Mexican newspapers finally get to put non drug related face shooting on front page.
UPDATE: It’s been pointed out to me that this is a fake composite that’s been floating around for some time. That however is not a fake newspaper. Some Mexican editor is about to have a bad day.
If you Google “1990s,” do you know what the fourth highest Google result is? It’s not OJ Simpson. Not the first Gulf War or some Yugoslavian war. Not Nelson Madela’s election in South Africa. Not Hong Kong’s return to China.Not Ytzhak Rabin’s assassination.Not the Kobe earthquake. Not even the Monica Lewinski blowjob.
Run, don’t walk, to bid on this Sarah Palin-signed Fighting Sioux of North Dakota hockey jersey. You too can have in one product two symbols of preposterous Americana: Rhetoric-justified stubborn bigotry and Sarah Palin’s signature…
Bidding is near $5,000.
The question is, who is the unpatriotic gasbag who would sell such a fine symbol of our nation?
Via Deadspin, here is professional hockey player Brian Boyle.
Yes, I said professional athelete. A hockey player no less, not like, a tennis star or ping-pong champ. Hockey players are basically a combination of soccer and basketball players except only those players’ most violent lack of self regard characteristics. Meanwhile, wasn’t the whole point of being a hipster doofus that you were a misunderstood artist who couldn’t wait to escape your small school that only rewarded sports to make it to the big city where you could express yourself (by dressing like a combination of Eastern European tourists and 8-year-olds)?
Is he wearing TWO leather jackets?
Come on people, I count on my stereotypes to get me through the days. Stop messing around like this.
Casino Jack Next in Spacey’s Casino Stereotypes Series
Kevin Spacey’s new film “Casino Jack” has a distributor. The film is the story of Jack Abromoff’s defrauding of Native American casinos. It’s billed as “‘Wall Street’ and ‘GoodFellas’ in our nation’s capitol.”
Spacey was last seen bilking casinos in the card-counting true story “21.”

$42 Million Jackpot “Malfunction” Getting Play

A woman at the Fortune Valley Casino in Colorado hit a $42 million jackpot on a penny slot. It was a malfunction. Fox News is on the scene!
The name of the game was never revealed.
The comments are eye opening in terms of how players think about the games they play:
“I think the govt and casino’s are in for us…they both want us to pay pay pay but when the roles are reversed….it’s a whole other story!! PAY THE WOMAN!! What a load of crap!!”
and
“What a dishonest industry. They profit by so-called “malfunctions.” Were they to have to pay up a big win, wouldn’t there be less “malfunctions”?”
and
“What a con job.”
This seems like a missed opportunity for some good PR. A free room and $23? $23?! Properties should keep in mind that the media is hungrier than ever to turn any simple everyday thing into a public outrage for ratings.
“AlaskaMen® Magazine is the original homespun matchmaking effort that was put together by Susie Carter and her family on their kitchen table in Anchorage, Alaska over 20 years ago. The full color magazine features an abundance of single men whose rugged individualism, spirit and vitality make them unique among men of the world.
Women purchase Susie’s AlaskaMen Magazine, and are encouraged to write a letter, to the bachelors they like, with the hope of finding their sweethearts.
Susie still personally interviews the men, helps them figure out what they are looking for and what they do not want. She helps them fill out the AlaskaMen® application and writes their stories like she did when it all started in 1987.
When a bachelor tells Susie he’s taken, she immediately publishes his name on the taken list on her website. Of course, sometimes they call and ask to be removed from the taken list too. Women are encouraged to check the list before they decide to write to someone.”
