Within a half an hour of the Red Sox season ending with a resounding thud against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of the United States of the World, an old, familiar feeling came creeping back, that emptiness you feel when you are passionate about a team, and in the end, your deepest hopes came up short as they always do majority of the time. The pain recently hasn’t been as sharp as it was before 2004, two World Series titles will do that to a fanbase that never expected to see a title in their lifetime. But along the course of a long season, you forget, blissfully, of what the ending of the previous year had brought. But then, ever so cruelly, you get reminded, seemingly on an annual basis.
This year though, I’m not bitter. Disappointed, maybe, but my pain as a Red Sox fan isn’t what it used to be when all October brought was a nice little reminder of how God hated the Red Sox. This year concluded just about everything I wanted to see as a fan the Sox. I’ve seen my World Series wins, I can die happily now, but this year I got to actually go to Fenway.
Not only did I get to soak in the rich, cultural experience that is Boston, but I got to have my first Red Sox home game be a win that Josh Beckett pitched against the Yankees. I saw an obviously aging Mike Lowell slam a game-clinching home run over the Monster, I saw Jason Varitek in all of his offensive glory hit a grand slam, I got to drink beer and scream at Johnny Damon simultaneously, and it was as beautiful as I thought revenge could be.

As the print world spirals into oblivion, magazines are trying everything to hold on to their empires. One of the most famous, Playboy, demonstrates just how little relevance they actually hold.
In an attempt to snare younger readers with “hip” imagery, Playboy featured Marge Simpson on their November cover.
You know, from The Simpsons?
That show you may have watched 10 years ago? They’re retro hip now like Saved by the Bell, Limp Bizkit and AIDS, right?
In related news, Playboy has finally embraced the sad cartoon porn market, which is already dominated online.

Sometimes science provides awesome results. And sometimes, the results create hilarious headlines that everyone should be able to laugh at.
If someone hasn’t attempted to trademark the name “Erection Cream”, then capitalism is dead.

For fans of the late Michael Jackson you’ve got one more pill to swallow to help ease the pain. Jackson’s “last single,” appropriately titled “This Is It” hit the web on Monday. Though the song originated in 1983, we believe that this only confirms our theory that Jackson is the new 2Pac.

Traditionally, zoos are a great place to go. You can spend the day taunting animals, as well as take notes on what the enemy looks like. But that’s not the case in Gaza, because nothing is normal in that part of the world.
At one zoo in Gaza, the zebras are not all they seem. Sure, they’re white with black stripes, but there’s just something off. The stripes on the legs are horizontal instead of vertical and their manes are not black. Why, these animals are imposters.
In fact, they are donkeys that are dyed to look like zebras. This means that the zebras that were supposed to be there are missing!
