"TED, the annual gathering of the most pretentious people from the fields of technology, entertainment, and design, just got punk'd. Microsoft chairman Bill Gates released a swarm of mosquitos into the crowd.
Ending malaria is a particular passion of Gates's, whose Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has spent millions fighting the disease. But he apparently didn't feel like TED attendees were taking the threat seriously. "Not only poor people should experience this," Gates said as he let the bugs loose on his audience, according to Facebook manager Dave Morin. (eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and Twitter CEO Ev Williams confirm the report.) "
Just to drive his point home, he unleashed a container full of mosquitoes into the hall.
He assures the audience that the mosquitoes he brought are not infected with malaria. With Microsoft's track record, I would be the first one bolting for the door.
Most of you probably think I am going to point to this metrosexual abomination as the new low for the SuperFans.
Nope, not by a long shot.
Although, yes - this "bromance" article does sum up nicely the douchebaggery that takes place up at Chestnut Hill, and not to mention violating every single man law in the books.
It's just too easy. Hey, maybe that's just Boston College's strategy - go completely over the top in their douchebaggery - and people will just get tired of making fun of them.
I know a lot of you are shrugging your shoulders and say "so? Big deal". Well, let me put it to you in terms you can understand. This is as if the Eagles baseball team had recruited Bucky Dent's kid or the basketball team with Jabbar's kid - and that would only be about half as bad as this.
Why? becuase Boston fans hated Jabbar and Dent for the games they won due to their skill (okay, not so much with Dent), but Ulf is hated because he ended the career of a Bruins Hall of Fame player - not with his game skills - but with cheap hits and dirty plays. Imagine if you will, it's as if the Patriots didn't get to the Super Bowl last year because someone took out Tom Brady with a cheap shot right before the half time of the AFC Championship; and ended the Patriots chances of making history with a dirty hit. (Well, almost like that - we all know the Pats' chances were ended by the football Gods because they cheated)
The initial injury to Cam Neely came during game 3 of the Conference Finals, when the Bruins were up two games to none against the Penguins. Here we were, after several years of near misses and tough battles - the Big Bad Bruins were finally beating Montreal on a regular basis in the playoffs, cruising along; the Edmonton Oilers' dynasty appeared to be finished. The B's were the team to beat, this was our year. We're up two games to nil, we got this.
Then this crap happened:
Cam was never 100% after that. We lost the game and the momentum. Went on to lose 3 more in a row and gave away the series. Ulf and the Penguins went on to won the Cup that year, and the next. Neely ended up not playing hockey until 1993 and retired in 1996 due to complications from injuries suffered during that series.
I will have my Neely jersey on for the Beanpot game next year.

Really? Meat vs. Tofu? and the just to stack the deck even further, the toy maker has given the Tofu a French honorific.
Maybe I am just bit biased, and a little upset at accidentally buying heavily waterlogged grilled tofu yesterday at the pay-by-weight salad bar (I thought they were chicken, they even had those Burger King flame broiled lines on them) - Bacon wins in a TKO in 87 seconds.
Oh, and be sure to check out the other bacon themed (and flavored) products while you are on that page.
Immediately after Larry Fitzgerald scored the 64 yard touchdown for the Cardinals, Comcast viewers in the Tucson area were treated to a 30 second clip of porn (Extremely NSFW).
The 30 second clip was taken from Club Jenna, and featured mostly male frontal nudity; which undoubtedly led to a lot of "Ha Ha" and awkward moments in Tucson last night as the 5 male Cardinals fans are jumping up and down celebrating the TD - only to turn around and realized they are cheering for penis.
In addition to getting rich by betting against Big Q's "Lock of the Day", the sports betting world almost had another guarantee win.
This easy money came to us in the form of a 2009 Superbowl Prop bet via Bodog (don't bother looking for it - they have since taken it off the board), where we could have bet on which team's cheerleaders will appear on camera more often.
Why is this bet the lock of the century? The Pittsburgh Steelers do not have cheerleaders. They had been disbanded in 1970, which further proves that Pennsylvania sports fans are homosexuals (not that there is anything wrong with that).
Michael Irvin and Spike TV are looking for guys who think they can play either WR or DB! This is for an upcoming reality competition show. The winner will be awarded a coveted spot on the Dallas Cowboys training camp roster!
Looking for elite football athletes whose careers ended on terms other than their own. Did family, friends, finances or an injury prevent you from achieving your lifelong goal of becoming a pro football player? Kurt Warner was bagging groceries before he became a two-time league MVP and Super Bowl Champion. Vince Papale was tending bar before he walked on the Philadelphia Eagles. Could you be the next professional football player to come out of nowhere?
This is a REAL opportunity to make a lifelong dream a reality.
I noticed "lack of size, ability, and or skill" was not listed as a reason why I am not a professional football player. Nor are the positions of kickers, punters, or general members of strip club posse/entourage listed.
Just to drive his point home, he unleashed a container full of mosquitoes into the hall.
