Lane Lindell is dating…hell… I don’t really care but these pictures at Friends of the Program are fantastic The guys at 27 Pitches think that Doc Halladay should take more credit for his perfect game and I agree.  Hey Doc, there is such a thing as being too modest.

5 Ninja's Kick Back

By Dan DiLoreto | May 20, 2010

In Australia, a German exchange student was minding his own business when thieves started to attack him.  The man, who was out numbered, must have obviously been hoping and praying that someone would come and help him.  The medical student was rushed upon in an alley in Sydney.  The problem for the muggers was that it was right…

Swagger Wagon

By Dan DiLoreto | May 17, 2010

Toyota has gone through a lot in the last couple months.  With all the recalls the company has obviously taken a hit.  Now they have released a viral music video promoting their Sienna mini van and it is awesome.  I am sure that Mom’s everywhere will soon be referring to their own mini vans as…

We Are LeBron

By Dan DiLoreto | May 14, 2010

This might be the best attempt I have seen to keep LeBron in Cleveland.  To the tune of “We are the World” but minus all the douchebags wearing sunglasses, this song begs LeBron to stay.  They tell him that “no other big market will love you as much as we do”.  The video includes John…

You Just F*%^ed With the Wrong Mexican

By Dan DiLoreto | May 5, 2010

Based on the fake trailer from 2007’s Grindhouse, Machete is loaded with familiar faces.  I admit I had to check to make sure this was really going to be a movie.  After all, we got this via Lindsay Lohan’s twitter page and who knows whether or not LinLo is coherent when she tweets.  The more…

Boy Runs Away, Uses Bed Bath and Beyond as Home Base

By Dan DiLoreto | April 27, 2010

Let’s go back some years.  More for some of us than others, but let’s go back to the days when we were newly crowned teenagers.  Remember when Mom and Dad pissed you off and you threatened to runaway but then ended up just pouting in your room (unless you actually ran away, then props to…
