Bodypaint Babe Bonanza: American Sport Edition
As we all know, the Europeans love their body painted babes. (And we love them, too!) It seems like every chance they get, they’re stripping down a hot chick to slather her in their team’s favorite colors. Here in America, however, this most excellent trend is just catching on. So to help get things rolling, let us present to you, Bodypaint Babe Bonanza: American Sport Edition!

Quidditch: Coming to a Campus Near You
Clearly the fact that there have been six Harry Potter movies released, (two more in the making) seven books out in stores, and an upcoming theme park in Orlando, doesn’t quite express the extent of society’s obsession with the magic wizardly world. Because college Quidditch (yes, the broomstick-riding sport) is on the rise.
With over 200 colleges expressing their interest in the sport, including Princeton, U-Mass-Amherst and Vassar College, Quidditch is spreading like wildfire. It even has its own site, (for all you nerds out there) where you can have access to the latest Quidditch news and history of the sport.
Similar to soccer, the players try and get the ball, or Quaffle that is, into the opposing goal, except they try and do so while riding around on a broomstick…on the ground.
Sounds…er…awesome.
I don’t quite understand the whole thing. First, riding around on broomsticks is not only ridiculous, but it’s gotta be uncomfortable, right? And what if you get tackled? How does a broomstick shoved between your legs react in a situation like that?
And, more importantly, isn’t the whole point of Quidditch the flying part? I mean, isn’t College Quidditch just soccer…with brooms?
Apparently I’m missing something, because the sport has been around in the real world for four years, and is only getting more and more popular. I get the Harry Potter obsession, but come on, people. This is just absurd.

World’s Awesomest Waterslide Stunt
We are beyond skeptical that this is real, but unless we’re being lied to by the Euro who attempted it (which is quite likely) this really happened. And if so, bravo on the awesomeness. Not only did this dude build the world’s biggest waterslide, he also pulled off the world’s awesomest waterslide stunt. That’s more than most men accomplish in a lifetime.

The Dangers of Soccer
Soccer (known almost everywhere else as Football) is the world’s most popular sport, yet here in the States its popularity is largely limited to Middle and High School students. Perhaps these videos can teach us why.
This is a glorious example of the grace and majesty a well played game can take, and the danger out there for the unsuspecting player
The unexpected can occur even during a slow point in the game.
The danger can come from anywhere, even when you are at practice.
Experience the visual impact, if not the stinging cheek, of a full-on impact.
Remember, parents and coaches, it is our duty to teach or children courage in the face of the danger of the soccer field.
