Holy crap – Fourth of July weekend is already upon us. And that means it’s time to get out your flags, BBQ and fireworks and show your love for the great country that is the United States of America. Sure, times are tough these days, but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate! So to get you in the mood, here are a whole lotta super sexy ladies rockin’ the red, white and blue boobs. (more…)

I have an economics professor that is such a hippie-liberal-douche, it pains me to hear him speak. Every now and then, though, he says something completely uncharacteristic that I agree with. Being that it is my 8am class on Tu/Th, it leaves me with the rest of the day to ponder.

We give the Detroit Big 3 a ton of crap for being slow in transitioning to fuel efficient and alternative fuel automobiles. They still make trucks and SUVs like they did in the prime of the 90’s waste, F-THAT! Good luck with your losses…right? After some poking around after class, I ran across a fun stat – the same Big 3 spends $25B a quarter or over $8B a MONTH in pension benefits.

In a fit of fear inspired by terrorism and Internet crime, former privacy-is-sacred country Sweden has decided to change their laws regarding digital privacy. This week, a law will be voted on that would give Swedish government and police forces the ability to fully monitor phone, email, and Internet traffic going into and out of the country.

Additionally, because Sweden is used to routing data to its European neighbors, it would give those Agencies access to the data headed to nearby countries. That means you. (more…)

Mississippi Valley, Austin-Peay, Belmont – they’re all schools that eked their way into the 15th and 16th seeds of the 2008 NCAA Tournament.

These schools (and others similar) have a ton of babes, but due to their less than stellar status on a national scale, their hotness factor goes unnoticed. Well, not anymore, as it’s time that COED gives The Babes of the Bottom Bracket their time to shine.

Galleries galore after the jump! (more…)

“Does Your Girlfriend Act Her Age?” tells us that “the women you date should behave—and look—like grown-ups, not characters from High School Musical.” It also explains that with each new episode of The Hills,Gossip Girls and each new tabloid story “chronicling the dysfunction of the Lindsays, Britneys, Nicoles, Heidis, and Laurens” this grown-up type of woman gets harder and harder to find.

I get the feeling that a lot of women are dressing and acting that way because they think that that’s what guys want,” says Jean Twenge, associate professor of psychology at San Diego State University and author of Generation Me, a book about American youth culture. “It’s the same thing as older women getting plastic surgery. The idea is that what men want is a woman who looks 18. Although they don’t usually want a woman who acts 18.” Twenge laughs, then adds, “And that’s where the problem comes in.”

“I’ve been meditating on the question of why women in their twenties seem to be obsessed with all things teen—fashion, slang, gossip, et cetera,” says Anastasia Goodstein, publisher of ypulse.com, a marketing website. “The reality is that teen culture has come to define pop culture.”

As the usual markers of American adulthood—marriage, career, kids—get more and more delayed, the simple-minded distractions of adolescence have extended their grip on the adult brain.

The word: unfortunate.

Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report was snubbed of his dream Thursday – the dream of running America.

After paying the $2,500 filing fee needed to run as a Democrat in South Carolina Colbert was to be considered a presidential hopeful, until South Carolina’s executive committee stunted his publicity stunt, with Carol Fowler (the state party Chairwoman) citing that “[the committee takes] their responsibilities seriously. Our rules are pretty specific about what makes a legitimate candidate.”

Was the million-and-change strong Facebook group and endless publicity all for naught?

Since Colbert also refused to pay the outrageous sum of $35,000 to run on the Republican ticket it looks like this fantasy is coming to an end. (more…)

I have always stood up for the misunderstood James Lipton, host and creator of Inside the Actor’s Studio. This guy has the absolute driest sense of humor – so dry that most think he’s just uptight.

Nothing could be farther from the truth, according to Lipton’s memoir Inside Inside and his interview on Late Night with Conan O’ Brien, in which he told stories of pimping hoes in France along with late-night kinky escapades with…Barbara Walters?

If you’ve hated on Lipton in the past, watch the following clip and realize the error of your ways:

Mayor Bloomberg thinks it’s “ridiculous” that people would criticize surveillance cameras watching your every move. I couldn’t agree more with Mr. Bloomberg; the average American could sure use some privacy-killing paparazzi in their lives. (NY Daily)
