So it appears some of the cheerleaders from the NBA’s Sacramento Kings may have enjoyed a little extra camera time. The pictures, some of which may be as old as two years, were surfaced from a photobucket account by blog site withleather.com, but you can view the pictures here. The powers that be within the King organization have taken embarrassment over the situation. Owner Gavin Maloof in the Sac Bee…

“We obviously don’t condone that type of behavior. We’ll deal with it internally.”

Sure you don’t condone that behavior, Mr. Maloof. That’s why you’re the North State leader in double-D cash stuffing. Come on now, if anybody really gives a damn about these pictures, they are in need of a serious reality check. How different are these photos from those of a cheerleader’s swimsuit calendar? Four girls sporting G-strings… Ever see a muscle car magazine at Barnes & Noble? What, champagne bottles? Yowza! Woman on woman kiss? Forget about it.

If you happen to be one of the people that takes offense to these photos, crawl back into the time machine, set the dial for 1955, and get outta here.

Two stupidly named Internet companies that offer services that other companies do better and that no one really wants anyway, Imeem and Snocap, joined forces today in the desperate hope that someday a real company will buy them out and shower them with gold and wealth. Terms of the deal were not disclosed but are rumored to be in the low two figures. And that’s including cents.

In this installment of Synthesis Blog’s The Next, I’d like to introduce you to this: The Old. The next innovations will not actually be innovations at all, but rather, revisitations of old ideas. For instance, remember when everything used to be really big? Like computers would take up the whole room and your TV was actually considered furniture? The scientific retrograde minds over at Innovage are cashing into the retro-cool bigiturize trend early with the Jumbo Universal Remote.

Had enough of losing your iPods and cell phones because of their diminutive size? You can simply MAKE EVERYTHING BIGGER? Start with the Jumbo Remote, which is virtually impossible to lose.

Ask Grandma, she’s stoked on the big buttons. No more straining eyesight or digging through the couch for her. Go big. Go Next.

We would buy all the puppies with hearts on them and pass them out on Valentine’s Day! AWWWWWEEEEE!

Did you know that Japanese people love McDonalds?

McDonald’s Holdings Co. (Japan) Ltd. said Thursday its consolidated net profit in 2007 was five times higher than in the previous year, totaling 7.82 billion yen on record high sales of 395.06 billion yen, up 11.1 percent.

In Japan, Ronald McDonald is actually called Donald, probably because he fucking GOES OFF so much harder than the American version that they had to call him something else (not to mention that Japanese folk sometimes have a little bit of trouble with the old Rs and Ls). Not just that, but old Donald McDonald also has a fly ass girlfriend.

AH JAPAN! Where American things that suck go to be cool!
