The truth is out there…

I know we have been heavy on the sports bits lately, but this is the last one. We swear. Seriously. Unless someone else gets gangbanged… and it involves beer-teared cheerleaders going down on each other… on a boat… and someone checks the bag and finds Dub-C’s wee-wee.

Shock and … awesome?

The Sun-Times’ Richard Roeper investigates the shit out of the shocker, that naughty little symbol of youthful exuberance and simultaneous anal-vaginal finger-banging that is “sweeping the nation.”
All over the Web, there are photos of people who were born after 1980, doing the Shocker.
