CBS + MMA = A Travesty to Martial Arts

elitexc_cbs

So CBS wanted to bring MMA to primetime tonight, and it was a mess.If you would like the short summary, take 4 of your favorite MMA fights and end them 3 minutes too early. Every star that the network and the Elite XC executives wanted to win – had the fights handed to them on a silver platter.

We learned that Kimbo Slice is not a professional fighter. He fought a decent heavyweight, James Thompson, and could not handle a simple take down. The stoppage was a f**king joke, CBS is a joke, Elite XC is joke.

You want to watch real MMA, watch UFC on Spike/PPV.

Get Your Exoskeletons Here!

Exoskeletons for humans now exist. Here are my concerns: What happens when the batteries die? Will I ever be able to own one? And will it ever gain self-consciousness, immediately become enraged that it’s serving as my slave, rip my legs off, and dash away to wreak havoc on the nearest town? If the answer to all of those questions is, “Shut up, this thing is sweet as hell!” I’ll count that as satisfactory.

The Onion Movie Trailer

Ok, so this has been around the block before. But it’s still funny. In fact, the whole thing is F’ing hilarious. (You can buy the DVD here.) Similar to off-beat, off-color comedy greats like Kentucky Fried Movie and Groove Tube, The Onion Movie has no plot to speak of. Instead, it’s a brilliant hodgepodge of hilarity. So bring out the big bong, invite over some friends, and laugh so hard you puke out your nose.

Sneakers, Centennials, and Rock ‘N Roll!!!

It seems that Converse (#1 choice of 1920s b-ball stars and indie rock hipsters alike) is celebrating 100 years of being in the sneaker business by releasing a line of limited edition kicks that pay homage to rock greats The Beatles, The Grateful Dead, The Doors, and Kurt Cobain. The designs, which are printed on both the classic Chuck Taylor and Jack Purcell high tops, feature iconic images associated with the groups, such as the Dead skull and Cobain’s sketches from him journals. (On a side note, you almost have to admire Courtney Love’s complete and utter lack of shame.) (more…)

Senate Passes GI Bill Education Expansion Legislation

Senate Passes GI Bill Education Expansion Legislation

The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly passed an expansion to the GI Bill last week that aims to extend educational benefits to soldiers who have served more than three years in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The GI Bill, formally known as The Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, originally eased the cost of education for veterans returning home after World War II. Legislators say the benefits aren’t keeping pace with today’s expenses and sought to make changes.

Extending benefits could have greater or lesser impact on various campuses across the country, according to affiliates’ coverage. [Uwire]

art.w.forest.jpg Jen Wang of Short Hills, New Jersey, took her first SAT when she was in sixth grade, long before she would start filling out college applications.

“My family thought it was very important for me to do well on this test, and I basically obtained nearly every SAT study guide out there by the time I was a junior in high school,” she said. “For Christmas one year, I received an electronic device that allowed me to practice the SAT’s ‘on-the-go.’ “

After all that preparation, she ended up attending a school that has made the SAT Reasoning Test, generally known as the SAT, the most widely used college admissions exam in the United States, optional.

Her school, Connecticut College, is one of a growing number of colleges and universities that are making the SAT optional in the admissions process. In May, two highly selective schools — Smith College in Massachusetts and Wake Forest University in North Carolina — decided to drop the SAT and ACT, which some students take as an alternative to the SAT, as requirements for admission.

Clay Aiken: BabyDaddy

clay-aiken-pregnant-1.jpg

Anyone can have a baby these days and that includes a still-not-out-of-the-closet American Idol star, too. That’s right. In case you haven’t heard, pop star, Clay Aiken, is going to be a babydaddy.

But who? How? What?

Yeah. We were wondering the same thing, so here’s the scoop:

Clay has got this record producer/best friend named Jaymes Foster. She is 50 years old and sister to legendary music producer David Foster. They’re tight. In fact, he even happens to live at her house in Los Angeles when he’s in town. Foster has produced a few of Clay’s cds and now she will be producing a child for him too…to be released in August. She’s divorced and she doesn’t have any kids. So why not raise one with Clay? Yep. Even though she was artificially inseminated with Clay’s seed, he will still have a very active hand in raising this child.

Clay has previously stated that he’s just not interested in relationships and things of the sort, so of course his pending fatherhood does come as a surprise. But are we reallllly surprised? If you ask me, Clay artificially inseminated a 50 year old woman actually makes perfect sense.

The question everyone should really be asking is… since Clay and Jaymes’ love child will be the nephew of David Foster, who happens to be Brody Jenner from The Hills, stepfather… Could this in someway make Gayken, Brody’s Uncle??? Hmmm.

LOST Season Finale Recap

Of all of the television shows out there, why is that Lost happens to be the most aptly named in the bunch? The perpetually perplexing show never creates plot tension to make a point, exactly…Rather, it creates plot tension just to screw with you. And, like all of the other episodes of Lost this season, the finale last night…well…screwed with me.

To broadly sum up the season, it went a little something like this: (more…)
