I was looking around on Deadspin and saw this gem, only they didn’t provide the videos I found on YouTube. Click on the image for the enlarged version and try to find the female flashing the crowd at the X Games during the Speed and Style competition. All the different expressions are priceless…it’s NSFW I guess for side-boobage.

Did you notice the dude next to her? I sure hope not so look again. Well, it appears the crowd owes a him a beer or something for making it all happen…

And to think that this whole time I thought FBI really did stand for Female Body Inspector. Boy, is my face red…

From CNN.com:

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has threatened Wikipedia with legal action if the online encyclopedia doesn’t remove the FBI’s seal from its site.

The seal is featured in an encyclopedia entry about the FBI.

Wikipedia isn’t backing down, however. The online encyclopedia — which is run by a nonprofit group and is edited by the public — sent a chiding letter to the FBI, explaining why, in its view, the FBI is off its legal rocker.

“In short, then, we are compelled as a matter of law and principle to deny your demand for removal of the FBI Seal from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons,” the Wikimedia Foundation’s general counsel, Mike Godwin, wrote in a letter to the FBI, which was posted online by the New York Times.

“We are in contact with outside counsel in this matter, and we are prepared to argue our view in court.”

The whimsically written letter from Wikipedia says the FBI’s reading of relevant law is both “idiosyncratic” and “more importantly, incorrect.” It also notes that the FBI’s seal appears on other websites, including in an online entry from Encyclopedia Britannica.

So, they’re worried about people using the lo-res image for duplication? No one better tell them about the vector versions available all over the damn place…but one would need to know how to search The Google for “FBI vector logo”.

P.S. This doesn’t mean the terrorists have won, does it?

In true Swasted fashion, over at Exercising While Intoxicated they decided to try running the San Francisco Half Marathon while consuming a beer per mile. 13 beers in 13 miles. Why anyone would want to subject themselves to this kind of punishment is beyond me but I have to admit, it’s awesome. I’m down for some buzzed bike riding or something like that but running doesn’t sound very fun.

The run started at the Embarcadero around Fisherman’s Wharf and the Marina, across the Golden Gate bridge, back across and down to Golden Gate Park. See below an excerpt of the adventure…

From Exercising While Intoxicated:

Several of you told me that I was “going to die” if I drank 13 beers while running the San Francisco Half Marathon. I did not die.

I puked three times, blacked out for miles 11 and 12, and needed five hours to finish. This is my story.

This blog declared its intentions to drink 13 beers over the 13.1-mile SF Half Marathon. Realize that it is not possible to run a half marathon while carrying a 12-pack of beer. Sure, you could try… but the beer would get shaken up and explode upon opening each can. And then no one gets to drink any.

So I bought three beers at a time, and poured each 12-ounce bottle or can into a 36-ounce water jug. Holding the jug while I run, I can keep that fucker pretty steady — far more so than water bottles strapped on to my belt.

Gizmodo recently posted another Photoshop fail from BP. Similar to the image released a few days ago, its another amateur Photoshop job they posted to their site dedicated to documenting the cleanup efforts. Gizmodo goes on to point out the numerous inaccuracies like the horrible masking around the pilot on the left, an air traffic control tower in the upper left and instrument readings showing an open door, lowered ramp and engaged parking brake.

The image has since been removed from BP’s site, but that hasn’t stopped people from sending in their own hilarious parodies…

I love baseball and it would be nice to have a Triple-A stadium down the street but I’m not sure this is a good idea. No cash from the Padres? Is this really the way most minor league stadium deals are structured?

From NCTimes.com

Landing the top minor league team of the San Diego Padres would require Escondido to pay the entire $45 million cost to build a 9,000-seat ballpark and to give the team all revenue from concessions and naming rights, city officials said Monday.

Mayor Lori Holt Pfeiler said the city’s motive for spending so much money without any immediate revenue in return would be spurring development of a large district of shops, restaurants and condominiums near the ballpark, which would be built on mostly vacant city land between Washington Avenue and the Sprinter rail line.

“A ballpark would be a cool anchor that changes the way people feel about that area,” said Pfeiler, predicting the ballpark would attract many millions of dollars in private development to the industrial zone south of Highway 78 and east of Interstate 15. “This is the quickest way to get what we want to happen there.”

When asked about the proposal, City Councilman Sam Abed said he was concerned that the city would be committing nearly all of its redevelopment revenue for the next 25 years without any guaranteed return on that investment.

“The deal right now is frontloaded to the Padres and backloaded to the city,” Abed said, noting that the only immediate revenue would be “insignificant” lease payments from the team. “We only benefit if and when all this ancillary development happens.”

From SignOnSanDiego.com:

San Diego’s popular “Dave, Shelly and Chainsaw” radio show has a new home. The long-running morning gabfest, which has been off the local airwaves since January, begins airing Aug. 2 on Jack 100.7 FM — even though the team isn’t complete yet.

Headliners Dave Rickards and Cookie “Chainsaw” Randolph will be back, along with supporting cast Ruth 66, Chris Boyer and Emily Maguire. Shelly Dunn is still under contract with Clear Channel, which owns KGB/101.5 FM, where the show aired for almost 20 years. But Rickards does not plan on letting his show go on without her for too long.

“I’m doing everything I can to get her back,” Rickards said Thursday.

The North County Times is reporting Escondido is pulling ahead of San Marcos as the front-runner to become the next home for the Padres Triple-A baseball team. City officials have been meeting with the Padres to discuss potential plans a new minor league ballpark surrounded by a large shopping and dining district. Escondido officials say their location offers the greater potential for accompanying development and is located south of Highway 78 and just east of Interstate 15.

“They like the location and they like the potential for ancillary development,” said attorney Dave Ferguson, who last fall spearheaded an effort to bring a new San Diego Chargers stadium to the same area. Ferguson said the San Marcos ballpark site provided less opportunity for extra revenue.

Padres officials declined to comment Thursday, but Padres chief executive Jeff Moorad told the North County Times last week that the team was leaning away from San Marcos because another city had a better plan.

Today, Wednesday July 7th, two great San Diego athletes, LaDainian Tomlinson and Jimmie Johnson enjoyed the birth of their first child. Unfortunately, instead of using their combined wealth and the wonderful technology of the 21st century to form a super-athlete, they impregnated their respective wives (LaTorsha Tomlinson, Chandra Johnson).

It’s the first child for both couples but each are sneaky in their own way.

For the Tomlinson’s, we’re not sure if its a boy or a girl but Daylen was born to LaDainian and LaTorsha. Congratulations to LT and his wife. It’s going to be a rough year for the former San Diego Charger and new New York Jet. Fighting for playing time on the field and sleeping time at home.

Four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Jimmie Johnson’s wife Chandra gave birth to a baby girl but no name was released.

Landlords of several prominent retail locations throughout Escondido have been offering discounted lease agreements to retailers in hopes of filling their vacancies. So far, it appears its have been working.

Ross and Dick’s Sporting Goods will split the vacant 76,000 square-foot building on 9th Avenue that was formerly Mervyn’s but has sat empty since December 2008. Souplantation will open a new location nearby at an open spot near Applebee’s.

The building on Valley Parkway that was formerly Good Guys will become a Furniture Warehouse store. Another retailer has been secured for a vacancy across the street, formerly Circuit City, but no formal announcement has been made.

An Escondido In-N-Out Burger is currently being built on Valley Parkway just west of the 15 and Ruth’s Chris is adding a location in the new Lexus dealership, also on 9th Avenue.
