Bronze medalist Olga Graf airs out her collarbone by mistake.

There are a lot of ways to make traditional winter Olympic events more appealing.  You can tweak the rules to add a little more drama, you can try to turn your sport macho, you can have some spectacular, television-friendly crashes where no one really gets hurt, or you can show a little skin and go the sex appeal route.  Sometimes, you go for sex appeal without even realizing it.  Take the case of Russian speed skater Olga Graf.  She should be a big deal; after all, she was a surprise bronze medalist and she was the first Russian to claim a medal on home soil.  However, that’s not the case.  Olga Graf is the talk of the Sochi Olympics because she nearly flashed the crowd.

“I totally forgot,” admitted Graf through a translator.  “We have very good suits and they are very tight. … You just want to breathe and you want to take off your suit.  Only afterward did I realize that maybe this video will appear on YouTube.  But I don’t think it will be so bad.”

When celebrating her win, the 30-year-old pumped her fists and unzipped her suit to the waist, only to realize that, well, there wasn’t a shirt or sports bra on under the crazy space-age jumpsuit.  She zipped back up pretty quickly, but not before she found herself getting a taste of international fame.  It’s not like anyone can see anything, but still, it’s a great way to make yourself go viral, even if it is embarrassing.  Not like she should be too mortified; she’s got a bronze medal for her country.  Not too many people can say that.

Usually, when someone talks about hot beats, it’s just because they really like the music.  However, one unnamed woman on a flight from Beijing, China, to Melbourne, Australia, got exposed to some really hot beats.  A woman’s headphone burst into flames while she was wearing them! It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

Since 2014, Craig Sager has been caught in the fight of his life.  He’s been battling leukemia since 2014, and he’s had multiple stem-cell treatments and rounds of radiation, and he continues to struggle against the disease for all he’s worth.  He’s been a very public face for most of his life, and now he’s engaged […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
