Dumbass Of The Day: Man Tries To Escape Jail One Day Before His Release
GRAYSON, Calif. -- An inmate who was just a day away from release fled from the Stanislaus County Inmate Honor Farm in Grayson on Thursday, the sheriff's department said.
Modesto resident Silbestre Penaloza Menera, 32, escaped through a gate that had been opened for a truck, then followed the vehicle and escaped. He ran into a cornfield.
Menera had just finished eating lunch and was returning to the yard when he ran for the gate, Deputy Royjindar Singh said.
A deputy saw Menera leaving as he was arriving for work.
The corn is 9 to 10 feet tall, so it's hard to see a human. A K-9 unit, sheriff's department helicopter, deputies and the California Highway Patrol are looking for him.
Menera was sentenced for a count of driving under the influence, the sheriff's department said. He was sentenced to serve five days with two days credit.
He also had a second DUI case pending in the court system, Singh said.
Chandler's Vedict:
NOT CLASSY!!!
This is probably the dumbest thing I have heard about in a long time. This is like a guy about to lose his virginity who decides that he'll masturbate just before penetration. Instead of waiting a few moments, or in this case a day...this jerk off decided to pull a Field of Dreams in the nearby corn fields. Kevin Costner's character didn't just say "what the hell" and decide to sprint like Carl Lewis into the corn fields. He listened to the sexilicious voice of James Earl Jones and stayed the hell out. This goof should of just sucked it up (literally) one last day.
Proposed Louis Vuitton Flagship Store In Japan
A new project by Dutch architects UNStudio - images show a proposed flashship store for fashion house Louis Vuitton in Japan. The current flagship store in Paris:
The exact location and construction schedule of the ten-storey building are secret for now.
The design for the 10 storey (54 meter tall) flagship Louis Vuitton store in Japan aims to establish an architectural equivalent of the identity of Louis Vuitton in which classical and modern qualities are blended, reinforcing each other. The design inspires the visitor with a feeling of being in the House of Louis Vuitton by celebrating the qualities that make up the essence of the company, its products, its history and its future.
The elements that represent the classical values connected to the Louis Vuitton brand are implicitly present throughout the design. These elements are to a large extent identical to the modernity also implicit in the name Louis Vuitton, along with the value of inventiveness. The element that moves through all the scale levels of the design is the leaf shape. The leaf is found in the floor plan, in the section and in the elevation. It has been applied to the construction also, responding to location-specific constructional demands. Leaf-shaped openings in the façade give the building a strong identity with landmark potential, while complying with the necessity for discreetness with respect to visibility from the outside. The leaf shape can be seen as bearing a connection to the famous Louis Vuitton monogram.
Rabba's Verdict:CLASSY!!!
Along with other architecturally stunning buildings all over Asia and Europe, this one looks to stand out more than a black man at a Jonas brothers concert.
The Beijing Olympics are here!
So it is Day 1 at the Beijing Summer Olympics and the story I have been hearing about is not about the smog or this year's American Olympic swimmer that posed for Playboy or even about the American Basketball team losing again. No, all the media attention has been revolved around a Chinese Restaurant called Guo-li-zhang (which if my lessons on the Chinese language from watching OMNI 2 serve me correct, I think means “House of Dick”).The Guo-li-zhang restaurant in Beijing has been making news headlines across the world with its "delicacies". The Guo-li-zhuang menu has a broad introduction to the medicinal benefits of eating animal penises and testicles.Yes that's right, animal penises and testicles - for people to eat them.
Ox penises help manliness. They're cut along the side and shaped into little stars. Apparently the more dick you eat equates to being more of a “man”.
The yak penis is served with a dragon. In the Guolizhuang restaurant there are more than 30 different animal penises on the menu. And for very special guests there's a list of others. I personally recommend the leopard dick. It has spots and is delicious. It’s somewhat reminiscent of the black & white cookie…total unity!!! Hey, isn’t that what the Olympics is all about?
'Henry's whip' is the house speciality at Beijing's Guolizhuang restaurant. It's a sheep's penis on a stick covered in mayonnaise, sweet cheese, served on a bed of lettuce. Sounds like the perfect food for a hangover!!!
The penises are often dipped in soy or hot sauce. For women, eating penis is supposed to be good for the skin. I’ve been trying to tell people that for years!!!!Along with the fine delicacies of a variety of animal penis you can try, they also offer deer-penis Juice (I would assume freshly made! Does it have pulp?) along with deer and sheep feces (Is it blended like a smoothie? Does it taste like Crunchy Peanut Butter or is it featured with lettuce, tomato and cucumber?)

The Great Black Ninja?
He missed, and smashed his face on the side of the car. He needed some medical attention before a trip to the jail.
NOT CLASSY!!!
Is this guy for real? Does he really think he is Jackie Chan?
There is only one explanation for this - he saw Ong-Bak the day before and thought he could jump through windows OR he thought that because he was black, the car was black and the windows are tinted he could make like a Chameleon and blend!
New reports show that this man was on crack.
"Special" Package for Grandma
A court in Australia heard that Raymond Toa Vaele, 46, had been delivering a parcel to the woman when she invited him inside to put it down.
As he handed her a clipboard to sign for the item, the woman noticed Vaele's erect penis poking 10cm out of his shorts. (She must have liked it somewhat as she looked at it long enough to know it was sticking 10cm out of his pants!)
Vaele, a father of four who worked as a sub contractor for the Australian Postal service, was sentenced to three years' probation over the October 23, 2006 incident inside the 62 year-old woman's Brisbane home.
"He didn't deny that it had happened," Mr Edwards said of the erection."He is ashamed and he is sorry."
Judge Charles Brabazon was less forgiving, however, after it was revealed Vaele - a devout Mormon - had been on bail at the time for attempting to kiss a 13 year-old girl and breaking into her home to leave lewd magazines for her to read. (Who does that? Fuckin' Aussies)
In a victim impact statement tendered to the court, the elderly woman said she had felt humiliated, violated and was now left with a deep distrust of postmen."It may be embarrassing for you, but it is disturbing for the people who are affected by it," the judge told Vaele."She was a widow at home alone."This was no passing event. It is something that has had a permanent affect on her." (She's a Grandmother, I'm sure she's seen a penis before.)
Rabba's Verdict:
NOT CLASSY!!!
Even though he didn't pull down his pants and start running after her around the house, who delivers the mail with a woody?
Something is really wrong with this guy - kissing 13 year old girls, leaving dirty magazines for her to read, delivering mail with an erection - this guy has problems.
Maybe he thought it would be funny if he pulled a Timberlake "dick in a box" routine, although I don't think she would have been impressed with that either.
His 4 kids must be proud!

Leave it to the Chinese...
The event, at Underwater World in Qingdao city, will feature sports including fencing, shooting, cycling and gymnastics, reports Qingdao Morning Post.
For the fencing contest, participants will fight while blanced on a steel cable with the one falling off first being declared the loser. (So stabbing the guy doesn't necessarily mean you win?)
And for the shooting, competitors will use specially made harpoon-style guns to pop balloons fastened to a board. (The same kind of gun they used to kill Jaws?)
Organizers say some events - such as gymnastics - will be easier underwater because athletes' bodies will feel lighter. (I dunno about you, but the lightest people I know are Asian!)
"All the participants are professional divers. We want to promote Qingdao city as the host of the sailing events of the 2008 Beijing Olympics," said a spokesman for the aquarium.
Underwater World says the games will last almost two weeks, till the end of the Chinese Spring Festival, around February 12.
Rabba's Verdict:
NOT CLASSY!!!Although I like the thought of this, I would prefer it if they took it to the extreme - like everything else.
An actual fencing match, sword fights, who can swim faster - the man or the shark?, underwater kung-fu or anything of that sort. Of course there would also be prize money at the end of it!

Superbowl Commercials
One of my favourites of this year...
Very funny as well...
I was expecting something along these lines, but it still made me laugh...
Good commercial with great CGI...
Funny little spoof on "The Godfather" horse bit....what an amazing looking car...
Not bad...I like how they added LL and Busta - always a good touch!
You can't go wrong with Gecko's dancing to Michael Jackson's Thriller!
Rabba's Verdict:

Superbowl commercials are always classic.
Although the Canadian commercials were ok, they are still nothing compared to those of the States.
Even though this year was not as good as previous, it is still good for a couple of laughs.

Superbowl XLII Highlights
That is the only thing I can say about this Superbowl.
Nobody could have asked for a better game than this...sacks, interceptions, fumbles, touchdowns, this game had everything.
As little Manning took on the undefeated New England Patriots in an all out war, it was the 12 point underdog Giants who took it home this year.
This morning, I came down to the TV turned on to a movie my dad was watching called "Facing the Giants". A movie about a Christian high school team who was winless the year before and with the help of God, went to and won the championships.
I should have read the signs because that is what the Giants needed today, God.
Manning throwing exceptionally well today, moving around the pocket, dodging sacks with Burress and Toomer making some big plays to help out. But it was really about Tyree and Boss (The 3rd and 4th receivers)on the last couple of drives to put N.Y. in the endzone.
Check out these highlights in the best Superbowl I have ever seen.
Rabba's Verdict:
CLASSY!!!
An amazing game with a happy ending.
New England loses and the '72 Dolphins still hold the record for winning an entire season (Superbowl included) undeafeated.
Although I do not like Manning that much, he stepped it up like I have never seen. Also, it's always good to see Strahan finally get a ring.

And The Most Annoying Person Goes To....
DJ CLUE. He has to be the most annoying person I have ever heard in my life.
If you have heard any rap song that has leaked into the public, you have heard him on the track.
I really think he got started in this business by everyone knowing him to be this annoying piece of shit, that the music producers said to themselves..."This guy is terrible. We need to make people stop downloading songs illegaly and off the internet, and I have a great idea. We will put him in these new rap songs, and repeat what he says over and over and over and over until he makes a parrot jealous." It worked.
He's so annoying, that I would prefer to rip my own ears off then to hear him ever again. Better yet, I would rip out his own tongue, make him lick his own ass, then shove it down his throat until he chokes so doesn't have to cause the music industry any more harm.
I think I would prefer to listen to Japanese karaoke!
If you don't know the magnitude of which this annoyance is...please listen to the track below from Jay-Z and Timbaland called "Ain't I".
For your reading pleasure, I have slow played the song and written down every single word DJ CLUE says in this song:
"YEAH...NEW JAYZ...YUP...DJ CLUE...I AM LEGEND, NIGGA...PART 1...YUP...CLUE...WHOOOOO...YUP...WORD...NEW JAYZ...IT'S CALLED AINT I...DJ CLUE...I AM LEGEND...PART 1, Y'ALL...CMON...WHAAAT...CLUE...HAHA...WORD...MY MAIN BLACK...125th...(Can't understand, Ebonics?)...14th Street...(Can't understand, more Ebonics?)...YUP...UH...CLUE….(Can't understand)...REMEMBER DAT...I AM LEGEND...PART 1...I....JIGGA MAN...YUP...DJ CLUE...DESERT STORM...FISHER BATES? (Possibly his drug dealer, or fellow gangbanger?)...AINT I...DJ TIMBO (The lucky man who will take over when DJ CLUE gets a pole mysteriously shoved in his mouth?)...DESERT STORM (He was in the war?)...EXCLUSIVE...YOU SEEN...I AM LEGEND...PART 1...YALL KNOW WHAT IT IS (I do? Sounds familiar, like from R. Kelly)"
So, besides the witty comments he makes such as Yeah, Yup, Whoo, Cmon, What, Word, Uh...I think he needs to remind us that we are actually listening to him instead of the actual artists, which is why he says his name repeatedly.
He also likes to tell us who is singing, because we can't see that from the file name, or the distinct voice of Jay-Z.
I have actually discovered a new man for the job...he's a great candidate as he is black, raised and currently lives in the streets and goes by the name of "DJ Bumbarass".
He has given me a taste and it goes like this:
"Whaddup Y'all...DJ Bumbarass...Straight outta the hood...This is Fo All A Y'all...Jerk Chicken, WHAT...Tiger Woods...My man...Dominoooos...Ya Heard...Purple Drank...Western Union, Brup Brup!...Bumba Bumba....Fooood Stamps!...Big tune"

EXCLUSIVE: New Jay-Z Track "Ain't I"
Joggers Under Attack!
The man was running along Sunderland Road, South Shields, when the rock-hard chocolate bar was thrown at him.
Police said the car - a black Nissan or Toyota - then turned round, drove back past the shocked man, and its occupants threw another object at him before driving off.
The bizarre incident, which resulted in the man suffering a swollen ankle, happened at about 10.30am yesterday.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 08456 043 043.
Rabba's Verdict:
NOT CLASSY!!!
First things first - Out of all things to throw...a Mars bar???? Let's get serious, who throws a MARS bar?
Everyone knows that a frozen SNICKERS would be much more effective - it has the peanuts inside!...(Amateurs).
I must say, the only time I witnessed something frozen being thrown at someone was at last year's Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills game which happened to be frozen oranges. Yes, oranges. From the looks of it, they really hurt as well.
This has shady written all over it. The jogger has a swollen ankle? From hiding in the bushes? Call the police? I can just imagine what a witness would say...
"Yes Officer, I did see them throw that chocolate bar at that man. Unfortuantely I didn't get a good look at the plates, it was really dark outside. No Sir, I did not get a good look at them either. I would've helped, but I was scared for my life. I thought if they saw me, they would come after me and stick ju jubes up my ass."
British Lady Full Of Shit
But things got worse when she was put into the van, which had been dispatched from Market Rasen Police Station.The 43-year-old pulled her knickers down and defecated in the back of the van - watched by another horrified officer. PC Steven Lingard said: "We switched on the extractor fan and she was picking up her faeces and putting it in the vents."This continued all the way to custody. At one point she stood up and urinated on the floor as well."But Kirkman didn't appear intoxicated, he told the court.
In her absence yesterday, Kirkham of Gibson Road, Hemswell Cliff, was convicted of assaulting a police officer and causing criminal damage. District Judge Richard Blake said he expected Kirkman would pay at least £300 compensation as part of her sentence.A warrant, without bail, was issued for her arrest.
Chandler's Verdict:
NOT CLASSY!!!
I definitely think that this lady should move to Japan. The Japanese police would embrace this woman as one of their own! Hey, I'm not picking on the Japanese...I love them!!! I play Nintendo...my car is an Acura...I support their economy...
Anyways, this lady is up there with Britney Spears in terms of being fucked up.
Who the hell decides to take a shit all over a police van after getting arrested?
The British from what I know aren't into this type of kinky behaviour. I would export her to Japan in exchange for some Nintendo Wii's and maybe a geisha girl. Now that my friends...would be classy!

Just Plain Sick (We Love The Japanese)
I'm sure we've all heard or had those crazy stories where the Japanese guy pulls a knife on you and tells you to strip (Or was that just me?).
Except this time, it's actually true.
A teacher at a Tokyo school was arrested on Monday for making a group of boys undress at knifepoint and stealing their underpants, Kyodo news agency reported.
A group of eight boys aged 12 to 13 were playing in school grounds earlier this month when the 26-year-old man, who teaches at a different school, approached them.
Two of the boys ran away but he made the other six take off their trousers and underpants, it quoted local police as saying. The knife touched one boy, causing minor injuries, they said.
I hope they find out that this is the guy that is supplying those vending machines with those underwear and panties.
Just when you thought that was it...there's a little something extra!
The principal of the school where he taught was shown on TV saying he was a dedicated teacher.
So not only did this Principal not deny he ever worked at the school, or that he will be fired...No no, he was dedicated!
Dedicated to what you might ask? Maybe he was dedicated in training the class the finer art of sniffing panties? Dedicated to teaching a class full of young children that dirty panties will fulfill all of their sexual desires? Dedicated to being able to lick his own anus while juggling 3 knives? I guess we will never know...
Rabba's Verdict:
NOT CLASSY!!!
What happened to the good old days where people with knives used them to shank hookers and homeless people?
Also, if I was a little Japanese kid and some stranger came up to me asking me for my underwear...I'm pretty sure I would've shit my pants, whipped it out and threw it right in his face.
And The Most Perverted Country Goes To...
He was arrested yesterday in Tokyo on charges of obstructing the business of service operator NTT Solco, part of telecom giant Nippon Telegraph and Telephone.
He placed 2,600 calls to directory help - reached in Japan by dialling 104 - between early June and mid-November, a police spokesman said.
But Japanese media said he is suspected of starting his habit in 2004 and calling 104 more than 10,000 times.
He reportedly told police that he was lonely and grew to enjoy annoying the operators.
"I would go into ecstasy when a lady scolded me," he was quoted as saying by Jiji Press.
Telephone operators - who in Japan are almost always women - nicknamed him the "don't-hang-up-man".
His calls usually came late and sometimes exceeded 200 times a night, Jiji Press said.
Chandler's Verdict:
NOT CLASSY!!!
The Japanese are sick. First Bukake...then used panties in vending machines...now sex calls to hardworking phone operators. I understand the allure of speaking to a stranger late at night while sniffing used panties, but come on man, they have 1-976 numbers for that.
It's almost as though the Japanese like to take it one step further with their sexual fantasies. For example, in North America, the average male would get turned on by getting a back massage from a beautiful woman. In Japan, they would have the woman covered in breast milk, with a fork piercing her labia, while singing the happy birthday song in German. Japan scares me. I wonder if they think normal stuff we do is disgusting. For example, a girl performing oral sex on a gentleman. Would they think that's sick because the girl wasn't covered in castor oil while eating a watermelon on her period? Hey, I'm just saying...
IRONMAN Trailer
Although Cloverfield was very disappointing - No known reason why this "Alien" is attacking NYC or the hand held camera action like the Blair Witch, which almost made me sick by the end of it. The only good part about this movie was the previews and more importantly...the preview for Ironman!
These comic books turned hollywood movie has seen its fair share of Good (X-Men, Spider-man, any kind of man) and Bad (Daredevil, Catwoman), but now they are coming out like never before.
Directed by Jon Favreau, this comic is based on "Billionaire playboy industrialist Tony Stark who makes weapons for the U.S. government. While out on a field test of one of his inventions, he is wounded, captured and forced to make weapons for the enemy. Instead, he fashions himself a crude powered armor to save his life and facilitate his escape. When he returns home, he revises his armor and finds new purpose as the armored Avenger Iron Man!"
With Robert Downey Jr. (who has seen his fair share of Good and Bad movie roles....and rehabilitation clinics) playing the lead role of Ironman, this one looks to be on the better side.
Playing alongside Downey in this Classic comic is Terrence Howard, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges and Samuel L. Jackson.
Rabba's Verdict:
CLASSY!!!
This preview makes it seem as Robert Downey was the perfect fit for this role.
Check backaround May 2 for Le Sprogre's review on this movie. Needless to say, I'm sure we have all seen terrible movies with a great preview!

GNARLS BARKLEY - RUN
http://www.zshare.net/audio/6991828c035def/
Chandler's Verdict:
CLASSY!!!
Gnarls last album, "St. Elsewhere" was amazing. If you haven't listened to it, go grab it.
I am sure all of you at one point heard their smash hit "Crazy" on the radio. Lot's of artists who have initial success with their first album, fail to deliever another hit on their second try. I think most will agree with me when they hear this. This will be a HIT!!!
Mats Sundin To Be Traded???
For you hockey fans that know, and for those that don't - the hockey trade deadline is less than a month away. This is the time that hockey teams who are in rebuilding mode or should be (Toronto) should be trading in those high paid players for younger talent and draft picks. On the other end of the ice, teams who are looking to be competing for Lord Stanley's cup, will be pursuing some of the best players in the league.
I caught wind of a little rumour for all you Maple Leaf fans.... If you are on the up and up with the Leafs and follow them closely, you should know that Mats Sundin is considering waiving his no-trade clause. Also, Toronto is close to signing the Swedish player, Fabian Brunnstrom who has 29 points in 35 games playing with the European team Farjestad.
What this means is that the Leafs Captain can be treaded to any team in the NHL before the trade deadline. As much as Mats says he is committed to this Leafs team, he always wants to win a cup - and he can't do it with Toronto. There are very good possibilities that Mats Sundin will be traded to Calgary or Detroit. Detroit seems to be the likely team to bid on him, but there are talks that Toronto wants to trade him for a solid defenceman - like Phaneuf.
The Vancouver Canucks have offered Toronto Naslund and Salo for the big Swedish Captain, but this deal will not go through. I firmly believe that Mats Sundin will not be part of this Toronto Maple Leaf rebuilding and if not traded away now, he will be by the end of the season.
Rabba's Verdict:
CLASSY!!!
Toronto needs a new leader. Although Mats does well in the playoffs, we need to make it there for him to shine.
We need a new All-Star to take over the reigns and start a new era for Leafs hockey.

11-Year-Old Boy Partially Deaf for Nine Years Is Suddenly Cured
An 11-year-old boy from Britain, who was partially deaf for nearly 10 years, was suddenly cured when a thick piece of cotton popped out of his ear, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
Jerome Bartens was diagnosed as deaf in his right ear when he was just two-years-old. Over the next nine years, he struggled to live a normal life as a young boy — but everything changed when he felt a sudden pop in his right ear while playing a game of pool with friends.
He put his finger in his ear and pulled out a tip of a cotton wool bud that had been wedged in his ear since he was a toddler.
"It was just incredible — his hearing returned to normal in an instant," Barten's dad said.
"I had always suspected Jerome had stuck something in his ear when he was little and that was causing the problem. But the doctors and hearing specialists said it was wax and he would probably grow out of it."
"I am amazed they didn't spot something as obvious as a cotton wool bud."
Jerome is due to be examined by hearing experts later this week — and his dad is taking along the cotton wool bud as proof of his "miracle cure".
"It was very strange at first to be able to hear everything," said Barten.
"But now I'm getting used to it — it's great that people don't have to shout to me or that I don't have to turn my head all the time."

How the hell do you have cotton stuck in your ear for 9 years?!!? How dumb were the doctors that worked on this kid? You think that they would take the time to look in his ears...I swear when I first read this I was convinced it was a prank...but unfortunately, it's true.
If this was my kid, I would first slap the doctors for being tools...then slap my kid for putting cotton in his ear...then slap myself for having a kid that stupid...then slap my wife just for the hell of it.

What's Hot In The World Of Music (Mp3 Update)
Adam Tensta - My Cool
http://www.zshare.net/audio/693798868b18da/
I'm not going to lie. The first time I heard this track was on Perez Hilton. If you are a fan of Lupe Fiasco or Kanye West, you will love this guy. First off, he is from Sweden. When was the last time you thought of Sweden as a hip hop country? Secondly, he is original. There is no talk of guns, or ho's, or gangbanging, etc. The video, which can be found below, is fresh. I think with proper promotion he could be huge, but then again, the number one selling ringtone artist in North America last year was Soulja Boy...
M. Pokora Feat Timbaland & Sebastian - Dangerous
http://www.zshare.net/audio/69378712101dc2/
This track will be huge. It has radio written all over it. M. Pokora is apparently some french artist who has recently hooked up with Timbaland to produce his third album. With this song, Timbaland sticks to his electro-pop sound, which helped his last album, "Shock Value" become a worldwide hit.
Kanye West Feat R. Kelly - Flashing Lights (Remix)
http://www.zshare.net/audio/6938121db9332c/
If you have listened to Kanye's last album "Graduation", you will know that "Flashing Lights" was definitely one of the better, if not, best tracks on the album. This time around, R. Kelly has joined Kanye to produce a stellar remix. Hate him or love him, R. Kelly has talent. He is one of the only singers I know that can actually make vulgarity sound classy. This is definitely worth a listen.
Flo-rida Feat Timbaland - Elevator
http://www.zshare.net/audio/69381823098de0/
I am not a huge fan of Flo-rida. I have only heard a few of his songs. This particular song will be a hit...mark my words. It seems as though that anything Timbaland touches these days turns into gold. He might as well be called "Goldfinger".

The New Jaguar XF
With Jaguar on the brink of being sold to Indian Automaker "TATA" (Which Ford Motor Company has given "Preferred bidder" status), this newly redesigned Jag got a much needed face lift.
With a front end that looks like a Hyundai (which was not the initial design - the C-FX had a much sportier skirt), the XF makes up for with a back end that resembles the beautiful Aston Martin (Designed by Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker).
With options such as motorized vents, paddle shifters, motorized drive shift knob (that rises in your hand when you start the car!) and push button start, this car looks like the new era for Jaguar.
Believed to be starting in the low 50K's...this Series comes in the standard 4.2L V8 pumping out 300 ponies and 303 lb-ft of torque or the Supercharged V8 (possibly a 3.0L V6 version).
I believe this car will be worth the wait with a release date of Spring 2008.
Rabba's Verdict:
CLASSY!!!
Jaguar has done a great job in remodelling it's new generation of sports sedans.
Check out this video to see this beautiful cars styling, handling, interior and options. Try to ignore the narrator - his voice is a little annoying and I found him hard to understand.
P.S. This is supposed to be the car that James Bond (The classiest of all gents) will be driving in Bond 22! If it's good enough for James, it's good enough for me!

The Newest Bond Girl - Olga Kurylenko
In the well-kept tradition of 007's adventures, Bond girls are alluring, quick-witted young ladies who just about any man would fall for. 28-year-old Olga Kurylenko from the Ukraine is certainly no exception.
The producers of Bond 22 have revealed that Olga is set to play the dangerously alluring Camille. Only few character details were revealed, but Olga's road to Bond 22 and stardom is an interesting adventure in itself.
Born on the 14th of November, 1979 in Berdyansk, Ukraine, Olga grew up in the midst of a broken family during the period when Ukrainians were dominated by Soviet regime. Her and her mother lived together with a variety of extended family in a four-room flat. Berdyansk provided its townspeople with one major source of income - it was home to the Azov Sea spring water plant. When the factory went bankrupt and closed, Olga's mother spent all hours of the day at odd jobs while her grandmother took care of her daughter.
At the early age of 13 on the busy Moscow subway, a Russian talent agent approached Olga and her mother, Marina. Years later, Marina reported to the press that she was at first suspicious of the scout.
"I was very surprised and kept asking this woman whether she had some hidden agenda. I was amazed a complete stranger could scout for models like this", she said. Yet, after receiving details from the agent and a promise of a bright future, she agreed to join the agent's books and was told she would be contacted when she turned 17.
Under her agent's guidance she received training as a model and before she had turned 20 years-old Olga was whisked to Paris to begin a career. After learning the local language in just six months, she lead a prosperous life in the French model set and was quickly able to leave some of the less-fond memories of her childhood behind. She rarely discusses her home-life or past but was convinced to spill a few of the secrets for a recent press article. As a model she was made a regular face in fashion and on pages of magazines such as "Vogue" or "Elle" before progressing to the sliver screen...
In 2005, Olga won her first onscreen role. "L' Annulaire" (The Ring Finger), a Diane Bertrand drama, saw the lovely model-turned-actress take the lead role of Iris. For her role in this picture she won a Certificate of Excellence at the Brooklyn Film Festival.
Over the next few years, Olga appeared in a variety of French art-house films - some far from being family friendly.
A variety of top-notch dramas and thrillers ultimately lead her to 2007's "Hitman", co-starring one-time Bond hopeful, Dougray Scott, in a rip-roaring adventure/thriller. "Hitman" provided the perfect Hollywood break for young Olga and her careful film selection has paid off and her relative 'unknown' status has contributed to landing her a lead in the James Bond series.
In November 2008, Bond 22 will see 007 fight an emotional battle after the loss of Vesper, unravel the mystery of Mr. White's shadowy organisation, and romance the sexy and charming Camille - played by Olga Kurylenko.
Chandler's Verdict:
CLASSY!!!
Plain and simple, this girl is HOT. The first time I ever heard about or saw her was in the film "Hitman". The movie was terrible in my opinion, but what caught my attention throughout the whole film (besides the terrible casting of Timothy Olyphant as Agent 47), was this gorgeous unk own eastern european beauty.
Like I do with most films that I watch, I went over to imdb.com, which Le Sprogre highly recommends, to read a little bit more on the movie. Playing the role of "Nika" was a little known model turned actress named Olga Kurylenko.
A little known tidbit about myself is that I am a HUGE James Bond fan. The fact that they cast this beauty as the next Bond girl is unbelievable. The funny thing is when I watched Hitman I actually thought to myself that she would make a great Bond girl. I know that they state the producers chose her for the role, but hell I bet either Paul Haggis or Daniel Craig hand selected her. I say Paul Haggis because he's Canadian and Canadians are notoriously classy (well most of them) and Daniel Craig because he's one of the most badass Bond's since Connery. Thanks to Olga, I have another amazing reason to look forward to the November release of yet-to-be-titled new Bond film.

Tom Cruise Does It Again
After all the crazy things Tom Cruise has said or done...this has to rank top 3.
This is by far the most interesting celebrity story of 2008 so far...
This video clip reassures my belief that this Scientologist (Not in any way a religion) cult has some of the best brain washers in the world getting these famous celebrities to buy in (literally) to this group.
Celebrities reportedly involved with Scientology:
Tom Cruise
John Travolta
Kirstie Alley
Beck
Juliette Lewis
Giovanni Ribisi
Lisa Marie Presley
Rabba's Verdict:
NOT CLASSY!!!
Although I like the Will Smith edit, Tom Cruise really has something wrong with him. It is quite amazing how stupid some actors are and how his agent approves of these interviews.
Million Dollar Idea: Like 911 for police, we need 666 for Scientologists.
GPS Tracking of all scientologists will help in aiding any person that is involved in a car accident!

This Guy Defines "Priceless"
Chandler's Verdict:
CLASSY!!!
To be able to drive a car through the front window of a convenience store and still have the confidence to go up to the counter to grab gum (obviously to keep his breath fresh) and smokes (perhaps to offer to a lady?) is truly a gentleman in disguise. This guy is the hero of my day.

The Beer Wars
As I'm sure most of you have seen (Either during the break of Heroes or through the quickly circulating You Tube) Bud Light has released 2 Pre Super Bowl commercials that they are hoping will become as popular as the "Whasssssup" commercials a few years back.
The commercials named "Dude" portrays your average joe using the catchy word "Dude" throughout the commercial through various incidents.
I am looking forward to the Super Bowl ads, but I do have a feeling Budweiser will be coming out with another good year of .30 second entertainment.
Rabba's Verdict:
CLASSY!!!
I love these commercials and will continue to - until Bud Light plays it out like all the other Beer ads.

Old School Classic Track By Dr. Dre
Oh how I miss the days of the West Coast running the rap game. The shit they have coming out of the South and even parts of the East these days disgusts me.
This is rarer track by the legendary Dr. Dre and some of his crew. Enjoy.

Newest Hip Hop Mp3's & T-Pain Exposed
On this track, Snoop flexes his vocal chords and dishes out a classic track. When I first heard this song, I immediately thought that this was another track with T-Pain, but to my surprise, it was Snoop.
I hate T-Pain. Hate him with a passion. I doubt this guy can even sing. He uses a vocoder type of connection to his microphone that allows him to have that electronic sounding voice. This track just proves that anyone can sound like T-Pain. I have added links to the actual video for this song and a video of a random guy using the same program/technique that T-Pain uses. This guy cannot sing worth shit, yet he makes his song sound good with this program. You be the judge.
Also, below are some of the latest hip hop tracks that I'm listening to. A definite standout is Fat Joe's 300, which samples the movie of the same title.
Enjoy.
