I woke up today to the New York Times’ eye-opening page-one report on Lance Armstrong’s role in the U.S. Postal Service cycling team’s doping conspiracy, and, after finishing Juliet Macur’s excellent story, I couldn’t help thinking that the disgraced Tour de France winner, who’s been stripped of his seven titles, should have made a very different cameo in Rawson Marshall Thurber’s Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story . If it’s been a while since you’ve seen this 2004 laugh riot — one of my favorite comedies of the last 10 years — Armstrong has a small but pivotal role in the movie in which he inspires Vince Vaughn’s character Peter La Fleur to go back and continue fighting for the Average Joe’s dodgeball team that he has abandoned. According to IMDB.com , this is how the exchange goes: Lance Armstrong: Hey, aren’t you Peter La Fleur? Peter La Fleur: Lance Armstrong! Armstrong: Yeah, that’s me. But I’m a big fan of yours. La Fleur: Really? Armstrong: Yeah, I’ve been watching the dodgeball tournament on the Ocho. ESPN 8. I just can’t get enough of it. But, good luck in the tournament. I’m really pulling for you against those jerks from Globo Gym. I think you better hurry up or you’re gonna be late. La Fleur: Uh, actually I decided to quit… Lance. Armstrong: Quit? You know, once I was thinking about quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer, all at the same time. But with the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and I won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I’m sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying from that’s keeping you from the finals? La Fleur: Right now it feels a little bit like… shame. Armstrong: Well, I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn’t have anything to regret for the rest of their life. But good luck to you Peter. I’m sure this decision won’t haunt you forever. That dialogue now seems empty and sad in light of the Times report that “hundreds of pages of eyewitness testimony from teammates, e-mail correspondence, financial records and laboratory analyses released by the United States Anti-Doping Agency” paint “a picture of Armstrong as an infamous cheat, a defiant liar and a bully who pushed others to cheat with him so he could succeed, or be vanquished.” In light of the Anti-Doping Agency’s information, Armstrong would have been truer to himself if he’d made a cameo in support of “those jerks from Globo Gym.” [ New York Times ] Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter.

The nerve of the bullies attacking him while he’s doing the interview. News Crew Captures Student Being Bullied as They Interview Him about Bullying, A teen standing up against bullying at a school in Maryland was bullied during a TV interview, according to a Tuesday report. Preston Deener decided to make his fight with bullies at Brunswick High School public. His case became more credible when three boys lashed out at him while speaking to a local TV station. “The student came up to me and pushed me out of the way and said what are you recording,” said Deener. “The student was chasing me and all their friends were chasing me, so I ran and got some help.” Hope they are dealt with accordingly… SMH. youtube
Sara Jean Underwood posted some cleavage to her twitter because she’s only on the map from doing Playboy and cleavage ain’t a fucking thing for her, I mean why else would she buy herself some fake tits….she’s a whore trying to make it in the mainstream the only way a whore knows how and I am totally into that, even though she should go back to getting naked for money, instead of this cock teasing shit….
Isabeli Fontana is a Brazilian model who started modeling at 13….and who was in Victoria’s Secret at 16, because Victoria’s Secret are sex offender, child pornographers, bringing minors to homes across America that men masturbate to, without making the girls prove they are 18, in what I call a flaw in the fucking system, you know hypcorisy where billion dollar companies are above the fucking law when they should be locked up like he perverts they are…..she’s also been in SI….and was lised in the top 20 top earning models…making her the kind of model you’d wan to marry….at least that I’d want to marry…. Here she is in some photoshoot wearing a tight dress…all amazing…
The rumor is that Fat models are people too…I don’t believe it…. I wouldn’t know because when I see fat girls, including my wife, my brain kinda turns off and they become invisible, unless it is 3 am and I have a boner that needs tending to, in which case my survival mode kicks in and I’m ready to face fuck as long as none of my friends see me go home with the bitch… But as I love of all half nakedness for money, even when it shouldn’t really be something bitch should be confident enough to pull off, I am gonna endorse her body as much as her doing this endorses obesity and diabetes to all the young girls in a “Love your body” campaign that is indirectly making everyone fat and unhealthy….instead of encouraging healt and fitness….

My name is Ellie, I’m 15 years old and I’m from Liverpool, UK. From the moment I saw Justin, I’ve always been a belieber. I cannot imagine my life without him, he is honestly my everything. My friends and I found out that Justin would be in the UK doing a book signing on the 12th of September 2012. We knew that this was too much of an opportunity to miss. The day the wristbands to meet Justin came on sale, we weren’t quick enough so we didn’t get one, we were SO upset. We knew that we had to travel to London no matter what because we were willing to do ANYTHING to meet Justin. On Wednesday the 12th of September, my friends Michka, Jessie, Beth, Matthew and I traveled 6 hours to London; not knowing where to go or what we were going to do when we got there. On that day it felt as though everything was going wrong. First we missed our train, so we had to get the train to Birmingham and then another train to London. By this point we had no hope that we was going to meet Justin. My friend texted me telling me that he was staying at the Langham Hotel. We got so excited starting to believe that we’d meet him. We got to London and as soon as we got off the train, we got the tube straight to the hotel. We basically ran around London asking every person we saw for directions. There was about 50 fans at the hotel at the time so we stood behind the barrier waiting. After not long of waiting, Dan Kanter came out of the hotel (which for us confirmed that Justin was actually in there!) We had bought Dan a present which was a guitar keyring with the UK flag on it. We screamed, “Dan we have got you a present” and he walked straight over thanking us for it, he is super cute. After waiting a little longer, Moshe walked out of the hotel, followed by Kenny, Alfredo and Justin. We all went crazy, screaming and some fans ran around the barrier and ran at Justin, he looked so scared! My friend Michka asked him for a hug and he said, “Only if you get behind the barrier”. Justin ran back in the hotel which made me think that we weren’t going to meet him. I was so angry at the people who ruined it for everyone else by literally attacking him. Kenny came out and made sure we were all calm and behind the barrier. We promised Kenny that we’d stay behind it. Justin came back out of the hotel, walking straight over to us. Everything around me just froze, I was just focused on Justin, it was like a dream. I literally could not believe what was happening. Through all the years I have spent supporting and loving Justin, the one thing I have wanted to do most is hug him. He came along to each person and got a picture with everyone. He went to my friend Kerris, then my friend Michka and I knew I was next. My heart was pounding so fast. I knew that I had to control myself or I would ruin it and regret it for the rest of my life. Just before Justin got to me, Alfredo was standing in front of me, I shouted him and he turned around and looked at me. I had bought him Oreos so I gave them to him and he gave me the cutest smile and said, “Awwwww thank you.” As Justin came to me, the first thing I did was lean over the barrier with my arms out and hug him. He was so delicate and fragile, I felt like he was going to break. We got a picture and all I kept saying was, “I love you Justin.” He looked right in my eyes and gave me the biggest, most cutest smile I have ever seen. I just broke down in tears. As he was getting a picture with my friend Beth next to me, I just had the urge to stroke his hair, so I did . It was so soft. It was honestly the best thing that has ever happened to me, I’ll never fully believe that it actually happened. After Justin got pictures with everyone else, he got in his car and drove away. Me and my two friends Michka and Jessie chased the car for miles before eventually giving up. We were all so so happy and could not stop crying. Then we were told that Justin’s next destination was Maida Vale Studios which was quite far away but we didn’t care. We ran to the tube station and got the next tube there. When we got there, there was about 30 fans outside so we knew for sure he was in there. We waited for a few hours and then Dan Kanter came out again and we met him and asked him if he liked the present we had gave to him earlier. He said, “Yes thank you very much.” After hours of waiting, we heard screaming coming from another exit of the studios so we ran as fast as we could to get there. We saw Justin but only very quickly as he rushed into his car. We saw Kenny and Allison and told Kenny that we had no wristbands for the signing. He told us just to go down there anyway . We got a taxi to the Camden Centre where the signing would be taken place. My friend Beth and Kerris had a wristband for the signing so we were going to go down with them anyway. We went around the back of the building where we then saw Alfredo (who blew a kiss to us) and Kenny. Kenny came out of the building and got attacked by so many fans. As I was at the front of the fans, I was also getting attacked by people trying to get to Kenny. He then pulled out a few wristbands to get into the signing. My heart dropped when I seen them because I knew if I got one, I would be meeting Justin again. I had people pulling me back by my hair, some people pulling me by my shoulders just to get to Kenny. Kenny looked down at me and told everyone to get off me! When they did, he looked at me and smiled and gave me a wristband! I cant even explain how I felt. I just broke down in tears thanking Kenny and screaming. I ran straight over to my friend Kerris who had a wristband and was just hugging her in tears. I couldn’t believe I was going to meet Justin for the second time in ONE DAY. When we got inside the signing, I was given a copy of Justin’s new book ‘Just Getting Started.’ We walked up the steps of the stage and saw Justin and Alfredo sitting at a table, meeting fans and signing books. Kenny was standing to my right. As I got to him, I said, “Kenny thank you so much for giving me a wristband.” He put his arm around me and said, “No problem, no problem, it’s okay” and then told me to stop crying and that I was supposed to be happy. I wiped my tears and told him that I was happy. As I got to the table, I gave Justin my book, he signed it and looked up and me. I can’t even explain how it feels to have Justin look right at you, it’s the best feeling ever. He grabbed hold of my hand and I said, “I love you so much.” He smiled and said, “Nooo…I love YOU so much.” I kept hold of his hands and then burst out into tears. When I got out, I saw my friends and we were all just hugging and crying. It was honestly the best day of my entire life. I have never been so happy. I’m so grateful for everything thats happened to me and hope that every belieber gets to experience something amazing with Justin just like I did. I’ve also got third row tickets for Believe tour which I’m so unbelievably excited about OH MY GOD. Thank you for reading my Bieber experience. -Ellie @ jbieberisahero The rest is here: My name is Ellie, I’m 15 years old and I’m from Liverpool, UK….
Facebook has released a new commercial, and it’s … interesting. Having just garnered its one billionth user – there are “only” 7,070,437,029 people on Earth – the social media behemoth is celebrating with this ad. Take a look: Facebook Ad Chairs, doorbells, bridges, airplanes . These are things that people use to get together and connect, Facebook tells us in the ad, titled “Things That Connect Us.” Or allow us to talk about how CRUNK u got last nite! Werd . The idea Mark Zuckerberg stole from the Winklevii and turned into a transformative network has become part of the fabric of 21st Century life. Point taken. The point of this ad? A little less clear. Is it that we should use Facebook more? That we should no longer use chairs, doorbells, bridges or airplanes? We honestly have no idea. The ad and the milestone come as Facebook continues to face pressure from Wall Street and the public about its disappointing IPO (Zuck’s adjective). When the company first sold stock on May 18, it offered a price of $38 per share, but the stock quickly fell by about half. Yesterday, it closed at $21.83. Be glad Mark and all his buddies took all the shares and largely shut small time investors out of the company. Blessing in disguise, people.
