Overnight Open Thread

Good evening M&Ms.

So You Want to Watch the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics Online
Okay so you're now a rabid curling fan and want to watch it in real time. Well here's a guide to watching events the 'official' way which probably works best for those morons not in the US as foreign networks are much more open than NBC in what they show online. But frankly most of these sites including NBC's are a real PITA to register for and use and often their streams don't work anyway.

So here's a list of some un-official sites that offer live video of Olympic events - ATDHE and Justin.tv seem to offer a lot of programs not just sports.

And finally there's MyP2P which has streams for pretty much any sport event you'd ever want to watch from the Winter Olympics to Japanese baseball to European soccer to Australian rugby. Note that some of the higher quality streams require third-party P2P software to access. I've used these before and so far haven't had any malware, virus, or security issues with them but caveat user applies.

Twilight's Robert Patinson doesn't like vajayjays

I really hate vaginas. I'm allergic to vagina. But I can't say I had no idea, because it was a 12-hour shoot, so you kind of get the picture that these women are going to stay naked after, like, five or six hours. But I wasn't exactly prepared.
