Kid Gets Gay Porn Instead Of 'Madden'Posted by Stephen Johnson - Friday, January 05, 2007 4:02 PM
Precocious 14-year-old gamer Kolton Mahoney got a special surprise when he opened up the 360 version of Madden '07 he bought: Hardcore gay pronography. He bought it at Circuit City, and EA is looking into how this travesty could have happened. According to Utah's Standard-Examiner, when Mahoney laid eyes on the pornographic images, he thought to himself, "This is definitely not Madden." I talked to TheFeed's PryzeFighter about these developments to get an expert opinion. TheFeed: What would you do if you got gay-porn instead of Madden? Pryze: Wait, gay porn? TheFeed: Yeah. Totally gay. Pryze: If it was gay porn, I'd post it on the internet first. Screen-capture it, post it on the web and then, the frivolous lawsuit.

Wii Sports Peripherals On SalePosted by Stephen Johnson - Friday, January 05, 2007 3:42 PM
The only thing more fun than playing with your Wii is playing with your Wii in a specially designed Wii-peripheral like the ones featured above. You basically stick your Wii in these plastic sport-looking thingers and Wii away, which is fun for you, your thinger and your Wii. You know what would freak your mind? Sticking your Wii in a tennis racket and using it to play golf. The possibilities are almost endless.

Boobs Used To Sell PS3Posted by Stephen Johnson - Friday, January 05, 2007 2:45 PM
Way back in November, TheFeed posted a selection of pictures of broads on eBay hawking PlayStation 3s. Back in those days, a PS3 was pretty expensive, but eBay demand for the system has fallen since then.So eBay sellers auctioning SkankStations are removing more and more clothing. If I weren't incredibly stupid, I'd figure out the exact correlation between shrinking PS3 prices and shrinking outfits on would-be PS3 entrepreneurs. I was going to put together another collection of photos, but gaming blog TheLastBoss beat me to it. I will include the following picture just to comment: "Yeah, you twists are really hot, but maybe you should spend less time standing around with your fingers in your mouth and more time cleaning your filthy f***ing house."

'Wolf Fighter' Aims to Rid Idaho of AnimalsPosted by Matthew Bretz - Friday, January 05, 2007 2:26 PM
These are the words of hunting outfitter Ron Gillett, a man consumed with a kind of utter disdain for wolves not seen since Mick McAllister and the Dragons. The Associated Press-described “self-described wolf fighter” is leading the charge to convince Idaho voters that their state would be better off if its wolf population were eradicated. The state government of Idaho began introducing Canadian grey wolves into the state in 1995 after the animals had approached extinction due to over-hunting. A decade later, the wolves are thriving and, according to Gillett, are eating too many elk and livestock.

Mainstream Game Coverage LackingPosted by Stephen Johnson - Friday, January 05, 2007 2:18 PM
So I'm checking the internets for videogame news and I run across an article from Excite News. Basically, it's a pretty standard take on how advertisers are inserting more clever ads in videogames... not really news, but hey, whatever. But then I read the following awesomely clueless paragraph: "In many games, players who enter the top-secret "cheat code" could become invisible, get unlimited ammunition or play in an all-powerful God mode. Or they'd play for hours until discovering brightly decorated circles or balls - known as Easter eggs - that unlocked bonus points, monster-slaying swords, extra lives or infinite health." Good job, Excite News! I'm off to hunt for Easter Eggs! Excite News: Advertisers Exploit Video Game Secrets

Ghostface Killah Vs. The KillersPosted by Frank Meyer - Friday, January 05, 2007 1:40 PM
"I wanted to do a song with them. I'm Ghostface Killah and they're the Killers,” the rapper told Spin recently. “We were going to do a mash-up with my vocals over their music, and it was going to be the Killers meet the Killah. But they didn't want to do it. I was disappointed." What? Are you guys f**kin’ crazy? Damn you, Brandon Flowers!

HBO Wants To Get You DrunkPosted by Mike D'Alonzo - Friday, January 05, 2007 12:31 PM
You see, if you live in New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago, and you're going out to dinner this weekend, odds are pretty good that you might be solicited and given a free bottle of wine with the HBO logo and an ad for Rome on it. Oh, and the wine was made here in California...perhaps the least Italian place on Earth. But, it's a nice idea. Smart marketing. Smarketing. Advertising Age: A Taste of 'Rome'

Rainn Wilson, 'Servant Of Justice!'Posted by Mike D'Alonzo - Friday, January 05, 2007 11:46 AM
Just the thought of Rainn Wilson playing an annoying civil servant who thinks he's cool makes me laugh. I'm serious. I'm laughing now. And now. And also now. It's going to be a pretty funny film, if the talent involved steps up to the plate. Mark it. It's going to be funny. Yahoo! News: "Office" fascist Dwight on "Rhodes" trip

Snoop Sued Over SnooperbowlPosted by Frank Meyer - Friday, January 05, 2007 11:30 AM
The complaint, which was filed last week in New York Supreme Court and alleges breach of contract, seeks $250,000 in damages plus attorney's fees. Natural Resources says the deal gave Natural Resources exclusive pay-per-view, cable, home video and other video footage rights for the league in exchange for raising and providing more than $100,000 (51,600 pounds) for the production and splitting revenue with the foundation.

Tyrese Smacks Baby’s Momma?Posted by Frank Meyer - Friday, January 05, 2007 11:18 AM
Damn! Police say Tyrese's live-in girlfriend is saying they got into an argument around 5:30 a.m. at their Los Angeles home. Paramedics responded after Tyrese reportedly struck the woman, who is three months pregnant, twice and then sped away from the scene. Now, the question is: was it his hip hop “alter ego” Black Ty who beat his baby’s momma? Or Master Sgt. Epps, his character in the upcoming Transformers movie? Or was it Tyrese, the R&B crooner who sang “Taste My Love”?

Chris Kattan Engaged To A ModelPosted by Mike D'Alonzo - Friday, January 05, 2007 11:17 AM
Not only is she a model, but she's a smoking hot model. Yikes. I can understand girls like that ending up with comedians who have some talent, but did she not see Corky Romano? Dude deserves a couple of penalty strokes just for thinking of that movie, let alone making it his star vehicle. But, no. He ends up screwing a hot model named Sunshine. Where is the justice, I ask you? Yahoo! News: `SNL' alum Chris Kattan engaged to model |
Bronx, New York rapper Remy Martin, Chicago, Illinois rapper Shawnna and Miami, Florida rapper Jacki-O have teamed up to create a new all-babe supergroup.
Things are looking up for XM satellite radio, the subscription radio service people were so sure was going to fail five years ago. XM managed to snag 1.7 million new subscribers in 2006, pushing the total number of subscribers to 7.6 million.
“There's only one way to manage wolves in Idaho, and it's to get rid of them.”
Wu Tang Clansman Ghostface Killah says he was dissed by The Killers!
HBO loves you so much that they want to give you free booze, just so you'll watch Rome. Now, to be fair, they'd have to give me a lot of booze to want to cuddle up with that overblown soap opera set in Roman Civilization, but I suspect I'd eventually develop beer goggles for it...or wine goggles, in this case. 
Cutting edge knife maker David Bowie turns 60 today.
In a pretty awesome Marvel team-up, genius comedian Bob Odenkirk will direct Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office) in a film called Kanan Rhodes: Unkillable Servant of Justice. Apparently, the film is about a public servant who serves up subpoenas to people, and thinks he's James Bond. This from a script written partially by Odenkirk, himself.
Snoop Dogg is being sued by New York-based Natural Resources Media & Technology Group over his Snoop Youth Football League Foundation. They are alleging his foundation made a deal for a reality television series chronicling the rapper’s involvement in the league and its “Snooperbowl” event that is a violation of a pre-existing deal with 20th Century Fox to develop a similar feature film.
TMZ has is reporting that singer/rapper/actor Tyrese is being accused of punching his pregnant girlfriend in the arm and thigh early Thursday morning.
Remember Chris Kattan? The other Roxbury guy, aside from Will Ferrell? The guy who played Mango on SNL? Admit it, you always thought he was gay, right? I mean, I always did. The guy threw off more of a gay vibe than a full season of Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. Yet, it seems that we were all duped. Mr. Peepers himself has gotten engaged to a model named Sunshine Tutt.
