Out on Her ASS?

She could overcome any obstacle except for the Sport Illustrated curse. No, seriously, we don't think there's any curse involved with the cover but there is with over hype. Though we do think it would make for an awesome Olympics seeing Vonn's buns in action. Will cheese (yes, cheese) save her Olympic dreams...and our wet ones?




VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Lindsey Vonn didn’t want to know how badly she might have hurt her right leg when she tumbled over her skis during a slalom training run in Austria nine days ago, so she refused to have X-rays.

“I didn’t want to hear that my shin was fractured,’’ the world’s best female skier said yesterday morning. “Because at the time, that’s what it felt like.’’

Until she takes a practice run today - her first time on skis since she sustained a deep tissue bruise when her boot jammed into her lower leg - Vonn won’t know whether she can race in Sunday’s super combined or even compete in the Olympics at all.

Feds push for tracking cell phones

We've said before, we'll say it again. When your government turns into the bad guys in a Shia LeBeouf film, it's time for a little 1776-style action




Two years ago, when the FBI was stymied by a band of armed robbers known as the "Scarecrow Bandits" that had robbed more than 20 Texas banks, it came up with a novel method of locating the thieves.

FBI agents obtained logs from mobile phone companies corresponding to what their cellular towers had recorded at the time of a dozen different bank robberies in the Dallas area. The voluminous records showed that two phones had made calls around the time of all 12 heists, and that those phones belonged to men named Tony Hewitt and Corey Duffey. A jury eventually convicted the duo of multiple bank robbery and weapons charges.

In that case, the Obama administration has argued that warrantless tracking is permitted because Americans enjoy no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in their--or at least their cell phones'--whereabouts. U.S. Department of Justice lawyers say that "a customer's Fourth Amendment rights are not violated when the phone company reveals to the government its own records" that show where a mobile device placed and received calls.

John Mayer: Your N-Word Pass is REVOKED

John "Some of my best friends are Black" Mayer needs a slap but tell us more about Jessica Simpson in bed




John Mayer has apologised for using a racist epithet in a recent interview with Playboy magazine, after a number of prominent black musicians aired their disapproval. Mayer, 32, told an interviewer: "Someone asked me the other day, 'What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?' And by the way, it's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a nigger pass."

Why Do Men Die Younger Than Women?

...because we thought masturbation could substitute for exercise?



We take it for granted that women live longer than men. This is the case in over 98 percent of countries in the world. In the United States, average life expectancy is over five years more for women than for men.

But why is this the case? Why is it that for every major cause of mortality that affects both men and women, men die faster?

Illegal immigrant numbers plunge

You know things are bad when illegal immigrants are opting to staying in their third world countries. How long before WE are the ones sneaking into other countries?

Duh! [below is a photo of Lisa Loeb, a MILF in glasses we actually enjoy]

Dry Cleaning Chemical 'Likely' Causes Cancer

We know that "everything" causes cancer, we just want you to have an itemized list. Other things that may someday proven to cause cancer: puppies, boobs and Family Guy reruns.





Feb. 9, 2010 - PERC really is a "likely human carcinogen," the National Academy of Sciences says.

PERC is a chemical known as perchloroethylene or tetrachloroethylene. It's the solvent used by about 85% of U.S. dry cleaners, but is also used as a metal degreaser and in the production of many other chemicals.

PERC is found in the air, in drinking water, and in soil. It can be detected in most people's blood, as well as in breast milk. What's the risk?
