Venus fashion fail

I try to think of clever puns to go along with things I stumble upon on the net.  Sometimes words totally fail me.  This is one of those times:   That is Venus Williams playing at the French Open.  Needless to say, Venus won.  I’m guessing her opponent couldn’t focus on the game too well.  Probably distracted.  Possibly petrified.

The annual Miss USA scandal – 2010 edition

Another year, another beauty queen scandal.  I don’t know how humanity survives.  Last year we had a gay guy ask a straight religious beauty queen contestant what she thought about gay marriage.  Oddly enough, the straight religious chick didn’t see any use for it.  The gay guy got mad.  The straight religious chick lost her title.  It probably helped she… (more…)

Do you mean Eyjafjallajokull?

The second greatest US public awareness ad of all time.

Just wondering how many of them are fleeing Pennsylvania for a less Orwellian existance?  Or maybe planning the resistance? Not sure my all time favorite… (more…)

70 the new 30

Raquel Welch has written a tell-all book about, well, herself.  She calls it Raquel: Beyond the Cleavage.  In that book she complains about people looking at her as a pair of boobs and not much else.  She was more than to me.  She was smoking hot AND had great cleavage.  Lots of people can act, that’s no big deal.  Not… (more…)

Furry Vengeance

Loved it. This is typical Brendan Fraser pre-Mummy humor that tries so hard to catch the early magic that it even has an Encino Man scene.  I enjoyed seeing Brooke Shields too.  The only real downside was we saw way too much of Brendan’s flesh and not nearly enough of Brooke.  The humor is exactly what you expected from the… (more…)
