Kate Upton is the Sports Illustrated 2012 Swimsuit Issue Cover Girl
Here to make the woman you spent your Valentine’s Day dollars on look like dog shit by comparison is Kate Upton, who will be on the cover of 2012’s Sports […]
For those of you unaware of Jeremy Lin (perhaps you’re a pseudo-intellectual dandy who fancies himself above sports or a woman attractive enough to not have to pretend to care about them), he’s been the talk of the NBA for the past two weeks. And you can cite a variety of reasons for that: He’s an undrafted free agent who came out of nowhere to play like an all-star.

I don’t care anymore about the ridiculous NBA after that little douche-fit tantrum they through before the season. That being said I am enjoying watching the multiple YT videos with ignorant big T’ed golddiggers trying to scam a date with him “because they like dating black people.”

There’s one stereotype that Yao dispelled long before Lin ever set foot on an NBA court: even Asians dunk better than white guys. Throw it down, grasshopper!
