Priest Accidentally Auto-Plays Gay Porn During CCD

Gizmodo - Father Martin McVeigh was giving a talk to 26 parents and one 8-year-old kid when computer disaster struck. He connected his USB drive into a PC to start his Powerpoint presentation and, instead of the word of God, a hardcore gay porn slideshow started—thanks to Windows' autoplay. Some parents—who were there to hear McVeigh talk about First Communion—were angry. Others were in shock. Just like McVeigh. He was so embarrassed that, according to witnesses, unplugged the USB drive and walked out of the room without uttering a single word. Later he declared to the press:...Well, Father, I think there's little space for innuendo after showing gay porn in church. McVeigh, however, claims there is an explanation for all this. The Archdiocese of Armagh, where the parish belongs, called the police and gave them the USB stick for inspection. The police told them there was no crime in gay porn and the drive didn't contain any pedophilia. It was just normal gay porn.

All kidding aside, this couldn't happen when I was in CCD? Not a week went by, from like 1st grade through 10th grade that I didn't gripe, bitch, moan, and even go dead weight on my parents when they tried to drag me to CCD. I absolutely hated it.  I'm already going to school 5 days a week to learn about useful stuff, do I really need to go kill an extra hour Sunday morning or after school during the week as well? It's borderline cruel and unusual. And yes, this would have been extremely tough to process as an 8 year old, I think the tradeoff of never having to go to CCD again would have been pretty fair. 

You know who really got the short end of the stick here (aside from the children), the cops. 

Imagine this? Getting a call from your local Cardinal asking you to come down and have a gay porn viewing session with them? You've got to assume that's an April Fools Joke, right? And how quickly do you think they called up the rookie at home and asked him to go down there and investigate, probably told him it's a hot case, could be his big break. 

Boston University News Paper Apologizes for Lamest Prank in History of Pranks

Student paper apologizes for April Fool rape spoof : MyFoxBOSTON.com

BOSTON – Boston University's independent student newspaper, The Daily Free Press, is apologizing for an April Fools' spoof of rape and drugs. The Boston Globe reported Monday's print-only "Disney Free Press" led with "seven frat dwarves" arrested for drugging and sexually assaulting a female student, "the fairest of them all," and a picture of Snow White's appletini with a date-rape drug. Students blasted the paper on social networks. BU spokesman Tom Testa said the university has no control over the content and looks forward to reading an apology it promised.

Wow, look out for these crazy kids out in BU, huh? What a prank! I mean, this is just the prank to end all pranks, everyone else should just give up, end pranking all together from this day forth, because these guys nailed it. The Seven Frat Dwarves? These guys are brilliant!

In reality the only thing worse than this "prank" is the reaction to it...guys, it's the student fucking newspaper. No one reads that.  You know when I used to read the student newspaper in college? When I had that awkward hour and a half between classes and didn't want to walk back to my room. I'd grab the student newspaper, head to the library, set my phone alarm, read the first few paragraphs, and I'd be sleeping like a baby. It was guaranteed to lull me to sleep, like a warm glass of milk or 10 beers. 

My point is, like 10 people would have read this thing if no one had brought it to the reporters. And those 10 people probably would have just been contributors to the newspaper since they're the only people who give a shit to begin with. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it was this editor woman who brought this paper to the real press in a misguided attempt to generate some interest in their usually bland coverage of cafeteria menus and student union meetings. It's a non-issue, or at least it should have been.

Chalk another one up for the PC police.

Our Late Gambling Guru's November Kentucky/Kansas Predictions

And You Want to be My Latex Salesman.

A little background, this was during the November 15th match up between Kentucky and Kansas, apparently the Maestro wasn't impressed with either squad, Spot on I'd say.

To be fair anyone who followed my March Madness brackets presumably thinks I'm some kind of blogging idiot savant after the bracket I put out there...What a freaking disaster. Oh well, chalk another one up.

Congrats to Coach Calipari, Even If It's 16 Years Later than I Would Have Liked

Congrats John, just like I said last week, I'll go to my grave rooting for you. I will admit it was a tad bittersweet watching you win in Kentucky though. Moving on to bigger and better things has been great for your career, but a large part of me wishes you'd just stayed here and built a superpower out in Amherst.  You were ours, you were a difference maker, you could have been the king here as well...and I think that means a little more than some people think.

In Kentucky, whoever the current head coach of the Wildcats is (assuming its not Tubby Smith) is king. It's just a given, the crown comes with the position. In Mass? College Basketball is an afterthought, has been since the mid-90's. There were a couple of decent BC teams, but no one roots for BC who didn't go there or isn't Irish and over the age of 55.

But UMass? UMass could have been it, a team the whole state, hell even NH and Maine too, could have gotten behind. But you left, and I'm glad you've finally won, and I'm fortunate to have the memories of the guys above, and I'm especially glad for this little piece of history:
