Ever hear the lame expression meant to show humility: "I put my pants on same as you, one leg at a time"? Apparently these guys did, and decided screw that, we're better than the rest of you. Even though they are obviously jobless and have nothing better to do than spend hours sitting around, thinking up new and creative ways to put their pants on two legs at a time, to show the rest of us. (We can only hope a couple of them suffered ball-threatening zipper injuries during rehearsal.)
The only redeeming value I can see for having this skill is for when you're jumping out some chick's window naked, after her husband comes home early.

On his hit cable show,
Dirty Jobs, Mike Rowe showcases regular guys who keep this great country moving. Honoring the unsung heroes who go home every night, covered in the muck and the mud, the dirt and the dust, gathered from doing the jobs you and I thankfully, don't have to do. A very noble thing, indeed.
But who knew, when left alone in his motel room, Rowe was such a dirty guy himself?

OK, I get that Bud Lite had to come out with their own lime-squeezed pseudo-cerveza following the success of Chill from rival Miller. Gotta stay competitive, even if it means messing with a classic formula.
I even get that the lame name for it, Bud Lite Lime, had to come from some decision-by-committee that probably drove the marketing people to the edge of insanity as all their more creative names got shot down. ("It's Bud Lite. It's got lime in it. How about... Bud Lite Lime!") Wouldn't want to risk confusing us unsophisticated beer drinkers with a clever name.
What I am having a hard time getting is what's up with the Lime-Guy they're using in their ads? It looks like Steve Nash and the Green M&M had a love child.

When you want to learn how to cook some fall-off-the-bone chicken, or a killer stir fry, who's the first person you should turn to? Exactly. Gansta rapper, Coolio.
Screw those other "chefs", with their proper "techniques" and fancy cooking "skills". On "Cookin With Coolio" on
MyDamnChannel.com Coolio and his ever-present Sauce Girls are keepin it real in the kitchen, y'all. Regular avocados just don't cut it here. He'll show you how to throw down a Cool-A-Cado. And how to represent with his Tricked Out Westside Tilapia.
Note: His chicken recipe calls for a "dime-bag of black pepper", so you may have to call in your dealer. Shaka-Zulu!

They had a hell of a time just trying to get to White Castle, and now they're locked up in our infamous military prison in Cuba.
On April 25th, Harold and Kumar will attempt to escape from Guanatamo Bay in their appropriately titled movie,
Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay. And in honor of their bold political statement, and apparent impending run at the White House, I've got five big prize packs to throw around.

Leave it to two degenerate gamblers to take the guy tradition of one-upsmanship and turn it into high-stakes televised pissing contest.
I Bet You, premiering tonight at 9:30pm on MOJO HD, follows the exploits of friends, championship poker pros, and Gamblers Anonymous poster children Phil "The Unabomber" Laak and Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari, two guys with pockets full of cash, who will bet against each other on virtually anything they encounter.
How many guys do you know who'll bet several hundred dollars a pop on who is a better runway model or ballet dancer, who can write a better song with help from Frank Stallone (that's a no-win situation right there), win a sumo match, drive a Formula One race car the fastest, or who has the sperm with most fertility potential? And there's the $20,000 throw down on a one-time, no whining allowed, coin toss.
Makes your "I can catch more olives in my mouth than you" deal at the bar look pretty lame.

About three months ago digital entertainment site
Cinsay.com launched with the goal of changing the way we view movies and other programming online. They wanted us, the viewing public, to not only watch the movies and shows, but be able to interact with other people watching too, and with the products and services that were part of the video.
It's the latest salvo in the search for the Holy Grail mashup of online entertainment: top-quality, free (or nearly free), online entertainment that can draw a legitimate audience; social networking features that allow for real-time fan interaction and the potential for viral distribution; and a way to monetize the whole production without ads or product placement that's obtrusive and annoying.
Is Cinsay.com the next step toward the future of interactive entertainment? Let's take a look at what they've got, and you decide.
Requirement 1: Top-quality, free (or nearly free), online entertainment that can draw a legitimate audience.
Briggs Digital Media, Cinsay.com's owner and production company, has recruited big-name Hollywood talent, and is spending big-budget Hollywood money, to create big-time Hollywood productions for online consumption. These

See? You always knew it was art. The Christiania Arts Foundation (CAF) is holding the second installment of their NEW CLASSIC NUDE Art Competition in Miami, to "identify and expose today’s version of the classic nude." So bring a date and you get to look at hundreds of nude paintings and photos, and prove to her that you do like to experience culture. Everybody wins.
Christiania, makers of premium vodka and now patron of the arts, will hold competitions four times a year (which is four times as much culture as you're used to), in major cities around the country. The winning works will be displayed on billboards in each city. (I'll pause while you imagine the effects of a 40-foot nude on a billboard in a major city.)
You can see the past winners and submissions from the New York show, as well as the current competition, at
