A company called Ideal Creations unveiled a lens filter for cell phone cameras at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas over the weekend. This filter will block out all visible light, essentially turning your cell phone into an infrared camera. Like you would expect, this is their sales pitch

Our powerful IR Filter will allow your cell phone camera to see though a thin fabric such as blouses, pantes, or swim suits.

Anyone else feel violated? I’m sure all the ladies out there who’s goodies are worth looking at are petrified of the shady guy walking around the streets with his camera after reading this. And for good cause; you shouldn’t be allowed to just passively check out chicks tits without them knowing. Either build up the confidence and go woo her back to your place, or drive down the street and find someone who will show you for money. Cell phone peeping is just weird and creepy.

You can buy this device for 15 bucks from the companies website, but if you are that desperate to see boobs, you probably already knew about this months ago during the initial prototyping stage. And if you don’t know what prototyping is, you probably don’t need this product as you’ve seen it all already. This one is clearly for the nerds…

The “first” interactive sex robot has officially been designed by True Companion, LLC in New Jersey.  The difference is this robot focuses on “conversation” as opposed to life-like movement.  Supposedly.

Story from AP (Courtesy of Yahoo! News):

LAS VEGAS – A New Jersey company says it has developed “the world’s first sex robot,” a life-size rubber doll that’s designed to engage the owner with conversation rather than lifelike movement.

At a demonstration at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas on Saturday, the dark-haired, negligee-clad robot said “I love holding hands with you” when it sensed that its creator touched its hand.

I say that in bed all the time.  No, really.  I’m very sensitive, or so my therapist tells me.

It has touch sensors at strategic locations and can sense when it’s being moved. But it can’t move on its own, not even to turn its head or move its lips. The sound comes out of an internal loudspeaker.

Awww!  Conversation my ass.  The first company to make this kind of robot will probably make a lot more money than these folks in New Jersey.

“The sex robot thing is marketing — it’s really about making a companion,” he said.

A companion?  Isn’t that what you know… people are for???  Wives? Husbands?  Whores? Call me old-fashioned, but I’m gonna “hold hands” with people for right now.

I don't know why she has a moustache. Just roll with it.

Once again, a dumb receiver has opened his mouth in a playoff game, only to help his team get its ass kicked in the end.  Talented receiver Desean Jackson was rendered ineffective for the 3rd straight time this season (his 4th quarter touchdown was in garbage minutes, already down 27 points).  At least Terrell Owens would run to the Cowboys mid-field and shit on their star after doing something.  If you’re going to showboat, at least get it right.

Story From AP (Courtesy of Yahoo! News):

Otherwise the game was uneventful.  The Cowboys played well as they have recently, and the game was virtually over with 15-20 minutes of game time left.

Having lived in Dallas for a year and a half, I already know what’s coming next (besides Super Bowl predictions).  The further vilification of Jessica Simpson.

“See, I told you he was ruining her game!  She’s gone and now Romo’s a winner!!”  Nevermind Romo was relatively inexperienced, or that every quarterback ever has had at least one playoff-choke, or that John Elway didn’t win a Super Bowl until he was practically 40.  Having sex with attractive women obviously makes you less good at sports.  Just look at Tiger Woods.

Sorry.  It’s just too easy lately.

Dude Deadlifts 329 Pounds Then Passes Out – Watch more Funny Videos

On one hand I’m incredibly impressed with the initial lift. 300+ pounds is a solid effort. On the other hand, you can’t pass out 5 seconds after, save that for the locker room. All the chicks he just impressed were immediately turned off. Way to go dude.

Story from ESPN

When I think of USC football, three things come to mind. Coach Carroll, Great Players, and Southern California. If the rumors are true, Carroll inherits a mediocre to average team of NFL players and weather conditions less than ideal in Seattle.

His NFL head coaching resume is barely over .500. He coached the Jets to a 6-10 season and was promptly fired. Hired by New England, he went 27-21 over 3 seasons before getting canned. Compare this to a 97-19 record over a 9 year stretch at USC. From 2002-2008 his team never finished the season outside of the AP Top 5.

So why on Earth would someone leave that situation to presumably resume an NFL career that is simply average? He has the keys to the city of LA, and is every bit as popular there as guys like Kobe Bryant. With no professional football team, his team rules that entire landscape. He has singled-handedly built a dynasty at USC, and could stay around for as long as he wants (aka job security). He can recruit from all over the country, and in the off season can bask in the California sun. Again – WHY WOULD ANYONE LEAVE THIS?

You won't see parties like this in Seattle coach... just saying

Maybe there is something he knows that the rest of us don’t. Maybe he feels he has to try to succeed in the NFL one more time. Whatever the thinking behind his reasoning, one thing is clear; he feels pretty damn confident in his abilities as a football coach to walk away from what I believe is the best job in football – period.

Best of luck Coach Carroll – you made USC the team of the decade, and one of the most fun teams to watch. Just wish you’d reconsider and cement your legacy in SoCal.

#5 – Green Day 21 Guns

A great band at the beginning of the decade, a great band at the end of the decade. Enough said.

#4 – Black Eyed Peas Rock that Body

Say what you want about this group, but at the end of the day they bring the energy. Much better than hearing Daughtry sing a slow song in the middle of times square.

#3 – Jay-Z & Rihanna – Run this Town / Umbrella

If Green Day was great throughout the decade, then Jay-Z was unstoppable. Probably one of the greatest runs of any musician in the last 30 years. The Blueprint 1,2 and now 3 has at least 4 of the top 10 hip hop songs of the decade. Best part about this performance, he just leaves the stage after his solo in Umbrella, you can see him literally walking off the stage. “PEACE!”

#2 – Travis Pastrana Jumps 250+ feet over water

Odds are you missed this regardless of where you celebrated. ESPN isn’t the first thing that comes to mind for new years eve programming, but this was just awesome.

#1 – Justin Beiber

This is the greatest performance I’ve ever seen. I was literally fell off my couch in tears and laughter as I watched this. Whoever came up with the idea for a 13 year old white kid with long hair and a walking boot on his right leg to try and rap is pure genius. This sets the bar incredibly high for the best unintentional comedy video of the new year.

While I cannot verify this, it seemed like cameras caught a glimpse of the one and only Mercury Morris in Jerry Jones’ owners box during the first half of Saturday Nights victory over the previously undefeated Saints. I hope someone with a better image capture can get a clearer picture, but this is all we have at the moment.
