One of my favorite quotes from the 1995 Kevin Smith movie Mallrats is, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned for Sega.”  Well, as an Italian father found out, hell also hath no fury like a teenage son who doesn’t want to hear your advice on how to properly play video game soccer. That’s […]

The match-up has been set, and the stars are two Pro-Bowl quarterbacks.  Those old axioms that defense wins championships, and that running wins in the playoffs?  Throw those completely out the window, as two of the NFL’s most potent offensive clubs are going to be meeting in the league’s championship game.  The New Orleans Saints […]

It’s not every day that a 145-year-old candy gets a modern upgrade, but Sweethearts are doing just that.  The little conversation hearts, also called Love Hearts in the UK, are getting a modern update thanks to a partnership between parent company Necco and social media and microblogging website Twitter.  That’s right, you can’t avoid Twitter.  […]

It’s the height of irony.  A long-running museum exhibit at Jerusalem’s Ashdod Museum highlighting the black market antiquities trade, called Antiquities Theft in Israel, has been robbed.

On Wednesday, Conan O’Brien stuck it to NBC with an epic, $1.5 million dollar comedy bit.   He had to top that somehow.  Tonight, he unveiled yet another outrageously expensive character, Kentucky Derby Winner Mine That Bird Wearing A Mink Snuggie Watching Restricted NFL Super Bowl Highlights.  The total cost, per The Tonight Show?  A […]

The goal of most break-ins is to get in and out of the place as fast as possible with as much stuff as possible.  At least, that’s how a break-in normally works.  However, one accused criminal in Easton, Pennsylvania didn’t get the memo.  When he broke into a house, he made himself at home.  The […]
