No, this isn’t about the SNL sketches, it’s about an actual product that actually exists, FroliCat Bolt Lasers. This sign of the apocalypse beams a red dot around the room in random patterns, to drive your pets crazy. You need this. Moving your own arms is too hard. Remembering which end the light comes out of is so confusing....

I’ve gotten 10 or 11 Twilight New Moon-related parody videos in the last 12 hours, so if you sent me one, I’m sorry, it was probably really funny, but I’m swamped like your mom’s crotch. This one, however, really stood out from the pack.

This is Aimee Mullins, who has done everything from working at the Pentagon while studying at Georgetown to modeling in London. But anyway, you’re going to feel like an even lazier bastard when I tell you that Aimee has done all of these things with prosthetic legs that never stopped her from running track at Georgetown and being hot.

Since I know you guys have barely heard anything about this project, here’s a new featurette for James Cameron’s Avatar.

Allen Iverson, often cited as Exhibit A of “What’s Wrong With The NBA” by white people everywhere, thought he was too good to sit the bench for the Memphis Grizzlies. Apparently, he was wrong. Now, the New York Knicks, sitting with a 2-9 record, decided that Iverson didn’t offer anything to help their club.

According to Nikki Finke, Twilight Saga: New Moon’s opening-day numbers are bigger than Dark Knight and Harry Potter. To put it in layman’s terms, that’s pretty big.

Normally, fake viral videos are sucky and hamfisted, and give me that same groany feeling I get when my mom talks about Farmville. But this fake viral video for Activision’s Tony Hawk: Ride is an exception (first video below). It starts out believable: a bulldog playing with the skateboard peripheral, as they have been known to do...via Film Drunk on November 20th, 2009
Thanks to the magic of the internet, we have this screen shot from a Robert Pattinson fan site and the ads Google chose to accompany it, which all deal with sex offenders. Cute. But, logically, would sex offenders really be looking for other sex offenders? I don’t think they party like that. …From what I’ve heard. In...

Iraqi prisoners in an American military camp are having a bit of fun with the soldiers running the joint. That’s because those soldiers are actually from the Wisconsin National Guard, and therefore diehard Packers fans.
“They know Favre by name,” said First Lieutenant Tim Boehnen, who is from New Richmond, Wis.
“One of the...

I think I’m happier NOT knowing what’s being said in this Halls commercial. If a product advertises that it can make my chest crank out cross-species animals, that’s good enough for me.

Welcome back for another fun week of poorly thought out wagers. While you’re sitting there reading this I’m locked in a very large warehouse counting a lot of stuff while trying to limit my dust intake. Good times. Anyway, I was able to find three of the world’s foremost football prognosticators to assist with this week’s...

While patrolling the Syrian border, Marine Major Brian Dennis found a stray dog he named ‘Nubs’ because Iraqis had cut its ears off as a puppy. He later nursed it back to health after it was stabbed in the side with a screw driver (lovely people, those Iraqis, I’m sure). Later Dennis was ordered to move his unit and had to...

By all accounts, “Trauma” was basically a medical drama as imagined by Michael Bay. It got panned by critics, earned lousy ratings, and NBC announced it was stopping production immediately. Now, by unpopular non-demand, NBC has ordered more episodes.
Why would NBC order more of a low-rated show that isn’t particularly acclaimed...

(How nice am I for using former gladiator Gina Carano for the banner pic instead of Titan? That guy is gayer than Liberace cornholing a Care Bear.)
American Gladiators was only ever successful in the highly competitive, Saturday-afternoon-between-football-games time slot. NBC tried to run it at prime time in 2008 and it got canceled after 21...

Billy “I Own Four TV’s” Simmons had an article detailing the Pats 4th and 2 call from Sunday Night. It contains the usual assortment of Simmons arguments that he deems irrefutable. But forget all that. Look at this:
