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. ...There's more

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.

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. ...There's more

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 ...There's more

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 www.christiNaked.com

Thinking about getting some ink? Well don't look to your favorite celebs for inspiration. They may be fine for taking fashion cues, or maybe for a new hairstyle, (both of which are usually orchestrated by their professional stylists anyway), but some of these famous-yet-lame-brained folks have had the most ill-conceived tattoos permanently etched into their skin. One case in point: Jackass Steve-O's huge self portrait across his back. Sign of a huge overblown ego, or small underdeveloped brain. You make the call.

To see the other 19 bad ink decisions made by celebs, click over to Asylum.com and go through their photo gallery. No one ever said you had to be bright to be famous.

Think back to the best April Fool's prank you ever pulled. It was probably something along the lines of telling your parents you got kicked out of college and were going to pursue your dream of opening a body piercing parlor, or having your buddy's girlfriend convince him she was pregnant. With twins.

While it may have been hysterical to watch your buddy spend an entire day in a cold sweat, and you thought you were at the top of your pranking game, you were an amateur compared to the people who pulled off some of the most elaborate pranks of all time.

The Museum of Hoaxes has come up with their Top 100 April Fool's Day Hoaxes of all time, based on notoriety, absurdity, and the number of people duped. Which in a lot of cases was hundreds of thousands of people. Proving that no matter how ridiculous something may sound, scores of people will believe it. (Somewhere on Madison Avenue ad execs are smiling.)

These are well thought out, widely distributed hoaxes that had people fooled all over the world. And below are the top ten of all time. Which should give fuel to your next April Fool's fire. The other 90 (should you have that kind of time), can be found here, along with links to the full story of each prank.

#10 - Planetary Alignment Decreases Gravity
Prank: In 1976, British astronomer Patrick Moore announced on BBC Radio 2 that at 9:47 AM a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event was going to occur. He said the planet Pluto (still a planet back then), would pass behind Jupiter, temporarily causing an alignment that would counteract and lessen the Earth's own gravity. So, if they jumped in the air at that exact moment, they would experience a strange floating sensation.
Result: BBC2 got hundreds of phone calls from listeners swearing they felt the sensation. One woman even reported that ...There's more
