| Posted: 19 Mar 2012 11:29 AM PDT During the second intermission at the Senators-Maple Leafs matchup this past Saturday, smitten Senators supporter Christina proposed to her girlfriend Alicia, a Leafs-lover, in the middle of the ice rink, as the Scotiabank Place crowd went wild. Turns out the homophobes were right: Same-sex marriage is a slippery slope. A Sens fan marrying a Leafs fan? Abomination.

| Controversial TSA Pat-Down of the Day Posted: 19 Mar 2012 10:17 AM PDT This footage of a toddler in a body cast and wheelchair being frisked by a TSA agent was uploaded over the weekend by the boy’s father, Matt Dubiel. Dubiel, co-owner of Chicago-based alternative radio station Q101, says in the description that he and his family were traveling to Disney World by way of O’Hare International Airport. During the pat-down, three-year-old Rocco was “physically trembling with fear,” according to Dubiel. “I was told I could NOT touch him or come near him during this process,” he writes in one of the video’s captions. “Instead we had to pretend this was ‘ok’ so he didn’t panic.” One can only hope that in the two years since this footage was recorded, the TSA has overhauled its “toddler pat-down” policy the exclude patting down toddlers. I am certain we will hear the official excuse explanation from The TSA Blog before long. [bi.] Tagged: The Terrorists Won, TSA Pat Down         |

The new Tebowing is… Manning? ESPN is reporting that Peyton Manning — newly released from the Indianapolis Colts — is engaged in “intensified contract negotiations” with the Denver Broncos to replace Tim Tebow as the team’s quarterback. According to ESPN’s sources, the Broncos will attempt to trade Tebow once the deal with Manning is finalized, which only an “unforeseen significant obstacle” would prevent at this point.

| What Did I Just Watch of the Day Posted: 19 Mar 2012 08:54 AM PDT
In case you were wondering, casino exec is still livin de life, but he’s tired of livin it alone. So he’s teamed up with his cousin Stan, and together they plan to put America’s economy back on track. How? I’m not entirely sure, but I think it involves threatening to keep producing these godawful rap videos until all debts are forgiven. No doubt we’ll be sipping Cristal by the supermodel hot tub this time next Tuesday. [gawker.] Tagged: A. Samuels, Everybody Needs A Hobby, Livin De Life, Stan's Plan, what did I just watch         |
