I know updates have been a little random lately but I hope to have things back to normal by next week. Granted, sometimes I’m not sure what normal is around these parts but I’m sure we’ll all sort it out eventually. In the meantime, here’s my favourite SI Swimsuit model Cintia Dicker.
Just to prove that I’m very fair and balanced with my dissemination of political links, here’s a not at all right-leaning article about how the Obama White House is able to control the message out of 1600 Penn. (Politico)
You thought the possibility of Ashley Judd running for the Senate was all a big laugh didn’t you? Well, the GOP is taking it seriously. They’ve already created an attack ad against her. (New York Times)
A recent Gallup poll says that only 3.5% of Americans are gay. Could that number possibly be accurate? (The Atlantic Wire)
After the jump, the evil of Bleacher Report, trolling the Beliebers and Vanna White on The Price is Right.
If you’re not a sports blogger, you might not be so sure why it’s a terrible thing that Bleacher Report is now CNN’s go to sports news provider. Leitch explains far better than I could. (Sports on Earth)
While the NHL and the IOC/IIHF are doing a will they or won’t they over the 2014 Olympics, DGB looks and ranks at the best Olympic hockey tournaments. (McIndoe)
It’s a bit worse than your standard Harlem Shake video but I commend a high school for forfeiting their hockey team’s playoff game because the team made a Harlem Shake video. Gangnam Style was cool. The Harlem Shake? Just stupid. There’s nothing cool or funny about it. (The Big Lead)
What would this year’s Toronto Blue Jays look like if they were an 8-bit RPG? Better yet, why am I prefacing this link with such a terrible question? (The Score)
Joel McHale did a live chat on Uproxx. It was about as hilarious as you’d expect. (Warming Glow)
The Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney and Justin Bieber are in a bit of a Twitter spat because Carney basically said that Bieber’s music is shit (it is) and Bieber sicked his fans on Carney (because Bieber and his fans are glorified cyber bullies). Carney has probably won the battle with his glorious trolling of Beliebers. (Uproxx)
Today in irony, The Pirate Bay is threatening to sue a website over copyright infringement. I love TPB but that’s too funny a story to pas up. (Kotaku)
Naughty Dog says that made some big mistakes with their transition from the PS2 to the PS3. The result of those mistakes was the best trilogy of this console generation. I hope they fuck up this badly on the PS4. (Eurogamer)
Did you know that before she got her big break as a letter turner on Wheel of Fortune, Vanna White was a contestant on The Price is Right?
So you think being the Pope is a sweet gig but don’t know how to get the job. Well, if you’re a Catholic male, you’re in with a shot. However, it’s not really that simple.
