Generally speaking, the faster something is, the better: pitches, cars, death, girls. And I have to say I agree with that sentiment. Especially after watching this video of the “World’s Fastest Everything.” Of course, it doesn’t actually include everything, but that’s not to say it doesn’t try…

According to electric car company Venturi, it takes a boatload of green to “Go Green.”

The new car from the Monaco-based automotive company is appropriately named the Fetish. The all-electric whip goes from 0 – 60 in 5 seconds and tops off around 105mph – not too shabby for an environmentally-sound vehicle.

Venturi plans on manufacturing 5 Fetish models a year. Now that’s what I call mass production!

With colorful flags a-waving, there isn’t a more fruitful time than now to start thinking “Gay” for the 2008 Olympics.

Tyson Gay has been a middle-to-top-class sprinter in the 100m and 200m dash for the last few years – in 2005 he was the “4″ in the U.S. 200m 1-2-3-4 sweep – but the recent spring in his step has earned him Gold medals and World Records.

Gay, a 25-year-old American, got the Gold in both the 100m (9.85 seconds) and 200m (19.76 seconds) at the World Championships in Osaka, Japan – the first athlete to do so since Justin Gatlin in 2005.

His 19.76 in the 200m is edged out ever-so-slightly by the “world’s fastest man” himself, Michael Johnson, in 1996 (19.32).

Olympic hopeful? You bet your sweet ass.

Watch Gay win the 200m after the jump.
