Elena Santarelli is the hottest thing to come out of Italy since the personal pan pizza. Enjoy Elena Santarelli.

Sigmund Freud didn’t invent psychiatry, but he did make it really friggin’ popular. While most of his theories have been abandoned by modern day psychiatrists, his impact as a populizer of the profession has been deep. Oh, so deep. And the worst byproduct of this impact? That everyone and their mom is an amateur psychoanalyst now. Yeeesh.

Perhaps the only example in the entire history of cinema of a sequel which is immeasurably better than its predecessor in almost every single way imaginable, The Road Warrior stands as a post-apocalyptic cult classic for the gasoline age. Real men love it. You should, too.

This week's episode: "Girls Fart Too." Jeah!

Quick -- what’s the quickest, easiest way to make a person you’ve just met hate you with the fire of a thousand suns? Why, wear a t-shirt with a banal, pointless slogan on it, of course! Not the funny, ironic, quasi-offensive stuff you might find at Snorg, BustedTees, or T-Shirt Hell, mind you, but the sort of pathetic, pointless crap which embarrasses not only the shirt-wearer, but everyone who has to come into contact with him. Here’s why you shouldn’t wear crap like that.

Stock photo models are hot. They don't get nearly enough credit when it comes to pointing out hot chicks. So, to give them their due I present to you five really hot stock photo models.

The rules are simple. We take a tag or two and enter it into each site. Then we examine the first page of results, and pluck out the images that have all the tags in them. Finally, based on the number of women (hot or not) that pop up we determine a winner. Today we chose to search for "hot" and "puppet." The results are interesting to say the least.

Someone is covertly painting a bridge with his poop, and residents are disgusted. Unbelievable local news story.

Early last week, the New York Times reported on a handful of Justice Department memos in advocacy of ways in which the CIA might act to deflect currently existing torture laws.  We have a serious problem with torture in this country, and it's time to solve it.
