CBS rejected a Super Bowl commercial for a gay dating website. If you want to see unbridled, hot, sweaty, man-on-man action, just watch any play of the game.



The network said if you want to see something gay during the game, tune in to Dancing with the Stars.



CBS rejected a Super Bowl commercial for a gay dating website. Apparently when a quarterback reaches his hands underneath his center’s rear-end, that’s fine. But a guy trying to email another guy – indecent, inappropriate, and totally unacceptable.



Russia unveiled a new $50 million stealth fighter jet today. But nobody saw it.



The Russian fighter is equipped with radar-evading stealth technology, supersonic cruising speed, has a range of 3,430 miles and even parallel parks itself.



The Russian jet is so good at avoiding detection Mayor Mike Bloomberg wants to hold the 9/11 trials in it.

Scientists have determined that a 125-million-year-old dinosaur had ginger-colored feathers. And, remarkably, no gray.


A small Vermont town is worried radiation from its sole nuclear power plant might be seeping into the ground water. The news isn’t all that bad. Ben and Jerry actually released a seasonal batch of new Very Berry Toxic Fall Out Food Flavor.


The town is enraged. All 11 of them.


In his State of the Union, Barack Obama said jobs would be his number one priority. Easy to say when yours is assured for the next three years.


President Obama warned lawmakers not to “run for the hills.” Besides, there’s no jobs there either.


P. Diddy gave his teenage son a $360,000 Maybach for his 16th birthday. How many driveways do you have to shovel to get that?


54 inches of snow fell in northern Arizona last week, blanketing the huge Navajo and Hopi Indian reservations. Basic necessities had to be airlifted in, chief among them food, medicine and whiskey.


The storm dumped so much snow that retirees were actually seen outfitting their golf carts with snow chains.

Toyota is halting production on its Camrys and Corrolas. Gas pedals are getting stuck when pressed causing fatal accidents. On the plus side, sales of helmets and bubble-wrap body suits are skyrocketing.


With millions of Corollas and Camrys off the road, where are people supposed to do all their text messaging?


In President Obama’s State of the Union address tonight, he plans to focus on healthcare, cutting spending, how excited he is for the new Apple Tablet.


In advanced news, President Obama’s yet unveiled State of the Union has already won him another Nobel Prize, a daytime Emmy and a six-day, seven-night all-expenses-paid trip to Disneyland.


2009 was the worst year the airlines have ever had. But it was also the best year for makers of bomb-holding underwear.


Osama Bin Laden released another video praising the Christmas Day underwear bomber. He also plugged his upcoming slacker comedy, “Two Girls, One Cave.”

New Zealand Airlines unveiled beds in its economy-class cabins. So it’s now possible to wake up next to the person you joined the Mile High Club with.


Northwest Airlines, whose pilots overshot an airport by over 180 miles, countered by saying: Beds? Our pilots just need cockpits.


New Zealand Airlines unveiled beds in its economy-class cabins. The beds are formed by raising a metal bar for your feet onto three adjacent seats. So it’s either the world’s least desirable bed. Or the world’s most comfortable footrest.


Playstation 3 has been hacked. George Hotz, who gained notoriety by unlocking the iPhone two years ago, hacked into the “unhackable” game console in just three weeks. Upon hearing this, the Chinese government had two words for him: “You’re hired.”


Hotz is the same hacker who was the first person to unlock the iPhone a couple years ago. Clearly he’s a talented guy. Maybe it’s time he puts his talent to better use. Like by stealing cars.


Holtz can now get the game console to do anything he wants it to. Except get him a date.


A mountain in China that helped inspire the “Avatar” landscape has been named “Mount Hallelujah Avatar.” No word yet which mountain helped inspire “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.”

Ugly day in New York today. Unfortunately for New York Jets fans, it’s raining rain, not confetti.


Could be worse, Jets fans. You could be a Mets fan.


Losing the AFC Championship game feels almost as lousy as knowing you play in New Jersey.


New York’s Civil Court has the highest number of transgender people legally changing their names. Heidi Montag was even spotted there – her name being the last thing she hasn’t changed yet.


President Obama was called for jury duty. Makes sense. His first year has been on trial all year.

GOLDMAN
Bonus season at Goldman Sachs. For its employees the investment bank set aside $17 billion. Or the equivalent of about 531 Conans.


GOLDMAN
Record profits at Goldman Sachs means the investment bank can dole out about $17 billion in bonuses. And that’s just for government employees.


PRAYER
A teenage passenger’s Jewish prayer aboard a US Airways jet forced the plane to make an emergency landing yesterday. Passengers were frightened when they saw him stand up and strap something to his wrists and arms. Asked afterwards what he was praying for, the teen said one word: The Jets.


UNEMPLOYMENT
Unemployment hit 10.6% in NYC yesterday. A ten-year-high. It’s about to go even higher when Conan and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog are added to the rolls.


TRIUMPH
Because of the ugly business over at NBC, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog is ready to walk. He’s actually sitting patiently by the front door.

Millions of people are complaining this morning of nausea, dizziness and headaches. No, it isn’t from watching “Avatar” in 3d. It’s from watching the Democrats in Massachusetts.


With the Democratic loss in Massachusetts, not only has the dream of nationwide health insurance died, it can’t pay the hospital bills either.



A new study argues that the Internet age puts a premium on filtering over thinking. Many experts disagree, but can’t figure out why.



A new study argues that the Internet age puts a premium on focusing over thinking. Experts can’t seem to come to a consensus. They’re too busy updating their facebook status.



According to a German study, an increasing number of men are marrying women with a bigger paycheck and a better education. Completing the role reversal, more men than ever before are staying home to cook, clean, and obsess about their weight.

Bad news for anyone hoping to pick up E. Coli this weekend. Nestle found traces of the deadly bacteria in its Toll House cookie dough. And they’ve halted production. The good news is this: If you’re that determined to get E Coli, there’s always Taco Bell.


Nestle is stopping production on its Toll House cookies now that traces of E-coli were found. The move is meant to protect Americans, and disrupt terrorists who were plotting to cause widespread cramps, vomiting and diarrhea.


Traces of E-coli were found in a sample of Toll House cookie dough. The company is stopping production of the cookies, dashing dreams of terrorists plotting to attack us by our gastrointestinal tract.


Traces of E-coli were found in a sample of Toll House cookie dough. To which customers of Denny’s all said, “Your point being?”


Traces of E-coli were found in a sample of Toll House cookie dough. Talk about some calories you really don’t need.


Traces of E-coli were found in a sample of Toll House cookie dough. That’ll teach the kids to keep their hands out of the cookie jar.


Sarah Palin has a new job on Fox. Expected to deliver short, 30-second analysis pieces, most people are betting she’ll pull out after 15 seconds.


A mother in the UK is being charged with injecting a lethal dose of heroin into her brain-damaged son’s veins. Apparently, his final words were: “Dude, hit me again.”

Delta is raising fees for checked bags. $23 for the first bag, $32 for the second. And $85 if it wants an aisle.


Starbucks just unveiled lower-calorie drinks and snacks today. The skinny cinnamon dulce latte, for example, is just 90 calories. Per sip.



Walmart has started charging customers $.15 per plastic bag. Customers are outraged. Employees are, too. They’re furious that the little plastic bags are actually better compensated than they are.


You pay $.50 for larger bags. Or the equivalent of 18 rolls of toilet paper.


The move is meant to urge customers to reduce their carbon footprint. If Walmart wants to reduce its carbon footprint, maybe the place to start is with its 260,000 square-foot actual footprint.

Turns out the latest bomb isn’t in anyone’s underwear. It’s on NBC at 10 PM.

The new Google phone is generating lots of complaints. First: price. Second: Apparently every time you search the address book for a friend’s phone number, you get six million results.

The new Google phone, Nexus One, is superior in search, battery life, and copyright infringement.

Big fight on the high seas. Japanese whalers allegedly rammed their vessel into an anti-whaling activists' high-tech speedboat during a confrontation in the Southern Ocean. To be fair, the whalers did have their blinker on.


A band of Japanese whalers rammed their boat into a whale last week, killing it in the Southern Ocean. Apparently the whale didn’t see the boat’s warning: “Vessel makes wide right turns. Into whales.”


The world’s only survivor of two atomic bombs died today. Tsutomu Yamaguchi will be remembered for his resilience, his compassion, and his glow-in-the-dark skin.


He was 93 years old. Proof that exposure to atomic blasts is actually better for you than exposure to exercise.
