One of the greatest websites I’ve ever stumbled upon has got to be Kids Give Me Hope (http://kidsgivemehope.blogher.com). I imagine that most of the things posted on the site (incredible stories of innocent, heartwarming things done or said by children) must be true. But even if they are not, you can’t help but be affected by them.
Here are some samples:
NFL Players, sportscasters and Hollywood stars make-up the cast for this spoof.
Funny stuff. Even with that ponce from Twilight in it 
Ok. So it’s not news to anyone that famous people tend to feel sort of entitled. It seems the more they get, the more they want. Now, thanks to the folks at Smoking Gun, we can catch a glimpse into just how childlike and spoiled some famous folks can really be.
So, who is the most spoiled? Well, I’d be lying if I told you I combed the whole list to get some quantitative answer to that, but I can tell you this: Paul McCartney is an amazingly spoiled freak.
Here’s a partial list of the things he requires from a venue where he plays…
I don’t know how durable or practical it would be, but the geek in me really wants to play around with one of these.

This video is a little anti-climactic, but only because it is so intense throughout.
I suggest viewing it in full screen.
I don’t like rap much, but this kid is fly. (I can’t believe I actually wrote that line.)
Ah, yes! Spring is here, and with it, baseball season ahs returned. But nothing is without its unwanted baggage and the arrival of the boys of summer is no different. For though we are but one game into the season, the first vile fan jibe has been launched and, no surprise, it came from the launch pad of a Yankee fan.
So, this that in mind, lets go through an opening weekend list of why it’s dumb to be a Yankee fan.
10. Joe Girardi – Simply stated, grown men with dental braces creep me out. Totally.
9. Jorge Posada – Million and millions earned, still he has not done a thing about those ears. Two words Jorge – COSMETIC SURGERY
8. The New Yankee Stadium – You cannot be brand new and maintain “old tradition”, especially when you charge the same price for a seat as a month’s rent for a Soho one-bedroom apartment.
7. A-Rod – He’s gone from a prima donna Mr. Perfect and all around all-star to an slightly above average third baseman with a positive ‘roid test in his history and a really, really uncomfortable Super Bowl moment, to boot.
6. Derek Jeter – I would have mad respect for this guy if he didn’t consistently let people (A-Rod, Hank Steinbrenner, Brian Cashman, Yankee fans-at-large) crap all over him. If he had a spine he’s be with the Dodgers, Cubs, or Phillies right now.
5. Hank Steinbrenner – What’s worse that being a pompous blowhard who treats people like dirt and leads by fear and intimidation? Being the son of the guy who did that and trying to mimic your dad, but being a really lame copy.
4. Hal Steinbrenner – When you play second fiddle to the likes of Hank, you’re pretty much the dictionary definition of pathetic.
3. No Sergio Mitre – In a long line of questionable pitching moves, when the Yankees traded Mitre on 3/25, they stole my best joke material. “You know things are going good when the Yanks bring out the Mitre! What’s a party without a Mitre?”
2. Suzyn Waldman – There could be an entire list of reasons to dislike this lady, but for our purposes here, we’ll settle for A) Women should not broadcast baseball games, and B) She once cried during a postgame wrap-up. Enough said?
1. Yankee Fans – At the top of every list, the piggish, unknowledgeable fans. If you ask 10 Yankee fans know precious little about anything not related to pinstripes. In fact, I asked 10 Yankee fans who the person was the I referenced in #2 on this list and only one knew, so many know very little about their own team. They have proven to time and again to be classless (example: spitting on Cliff Lee’s wife), hypocritical (embrace of Roger Clemens, Wade Boggs, Tom Gordon, and the way they threw Jeter under the bus this past off-season.) Not to mention, as stated in the first paragraph, they are usually the first to weigh in with bile when the subject of baseball season begins.
