We try harder: Unless all '80s movies featuring rag-tag sports teams have lied to us, underdogs always win because they try harder. Not so fast with your "underdog theory," say scientists who apparently get off on ruining everything fun. Their study using college students from different-ranked schools found that underdogs don't tend to rally to try harder because they see losing as confirmation that they, frankly, suck. The better team, with more to lose, tries even harder to avoid an ignominious defeat. Then you end up with things like the 2007 New England Patriots. Source 1 comment &bull Reply

That Ryan O'Neal is quite the crackerjack actor -- that is when he's not trying to shoot his own son -- as this scene from "Tough Guys Don't Dance" proves. Comment

Let's talk about sex

True Companion makes advanced sex robots -- life sized with silicone skin that's warm to the touch and the dead-eyed look of a real hooker -- and have taken it to the next level by having them talk. Does it include a super-advanced feature where she tells you about her day? 1 comment

How's that health care bill coming along?

This reminds us of that Sideshow Bob skit on "The Simpsons" classic "Terror Lake" in which he keeps stepping on rakes over and over and over until it's long past funny, becomes painful, becomes boring and then finally becomes funny again. 1 comment

NBC late night explained, with superheroes

NMA, the Chinese outfit who you may remember from such news reports as "Tiger Woods get's his ass whomped by his hot wife," uses animation to explain the NBC late-night show clusterfuck. Be sure to stick around until Conan transforms into Hulk. Leave a comment

"Pulp Fiction," the sitcom

It's a little-known fact that Quentin Tarantino originally wrote "Pulp Fiction" as a network sitcom and shopped it around to networks. Here's a never-before-seen excerpt from the unaired pilot. Leave a comment

I've got a bad feeling about this

Most people don't know this, but "Star Wars" was originally written by environmentalists. Too bad it didn't get made though. This movie sounds way better than the prequels. Leave a comment

Tonight we're gonna party like it's Windows 95

So, are you totally stoked over Windows 7 or what? If you are -- and, really, who isn't at this point -- Microsoft suggests that you have an ethnically diverse launch party, complete with a nonthreatening black guy, a hipster in Elvis Costello glasses, a MILF, balloons and more awkward conversation than a whole month of family reunions. 2 comments

They should have just let it be

This is why we founded this site: inadvertent masterpieces of kitsch like this. But before you Beatles fan out there -- and you know who you are -- get all hot and bothered over this "desecration," remember that if there's a penny to be made, Paul McCartney himself probably signed off on the deal. 3 comments
