A special thank you …

… to Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment for possibly removing Ashton Kutcher, his new movie  and Demi Moore from Twitter.

This was a tough thank you because the TV production company creates reality shows, but sometimes — sometimes — the ends justify the means.

Rapper Big Boi addicted to shoes, accessories

It's extra not-Samantha because his ensemble is sports-related.Outkast rapper, Big Boi, is addicted to fashion — in the form of sneakers — and he’s not afraid who knows it! The grown man owns over 400 pairs. He must have some huge walk-in closets!

Mr. Boi and other “sneakerheads” collect rare special edition sneakers, focusing on rare, expensive limited editions, often made of high fashion materials like alligator skin or designed by artists.

Now, before you jump to any comparisons to the Sex in the City gals, let us remind you that these men are collecting sneakers and there’s nothing feminine about that. Nothing at all.

Breaking news of the day

A Hispanic woman was nominated to the Supreme Court. California’s court upheld a ban on same-sex marriage.  GM may possibly go out of business this week. North Korea has been shooting off short-range missiles.

None of these headlines compare to the true hot news story: an Alaskan man is now the mustache-iest man in the world.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

Eat your heart out, animals!

We think of Canada as a bunch of wusses, but in reality, they are downright scary. Luckily for us, they are also our closest allies.

PETA (People for Egregious Treason and Animals) and other traitorous organizations have sharply criticized Canada for its annual seal hunt. The groups fail to see the reason baby seals must be killed. Perhaps they would better understand if a baby seal snuck into their house at night and dragged off their children. It happens in Canada all the time.

In an act of defiance to all critics, a Canadian official gutted a freshly-killed seal, pulled out its heart and ate it raw. If that’s not a clear message, this blog has no idea what is. The official was actually Governor General Michaelle Jean. A governor general is like the Queen’s representative to England’s territories, so basically it’s like Queen Elizabeth herself ate the heart. Good show!

The heart-eating was not just to make our enemies think that Canada is bats&$t insane, but it was a message that, and this is true, traditional seal hunting is indeed humane.

“After eating the heart during a stop in Nunavut’s Rankin Inlet, Jean wiped her blood-soaked fingers with a tissue.”

Eat My Sports: Every Vick has its day

A lot of you were on the Michael Vick-hating bandwagon two years ago. I know, because I was one of you. It was easy to despise the man for organizing the dog fighting ring, and killing the animals the way that he did. What Vick did was inexcusable, and he deserved everything that he got.

For me, it was a little bit easier to turn on Vick. I never liked him. His arrogance and brashness never came across as confidence, they came across as selfish pride to a man that believed he was entitled to everything he was given. Now that all of that has been taken away from him, it is easy for me to be on his side. Continue reading Eat My Sports: Every Vick has its day

Coolest state rankings turned upside-down

After a tremendous drop to number two in Maxim Magazine‘s “Coolest States in the U.S.” ranking last year, California has now dropped several more rungs in 2009.

Today’s state Supreme Court ruling that upheld Proposition 8, banning same-sex marriage, caused the state to now lag behind most of New England and stand just above Iowa.

(Iowa, of course, legalized gay marriage, but medicinal marijuana is still illegal and there’s no surfing.)

Californians are swept up in grief and disappointment, wondering just when did they lose their edge.

Some point to when they elected a Republican governor, but he was an action movie star. Others believe it was when gays started acting too normal, getting married and adopting children that the state entered its giant middle-aged status. Still others point to the state’s financial troubles, suggesting that it may be time to “get over themselves and embrace corporate America, selling out or not.”

As mentioned Friday, Alabama managed to pull itself into 48th place in the rankings, upsetting Oklahoma, which is not Texas.

Bank error in your favor, collect $6 million

Oh sure, maybe your life isn’t going so hot right now, financially speaking, but for a few residents of Secret Pirate Island, in today’s economy, they can’t afford to not be millionaires.

A New Zealand couple were mistakenly given 10 million dollars by their bank. Apparently, it is now on like Donkey Kong. Help from Interpol, those dastardly international do-gooders, has been requested. It’s suspected that the couple have fled to Hong Kong with the money. That’ll buy a whole lot of chicken feet.

Comparatively speaking, it might be kind of fun to live that sort of life, always being on the run, buying yachts that lead to boat chases on the high seas, probably wearing sweet t-shirt/suit combinations.

Kids these days, with their rock music and their kilts …

Men don’t wear skirts. It’s just not something that is done. Sure it may make more sense ergonomically than constricting pants, but it’s just something that we men don’t do.

Now, on the other hand, it is extremely manly to wear a kilt, particularly if you are Scottish. But in Utah, they don’t take kindly to your cross dressin’ sinful behavior. It was a lesson one student learned recently, when his principal made him change his clothes after showing up to school in such a man skirt.

The principal has since been forced to apologize, because kilts are not offensive or inappropriate, they just cost a couple hundred dollars for one. They won’t throw in the codpieces, either.
