Fedor Emelianenko will defend his newly won World Association of Mixed Martial Arts heavyweight championship belt on Oct. 11 against Andrei Arlovski in the UFC’s backyard.
The UFC has a pay-per-view event the following weekend, which could prove interesting since it would seemingly be difficult to have an opposing event so close (like they did this past Saturday). Who cares though, competition is the fuel of capitalism, and this can only benefit the fans. I don't want to see Fedor V. Arlovski as much as Fedor v. Coutre. But, what we do get is the number one heavyweight in the world V. the number five. Prediction: Fedor in a bloodbath by submission early in the third. It will be hard to see through my tears of joy and hard to hear over my gleeful eruptions, but I will try.
Since they happened simultaneously, we watched Affliction first. After the Fedor fight, I'm thinking, "This is the best fighter in the world right now." Until the Silva fight on UFC. Then I was back to thinking Anderson Silva is the best pound for pound. Obviously, everyone on the planet would kill his own mother to see these two fight, but I just don't think it will ever happen. Which is too bad because they are both running out of opponents quickly. Which is more impressive for Silva now that he is essentially in two weight classes. Arlovski was also very impressive, as was the preliminary fight shown on UFC right after the headliner where Rory Markham pulled a head kick out of nowhere that instantly ended Brodie Farber's night. Video below... who loves ya baby?
I don't know if you have heard about this new show on spike sundays at 10, but this show is really good. This show is loosely scripted, which is the real genius. Who hasn't worked an easy, grab-astic job with a hilarious bunch of slackers, and thought... "This would make a great show." This is that show. Its The Office only funny. You can check out an entire episode here.
Ben Rothwell is fighting former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovsky at the Affliction:Banned show on July 19th. A few years ago he was beating up kids that didn't have enough self esteem to be topless in public. Ben sure is living the American dream.
Ok, so this isn't all that funny, in fact, the video below is about as funny as this subject gets. But, it is a very cool sort of useful tool. People over 30 will never use it, people over 30 probably aren't reading this so, let me just get something off my chest... Bon Jovi is not as good as you guys say he is. There I said it, and it feels better...
There are lots of lawsuits popping up alledging various invasions of privacy associated with this new technology. The best of which is on thesmokinggun.com. This couple is very appropriately named the Borings...
APRIL 4--A Pittsburgh couple is suing Google for invasion of privacy, claiming that the web giant's popular "Street View" mapping feature has made a photo of their home available to online searchers. Aaron and Christine Boring accuse Google of an "intentional and/or grossly reckless invasion" of their seclusion and privacy since they live on a street that is "clearly marked with a 'Private Road' sign," according to a lawsuit the couple filed this week in Allegheny County's Court of Common Pleas. A copy of the April 2 complaint can be found below. According to the Borings, they purchased their Oakridge Lane home in late-2006 for "a considerable sum of money," noting that a "major component of their purchase decision was a desire for privacy." But when Pittsburgh was added last October to the roster of cities covered by Google's "Street View" feature, the Borings allege, their "private information was made known to the public," causing them "mental suffering" and diminishing the value of their home (which cost the couple $163,000, according to property records). The Borings are seeking in excess of $25,000 in damages and want a court order directing Google to destroy images of their home. Click here for some photos of the Boring property, which is now even easier to locate via Google Maps, since the plaintiffs included their home address on the lawsuit's first page. And while they are litigating, perhaps the Borings should consider suing Allegheny County's Office of Property Assessments, which includes a photo of their home (which was built in 1916 and sits on 1.82 acres) on its web site.
The best part about all of this is the small amount of justice that comes from the fact that these people are stupid. They were trying to get a free paycheck and if they actually cared about their privacy before, they have lost it all now. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Boring you have accomplished the opposite of everything you ever wanted, because you are too stupid to think about what might happen five minutes in the future. But, seriously, you should use street view its neat-o. Plus, you can take away people's privacy.
On June 22, 2008, Carlin was admitted to St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California after complaining of chest pain. He died later that day at 5:55 p.m. PDT of heart failure at the age of 71.
They say this is his best work. I like him from the Aristocrats movie too, though he was a little overshadowed. It is an undeniable fact that he was funny. As far as Ghost Boner is concerned, there is no higher compliment.
Who the hell thinks this is a good idea, or more importantly, how the hell did it actually work. Opening a fight with a cartwheel makes Rich Franklin's suggestion to drop to a knee to confuse your opponent seem downright brilliant. If I were coaching a fighter, I'd probably tell him to let me hit him in the face with a shovel before I said "Yeah, you should totally do a cartwheel right when the bell rings".
