Tiger Woods Will Sext With You Now

Remy Stern · 03/18/10 03:01PM

You've heard about Tiger Woods' very naughty text messages by now, haven't you? We went ahead and built a Tiger clone in the office this afternoon.

[Update: The Tigerbot is a bit overwhelmed right now; apologies if you don't get an immediate response.] It's free, of course.

Twice, actually. Admittedly for about seven minutes in total. But it still counts as the first intrusion in 15 years. Here's how I assumed various guises, bypassed half a dozen checkpoints, and ended up making chitchat with Rupert Murdoch.

Brian Moylan · 03/07/10 11:55PM

Everyone likes watching the Oscars at a party, and we're having our very own! It's going to be here in the comments section. You're invited to come talk trash about Hollywood.

Lance Armstrong Wants to Comfort Your Balls

Daniel Barnum-Swett · 03/05/10 03:11PM

Marketing a revolutionary anti-chaffing product meant expressly for testicles might seem like an awkward endeavor, but not when Lance Armstrong and his single ball are on-board. The cycling champion joins DZ-NUTS' inventor in the struggle to salve all mankind's junk.
