She’s never been the most wholesome person in the world but now that she’s well past 50, she’s not only relatively harmless compared to the past, she’s relative irrelevant. However, the NFL went through a long list of performers before finally settling on Madonna as the best option for the Super Bowl.

Wednesday Link-Off: New Tricks

We’ve never really feature a lot of Mila Kunis so here’s a small attempt to make up for it.

Thanks to an in-depth video-based investigation by the folks to Crossing Broad, we know Chris Pronger didn’t take the Stanley Cup winning puck from June. They also revealed the shortlist of who does have it. (Crossing Broad)

Gourmet Spud has done it again. He’s dug up the original unedited script of the Just For Men ad with the two kids trying to get their dad “back on the market.” (Food Court Lunch)

The old saying goes you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. But you can change yourself if you hack your brain. (Lifehacker)

After the jump, the most interesting man in the world, the most awesome jobs for men, and how the NFL is really socialist. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: Super Bowl Hangover

We’re back to normal on the blog. Hopefully the heat from the UWO election primer dies down. But you couldn’t expect anyone other than Rutledge supporters to be happy after than. Hopefully everyone is happy with Brooklyn Decker leading off this post.

I love Deadspin’s Asshole Digests. The Asshole Boss Digest has a lot to live up to but it’s off to a good start. (Deadspin)

Did you know that The Who were on your TV as much as live game action from the Super Bowl. There’s video proof of that. (Gawker TV) Couldn’t we just watch a Grey Cup replay instead?

After the jump, more Super Bowl links, another Milbury brawl and We Won’t Get Fooled Again! Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: It’s Madness

I was thinking of featuring Alison Brie on Saturday but she’s too good to pass up. Now go watch Community tomorrow night.

Good news: The AP says that Canada is going to open a can of whoop ass on the world in Vancouver. Bad news: We’ve been jinxed by the AP. (Associated Press)

Another look at Twitter from the perspective of someone who doesn’t have it or much in the way of advanced technology. Still, it’s a good read. (New Yorker)

Speaking of technologically related things, cell phones might be slowly killing you. (GQ) It’s a good thing that I never use my cell and pay $40 a month for that paper weight.

After the jump, super sizing March Madness, Super Bowl Manning-ness, and William Shatner awesomeness. Continue reading →
