A Dead Corpse Watches a Soccer Game...
 |
| foto from Colombia Reports |
"Friends brought a coffin with the body of a 17-year-old boy into a soccer match Sunday between Cucuta Deportivo and Envigado," according to Colombia Reports. Christopher Jacome was a huge fan of Cucuta. He lived for the team. The young man was gunned down Saturday in a local park while playing soccer. To honor his love of soccer and Cucuta, his friends took his body from the funeral home after the wake and brought it into General Santander Stadium for the game. "They don't let in the fanatics, but yes, a cadaver. This is the only part of the world where this has happened," Julio Rivera, medic for Cucuta, told the paper. Stadium officials say they will hold a meeting to find out who allowed the dead body to be brought to the match."
Once again - WOW!!! Imagine if you just happened to be standing next to the group of friends with the coffin and Cucuta scores a goal. The stadium goes crazy and everyone is jumping and out drops the body right on top of you! That would freak me out for a good long time. According to the paper, at one point they were passing his coffin around the stands. It was like "Cadaver surfing." This really reminds me of the movie "Weekend at Bernie's," which is referenced in the article so I am not the first to think of it.
Only in Colombia I guess...

2014 Winter Olympics Mascots
A few days ago, I wrote a post on here about the Mascots for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Now, it is Russia's turn. They are hosting the 2014 Winter Olympics and here are the mascots:

Found these “cute” mascots for the 2014 Winter Olympics to be held in Russia. They really are kind of cute, but they don't strike me as "Russian" Enough. I guess since I remember the tale end of the Cold War, I think of the big tough Russians like Ivan Drago from the Movie Rocky.
My suggestion to the Russian Olympic Federation is to change their mascots. What about a Mean Polar Bear such as this one:

Or why not just break the norm and have a man as the mascot. Just have Vladimir Putin be the mascot. The dude looks tough and he seems pretty cool. I would buy a "Putin as the Terminator" T-Shirt!

Serena Williams' Sexy Commercial Banned
The following commercial was deemed "too hot for television", so it was pulled. Well, thank God for YouTube, now you can see for yourselves and I'd like to know if you think it's a little too risque.

Coach K to the Lakers: I said NO!
Now that we are near the end of NBA season the rumor wire is starting to talk. As we know this the last season for Phil Jackson so the search for a new coach is coming soon. The one rumor that doesn't seem to go away is Coach Krzyzewski leaving Duke to coach the Lakers. The Lakers made a strong push for Coach K's services back in 2004 when Phil decided to retire for a few months.
Coach K said yesterday that his stand has not changed since 2004. He would decline any offer to coach the Lakers. Even though he has a strong connection with Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom from coaching them on the Team USA, his love for Duke is much stronger.
In 2004 when he turned down the offer to coach the Lakers, he said "your heart has to be in whatever you lead. It became apparent that this decision was somewhat easier to make because you have to follow your heart and lead with it and Duke has always taken up my whole heart." That love is still as strong as ever as Coach K again has Duke as one of the top teams to win the National Championship this year. The chances of Coach K coming to Los Angeles are extremely slim but it doesn't mean that we can't wish for it.
Check out a quick peek at what Coach K had to say.

2012 Summer Olympics WTF?
During the last month or so, Iran has threatened to boycott the 2012 Olympics in London because the symbols look like they spell Zion. You be the judge:
OK, maybe the numbers 2012 kind of look like Zion, but I am sure it was unintentional.
Who cares?!?!?! Seriously, the 2012 Olympics have much deeper problems and it seems as though I am the only one who cares! Check these THINGS out:
Seriously!!!! Check out these two...things!!! No, this is not something from Yo Gabba Gabba -- These two things are Wenlock and Mandeville, the "official" mascots of the 2012 London Games.
Seriously, this looks like a cross between the Teletubbies and those weird things from Yo Gabba Gabba. Enough Already!!! Can we get back to having cuddly animals for mascots??? How many kids want a stuffed Wenlock and Mandeville to cuddle up to at night?

The one-eyed figures named Wenlock and Mandeville were unveiled at an east London school on Wednesday, with London 2012 organisers hoping they will inspire a generation of children while persuading their parents to contribute a share of £15 million the mascots are intended to raise in merchandising revenue.I wish the Brits good luck in marketing those two. It seems that every Olympic mascot that comes out during the last 16 years or so has been a terrible thing. I think to myself "They cannot possibly come up with a worse mascot for the next Olympics" and what happens...They prove me wrong. I can't wait to see the mascot for the next Winter Olympics. It will probably be a glob of snot or something.
Seriously, this looks like a cross between the Teletubbies and those weird things from Yo Gabba Gabba. Enough Already!!! Can we get back to having cuddly animals for mascots??? How many kids want a stuffed Wenlock and Mandeville to cuddle up to at night?

The girl who is now 17 years old said that Taylor belonged in jail for taking "something precious" from her. She has denied to this day that she was not a prostitute. Her attorney Gloria Allred did not say whether her client will pursue a lawsuit against Taylor.
