My Kind of Protest: Soccer Players Dropping Drawers

Colleen Kane — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 22:02:00 GMT

Although I hate sports, I got into the European football matches during their championship matches last summer while traveling abroad. It didn't hurt that a lot of the players were easy on the eyes and constantly showing a little well-toned leg.

In the case of the Spanish soccer team El Galactico Pegoso, they're not afraid to show a little more leg and Speedo-size underwear, either. As you'll see in this local news coverage of the incident, the team dropped trou as a protest* for not getting paid.

This lineup isn't quite as fetching as some from last summer, but you get the idea.

*This protest style would not have looked quite as good if it were used for last winter's writer's strike.

This Mom threw such a hardcore kegger for her son and his friends that the cops found the air at her residence was running a .03 alcohol level.

The members of the Atlanta band The Black Lips are lucky to not be rotting in an Indian prison.

The truth about Joaquin Phoenix should have been obvious to everyone: he was in character for a mockumentary by Casey Affleck.

Buy an LCD TV instead of a plasma one, if you care about the environment.

The post office is considering cutting one day of service if its budgetary demands go unmet. It's time Netflix started its own shipping company and took over the world...

The A-Team really is going to be a movie. Boycott all remakes!

Someone should do a 90-minute documentary on what goes on when these cops strike for an hour-and-a-half.

Let's all get jobs at Canon in Japan so we can receive work-sanctioned early release for sex.

And Meryl Streep told Alec Baldwin she'll do 30 Rock, yay!

Writers Strike Inadvertently Provokes Return of Prime Time Spandex

Over at Jossip, they're tallying up the TV shows that have stopped production owing to the Writers Strike, and perhaps more importantly, they're giving a preview of the "scriptless" televisual entertainments that the networks will be offering up in their place. Among them: a Dennis Miller gameshow, a mother-daughter beauty pageant contest, and the return of American Gladiators.

OK, we're not a big-shot producers or anything, but seriously: we surrender. Just tell us where to send the checks... er... anyway we can use our Amazon card?
