Get Cynical

The definitive list of sports/entertainment vengeful moments ranked from 0.0 (least vengeful) to 10.0(most vengeful). Here are a few examples:

0.1 — O.J. Simpson’s valiant attempt to find the “real killers.”

0.8 — Mike Piazza’s reaction after Clemens threw the bat at him in the 2000 World Series.

1.8 — George Costanza feeding lobster in an omelete to Jerry’s non-lobster-eating girlfriend … Scottie Pippen’s dunk on Ewing’s head in the ’94 playoffs (the one where he stood over him and glared).

6.2 — Tony Montana shooting Manny … Roger Clemens’ career from 1997-2004.

8.0 — Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me A River” video.

(Note: The most underrated example of vengeance on this list. After Britney cheated on him, not only did he dump her, he put out a best-selling album fueled by a song about their breakup in which he basically destroys her with the lyrics. Just an unbelievable piece of work. It’s devastating. I can’t even imagine what she did when she first heard it. And if that wasn’t enough, he made a well-received video about the song, starring a Britney look-alike. And if THAT wasn’t enough, he immediately started going out with Cameron Diaz. By the time he was done, Britney’s career was in the tank — she was chain-smoking and hanging out with backup dancers and white trash guys from her hometown. Now that, my friends, is vengeance. Bravo, Justin. Bravo.)

I think you get the gist.

From CNN:

Once the fried dough embodiment of hot and fresh, Krispy Kreme has transformed its original glazed doughnut into a new frozen beverage for summer.

The EuroPreArt (European Prehistoric Art) Project contains a gallery of prehistoric art which you can browse by country. Pretty neat!

Mookie links to a news story about a mysterious animal that has baffled experts trying to figure out what it is. They are calling it a hyote, a combination of hyena and coyote. That name is ridiculous of course. It is obviously a very young Beast of Gévaudan.

Very well done anti-Bush commercial using a depression era themed cartoon.

“Following in the footsteps of the early propaganda cartoons of Disney, Fleischer, and Chuck Jones, this original, fully-animated look at the underbelly of Bush’s economy juxtaposes a depression-era style with modern-day political rhetoric.

Originally a “Best Animation” finalist in MoveOn.org’s “Bush in 30 Seconds” contest, the commercial spot has been expanded to a seven minute short cartoon that tells the rest of the story of Melvin McBean and his family’s struggle to make ends meet in Bush’s economy. “

This probably won’t be much use to anyone but I just thought it would be cool to link to a Sanskrit Dictionary.

Does your car have balls? (Probably not safe for work.)
