Jessica Alba: Slut?

Gepetto again.

Yes, she's knocked up. Yes, she's hot. But a slut? That's a new one.

According to the NY Post, Jessica Alba developed "early" and was given the label of slut by her principal and other students' parents (an impressive resume)...

...in 6th grade.

"The accusation still ricochets . . . They think I'm a slut?," Alba recalls in "If I'd Known Then." Alba adds: "Boys are awful. They are made of nothing but hormones until they're about 20 or 21 . . . It's fun to have a crush, but don't think it's forever . . . And use birth control and condoms, please."

This is one of those times where you curse the sky and say "Damn you Mom and Dad for sending me to a private school" or something to that extent.

In other news, life still not fair.

Hat-tip to NY Post.

Christmas in March

Will this kid ever recover? I've heard great horror stories of this type of thing -- kids getting PS3 boxes filled with coal, or even an envelope filled with monopoly money. But these guys take it to the next level.

Why simply allow your kid to look like a moron when you can film his utter and complete disappointment?

Top 10: Baseball Oddities

Gepetto here.

With baseball season right around the corner, I thought it would be good to take a look at some of the stranger moments in the game. We're all used to seeing the Cubs choke, the Devil Rays lose, or the Toronto Blue Jays cry about their division placement. Let's look at some of the unexpected, shall we?

#10

Pay attention!

#9

Bunting for a triple? Only the Cubs.

#8.

If you're going to charge the mound, you had better make sure the catcher can't stop you.

#7.

People still care in AA, and apparently also smoke crack. Bonus points for the rosin grenade.

#6.

Who uses an eephus pitch? Bonus: He gets the K.

#5.

Being outside of America only means the Red Sox will overpay for this guy.

#4.

Throwing the ball back at the batters' head? OK.

#3.

I'm not much of a physics guy, but I'm pretty sure rounded objects don't do that.

#2.

Losing in a college game? Try this!

#1.

Randy Johnson winds up, and detonates a bird with his fastball. Easily the strangest thing...ever.

The college students are loose

You know, there's something about this idea that I find intriguing. I'm not sure if it's the music (which sounds like it came directly out of a "story" segment of a Sega Genesis game), or the fact that the people in this video probably got through college by doing random crap like this. Why write an actual paper about "expectations in society" when you can just lug a PC to a Starbucks?

"A" for effort, especially on getting machines running Windows 95. I don't know if the purpose of this was to point out the "modernization of society," or "a hastened culture" or even "expectations of public action at a Starbucks." For all I care, they just felt like taking an old school PC for the ride.

And somehow didn't get mugged.

I'm a bigger fan of this video, where people plot to freeze in place without warning. You've got to love some of the reactions, like the guy wit the backpack who thought it was one of those spooky sci-fi things where people think they've triggered some sort of time warp, and he kept poking one of the frozen people. He's probably thinking to himself "Oh God! Not again! Not again!"

Great job by all, especially the guy driving the cart.

"They are not moving! I need some help! Oh, nevermind."
