Soccer referee brings the ghey…

I’m not a homophobe or anything, but I would feel like a total coward if I got ejected from a game by this guy. He does have some pretty sick moves though. Homeboy runs backwards like a gazelle.

Oh, awesome: Last week I read about little Moshe Cavalin, the 10-year-old who’s a sophomore in college already… This week I read about a one-year-old dog puppy earning a BACHELOR DEGREE from Ohio Northern University?! RUFKM?

Ada, Ohio (AP) - A well-trained golden retriever will receive a bachelor’s degree from Ohio Northern University today along with the rest of the graduating class.

Zeeke, a 1-year-old dog, will earn his bachelor’s of science degree in canine companionship. The canine has spent thousands of hours training as a Canine Companion dog as part of a senior’s honors project.

ONU President Kendall Baker said he believes this is the first time the university has ever awarded a diploma to an animal.

Zeeke has learned to pull a wheelchair, open doors and retrieve fallen objects. [According to ONU's website, he can also jump through hoola hoops, shake hands, bow, and do "puppy" push-ups. OMG!]

Canine Companions for Independence places service dogs with people in need for free.

What, are we just passing diplomas out like candy now? Is there special dog tuition? A normal dog training school wasn’t good enough for Zeeke? Call me insensitive, but I am kind of insulted. Sorry, Zeeke, I’m sure you’re a good boy. I just have issues with dogs getting degrees. You’re s’posed to be the one that ate my homework, remember?

  • Yes, Fox News is right-slanted (as opposed to left-slanted) sensational bullshit, but Fox Sports is raising the bar for sports journalism. Like in this piece about…getting hit in the nards.

    On this week’s episode of the critically-acclaimed hit series SPORT SCIENCE, host John Brenkus and his team of scientists take a close look at the impact of low blows and examine just how safe protective equipment really is….

    In the one test this season you won’t be able to watch and yet won’t be able to take your eyes off of, a human subject volunteers to get hit in the groin with a tennis ball shot out of a cannon at 50 MPH as he is wired from head to toe so Brenkus’ crew can get every reading available to give an exact scientific answer to why the low blow is so crippling.

  • We get a ton of super dark sludge, thrash, hardcore, etc. around these parts. Don’t get me wrong, I love songs about slitting hooker’s throats more than anyone I know… but sometimes you need something not centered around doom and shit.

    Enter Amy Castle. Words can’t even describe how disgustingly cute this is, so just watch the footage.

    ??????

    AWWWW!!!! With her post modern style choices, epic presence as a front-woman, this up and coming diva is going to shine bright. I heard Dr. Dre is working on the remix…

  • The Big Sleep Live @ Ryan’s

    As part of our continuing effort to turn Synthesis weekly Managing Editor Ryan Prado’s tiny apartment into a legendary music venue, we recently invited Brooklyn-based ultra-spocks The Big Sleep to come up and rock some tunes, and they obliged. Check out the band rocking “Pinkies” above, then check out our YouTube channel for an interview with the band, and clips of all the other badass bands that have played at Ryan’s lately, including Armor for Sleep, Portugal. The Man, The Color Fred, and a shit ton more.
