You have to hand it to PETA.  There is not an organization more dedicated to its cause.  Of course, in this case, the cause of PETA is to promote PETA.  Just a few days after their planned Tiger Woods neutering billboard gets rejected in Florida, PETA’s German wing is in the news for their drive to get an incestuous polar bear neutered.   That bear is the world-famous Knut, the cute little polar bear who has survived a myriad of tragedies, shot to world fame due to his adorable nature, and now shares a cage with his cousin Giovanna in the Berlin Zoo.

Frank Albrecht says that Knut is too closely related to his cousin to mate with her, and so he should be emasculated to prevent this from harming polar bear biodiversity.   Metro quotes one zookeeper as saying, “First they wanted to kill him, then they want to castrate him, If PETA are animal lovers they have a very strange way of showing it.”

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
