and putting Scotland firmly on the map for progressive, craft beers."

At roughly $18 per bottle, the price tag seems worth it. You'll only need 1 bottle to plastered!

And...if you like this beer you now have the opportunity to own part of the company. This video tells all:

"Sublime" Just Ain't the Same

The latest news in the on-going Sublime controversy is that on November 3, 2009 a Los Angeles judge officially blocked the use of the name 'Sublime' by surviving bandmembers Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh. So scratch any plans you had to catch them in concert this summer.

Man this sucks! If you ask me, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Listen to any of the posthumous releases or performances by the Long Beach Dub All Stars I think you'll agree that the music has stayed true to the Sublime "way". They have carried on the Bradley's message and honored his memory every step of the "way". Regardless...

According to the Nowell family, original front-man Bradley Nowell had registered the 'Sublime' trademark under his own name prior to his death in 1996. And as part of the preliminary injunction the new lineup will be unable to perform or record under the name 'Sublime' without approval and permission from the Nowell estate.

Back on August 31st, 2009 it was announced that the remaining bandmembers (Eric and Bud) would reunite, featuring a new front man, Rome Ramirez, and would be playing Cypress Hill's Smokeout Festival on October 24th in San Bernardino, CA. It seemed that once again Sublime's message of peace and love would be brought to the ears of dedicated fans across the world!

However, the Knowell family and executors of Bradley's estate threatened Wilson, Gaugh and Rome with a lawsuit if the band used the name 'Sublime'.

It was recently announced that Sublime bassist Eric Wilson and Sublime drummer Floyd 'Bud' Gaugh are 'reuniting' and teaming with singer and guitarist Rome Ramirez in a band they intend to call 'Sublime.' Prior to his untimely passing, both Bud and Eric acknowledged that Brad Nowell was the sole owner of the name Sublime. It was Brad's expressed intention that no one use the name Sublime in any group that did not include him, and Brad even registered the trademark 'Sublime' under his own name. As Brad's heirs, and with the support of his entire family, we only want to respect his wishes and therefore have not consented to Bud and Eric calling their new project 'Sublime.'

The band responded to the lawsuit by saying:

On behalf of the band Sublime, founding members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson are thrilled by the opportunity to reconnect with their fans around the world. While we all mourn the passing of our brother and bandmate Bradley Nowell some thirteen years ago, Sublime still has a strong message of hope and love to share — a message that is especially important in these difficult times. Brad's heirs apparently do not share this vision and do not want the band Sublime to continue.

We urge everyone to join us in our message of peace and love, and we look forward to sharing the music we created — the music that defines us.

Who knows what this ruling will do to the band (or at least its name). But one thing remains clear, the band will continue to play and spread peace and love through music.

I salute Sublime and all their fans! Check out my favorite tune here:
