What's the Big Idea Behind This Sneaky Gatorade Ad?

GiggleSugar — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 15:00:00 -0700

I watched the following vid and was overjoyed to see a chick finally kick arse at a male sporting event. But a little research later revealed that our bat girl never made this Spidey-inspired catch; the vid is actually a staged advertisement for Gatorade. The illegitimacy of the play makes me wonder if the Gatorade folks are mocking women's athletic potential with this ad, or on the flip side, if they're seeking to unsettle established gender norms and advance the girls-can-do-anything message. Or a bit a both? Tell me what you think.

The Prank War Proposal

GiggleSugar — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Our friends over at College Humor were in an ongoing prank war when one of the dudes took a joke way too far. He figured out when his buddy was taking his girlfriend to a Yankees game and arranged to have a fake marriage proposal flash on the Jumbotron in front of 57,545 fans. The dude's girlfriend was elated by the announcement, the dude was baffled, and our prankster couldn't help but laugh and pat himself on the back. It was all too cruel to be true - but the prank was for reals. Boys will be boys . . .

Headline: Roger Clemens and Trainer Face Off Over Steroids

LibertySugar — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 11:02:02 -0800

A he-said-he-said show came to Capitol Hill this morning, when Roger Clemens and his ex-trainer Brian McNamee testified under oath before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Last December, the government’s Mitchell Report asserted that Clemens used performance enhancing drugs, an accusation that Clemens’ teammate and trainer back. The hearing was not impartial, as members of Congress are not bound to the rules of evidence or questioning.

In his opening statements, Roger Clemens, a legendary pitcher, reiterated that he never used steroids or any other type of illegal performance enhancing drugs. Ex-trainer McNamee, who sat very close to Clemens, testified that he injected Roger Clemens with performance-enhancing drugs more often than he had previously claimed.

Clemens’ former teammate, Andy Pettitte, was excused from the hearing, but still took center stage. His sworn affidavit stated that Clemens told him he used Human Growth Hormones (HGH) around 1999. Clemens said that he was talking about his wife’s use of human-growth hormone, not his own.

Clemens’ statements could potentially set off a Justice Department investigation that could lead to criminal prosecution. Somebody's not telling the truth!

Funny Moments in Sports

GiggleSugar — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 02:00:00 -0700

The mascots at recent sporting events have been dancing, falling, acting like hooligans, and pretty much stealing the spotlight from the main attraction. Perhaps the following pics will get our eyes and attention back where they should be- that is...on the referee's crotch? (Thanks, eBaum's World!)

Coolness! The Baseball Balancing Act

GiggleSugar — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 02:00:00 -0700

Automatic home run for homeboy here! This is probably the first time in the history of the world this feat has ever occurred. I ask: Where is Guinness Book when we need them? Where is Guinness Book?!

Bounce With Me, Bounce With Me...

Just when you think this is a professional baseball game, it turns into a one-footed bounce off. Someone please explain what's going on here...

Another Mascot Steals The Show

GiggleSugar — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 16:00:00 -0700

Showboating mascots are really outdoing themselves these days, and I'm not just saying that to be "nice" either. It really shows. Check out Lenny the Lynx here. He's dancing and having a gay old time, until he drops it like it's hot. And by "it," I mean his personal safety. The upshot is that these stunts have massive crowd appeal. Hell, he made the evening news! Over and over and over again...
