Bar Rafaeli's Beach Buddy Sporting a Bullet?

uhhhh….EWWWWWW.

just yesterday we were all excited that bar rafaeli was bangin’ the beach with a hot model with a cappuccino maker for a twat. now it seems that our eyesight was all wrong?

after careful examination, seriousgus tells us that the white substance is not froth, but tampon material pushing against the bathing suit…..and that the long straight white thing is a……GASP!…..tampon string.

uhhhh……EWWWWWW.

looks like we’re having red sauce with our clams tonight!

click the link above to see yesterdays post with more pictures.

this is one crazy train we’re on.

from the research department of the website that previously brought you what was probably the greatest single story in sports blog history, comes the startling knowledge that almost every man in america has had sex with someone who’s had sex with someone who’s had sex with derek jeter.

theworldofisaac has determined that most men are connected to derek jeter’s penis by a maximum of six degrees of separation.

can you taste him now?

you can read about this disturbing situation here.

it was bound to happen.  media companies who are seeing interest in their programming atrophy resulting in shrinking revenues attack a service that draws interest in their product.

red lasso announced over the weekend that, in the face of legal action, it was suspending blogger access to broadcast media vignettes commonly used for social commentary.

you can see the press release below.

our reaction?  fuck you viacom, disney, universal.  your’s is a dying medium.  you will not exist in a meaningful way in 20 years.  you are to media what the horse was to transportation in the 1910’s.  there is a freight train rolling down the tracks and you can throw your product onto it, or have it run over by it.

fuck you.

p.s.  r.i.p. red lasso beta.  you were a worthwhile service and appreciated.

REDLASSO TO SUSPEND ACCESS TO BETA SITE

COMPANY TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR
BUSINESS AND RADIO TO WEB CLIENTS

King of Prussia, PA – July 25, 2008 – In light of recent legal actions by two networks, Redlasso
(www.redlasso.com) announced today that it has no alternative but to suspend blogger access to its video search and clipping Beta site for the immediate future.  The company will continue to operate and provide services to its business and Radio To Web clients such as Greater Media and XM Satellite Radio.

The now-suspended Beta site provides bloggers with online broadcast content tools that enables them to exercise their first amendment rights to comment on newsworthy events, by searching blogger-selected TV and radio segments and creating limited duration clips for usage in blog posts.

In addition to the Beta site, Redlasso also offers two other services which will continue.  The first is a solution for businesses that allows them to track and clip content for internal use. The second service, Radio To Web, is an on-line platform that allows each radio station client to search, clip, and upload its content to its own web site and share that content online.

“We are very disappointed in the actions of select networks.  We believe we have always acted
within the law and have been respectful of the networks’ rights. Unfortunately, they have forced our hand and are denying the blogging community access to the Redlasso platform that beneficiallytracks the usage of newsworthy clips across the Web,” said Ken Hayward, CEO of Redlasso.
“Redlasso’s goal is to develop a platform that provides content owners and bloggers a viable
solution to tracking and monetizing content online, not to engage in lawsuits. In the eight months the Beta site has been in operation, we have built wide brand awareness and equity amongst the blogger and media communities. The wide spread use of our tools and platform demonstrates that the Redlasso model is a simple and elegant solution for all content owners to track and monetize content usage on the Web; content that would otherwise be untraceably spread across the Internet and used for free.”

Hayward added, “We plan to continue our conversations with all content providers during this usage suspension, with the goal of establishing formal partnerships that will be beneficial to the content owners and blogging community.”

Redlasso’s suspended Beta site is simply a tool that permits the blogging community to search
blogger selected content via keywords, enabling them to find and clip the limited duration vignettes on which they wish to comment and play on their blogs. Clip usage by bloggers is an exercise of first amendment rights to provide social commentary on newsworthy events.  Other uses of the clips by bloggers are prohibited contractually by Redlasso.  The company also employs sophisticated
technology to make inappropriate practices difficult.

from the life is becoming too complicated department:

okay.  stick with us here.  nike hyperdunk commercials are being pulled because the gay community is claiming the commercials are homophobic.

they’re not really homophobic.  just dick-in-the-face-phobic.

you see, the ad’s feature a dude dunking over another dude, with the action stopping the minute the dominant dude plants his package right on top of the other dude’s face.  at the point, the words “That Ain’t Right” flash on the screen.

brilliant, right?

apparently not.  hilary clinton’s people (the gay ones, not the black ones) are complaining that the commercial is homophobic and have convinced nike to pull the commericals.

that ain’t right.

shouldn’t there be a two-chin limit on rock-n-roll types?

here are your choices alice cooper:

1. retire 20 years ago.
2. have doctor remove a bunch of chins and donate them to dudes looking for foreskin restorations.
3. start wearing turtlenecks during your goth-rock concerts.

jesus, we don’t what’s more disturbing:  these pics of cooper, or THESE pics of iggy pop with his shirt.  it’s a rhetorical question, there’s no winner here people.

some people have no sense of humor when it comes to their private areas.

according to the philadelphiadailynews, a patient woke up after back surgery and found a rose tattoo below her bikini line.  after police and hospital administrators were consulted, it was determined that HER SURGEON had placed a TEMP TATTOO there as kind of a joke.

Take my OR Nurse, please.  HEY YOOOOOOOO!  That’s why I only do one surgery a day.  You’ve been great….please make sure you tip the people who insert your catheter.

according to the patient’s lawyer, dr. stephen kirshner, the back surgeon and budding ink artist,  “did it as a way to celebrate with the patient the successful surgery. He in no way intended to offend her.  He thought it would make her chuckle and make her feel a little better.

you knew there had to be a lawyer involved.
