Canadian Man Worst Liar Ever, Gets Away With Rape
Topic: Stupidity

We are now convinced that Canadians are just like they talk; a little slow.

An Ontario man was recently acquitted from rape charges after he said he was involuntarily having sex with a woman because he has "sexsomnia." Yes, the man made up the term "sexsomnia" and the court believed him.

So what is Sexsomnia, you might ask? Well, according to a probably paid-off sleep expert, it's a disease where the subject shows involuntarily sexual behavior while asleep. This is complete shit, as any semi-intelligent person knows.

The story of the alleged rape goes that the man met a woman at a party. The two got drunk and fell asleep. When the woman woke up, the alleged rapist had a condom on and was having sex with her. She pushed him off, and he "woke up," shocked that he was doing so.

Mmm-kay now, does anyone still believe this douche besides the jury? Probably what happened was this;

Man met girl. Both got trounced on Schnapps and Labatt, or whatever they drink up there. They snuck off and started to have sex. She sobered up and realized he wasn't attractive. She cried rape out of embarrassment. He one-upped her and somehow convinced the jury he was a new sleep phenomenon.

That sounds a bit more believable.

North Carolina Wins Kill the Millenium Man Award! 1000th Execution in USA reached!
Topic: National News

Congratulations to North Carolina, who helped America reach the 1000th execution since approving the death penalty in 1977. Kenneth Boyd, who murdered his wife by unloading a .357 into her while her son was hiding under her body.

Nice guy.

Anyway, he's dead, the milestone has hit, and now every defense attorney is acting as if it's a bad thing. We, however, are quite glad that capital punishment exists, because people that shoot their wives in the back while their sons are in the room don't really deserve second chances. Then again, people that don't use turn signals when changing lanes don't deserve second chances to get out of the way of my bumper either, but that's neither here nor there.

An American Cat Out of Paris, or "How to Not Dump Your Kitten"
Topic: National News

Emily the tabby cat has had one shitty first year of life. After running away from home and hiding in a paper plant, the kitty wound up stuffed into bales of paper, shipped to Chicago, and then literally SHIPPED, like, on a big boat, to Belgium. She was later discovered in a plant in Nancy, France.

Instead of eating her, as French people are wont to do, the workers at the plant called the vet's name on her tags, who put her in touch with her owners in Wisconsin. So now she's on her way back and should be arriving home any time today, accompanied by a rep from Continental Airlines, who desperately needs the positive PR and is flying Emily home business class, free of charge, which turns out to be a $6,000 bargain.

Lucky cat. We usually get seats by the engine or toilets. Nothing like smelling airline food both before and after for six hours.

Pope Joey Rat To Get Rid of Limbo!? But What Will Happen to the Floating Babies?
Topic: World News

Catholics around the world are splitting into two warring sides over the possibility that Pope Joey Rat is planning on abolishing the teaching of "Limbo," the third part to the Heaven/Hell trifecta. Limbo is reserved for unbaptized babies, because it's really not their fault that they died before they had a chance to be saved.

However, it wasn't Pope Nazi Mafia that suggested this. It was, in fact, Pope John Paul II. His reasoning behind was to create a more coherent way of describing what happens to these infants. Man, we wish we were in a religion where our leaders could just change the entire concept of Heaven and Hell.

The commission that is making the decision has been meeting for a while behind lock and key, but word is they'll have an answer soon, and then we'll know if all those babies just floating around in the afterlife with no one to change them will finally be able to go to Heaven or just disappear almost as quickly as our society killed God with this nonsensical shit.

Seattle is the New Mississippi, Horses are the New Sheep
Topic: Stupidity

The Scottish are smart for taking their sexual frustrations out on sheep. Well, relatively speaking, when compared to James Michael Tait and Kenneth Pinyan of Washington, anyone is smart. Pinyan was killed after he and Tait broke into a barn with the intentions of having sex with a horse.

That might not have sunk in, so we'll say it again.





Broke into a barn.






To have sex with a horse.






Pinyan died from being kicked multiple times when he, god help us for saying this, tried to mount the horse. Tait was convicted of, we're not kidding, "entering a barn without the owner's permission." This is why we hate Seattle. In Texas, we call this trespassing. And even attempting to have sex with a four legged creature is illegal.

Way to go Seattle. You are truly the most progressive state of cornholers we have ever seen.

French Doctors Transplant Half a Face! No Word On Whether or Not It was John Travolta or Nic Cage
Topic: World News

A team of French doctors successfully transplanted lips, a chin and a nose onto a woman who had been mauled by a dog. While doctors said that they didn't think they could do a whole face, skin and all, in one big swoop like they would have to do, this surgery is promising to the possibility of changing one's entire appearance without putting a dress on.

There are problems that can be associated with this surgery, however, including lots of drugs that will have to be taken until the patient dies, and the increased risk of cancer that comes along with this pills. So we're not at Face/Off level yet, but we're getting there.

We'll have an update on Friday, when our new Bride of Frankenstein gets out of ICU.

Handymen of the World Rejoice! TSA Allows Scissors, Some Tools on Airplanes
Topic: National News

The Transportation Security Administration, otherwise known as those motherfuckers that root through your shit and steal whatever they want in the name of "safety" while you're getting groped at the xray counter, have finally decided that hey, your five-year-old can't take down a plane with a set of orange plastic scissors and, hmm, maybe you should be allowed to carry a small toolkit with you when traveling.

But a fingernail file? Get off the plane you terrorist son of a bitch. TSA hasn't quite said what can and can't be allowed, but the new prohibited list of items should be out shortly. They have said that you can't have scissors longer than 4 inches and that screwdrivers/wrenches can't be over 7 inches. Then again, who's going to be installing a midpipe on a car while on a transcontinental flight?

Virginia Governor Spares 1,000th Man to be Executed! NO! WE WANT JUSTICE!
Topic: National News

Virginia Governor Mark Warner has taken away today's 1,000th national execution, commuting convicted scissor-killer Robin Lovitt's sentence to life without parole.

*sigh*

Oh well. Guess you can kill people with sharpened scissors in a drunken rage in the state of Virginia and not be executed for it. Thanks Governor Warner... dick.

Air Force Has Laser Rifles! Non-Lethal Laser Rifles Though, Like the Ones in G.I. Joe
Topic: National News

The U.S. Air Force, ever the purveyors of modern technology, have created an M60 machine gun-sized laser rifle designed to temporarily blind assailants, hippies, puppies, or whatever you please. The non-lethal "weapon" weighs about 9 kilos and is fired from the shoulder into crowds, where it emits a low-level laser pulse that is equivalent to making someone stare into the sun.

Wipe away the drool, because you won't be buying a laser gun and pretending to be Han Solo for years. It's only in prototype form and won't be available for military use for years, much less home protection. So don't throw the shotgun in the dumpster just yet and tell Cobra Commander that he'll have to wait to try and poison the world's water supply or whatever James Bondian scheme he's got planned now.

999th Execution Held in Ohio! Will Your State Hold the 1000th?
Topic: National News

Since the death penalty came into being in 1977, almost 1000 people have been executed in the United States. 999, to be exact. That number was reached at midnight this morning in Ohio, where a man who strangled his mother in law and then his daughter to help cover up the first murder was put to death.

So which state will hit the millennium mark? Surprisingly, not Texas. Virginia will most likely be the big state, with convicted murderer Robin Lovitt being the (un)lucky person. And, joy joy, this could happen as soon as tomorrow! Just as long as the governor doesn't turn pussy and halt the execution. The man stabbed someone to death with a pair of scissors, for god's sake!

Arlen Specter Backs Terrell Owens; Changes Mind, Doesn't Know What Is Going On
Topic: Sports

Politics are a big part of sports. They always have had ramifications on the game and always will. But Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter might have crossed the line by first defending the behavior of Eagles star receiver Terrell Owens, but only before hitting back at Owens verbally and then supporting him again. All in a space of mere seconds. Take a read:

"It's a restraint of trade for them to do that, and the thought crosses my mind, it might be a violation of antitrust laws."

Specter emphasized that he was "not a supporter of Terrell Owens."

"I am madder than hell at what he has done in ruining the Eagles' season," the Pennsylvania Republican said. "I think he's in flagrant breach of his contract and I believe the Eagles would be within their rights in not paying him another dime or perhaps even suing him for damages."

But Specter said, "I do not believe, personally, that it is appropriate to punish him (by forcing him to sit out the rest of the season). He's not committed a crime, he's committed a breach of contract. And what they're doing against him is vindictive."


To first make a point, T.O. did violate his contract, and when you violate your contract, you get either fired or suspended. Specter is rich, so we doubt he's had to work before, but that's how it goes. Here's what legal experts and professors and such have to say on the matter.

"To have an antitrust violation, you have to have a contract or conspiracy in restraint of trade," said Robert McCormick, a law professor at Michigan State University.

Matthew J. Mitten, director of the National Sports Law Institute at Marquette University, said, "We're in the labor arena, not antitrust."


Okay, so the upshot is that Senator Arlen Specter should stick to what he knows; being a curmudgeon with no apparent knowledge of sports. We could discuss more, but we're already feeling sorry for ourselves for giving it this much thought.

Journalist Fakes Mercedes Crash-Avoidance Test on TV; Crashes Cars, Gets Fired
Topic: Cars/Automotive

For the utmost of stupidity when testing brand new automobiles on television, look no closer than to Michael Sprecht. After proposing a segment on Stern TV, Sprecht approached Mercedes Benz to test the S-class's accident avoidance system, to which Mercedes engineers immediately pointed out that in the way Sprecht wanted to test the cars, they would fail in doing so.

Sprecht was adamant about the segment and attempted to "simulate" what the cars would actually do. What follows was seen all over the world. Sprecht missed his mark (a block of wood he would drive over) and smashed one of the big dollar Mercs into the back end of the one in front of him.

Now he's been fired for faking the test, even though we give him credit for proving that the system isn't as great as Mercedes originally let on. Check it out for yourself. The video has been taken down, but it's damn funny to read how this "respected" auto-journalist would fake out the cameras. See? Idiocy in journalism expands beyond America.

No One Shows up For Dumb Broad's Book Signing
Topic: Politics

Cindy Sheehan has somehow wormed her way back into the news. However, this time she might have accidentally gone too far, riding her fifteen minutes of fame horse into the ground. As she waited for people to show up and protest with her, no one bought her book.

Want to know why? Because she's a dumb bitch. And she's in it for herself and personal glory. And she's ruining her son's good name for her own glorification. Sne reading her "book" would probably be the equivalent of stabbing oneself in eyes repeatedly with a rusty corkscrew.

Don't believe us that she was alone in her book sales? Check out the accompanying photograph. This, hopefully, will teach publishers that not everyone needs a book deal. Cindy Sheehan and Nicole Ritchie have certainly showed us that.

Former Cowboy Michael Irvin Arrested With Crack Pipe!
Topic: Sports
To welcome back everyone to this wonderful Monday after Thanksgiving, we thought we'd get things kicked off with a little embarrassment for Texas to knock your ass in to gear.

Former Dallas Cowboy Michael Irvin was arrested Friday afternoon for possession of a "drug pipe" that was found in his car after he was pulled over for speeding on the North Dallas Tollway. As you may recall, the blight of Irvin first hit Dallas in 1996 when he was caught on hidden camera buying cocaine and received four years probation for felony possession.

Irvin claimed it was a friend's crack pipe, and that said friend had just gotten out of rehab. MI was merely keeping the pipe in his car so as to not leave it in his home near his kids, who would instantly recognize the mysterious light bulb-looking pipe as something from which to smoke daddy's stash.

But seriously, we're pretty sure that Irvin isn't smoking crack, but then again, who knows athletes nowadays? You'd never see someone like Darryl Strawberry doing blow off a hooker's... oh. Right.

We're Outta Here! Happy Thanksgiving!
Topic: Housekeeping

Well everybody, we're out of here. Gotta go and cram a bottle of Wild Turkey up a chicken's ass and hope no one notices the difference. And that's what we call "brining the bird."

So everybody be safe and don't drink and drive. That's why we have public transportation. Or if you want to drive, go rent some go-karts and then go drink and drive. At least if you flip those, you'll just get kicked out. Trust us, we know.

See you on Monday.

Protesters Arrested at Bush Ranch; Bush STILL. AT. WHITE. HOUSE.
Topic: Politics

At least 12 protesters were arrested for setting up camp outside President Bush's Crawford ranch, an act which was outlawed because of danger to vehicles and the protesters themselves, who made a mess of the rural road system. Each protester would be charged with criminal trespassing, which is not as cool as it sounds, people, trust us.

While Cindy Sheehan, the noted dumb bitch who continues to sully her son's good name while remaining jobless, was not one of those present for the arrests, she assured us that she would be arrested when she returned for Bush's Thanksgiving vacation. This not only makes her incredibly stubborn, but as dumb as a sack of hammers. Because once you get enough criminal trespassing and federal charges against you without showing up to court, you don't just get let go with a fine that's paid by one of your rich hippy friends; you go to jail.

So go ahead protesters. Flock up. No one takes you seriously, because you contribute nothing to America. Because you can't pay taxes if you haven't ever had a job, right?

Florida Police Taser Sex Offender's Junk!
Topic: National News

A man who was breaking in women's windows and asking them to touch his exposed wee-wee learned not to do so anymore the hard way. Fort Myers Beach Police chased the man after finding him outside a woman's home and shot him with a taser... right in his gear.

"The Taser is relatively accurate, but when someone is moving like that, it doesn't matter if you have a Taser, or a pistol. (Officers) can't aim," Corporal Matt Chitwood said.

Ironic that the man's nuts, exactly what he was attempting to get touched, would have been the bullseye in this case. Either ironic, or deserving. either one fits.

Sam the Chinese Crested Hairless, and "World's Ugliest Dog" reigning champion, who received worldwide attention for his ability to look like a gremlin without even trying, died on Friday at age 14, just days before his fifteenth birthday. His owner, Susie Lockheed, had him euthanized because she learned his heart was failing.

“I don’t think there’ll ever be another Sam,” Susie Lockheed said, adding: “Some people would think that’s a good thing.”

So shed a tear for Sam, the world's most famous hideous lovable monster, because all dogs are good dogs.

Xbox 360 Comes Out; People Get Stupid
Topic: Stupidity

So the Xbox 360 came out this morning. We, as warm-blooded males, want one worse than anything in the world. However, it's not going to happen until at least the new year. Why? Because people like the idiot below are snatching up not only every one they can see, but ones that haven't even been purchased by their original seller.

Seriously folks, $5,000 for a goddamn Xbox 360 that you can probably still find at an out of the way Target for $400? Get real, idiots. Quit spoiling your kid before he gets as dumb as you.
