Dark Tower is going to be an HBO series. maybe. I've never read the Dark Tower books but I have read a few of the comics and they were pretty cool. I'm looking forward to watching this show a year after it comes out on DVD, because I'm cheap.

Steve Jobs Biography hints at apple tv. "It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it" Finally cracked what? The TV? If you need a simpler TV you're an idiot. TV's aren't that hard to figure out.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have inappropriate jerseys. Oh I see what you did here Justin. Very clever.

A Stormtrooper's family album. OMG this is so cute.. reminds me of the the time I used to spend with my son before I bought Battlefield 3 this afternoon..

just kidding, Logan.. kind of

Kevin Smith's Fans need a name. So far my favorites are the Ben Afflecks and The People Who Always Look Like They’re Going To Comic Con.

The Ego has landed. A real interesting article from an Irish newspaper about Robbie Keane's move to the US. Spoilers, they don't think much of the MLS.

64 Slices of American cheese and other meals from the Simpsons. Sadly one of the other 4 meals was not a Moon Waffle. Still 64 slices of cheese.. man that's gross.

I Judge you when you wear that Jersey. I can't believe I didn't write this. Not just cause soccer jersey's are totally in my wheelhouse but I couldn't agree more with the judgments here.

The New USMNT kit has no shorts

The USSF premired the new World Cup home jerseys for Los Gringos today, which was boring. Playboy decided to premiere the new World Cup jerseys with a Playboy Playmate, which was much less boring.

The new Jerseys are the "most environmentally-friendly jerseys ever made", made entirely from recycled polyester. Each Jersey has up to 200 tiny laser cut holes, creating ventilation zones on each side of the jersey, on the waistband and near the base of spine to enhance breathability. I've checked the website a couple time and so far I have yet to find the half shirt version shown above. I'm starting to believe Playboy may have doctored the jersey, which is a shame because I would totally pay money to see Clint Dempsey wear one of those.

World Cup 2010 Kit Review (Part 2)

With less than 100 days to the World Cup I thought it was a good time to take a look at what the participating teams would be wearing this year. As we all know, Soccer is 90 percent pageantry. Jersey Awesomeness is actually the 7th tie breaker in group play, just before the teams draw lots (look it up, it could happen)

Spain
First impression: Teal, really?
Help or Hurt their chance of Victory: I think the look on the players faces says it all.
Will I buy one: No chance


USA
First impression: At least it's not Denim
Help or Hurt their chance of Victory: It won't matter if Jonathan Bornstein is playing
Will I buy one: USA USA USA!!


Germany
First impression: Adidas delivers again
Help or Hurt their chance of Victory: Helps. Ze Germans won't even have to change after the game. They'll be able to take this kit from the pitch straight to the The Reeperbahn in Hamburg.
Will I buy one: Achtung Baby!


Cameroon
First impression: Do they only come in Taylor Twellman size?
Help or Hurt their chance of Victory: It's a Push. What the Cameroon team will gain in aerodynamics they'll lose by restricting blood flow.
Will I buy one: Maybe after a few hundred sit-ups


Serbia
First impression: YAWN...
Help or Hurt their chance of Victory: Helps. The Serbians only have one basic strategy going into the World Cup. Bore the other teams to sleep.
Will I buy one: huh, what? I fell asleep there for a sec.


Ghana
First impression: all the Puma Jerseys are identical
Help or Hurt their chance of Victory: Seriously I'm not reviewing any more of the African teams.
Will I buy one: Maybe, if I can find an Essien one.


Brasil
First impression: Did Robinho really make the team?
Help or Hurt their chance of Victory: Hurts. With all those dots on the jerseys the Coaches aren't going to see all the food crumbs on Ronaldinho's stomach. How long do we have to wait for a younger Portuguese Ronaldinho so we can start calling him the fat Ronaldinho? Just kidding... no chance he makes the team.
Will I buy one: No, Brasil shirts are played out.

World Cup 2010 Kit Review (Part 1)

With less than 100 days to the World Cup I thought it was a good time to take a look at what the participating teams would be wearing this year. As we all know, Soccer is 90 percent pageantry. Jersey Awesomeness is actually the 7th tie breaker in group play, just before the teams draw lots (look it up, it could happen)


Italy
First impression: A belt buckle, BWAHAHAHA!
Help or Hurt their chance of Victory: Helps. Italy won the WC in 2006 wearing essentially a white dickie, a belt buckle can only increase their resolve.
Will I buy one: Hells no


France
First impression: Gourcuff is dreamy...
Help or Hurt their chance of Victory: It's a push. The Kit may be awesome but Raymond Domenech is still their coach. No ammount of pinstriping is going to cover that up.
Will I buy one: In a heartbeat.. if it wasn't French


Australia
First impression: What is this Rugby?
Help or Hurt their chance of Victory: Helps. Last World cup the socceroos looked so much like Brasil that Robinho played 60 minutes for them. Wait, maybe this new kit hurts.
Will I buy one: Not even if Tim Cahill came with it


Honduras
First impression: Girls!
Help or Hurt their chance of Victory: Hurts. Don't ever bring your WAGS to the World Cup. Just making a women's version of your jersey is asking for trouble.
Will I buy one: Maybe, but only to stick it to El Salvador


Portugal
First impression: Rally Stripes, awesome!
Help or Hurt their chance of Victory: Helps. Any team that sets out to look more like a Lancia Stratos clearly has all it's ducks in a row.
Will I buy one: Yes, if I can find one in long sleeves


Slovenia
First impression: Charlie Brown was Slovenian?
Help or Hurt their chance of Victory: Helps. Not only does the green blend in with the pitch, the jagged stripe will confuse help the linesman. This team will never get called offsides.
Will I buy one: Maybe as a joke


Denmark
First impression: I can see a sailboat!
Help or Hurt their chance of Victory: Hurts. Prolonged exposure to this 3D puzzle mess is sure to cause seizures and migraines.
Will I buy one: Not with my astigmatism


South Korea
First impression: South Korea? this is north Korea right?
Help or Hurt their chance of Victory: Hurts. After being mistaken for the communist Korea by the host nation they'll find themselves weakened by a diet of gruel and lead tainted water.
Will I buy one: No Chance

That Eagle is the size of a Lion!

So Puma has unveiled the dreaded "universal 3rd kit" for all the African teams headed to the Africa Cup of Nations and the World Cup this summer. It might be hard to tell from the size of the picture, but the kits are supposed to look dirty. No word on if they're supposed to look painted on.

Look for these kits on sale for 29.99 in the back of Eurosport catalogs everywhere this fall.

Soccer Jerseys > Lingerie
