The Best of Cops



Taking clips of the most idiotic people, absurd dialogue, and random behavior from the TV show COPS, and whittling those clips down to tiny kernels of comedy.

Ronaldinho 09/10




Just a reminder of what we are missing out this World Cup. As I watched Kaka struggled against North Korea, I thought how great would it been if Ronaldinho came on the field.

PeliCAN T-Shirt





Threadless members Frederik Wepener and Ross Zietz have collaborated on PeliCAN, a tee design for a good cause: all proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Gulf Restoration Network.

As of this writing, there is still no end to be seen to the Gulf oil spill. And as we all watch the gallons of oil spilling into the water and onto land, we can't help but wonder what we can do to help. The result is this design, peliCAN, which is intended to add a bit of hope to an otherwise devastating situation.

Threadless is donating all proceeds from the sale of this tee to the Gulf Restoration Network, a 15 year old environmental non-profit organization committed to uniting and empowering people to protect and restore the natural resources of the Gulf Region for future generations. They're the only environmental organization working Gulf-wide, and since the first days of BP's oil drilling disaster, they've provided independent monitoring and advocacy focused on holding BP accountable and ensuring an effective and transparent response to the crisis. Take action, stay informed, and donate to these efforts here.

"PeliCAN" may only make a small dent in the aid that goes to the Gulf Coast area, but they also hope it will keep public focus on one of the biggest ecological disasters of our time, and inspire others to help too. Both Ross and Frederik have donated their standard designer payment to the cause as well.

BP's oil drilling disaster continues to wreak havoc on coastal communities and the environment.

Let's get a T-Shirt!

Screamers, schoolboy errors & thrashings

As the World Cup kicks into matchday 4, there is already so much controversy only 3 days into. Some of it could be ignorance, some not. Mexico vs S. Africa was a good game that couldve use a few more goals. Regardless, I do not understand the call that ruled Carlos Vela offsides? We've argued all weekend. Yes, there is a ruling. Till that day, I had not heard about it or seen it enforced. Have I been in a hole? I does not make much sense, but Mexico has to live with it. France really does have issues. The scoreline proved that. I thought it was all talk. But when Anelka, Ribery, Gourcuff and Henry failed to looks dangerous on goal. Then they deserve to be second-fiddle to Diego Forlan. Who looked birlliant, at times. He deserved a goal. Is it time for Domenech to be fired? Who chooses to leave Trezeguet out of a team because of his horoscope sign. That's not weird.

As a Man Utd supporter, I am glad to see Park Ji-Sung scoring. If we can only get him to do that more often an Old Trafford. Great Goal. Greece looked liked a washed-up pub team. I need to look into becoming a citizen of Greece. So there is a chance to go pro. Argentina looked as dangerous as ever. Their counter-attacks looked like the Arsenal team with Henry and Bergkamp. The best player of that game was not someone from Argentina, surprisingly. Enyeama. If it wasn't for this man, the scoreline would've matched the Germany score. The saves he pulled out of his hAt, were amazing. Well done, man!

My initial thought when U.S. got scored on in the first minutes, was here we go. U.S. proved wrong. They stuck it out, and scrapped a goal at Robert Green's expense. All England thought they would be doing the Yankee Doodle on the U.S., instead it was a Yankee doodoo. What a: schoolboy error, blunder, humilitiating clanger, at least BP its not the only one leaking. Green needs to be axed. I'm sorry, he plays at West Ham United who barely survived the premier league. Hart is a far better keeper, with more to prove than Green. West Ham got scored on 66(4th from bottom) vs Birmingham's (9th place) 42. You be the judge.

Germany thrashed Australia. Sorry, Adrian. I know, my turn is coming up Wednesday morning at 7:30. Why is it that Podolski always checks in every World Cup? And what a screamer of a shot. That boy has got a rocket. His goal and S. Africa's Tshabalala were one of the nicest so far in my opinion. I must also add Heinze's diving header. Yes, he was unmarked. It had some fire behind it, though. Wow.

I wait for Honduras' opener vs Chile with much anticipation. And Group G!!!
Like Mortal Kombat, it's going to be, "Toasty!"

Check the World Cup edition of "The Special One."

And remember, be champions!
