Good Idea/Bad Idea: Premiere Edition

The Humanoids is on hiatus this week. Steve is off somewhere in his secret bunker plotting to take over the world. On second thought, he might be still trying to figure out what “st****** m*****f******” stands for. I’m somewhat baffled too… it contains one too many letters to be “stupid motherfucker”.

Anyway, this might not be the next big hit on The Lowdown Blog, but it’ll do for now. I’m too lazy to keep this up on a regular basis, but expect to see this segment once in a while. Here’s the debut of “Good Idea/Bad Idea”. Continue reading →

Car Wall: BMW’s Epic Failures

Welcome to the second edition of the online Car Wall. We use this to help us rate cars’ coolness based on how well they help you pick up women. The ratings are (from least to most cool): Seriously Uncool, Uncool, Cool, and Sub-Zero. Today, I focus on BMW. They’ve had some good cars but they’ve recently come out with some monumental atrocities to the car world.

BMW M3 Continue reading →

Iowa Teen Is America’s BTF (Best Texter Forever)

Months of blood, sweat, tears, and obscenely large cell phone bills all led one place: the LG U.S. National Text-Messaging Championship. When the dust settled on the 21 finalists, the one left standing was a 15-year-old girl from Iowa who has been texting for all of eight months. Continue reading →

Twitter’s Millionaires Club: Are They Worth Following?

Earlier in the year, there was one battle that seemed to captivate star watchers worldwide: Ashton Kutcher vs. CNN in the battle to be the first person (or company) to have over 1 million followers on Twitter. Kutcher won the battle but he may not win the war. As of writing, 16 of Twitter’s elite have crossed the million followers mark. The question I’ve been wondering is not why would that many people follow them. Like the James Bond theme, it’s a case of “you know my name.” Rather, are these cewebrities actually tweeting anything worth reading? Continue reading →

What Is Canada’s Drink?

This weekend is the May Two-Four weekend in Canada.  Everyone is off to cottage country or maybe just their (or their buddy’s) backyard.  The question then becomes, how does on celebrate the long weekend?  Yeah, I know, booze, booze, and more booze.  But that brings up a question: What is Canada’s national drink?  The contenders and a poll after the jump. Continue reading →

What Were They Thinking: KISS Haters

What Were They Thinking is a semi-regular segment on The Lowdown radio show.  We take a look at something completely ridiculous and ask “what were they thinking”.  On our first online edition of WWTT, we go to my hometown of Sault Ste. Marie where a city councillor has deemed that KISS is too “sick and revolting” to play in the Soo. Continue reading →

ESPN.com: Now Featuring Unicorns

ESPN.com became the talk of the internet today.  For once, though, it wasn’t about Rick Reilly or Bill Simmons or Stephen A. Smith.  Today, somebody discovered that if you entered the “Konami code” (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, enter), the ESPN website would come alive with unicorns.  Picture and follow-up after the jump. Continue reading →

Last Call: God Bless Lawyers

It’s been a while since we’ve done a last call.  Then again, I can’t remember the last time we had three posts in a day.

A man who was thrown out of Yankee Stadium last August is suing the City of New York, the Yankees, the NYPD, and the two officers that threw him out for violating his First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Actually, it’s the New York Civil Liberties Union filing the lawsuit on his behalf but mentioning that would just be being picky.

The man says that he tried to use the washroom when God Bless America was being sung. When he wouldn’t stay still for the song, he was ejected from the stadium. The NYPD said the man was being rowdy and smelled of alcohol. Welcome to a case of he said, they said that will grip the nation until they finish reading this story. Continue reading →
