Vroom vroom is right, baby. The United States Border Patrol is now sponsoring a Nascar racer.

You know, there's more to the Nintendo Wii than getting your girl to play Wii Fit, then putting the video on the Internet for all of us to see. (Not that we're complaining, obviosuly—keep 'em coming!) For example, Nintendo and FujiFilm have launched a service in Japan that lets you order prints of digital photos you have stored on your Wii. Simply load up an SD card with the photos you want printed and delivered, press a couple of buttons, and you're off. Very nifty.
Not only can you... Read Full Story

If you've never seen Higuita's scorpion save then be mesmerized after the jump. If you have seen it, then we're sure you won't mind watching a stroke of brilliance again.
We always thought this video was some sort of hoax because it's almost to crazy to believe. But during a 1995 friendly between... Read Full Story

Next month, when you're eating your corn dogs and rooting for your favorite country in the Olympics, remember what kind of preparation and struggle these athletes had to go through. Some have been training all their lives, waking up sometimes before we go to sleep and sleeping when they should've been having fun. U.S. gymnasts are such creatures, and they have the added pressure of having to perform for Bela and Martha Karolyi, the Russell Crowe and Naomi Campbell of gymnastics according to... Read Full Story
We'd be all smiles if we were a part of a trio that consisted of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez. Seriously, Nike. Go ask Juan Carlos if he's freakin' happy he's the King of Spain. Um, answer will most likely be "fuck yeah, tio!" [YouTube]
Cristiano Ronaldo's shorts are really short, which is fine if you live in Williamsburg. [With Leather]

Eva Mendes is a lovely woman. We don't think we've ever heard anything remotely disparaging about her looks and she photographs really well pretty much always. So, why oh why, would Calvin Klein decide to make her look like an emaciated painted trollop to advertise their underwear line?
This ad, with Eva looking like she has damaged hair and a possible case of scurvy, makes it look like she applied her makeup with a shovel. In a trailer. In rural Florida. After preparing a spoonful of meth... Read Full Story
