right now.
On at there were of you guys here.

•
SUPER BOWL XLIV WAS not only the highest rated Game in the past 23 years, it's also the most-watched (106M) TV program in US history,
knocking off the final episode of "M*A*S*H.

•
YEAH, SURE, THERE WAS ALSO a game going on (Saints won 31-17, who dat!), but over at
Gawker they thought it be a cute idea to
collect the most awkward moments (plus best ads).

•
YOU CAN CHECK 'M ALL right
here of course, but I have to take
Bud Light's effort. Once again they dominated the Super Bowl ads battle with a handful hilarious ones >
>>>

•
ONLY THE CUTEST THING we've ever seen. We're
not quite sure what the rules of play are, but the blimp was manned by hamsters, the cheerleaders were sleepy bunnies, and there was a kitty halftime show.

•
JUST IN CASE YOU GUYS can't wait a few more hours: here's some more 'leaked' Super Bowls commercials. Google's
Parisian Love, and Audi's
Green Police, after >
>>>

•
IT COULD BE ME, BUT I don't recall the Super Bowl ads getting so much publicity up front. Everywhere you look, there's teasers, previews n banned ads. Compilation of 10 after >
>>>

•
REMEMBER THE FIRST National Lampoon's
Vacation movie? The Griswolds went from Chicago to Wally World in a Family Truckster. Guess what: that Truckster
will return in a Superbowl ad.
Vacation clips after >
>>>

•
GOTTA KICK OUT OF THAT Brett Favre Hyundai Super Bowl ad we
showed you the other day? Well, maybe you like the old goat so much you're even going to enjoy these outtakes >
>>>

•
HE SAYS IT HIMSELF: I'VE got far to much time on my hands. Very true. But then again. Christian Bale and Kermit the Frog
really DO have an aweful lot in common.

•
IT'S A STIGMA, BUT IT'S true: you're playing with you're life if you dare saying things like
Nascar Sucks in the state of Alabama. Top Gear (Season 9, Episode 3) proved it >

•
WTF?! AUSSIE ROCK BAND MEN At Work got sued (and lost) for plagiarism. They say they
stole their hit song
Down Under from the lullaby
Kookaburra. Check 'm both out after >
>>>

•
THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT ME paying attention earlier this week: apart from grossing $2B world wide, Avatar passed Titanic on the
US list of top grossing movies, being #1 now.
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT it would come to this? A kiddy porn Q at a Super Bowl press conference. But
The Who's Pete Townshend had to answer. Next year better go save, NFL, and invite Gary Glitter. Vid after >
>>>
SOX FEST 2010 WAS ALREADY a couple of weeks ago, but this video - showing pitcher Freddy Garcia having a good time - just surfaced. Oh, Freddy says
hello to the Cubs >

•
WOW. THIS IS SOME PRETTY amazing advertizing by
Embrace Life. If you care about your loved ones, always wear your seatbelts. Buckle up, people, no excuses:

•
TOP MALE MODEL NICK Snider (21) got himself into a lot of trouble, after he offered the Arkansas cops who arrested him for
disorderly conduct some oral sex. Well, at least he tried.

•
DUDE, WHAT DO YOU think you're doing?! Dude, I'm doing a fish! Yeah, you guessed it. This
video is pretty damn sick and therefore NSFW. You've been warned.

•
LIKE HE DID BEFORE (SEARS), BRETT Favre once again decided to cash in on his (off the field) indeciciveness, this time in a
Hyundai Super Bowl ad. Check it out after >
>>>
IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF (it's about) time, and your Chicago Bears will finally have a new Offensive Coordinator. His name:
Mike Martz. Tonight he and JC
had diner in Nashville.

•
THE CREATIVITY OF PEOPLE never seems to stop amazing me. How about this latest
invention? Tiger Woods' Mistress Collection
featuring twelve assorted custom printed golf balls. Nice.

•
GRAB IT WHILE IT'S there, because my guess is it won't last too long. But here goes: a good ole Open Dir
with four seasons of HD pics (NSFW) of Playboy playmates. Enjoy.

•
JAMES CAMERON DID IT. HE broke is own worldwide record:
His baby Avatar a cumed $1,858,866,889 this week. That's nearly $16 million more than Titanic's unadjusted cume of $1.843 billion.

What's Up!?
It's the New Orleans Saints!
The 2010 Super Bowl commercials

•
DON'T YOU JUST HATE THOSE FOLKS THAT CLAIM TO watch the Super Bowl just for the commercials. I know, but they're people too, and especially for them:

Europe has its own Tiger Woods saga: Chelsea & England star John Terry

•
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT - PROBABLY NOT: EUROPE HAS its own
Tiger Woods saga. Starring role: Chelsea and England ace John Terry. As we reported
before: it all started real spicey with the news Terry had a long term affair with
Vanessa Perroncel, girlfriend of his teammate
Wayne Bridge, but for British Sunday tabloid
News of the World just this story was not tacky enough.
News of the World decided to dig a little deeper (and a little deeper even), and came up with a
few more mistresses. Names were not revealed (yet), apart from former Big Brother star
Orliath McAllistar. He allegedly did her when his wife was pregnant. Pretty revealing photo shoot of McAllister (NSFW) after >

Vancouver HD timelapse
•
IN ABOUT A WEEK VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA will be the centre point of the world for about two weeks (it's hosting the Winter Olympics, you know), so what better moment than to feast you guys with an amazing 5 minute long HD timelapse video of this amazing city. Check it out after >

Big Picture: Haiti three weeks later

•
CHANCES ARE YOU SAW AT LEAST ONE OF the four amazing pictorials about the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake made by Boston.com's
The Big Picture (and if not, you can catch up right
here). Apparently they're not done yet, since they
added another (fifth) astonishing chapter -
Haiti Three Weeks Later. I say: keep 'm coming.
Can we finally drop that GD 1985 Chicago Bears Super Bowl Shuffle?
EVEN BACK IN 1985 - OR 1986, FOR THAT MATTER - THERE were several Bears not to happy with it. Like Dan
Danimal Hampton. "I'm a real musician. This
Super Bowl Shuffle is offensive", he said. He was (kinda) right, of course. Some claim, however, that the 1985
Shuffle changed music. Whatever. The '85 Bears spoofed themselves and were made fun off for years to come - without even realizing it.
And they still don't - apparently. Because as soon as
Boost Mobile offered some dough, a handful of '85 Bears (among them Jim McMahon and Mike Singletary) stood up to
perform a 2010 version of the Shuffle, which will be aired during Super Bowl XLIV. Original Shuffle after >

The 2010 Oscar nominations

•
IN CASE IT SLIPPED YOUR ATTENTION: EARLIER this week the nominations for the 2010 Academy Awards aka Oscars were revealed. No real surprises, if you followed the Golden Globes and/or the Grammys.
Anyways: you can
check 'm all out here. Place your bets!
Ten Idaho baptists arrested for trying to kidnap Haitian orphans

•
I GUESS THERE'S LOT'S OF STANDARDS WHEN IT COMES TO BEING a humanitarian. Some people just like to send money in case of a disaster (let's say, an earthquake), others insist on sending supplies, and there's also people who jump on a plane right away and try to rescue victims in person.
And then there's, of course, Baptists from Idaho. Ten of them took off to Haiti, in order to kidnap as many children as they possibly could. They got away with 33. Almost. They
almost got away with it, because the members of the
Haitian Orphan Rescue Mission were detained by Haitian police. Anyone in New Orleans missing any kids?
