Oh no, parents will actually have to watch what their children do now.

I remember when Bart Simpson t-shirts were banned from my school. It caused a bigger uproar than if they would have just let the kids wear the shirts.

It's the same girls pics... no matter what zipcode you put in.

This movie could be a bigger disaster than showgirls... but i don't care.

Sleet, what's sleet?

You stay classy, Saudi Arabia.

Maybe he is looking for someone to give him "the talk" before the big night.

http://www.bigplansbigcrash.com/10-drinks-...e-you-puke.html Top 10 drinks / shots that will make you puke: * The Stinger (or Stanger) - A shot of Vladdy in a glass of Natty (or Natty Ice). This drink was invented by a severely intoxicated Mike Heffernan one night at Pitt. We decided it would help us get extra drunk and it instead only made me hate my life the next morning. * 252 - Half 151, Half Wild Turkey. Total puke through your nose - the kind that burns for hours. * Three Wisemen - Jack, Johnny and Jim. The three J’s of death. Suprisingly, this shot tastes better coming back up. True Story. * Cement Mixer - Fill one shot glass with Bailey’s. Fill second shot glass with Lime and 151. Shake you mouth back and forth and let the good times roll. I had this on my buddy’s 21st and it was absolutely terrible, especially since I had to chew it down. * Motor Oil - A shot of bourbon mixed with Hershey’s Syrup. You can’t get this one at most bars as they don’t usually carry Hersey’s syrup. While it might sound tasty, it’s far from it. * Prairie Fire - Tequila and Tabasco sauce. It will put some hair on your ass no doubt. * Poop Dollar - This is an original, although I am not sure who came up with it. We went out for a friends birthday and made this ridiculous shot called the Poop Dollar. Knob Creek, Bailey’s and Jager. Gives the shot a nice “feces brown” color. Hey, THERES POOP ON THAT DOLLAR! * Four Horsemen - 151, Rumple Minz, Cuervo and Jager. Alone, they are nasty but when mixed they make you orgasm. Seriously. * High Crown - 10 High Whiskey + Crown Russe Vodka. While I have never had this one, it can’t be that bad. Crown Russe goes down easy with anything… * Jager chased with some chest hair - Another orginal. Nothing beats some Jager from the chest with some nipple hair to add some texture. Barf.

I heard sporty spice put on quite a bit of weight.

http://kutv.com/topstories/local_story_069202244.html Sex Predator Skips Town, Seen On 'Jerry Springer' RACINE, Wis. - An accused child molester cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet, then took a limousine to Chicago to appear on "The Jerry Springer Show," authorities said. A judge set bail Friday at $50,000 for Mario Sims, 21, who had been awaiting trial on 2004 charges of child enticement and first-degree sexual assault of a child. Defense lawyer Margaret Johnson argued against the bail amount, but Racine County Circuit Judge Emily Mueller stood firm. "A significant bond is legally necessary given the fact he absconded, admittedly for one of the more unique reasons I've heard in my time on the bench," the judge said. According to court records, Sims had been out of jail about three weeks when he cut off the bracelet and missed a court date Sept. 6. His defense attorney at the time, Domingo Cruz, told the judge his client was seen getting into the television show's limousine. Sims appeared on an episode of the show that aired last fall. A TV.com Web site teaser for it said: "Outrageous nuptials! Returning guest Mario is a proud father and is ready to marry his baby's mother — who's also his half-sister." A message left for Johnson was not returned Friday. A message left for a producer of the "Jerry Springer Show" was not immediately returned Saturday morning.

After months of speculation, it has been reported that the pop group has agreed to the reunion, after watching the runaway comeback success of fellow British popsters Take That. Mel B (Scary Spice), Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice), and Mel C (Sporty Spice) are apparently "good friends" now and are seeking $5 million each to agree to play together again. There is no word on whether Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), who is pregnant at the moment, would participate. Reports emerging today claim that an autumn reunion tour would also feature retired boy band Boyzone. "They are really keen to do it if there is a charity angle," a source revealed. "They are talking about doing it for Bono's [RED] campaign. It's been on the cards for a while, at least a couple of months. They are all good friends now." The Spice Girls split up in 2000 following the release of their final album, Forever.

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/coll...adlines-college QB Leak surprised by Wonderlic rumor He didn't know he'd allegedly gotten an 8 on the test, and he declined to say what he did get. GAINESVILLE -- As usual, Chris Leak said he hadn't heard the buzz. So when informed that his alleged score of eight on the Wonderlic Personnel Test at last month's NFL Scouting Combine had become a popular Internet topic, he seemed stunned. Click here to find out more! "An eight?" asked Leak, who declined to give his Wonderlic score. "How do you get an eight on that thing?" Leak threw passes Wednesday at Florida Field as part of the Gators' "Pro Scout Day." Representatives from 32 NFL teams watched 23 former college players, including 21 from UF's national-title team, lift weights and run sprints in a more familiar setting than Indianapolis' combine. Leak said he heard no negative feedback from pro coaches and executives at the combine, and that NFL officials stressed Wonderlic scores, which range from zero to 50, would be kept confidential. Last spring, word leaked that Texas quarterback Vince Young had scored a six on the test, causing a stir in the football community. Most analysts say Leak's performances in workouts and at the Senior Bowl haven't hurt his second-day draft prospects. Leak said pro coaches have reassured him he can excel despite his sub-6-foot height and seemed pleased with his play and attitude. "All the people at the combine said I did fine on everything," he said. Linebacker Brandon Siler, Leak's former Florida teammate, also excelled at the combine. His 4.62-second time in the 40-yard dash there was good enough for him to pass on running again Wednesday. After a workout with fellow linebackers Earl Everett and Brian Crum, Siler said he figures he'll be drafted late in the first round or early in the second. "This is an incredible time in my life," said Siler, an Evans High graduate. "A lot of people put so much pressure on themselves that they stop having fun. In a short time, I can win an SEC championship, a national championship and declare to go to the NFL draft. Now you sit back and wait to have your name called at the draft. It's a dream that you have when you're a little kid." Siler is one of nine starters gone from UF's defense. Wednesday, Coach Urban Meyer said he and his assistants have spent time shifting players to help rebuild the unit. Rising junior Markus Manson, who had been a tailback, will spend spring practice at cornerback, Meyer said. And freshman Joe Haden, a star receiver and cornerback out of Maryland who enrolled last month, will work on both sides of the ball during spring. "They're great athletes," Meyer said, "and we need to get them on the field."

I see the UFC doesn't drug test.

http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/co...&id=2784340 Morrison to continue comeback Tommy Morrison AP Photo/Keith Srakocic Tommy Morrison, left, dispatched John Castle within two rounds in their Feb. 22 bout. The controversial comeback of heavyweight Tommy Morrison could continue in Texas. Morrison, 38, tested positive for HIV, the virus known to cause AIDS, in Las Vegas in 1996 and was suspended indefinitely. However, he recently passed a battery of blood tests and was licensed to fight in West Virginia, where he knocked out John Castle in the second round on Feb. 22. It was Morrison's first fight in more than 10 years. Now, Morrison (47-3-1, 41 KOs) could be headed to San Antonio to box on the untelevised portion of the April 14 Manny Pacquiao-Jorge Solis pay-per-view card, according to Top Rank promoter Bob Arum. "We may put Tommy on that card," Arum told ESPN.com. "We'd like to put him on the card. We have to talk to Tommy and get in touch with the Texas commission." Morrison wants to be on the show. "We got one fight under our belt and it felt good," Morrison said. "I believe I will fight again on that card. Then Top Rank has a card June 9 in Madison Square Garden in New York, and maybe I will also fight on that card." Morrison took blood tests in Arizona, where he lives, earlier this year, and the clean results were forwarded to West Virginia. Some have questioned the validity of the tests, but John Montano, boxing director of the Arizona commission, told ESPN.com that he personally witnessed the blood that was tested being drawn from Morrison's arm. "He did take blood tests here in Arizona and, yes, I did witness the blood being taken," Montano said. Dickie Cole of Texas' Combative Sports Department and Patrick Shaughnessy, information officer for the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (which oversees Cole's office), both told ESPN.com that as long as Morrison passes Texas' standard tests, which include an HIV blood test, he would be licensed. "For any fighter, if he submits an application and passes our physical requirements then, bing, we have to issue a license," Cole said. Under Texas rules, blood tests must be administered by a licensed doctor in the United States within 30 days of the application being filed. That means Morrison's Arizona tests would be outdated. "If Dickie Cole wants him to have more blood tests, no problem," Arum said. "The guy is HIV negative. He took a bunch of tests. One test cost $3,000. We made him take sophisticated tests. If he passes the blood test again, they will allow him to fight." Texas would accept results from tests taken in another state, but "we'd prefer to have one of our ringside physicians administer it," Cole said. "We just want to make damn sure he's capable of fighting. We just want Tommy to be safe to fight and have it be safe for his opponent and the referee to crawl in the ring. As long as he passes his medical tests, there would be no reason he can't fight." Morrison said he just wants to continue his career. Taking additional tests are no problem. "Absolutely, I don't have any problem with that," Morrison said. "Any place we go, we will pass their tests and they will have to let me fight. Each time we fight and win, it strengthens our case. It will become less and less of an issue. We'll have to jump through some hoops for the next few months, but then it will die down and I can just get on with business." Morrison hopes to eventually work his way back into a big fight. He mentioned an eventual match with ex-champ Riddick Bowe or a rematch with Ray Mercer. But he really wants to fight James Toney. "Toney is someone I want to fight down the line," Morrison said. "I will put him in the hospital. I don't like him. I don't like his attitude. He doesn't represent being a contender the way it should be done. He walks around like he's the second coming and he looks like a 38-year-old truck driver."

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21325065-2,00.html Britney 'attempted rehab suicide' March 05, 2007 01:00am BRITNEY Spears has flipped her lid in rehab, trying to hang herself with a bedsheet after screaming "I am the anti-christ" to frightened staff. She made the demonic cry after scrawling the devil's number "666" across her head. Spears's manic behaviour has concerned relatives who once again fear for her safety, and has staff at the Promises Clinic in Malibu, California struggling to cope. The former chart-topper's troubles have been revealed in Britain's News Of the World, which broke the exclusive story. Within days of her suicidal behaviour, Spears - who was in and out of rehab before shaving her own head and later attacking a photographer's car with an umbrella - was begging estranged husband Kevin Federline not only for a reconciliation, but demanding she wanted to soon have another baby. The ordeal began when she terrified staff by writing the number of the beast on her head and running around the clinic screaming, "I am the anti-christ!" "The clinic people just didn't know what to do," a friend claimed. The pop star then tried to hang herself with a bedsheet was but was found before she could hurt herself.

http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2007/03/02...26_123_1_07.txt School: Adolescent prank could bring permanent injury By: Associated Press - SHINGLE SPRINGS, Calif. -- A common adolescent locker room prank may have permanently injured a Shingle Springs high school freshman, and could result in criminal charges against the prankster. A 17-year-old Ponderosa High School junior performed a "cup check" on a 14-year-old freshman teammate after a snowboard team competition Feb. 12 at the Sierra-at-Tahoe ski resort, according to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department. A "cup check" is when one boy strikes at another's groin area, ostensibly to find out if his teammate is wearing a protective cup. "It's something that teenage boys do, I don't know why," said sheriff's Lt. Kevin House. In this case, the freshman wasn't wearing a cup, and fell to his knees in pain, according to a sheriff's department report. When he was still complaining of pain Feb. 19, his mother took him to the emergency room. There, doctors found he had internal bleeding and an infection, and said he could lose one or both of his testicles. Investigators are considering criminal charges against the teammate, who says he meant no harm, House said. Another Ponderosa senior, Jason Dyer, said the prank is popular among student athletes in most locker rooms. "It's just as prevalent as any football thing," Dyer said. "We don't do it excessively."

http://www.dailyrecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a...IES11/703010351 Doctor sues girl, 11, over inline-skating collision Says her negligence caused injuries in Chester Twp. BY PEGGY WRIGHT A bicycling doctor has sued his then-11-year-old inline-skating neighbor for pain and suffering after they collided on their Chester Township street in 2003. Their trial is under way in Morristown this week. Lauren Ellis was inline-skating down her street on a fall afternoon when she collided with an adult neighbor, a prominent fertility doctor, who was bicycling. Dr. Alexander Dlugi, now 54, sued the child, claiming she was negligent and caused the collision by reacting unreasonably when he approached her from behind on Sugar Maple Row, shouted "watch out" and rang his bicycle bell. This week, the seven-member jury in the civil trial pitting the endocrinologist against Ellis, now a 15-year-old freshman at West Morris-Mendham High School, heard testimony from the teenager and Dlugi, and opinions from an accident-reconstruction specialist. The accident expert said on Wednesday Dlugi could have avoided the collision by simply riding around the skater. Doctor's case Dlugi was an owner of the Bedminster-based Center for Reproductive Endocrinology at the time of the accident, and remains a fertility specialist and part-owner of the center. He broke his collarbone when he tumbled from his bike. His attorney, Thomas Jardim, said the doctor's injury did not heal properly or quickly, so he underwent surgery in February 2004, and missed a significant amount of work and income. The doctor has difficulty sleeping well, has lost mobility in his right shoulder and enjoyment of sports he used to excel at, including biking, swimming and tennis, Jardim said. Ellis was bruised when the collision knocked her to the ground, but her parents, Jon and Janet Ellis, did not file a counter-suit. "It may seem like an odd thing," Jardim said, of the lawsuit against the child. "But people are responsible for their actions." He said the law recognizes that minors over the age of 7 are presumed responsible for their actions, as adults are. A defense witness For Wednesday's testimony from John Desch, the president of an accident-reconstruction firm based in Riverdale, diagrams, photographs, an easel and ruler were used for an analysis of the encounter between the exercising neighbors on Oct. 19, 2003. Desch, who was called as a witness by Ellis' attorney, Joe Accardi, concluded that the girl did not do anything wrong, under the circumstances. The girl was skating, generally on the right side of Sugar Maple Row, and Dlugi had passed her once on his first bicycle loop around the neighborhood. Ellis stopped skating and stepped to the curb when she noticed two approaching vehicles. She stepped back into the road -- with Dlugi a distance behind her on his bicycle -- and resumed skating. Then Dlugi decided to overtake and pass the girl on the road, Desch said. Wrong move to left Dlugi, who was traveling at no more than 8 mph, rang his bell and called out as he neared her. Hearing the noises, the girl turned around to see Dlugi waving at her and drawing near, and she tried to get out of his way but actually moved into his path and they collided, Desch explained. "She's startled by the presence of the bicyclist. She takes evasive action to avoid an impending collision and moved further to the left," Desch said. "I don't find any fault with her actions at all." He opined further that Dlugi should have fully braked, or maintained better control of his bicycle, and could have avoided the entanglement with the skater by riding around her in silence. Jardim, the doctor's lawyer, sought to discredit Desch's opinions by noting he never investigated a collision between a bicyclist and a skater, and misidentified on his diagram the actual point of their crash. But Desch stuck fast to his opinion that the girl, ahead of the doctor on the same side of the road, had more rights than Dlugi did to her position on the street. The trial before Superior Court Judge W. Hunt Dumont resumes today with testimony from medical doctors. Closing arguments are set for Monday.

Link Sales of Rap Albums Take Stunning Nosedive Thursday , March 01, 2007 NEW YORK — Maybe it was the umpteenth coke-dealing anthem or soft-porn music video. Perhaps it was the preening antics that some call reminiscent of Stepin Fetchit. The turning point is hard to pinpoint. But after 30 years of growing popularity, rap music is now struggling with an alarming sales decline and growing criticism from within about the culture's negative effect on society. Rap insider Chuck Creekmur, who runs the leading Web site Allhiphop.com, says he got a message from a friend recently "asking me to hook her up with some Red Hot Chili Peppers because she said she's through with rap. A lot of people are sick of rap ... the negativity is just over the top now." The rapper Nas, considered one of the greats, challenged the condition of the art form when he titled his latest album "Hip-Hop is Dead." It's at least ailing, according to recent statistics: Though music sales are down overall, rap sales slid a whopping 21 percent from 2005 to 2006, and for the first time in 12 years no rap album was among the top 10 sellers of the year. A recent study by the Black Youth Project showed a majority of youth think rap has too many violent images. In a poll of black Americans by The Associated Press and AOL-Black Voices last year, 50 percent of respondents said hip-hop was a negative force in American society. Nicole Duncan-Smith grew up on rap, worked in the rap industry for years and is married to a hip-hop producer. She still listens to rap, but says it no longer speaks to or for her. She wrote the children's book "I Am Hip-Hop" partly to create something positive about rap for young children, including her 4-year-old daughter. "I'm not removed from it, but I can't really tell the difference between Young Jeezy and Yung Joc. It's the same dumb stuff to me," says Duncan-Smith, 33. "I can't listen to that nonsense ... I can't listen to another black man talk about you don't come to the 'hood anymore and ghetto revivals ... I'm from the 'hood. How can you tell me you want to revive it? How about you want to change it? Rejuvenate it?" Hip-hop also seems to be increasingly blamed for a variety of social ills. Studies have attempted to link it to everything from teen drug use to increased sexual activity among young girls. Even the mayhem that broke out in Las Vegas during last week's NBA All-Star Game was blamed on hip-hoppers. "(NBA Commissioner) David Stern seriously needs to consider moving the event out of the country for the next couple of years in hopes that young, hip-hop hoodlums would find another event to terrorize," columnist Jason Whitlock, who is black, wrote on AOL. While rap has been in essence pop music for years, and most rap consumers are white, some worry that the black community is suffering from hip-hop — from the way America perceives blacks to the attitudes and images being adopted by black youth. But the rapper David Banner derides the growing criticism as blacks joining America's attack on young black men who are only reflecting the crushing problems within their communities. Besides, he says, that's the kind of music America wants to hear. "Look at the music that gets us popular — 'Like a Pimp,'," says Banner, naming his hit. "What makes it so difficult is to know that we need to be doing other things. But the truth is at least us talking about what we're talking about, we can bring certain things to the light," he says. "They want (black artists) to shuck and jive, but they don't want us to tell the real story because they're connected to it." Criticism of hip-hop is certainly nothing new — it's as much a part of the culture as the beats and rhymes. Among the early accusations were that rap wasn't true music, its lyrics were too raw, its street message too polarizing. But they rarely came from the youthful audience itself, which was enraptured with genre that defined them as none other could. "As people within the hip-hop generation get older, I think the criticism is increasing," says author Bakari Kitwana, who is currently part of a lecture tour titled "Does Hip-Hop Hate Women?" "There was a more of a tendency when we were younger to be more defensive of it," he adds. During her '90s crusade against rap's habit of degrading women, the late black activist C. Dolores Tucker certainly had few allies within the hip-hop community, or even among young black women. Backed by folks like conservative Republican William Bennett, Tucker was vilified within rap circles. In retrospect, "many of us weren't listening," says Tracy Denean Sharpley-Whiting, a professor at Vanderbilt University and author of the new book "Pimps Up, Ho's Down: Hip-Hop's Hold On Young Black Women." "She was onto something, but most of us said, 'They're not calling me a ######, they're not talking about me, they're talking about THOSE women.' But then it became clear that, you know what? Those women can be any women." One rap fan, Bryan Hunt, made the searing documentary "Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes," which debuted on PBS this month. Hunt addresses the biggest criticisms of rap, from its treatment of women to the glorification of the gangsta lifestyle that has become the default posture for many of today's most popular rappers. "I love hip-hop," Hunt, 36, says in the documentary. "I sometimes feel bad for criticizing hip-hop, but I want to get us men to take a look at ourselves." Even dances that may seem innocuous are not above the fray. Last summer, as the "Chicken Noodle Soup" song and accompanying dance became a sensation, Baltimore Sun pop critic Rashod D. Ollison mused that the dance — demonstrated in the video by young people stomping wildly from side to side — was part of the growing minstrelization of rap music. "The music, dances and images in the video are clearly reminiscent of the era when pop culture reduced blacks to caricatures: lazy 'coons,' grinning 'pickaninnies,' sexually super-charged 'bucks,"' he wrote. And then there's the criminal aspect that has long been a part of rap. In the '70s, groups may have rapped about drug dealing and street violence, but rap stars weren't the embodiment of criminals themselves. Today, the most popular and successful rappers boast about who has murdered more foes and rhyme about dealing drugs as breezily as other artists sing about love. Creekmur says music labels have overfed the public on gangsta rap, obscuring artists who represent more positive and varied aspects of black life, like Talib Kweli, Common and Lupe Fiasco. "It boils down to a complete lack of balance, and whenever there's a complete lack of balance people are going to reject it, whether it's positive or negative," Creekmur says. Yet Banner says there's a reason why acts like KRS-One and Public Enemy don't sell anymore. He recalled that even his own fans rebuffed positive songs he made — like "Cadillac on 22s," about staying away from street life — in favor of songs like "Like a Pimp." "The American public had an opportunity to pick what they wanted from David Banner," he says. "I wish America would just be honest. America is sick. ... America loves violence and sex."

http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/3976218a28.html Buy a fake friend for your MySpace page In the superficial world of online social networking, popularity has become a commodity that is bought and sold. FakeYourSpace.com - a companion service for MySpace, Friendster and Facebook - will from March 1 allow customers to buy attractive "friends" for displaying on their profile pages. "If you are tired of seeing everyone else with the hottest friends and want some hotties of your own, then this is the place for you," reads a brief published on the company's website. Customers are presented with a selection of images of scantily clad men and women, each of which front fake profile pages registered with the popular social networking sites. The sales pitch reads like that of an adult escort service: "We have a wide selection of men and women of all ethnic backgrounds." The profiles are crafted by FakeYourSpace founder Brant Walker and his team, using photographs sourced from modelling agencies. A monthly charge of 99 US cents rents one friend, who will leave the client two comments a week. Customers are even able to choose the exact wording of those comments, which are then displayed prominently on their MySpace, Friendster or Facebook profiles. Walker says this will lead others who stumble across your profile to believe you are more popular than you really are, and are friends with more attractive people. A sole testimonial published on the FakeYourSpace website, written by "Lindsay from San Diego", reads: "FakeYourSpace changed my online life. I have never been so popular!" The site was launched late last year but, The New York Times reported that business was halted temporarily when iStockPhoto.com, which supplied photographs of models to the service, said FakeYourSpace had failed to comply with its licensing agreement. It is understood that the company's use of the photos wrongly implied the models endorsed the product. The business relaunches on March 1 using pictures from new sources. In the mean time, a "free friend" is being offered to those who sign up to the FakeYourSpace mailing list. Of the sites supported by FakeYourSpace, MySpace is by far the most popular among Australians. According to traffic monitoring firm Hitwise, myspace.com was the sixth most popular website visited by Australians last month. MySpace Australia boss Rebekah Horne did not return calls requesting comment for this story.
