While kissing in public is a rarity in Thailand, some ambitious Thai couples are locking lips long-term in the beach resort city of Pattaya, Thailand.  That’s where organizers have launched an ambitious world record attempt.  Couples started kissing at 6 AM local time (6 PM Eastern) with an eye on the record books.  Thai couples are trying to break a world record for longest kiss on Valentine’s Day.  The previous kissing world record was set in that romantic hotbed of Germany, where a couple kissed for 32 hours, 7 minutes, and 14 seconds.

“These couples, who joined the longest kissing world record, are people who are in love,” said organizer Somporn Narksuetrong.  “They want to be part of history by entering this competition to show their love.”

That said, don’t get all verklempt with romance just yet.  These couples cannot stop kissing.  They can eat and drink and go to the bathroom, but they must maintain a lip lock at all times.  Do you really want to kiss someone while they’re using the toilet?  Because I sure don’t.  Or kiss someone while they suck in a milkshake through a straw?  Ugh, no thank you.  (If that wasn’t bad enough, a staff member has to follow them into the bathroom to ensure they don’t stop kissing while answering nature’s call.)

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

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.
