You’ve probably seen this popular ad for Dale Peterson,
which is more American than a bald eagle making love to an apple pie at a baseball game. But that’s nothing compared to Arizonian Pamela Gorman’s commercial, because she doesn’t just pull out a gun; she shoots four different ones. Sadly, not all at the same time, but it’s still pretty extreme.
We’re not going to get into gun politics (because we don’t want to get shot), but shouldn’t a political ad say a little more than

The long running Cho Aniki series is famous solely for its homoerotic overtones. The games are 2D shooters like Gradius or Galaga, except everything looks like a dick, a half-naked muscular man, or a half-naked muscular man and his dick. Just watch the video if you don’t believe us

One of the most recognized trophies in the world is the Academy’s gold-plated statuette, better known by its nickname, Oscar. But who’s Oscar and how did the statuette get its name?
The statuette was designed by art director Cedric Gibbons and sculpted by George Stanley, but the origins of its name are disputable. Although there are various theories, many sources credit Hollywood columnist Sidney Skolsky for using the name Oscar for the first time in a 1934 article. Skolsky explained in his memoirs:

Starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, Ridley Scott’s acclaimed road movie celebrating female rebellion and friendship follows two women as they embark on a trip away from their suffocating lives. But their journey of liberation and self-discovery soon turns into a nightmare when – after killing a sexual attacker – they become outlaws. The film culminates with an iconic scene, as the duo find themselves trapped by the police at the edge of the Grand Canyon. Rather than accept capture and imprisonment, they decide to end it all, driving their Thunderbird convertible over the precipice

It seems that every few years, rumors arise about mysterious athletes in obscure countries whose talents are guaranteed to change the future of sports. One of the most recent examples concerned Masal Bugoluv, a supposed 16-year-old soccer prodigy from the small eastern European country of Moldova. News of the phenom first broke on soccer blogs and forums, where Bugoluv was described as a surgical striker who already played for the Moldovan national team. Soon enough, the mainstream soccer media

After meeting on The Ben Stiller Show in 1992, Bob and David created their own sketch comedy show, Mr. Show with Bob and David for HBO. This program allowed for cursing and more controversial content from the average TV sketch comedy show. This content would include: sexual humor, drug use, political commentary, and even jokes about religion.
Coming from TV comedy writing, together on The Ben Stiller Show, and Odenkirk’s history as a writer at Saturday Night Live, this was their chance to be left alone and allow for as much expression and development in their comedy without network involvement, being on HBO. Also, this show tried a unique idea, borrowed from Monty Python’s Flying Circus, of tying the show together with small linking segments to the larger sketches. This allowed for a unique fluidity between sketches.
Now, onto the list, this one was a little more tricky than expected. I first had to define a

The echo is terrible, but that’s the sound person’s fault, not Michael Bolton‘s. Still, he does forget the words, but at least he had the foresight to write them on his hand. Good thing his hands weren’t sweaty.
Favorite YouTube comments:
“lol at the guard cracking up.” josiahVEVO
“i celebrate the man’s entire catalog.” – Ej205scoob
He might not be your cup of tea, but Groban has a good voice. HOWEVER, paired with Flea and an entire band in the background, this performance came off as disjointed, disturbing, and confusing. Cool pyrotechnics, though.
Favorite YouTube comments:
“gotta love that music brings together any kind of genres…flea and opera boy…love it!” – MsEmployeeoftheMonth
“I think they should of kept it to JG and Flea. That high school special ed band was terrible.” – nastynewt420
“My ears hate me for listening to this.” – snorkel23fan
Steven Tyler of Aerosmith (and most recently, American Idol) has a great screamy kind of voice. Is it suited for the national anthem? Maybe not. He does change the words up, and even before he does that he flubs them a little as well.
Let’s see what the YouTubers had to say.
“Steven sounded like his great self! WTF are people talking about…who cares if a word or two was changed.” – Lindugh
well, a lot of people actually care if the words are changed…
“I would’ve been okay with it had “Indianapolis 500″ fit, but it didn’t, so minus 1 man point for Steven Tyler, although he already has 1,204,582 man points.”
Make that 1,204,581, actually…
Not everyone is a Creed fan. Even if you are a Creed fan, I don’t know how you could think this performance is good. Stapp did perform later events and did better, but this one is pretty bad.
What some YouTubers had to say.
“THR BRMBS BRRSTING IN RRRRRYEAAAHHH.” – superxmaddie
“He sounds like he’s constipated.” – ernest alba
“This is pretty bad…not that anyone watches nascar anyway.” – T Egnoto89
Who has heard of Kat Deluna? Not I, said me. However, research shows that this flub of the national anthem did damage to her career. Shame.
Over to YouTube:
“Kat Deluna is liking her video under 194 screen names.” – Yaotao
“I like this video for pitiness.” – genieofmusic
Why are they even singing the American national anthem at a Canadian hockey game? Anyway, this girl completely forgets the words, forgets them again, goes back to get a printout of the words, and falls on her face on the way back. Epic fail.
Best of Youtube:
“She came back because she forgot to fall down.” – chiczken55
“Play her off – keyboard cat!” – toozinho
I simply didn’t see the sense in posting the entire sad video. Barr caught a lot of flack for this. She said she wasn’t trying to be disrespectful – she started off on the wrong key and tried to make the most of it. It didn’t work out too well for her.
Youtube comments:
“at least she got all the words right.” – lavygirl1
“well, that was really quite bad.” – caflagel
The guy’s a runner, not a singer, right? Turns out singing wasn’t some hidden talent. Nor was lyric memorization. Zounds.
YouTube comments:
“haha this is why I love youtube so much hahaha.” – katnvyvd
“uh OH.” – Blackmilitant421
“um, no he didn’t.” – cliffFLIPINobozeman
Sheesh. Did this guy lose a bet? There is nothing good about this performance, unless you count the amount of spectators fighting to keep a straight face. I feel bad for the guy, but it’s such a bad performance it rates the number one spot.
YouTube comments:
“for the rabbits we washed?” – gasmylife
“did I hear something like “bleeding butt crack? i think my ears are starting to bleed.” – kazehana877
“Carl Winslow at his best.” – 1MrBlanki

The iPad came out in April of 2010, a computer tablet advertised as being the new medium for entertainment multimedia such as books, movies, and games. As of September 30, 2010, 7.5 million of them have been sold around the globe. In addition to being what some might call an oversized handheld game system, the iPad is being used in productive ways by attorneys, medical professionals, college students, and even autistic children. Recently and amusingly, Carl Crawford’s agent distributed iPads to teams interested in hiring the baseball player that had clips highlighting Crawford’s playing ability preloaded onto the device.

Before the Internet if you ever had interest in a classified ad, you’d probably go straight to the local newspaper and see what you can find. Of course then the Internet came along and while you could find classified ads online, most of the websites were filled with spam posts or people looking to set you up while others were just unorganized and most of the time classified ads for smaller locations were nonexistent. However, today, if you’re ever looking for anything, and I mean anything, all you need to do is go to Craigslist.
You can find plenty of things on the classified ads website; from cars, to pets, to jobs, homes, and even a place to discuss anything you have on your mind. Despite recently coming under fire for its
