The only time the Florida Marlins can get attention from the national media is when their star player kicks a ball into right field, runs after it lackadaisically, and then publicly criticizes manager Fredi Gonzalez for benching him. Hanley Ramirez did just that, and ESPN backed its trucks into Sun…
The guys of the Fort Lauderdale foursome Howitzer may sound tough as nails on record, churning out a classic style of street punk in the vein of old Doc Marten-footed acts like Sham 69 and Cock Sparrer. But for all the swagger of their shout-along anthems, which boast titles like…

You can add Miami Medical to the heap of South Florida-set shows that pretty much sucked and were quickly canceled. Others include Cane, Good Morning Miami, South Beach, Grapevine, Invasion, Karen Sisco, Odd Man Out, Wiseguy, and probably a few dozen other shows no one remembers.CBS has put an end…
Miami’s sexiest convention, Exxxotica, is in town. And it’s not just about nipple tassels and vibrators. The event is surprisingly more professional than you’d think. Apparently the industry is really all about business — including sales of 3D pornography and a device called the Spankie (the Snuggie’s far more sexually…

Set in the Sinudom…
