  1. Mojitos of shame: California fines marketers of gas-powered 'Party Blender'

    Up to Speed
    What kind of fascist, totalitarian Obama-nation is this? A man can't even run his two-stroke, dirty-filthy, ear-splitting, jacked-to-the-max chain-saw engine blender -- with handlebars, no less -- on the back of his pickup at football games? Land of the...

  2. Teel Time: Te'o girlfriend hoax reminds of Texas imposter before Sugar Bowl against Virginia Tech

    No matter what or whom you believe, the Manti Te’o girlfriend hoax that unraveled Wednesday ranks among college football’s most bizarre stories ever. And for those of us who covered Virginia Tech’s 1995 Sugar Bowl against Texas, it...

  3. Hey, I'll tell you my Max if you tell me yours

    THERE are certain measurements that define us as men. Yes, there's that one. Then there's the maximum amount of weight you can raise in a bench press in a single stroke, known to red-faced, horizontally herniating gym rats everywhere as the "Max" -- as in, "What's your Max?"

  4. The Alfa Romeo MiTo finally lives up to the fantasy

    Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
    Where are the hot-cool small cars, the drive-all-night cars, the panties-on-the-mirror cars? Where they've always been: In Europe. Here's a look at two of them: The Alfa Romeo MiTo and the Fiat 500. Milan, Italy For a generation of American Alfisti, the...

  5. Rumble Seat: 2009 Nissan GT-R

    I know what you want from me. You think I'm just your little word slut, that I'm here just to arouse you with steamy descriptions of the new and instantly legendary <a href="http://topics.latimes.com/autos/nissan">Nissan</a> GT-R. You want me to parade around in frilly verbiage, like: "The acceleration of the twin-turbo, all-wheel-drive, 480-hp GT-R is much like a 50-yard field goal in the NFL, wherein your butt is the football." Sigh. I feel so used.

  6. That's so American

    It doesn't surprise me that, after 14 years of stalking the American pickup market, Toyota has finally unleashed full-size pickup hell with its monstrous Toyota Tundra, a truck that goes nose to nose with big-ugly domestics Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado. Now that I have driven the redesigned 2007 Toyota Tundra -- in its most gawdamighty-large configuration, the CrewMax 4X4 SR5 with the 5.7-liter V8 -- I can't even raise an eyebrow. It's exactly what I thought it would be: a half-earnest, half-mocking tribute to the American pickup truck, bigger and saccharine-sweeter than its competitors, with major-league engineering (1,590-pound payload capacity in 4x4 trim) and focus-group features galore, including half a dozen of the biggest cup holders this side of the NFL.

  7. Toyota builds trucks like a big guy

    Raleigh, N.C. &#8212; IT doesn't surprise me that, after 14 years of stalking the American pickup market, Toyota has finally unleashed full-size pickup hell with its monstrous Toyota Tundra, a truck that goes nose to nose with big-ugly domestics Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado.

  8. Riding high

    Sun Staff
    In a postseason defined by defense, the Ravens struck an ominous pose yesterday. Super Bowl contender. On the heels of a 21-3 wild-card dismantling of the Denver Broncos, the Ravens suddenly look like a very tough team to beat. Maybe even the team to...

  9. 'Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman' by Jon Krakauer

    Pat Tillman, unlikely football hero and unlikelier warrior, went to Afghanistan and got accidentally wasted by the men in his own Ranger platoon. It happens. Among the many shadows Jon Krakauer illuminates in his compelling and dispiriting book, "Where Men Win Glory," is the commonness of fratricide in high-tech warfare. Thus the military's bleak poetry of misadventure: FUBAR, SNAFU, Charlie-Fox.

  10. "Save the Boobs": Breast Cancer Ad Raising Eyebrows

    October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and a new crop of public service announcements leverage male lechery to an astonishing degree. The latest and greatest is a spot called "Save the Boobs," from the Rethink Breast Cancer charity, in which a voluptuous young woman in a white bikini walks into a pool party scene. Strip-club music kicks in and the camera slow-mo's her fleshy assets while the partygoers attempt to pick their jaws up off the ground. No discreet, quick-cut editing here. The camera stares, unblinking, unashamed, at the woman's figure.
