Ghetto Baskets is a way of life. It’s keepin’ it real. It’s the real deal. Seriously, it’s for real.

Ghetto Baskets made it their life’s mission to provide sensible offerings to those who would not otherwise be able to afford them. They use the cheapest products they can find and pass the savings on to you.

Appropriate occasions for the Ghetto Basket:

• You just found out the baby isn’t yours
• You got an extension on your unemployment
• A loved one was recently released from prison
• A hated one was recently shanked in prison
• The tornado didn’t blow your trailer away
• Britney Spears released a new album
• You just got your GED
• Arbor Day

It’s that simple. You never know exactly what each Ghetto Basket will include. It all depends on their shaky contacts and what falls off of trucks around the neighborhood. But it might have:

• Hot Sauce
• Pregnancy Test
• Grape Drink
• Batteries
• Beef Jerky
• Potted Meat
• Pork Rinds
• Noodles in a Cup
• After Shave
• Plastic Commemorative Plate
• Religious Candle
• Porcelain Figurine
• Kung-Fu DVD
• Cassette or VHS Tape
• Doo Rag
• Vapor Rub
• Energy Drank
• Soap
• Outdated Calendar

Video response to “Been Counting Money.” Daniel Tosh takes a look at the difference in what paper means to different cultures.

Oh, boy.  Do we love a scandal.

It turns out some perv spied on ESPN T&A reporter Erin Andrews in a hotel room and put the videos online.  This would probably not be such a case but it turns out that Andrews likes to do her hair and get ready completely in the buff. 

We always suspected.

Now the colossal shit has hit the fan.  ESPN and Erin Andrews are allegedly reported to say the tapes are legit and are seeking legal action to remove the tapes off the Internet.  However, it turns out that the tapes date back 4 months ago and have been on Daily Motion since then. The legal departments are working fast, though. Cached links to the video have already been taken down from Daily Motion and off Google. So the odds are if you haven’t seen the videos by now you probably will not ever get to see them.

Blogger Don Chavez did a little investigation and he found out that the tapes were tagged as being in Montgomery, Alabama.   Turns out some creepy dude made a peephole and videotaped the busty reporter in her hotel room without her consent.

The videos themselves consist of Erin Andrews standing completely naked while brushing her hair and getting ready.  It’s a mild celebrity sex tape of sorts since it’s just a perverted peeping tom catching the woman in the buff without her consent. 

We bet that the hotel that Andrews stayed at gets a nice look at by the ESPN legal team so there will no doubt be some more news to come about the events.

Since there’s no way in the world we would post the actual video we thought we’d get to the next best thing. Here’s a clip of our boy, Bruce Pearl, feeling up Erin Andrews.

The paparazzi has caught Lily Allen in the nude before but we love how society has gotten to a point where a celebrity look for attention and posing nude in a non-smut magazine is fine. Seriously. We’re cool with that.

Renovations to Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee, are on schedule for the opener against Western Kentucky on Sept. 5. While the Tennessee Vols have been making headlines in the offseason with new coach Lane Kiffin [and his great recruiting class] there has been a continuing upgrade of Neyland Stadium which is finishing another round of facelifts.

This new section holds the press box and VIP area including the coaches wives. Yes, Lane Kiffin’s hot wife will be sitting up there. Go Vols!

Walter Cronkite (November 4, 1916 – July 17, 2009) was a CBS broadcast journalist who was the anchorman for the CBS Evening News for 19 years (1962–81). During that time he reported such breaking events as JFK’s assassination, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Watergate scandals and the NASA landing on the moon in an extraordinary journalist career that stretched all the way back to World War II.

Generations grew up watching “Uncle Walt” on TV and many trusted him as much as a member of their own family. Walter Cronkite died at his home in New York City, New York, at the age of 92 on July 17, 2009.

And [sadly], that’s the way it is…

Head down to the local toy store and you’ll get a close look at the new Cobra Commander from the upcoming G.I. Joe flick. The toys are out in public to buy and here’s our first look at one version of the evil henchman.  Check out your local Target for these as well as the bigger 10″ versions.

Our generation grew up with the toys that kept us busy until we figured out that girl cooties are a good thing so we hold a close fascination with the project even though it’s being directed by the “Mummy Returns” guy.  We’re still not sold on the flick and wonder if it will come out like a lamb [ like "Terminator: Salvation] or will it be a lion [like "Star Trek"]?

The juicy role of Cobra Commander is being played by former child star Joseph Gordon-Levitt.  If that name is not familiar than just try to remember the kid  from the sitcom “3rd Rock From The Sun.”

Yep.  Tommy’s all grown up and trying to take over the world.  Of course he looks like a burn victim with a bunch of medical weapons.  Watch out!  He’s gonna Bo-tox you!

While we’re sure that the producers wanted to keep Levitt in character and masked at the same time [hence the transparent mask] we wonder about the look of the new Cobra Commander.  As you can see in this trailer, Cobra Commander still has hair and doesn’t look like a pot roast yet so he must have fallen asleep on the tanning bed somewhere during the course of the movie.

Now the Neo-Viper [see below] is looking pretty mean so we see what they might be going after.  However, we say slap the silver faceplate back on Cobra and use the transparent stuff for Scarlett!

Olivia Munn is apparently working on a Star Wars fan film. While doing our daily search for all things Olivia Munn in preparation of the G4 coverage of next week’s Comic Con we found some interesting pics of the sassy, young lass decked out in Star Wars uniforms.

We’re excited because these Olivia Munn pics come from Atom.com who is also doing the Star Wars Fan Movie Contest so we can rightfully expect the two to tie in together. Awesome!

It’s only natural to break wind. Even for penguins. At work we hold contests for various attributes such as smell, length, and flammibility.

Now what happens when a penguin, swimming underwater, breaks out a nasty herring-laced fart?

Seems like the Irish version of Mr. Moviephone doesn’t have a sense of humor. Check out what happens when this dude calls into an Irish movie theater and sees what time “Bruno” is playing.
