Lance Armstrong's Bloody Problem
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN, LANCE? DEPT.
The US Anti-Doping Agency has once again leveled doping charges against that dope Lance Armstrong, accusing him of altering his blood samples to cover up use of performance-enhancing substances, including EPO and testosterone. If found guilty, he can be stripped of his seven Tour De France titles and be barred from future competition. But whether Armstrong is found guilty or not, late-night TV hosts and snarky websites will continue to sink their teeth into the disgraced cyclist. See?
Lies that George Zimmerman’s Wife Told Police
LIAR BEWARE DEPT.
George Zimmerman’s wife, Shellie, was charged with perjury on Tuesday after telling a judge that the couple had “limited money,” when they’d actually raised over $135,000 on George’s website, TrayvonKindOfScaredMe.com. If convicted, she could face up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine — and that’s not even taking into account these...
MAD's "Dallas" Parody
CLASSIC MAD DEPT.
Dallas is back! Massively popular in the 1980s, the nighttime soap is returning to television tonight, continuing the epic story of the wealthy Ewing family and all of the drama that comes with their 1% lifestyle. What better way to catch up on the saga than with MAD's 1981 parody, "Dullus"?

New Green Initiatives of the Ku Klux Klan
BOYS IN THE HOODS DEPT.
The Ku Klux Klan recently approached the state of Georgia about joining their “Adopt a Highway” program, claiming that their goal is to keep the mountains beautiful. While we appreciate the KKK going green, that’s probably not the first color they need to reconcile with. If the Klan succeeds, the people of Georgia can look forward to seeing their roads filled with less garbage...but much more white trash. Regardless, if the Klan is looking to help Mother Earth, they should embrace all of these...
Other Ways the Nobel Committee Could Save Money
MEDALING IN THEIR AFFAIRS DEPT.
The Nobel Foundation, responsible for the distribution of the Nobel Prize, just announced that they’re cutting the amount of their prize from $1.4 million to a piddling $1.1 million! Although some have pondered getting rid of the ceremony altogether, what would be the point of acts of selflessness and charity if you weren’t rewarded with worldwide recognition and a large cash prize? Still, if the Nobel foundation REALLY wants to turn things around, it’s time to make these…
Excuses of the Losing Horses at Last Weekend's Belmont Stakes
THE BELMONT MISTAKES DEPT.
This past weekend, "I'll Have Another" was scratched from the Belmont Stakes mere hours before race time, ending his run for the Triple Crown and disappointing thousands of degenerate gamblers. With "I'll Have Another" retiring to battle tendonitis and the irony of his name, the odds aren't good that anyone cares about the "Single Crown"-winning "Union Rags" or any of the losing horses, for that matter. To give them one more chance to talk their way out of a one-way trip to the glue factory, we thought we'd give them a chance to offer these...
Don Draper Lines That Were (Wisely) Cut From Season 5 of “Mad Men”
WEINER TAKES ALL DEPT.
Season five of Mad Men has finally come to its conclusion. The show truly brought us back to a simpler time when a man could get by on identity theft, womanizing, and alcoholism alone. But through it all, Don Draper retained his title as the coolest douchebag on television — although it could have gone in a different direction. We obtained some lines cut from the fifth season that, even if he turned up the charm to full blast, Mr. Draper himself couldn't have sold...
