Everyone’s favorite crazy Miami-based ad agency, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, has done a hell of a job selling Americans cheap dead cow meat patties and oily potato slices through its work for Burger King.

Four years ago, the 400 janitors who keep the University of Miami’s campus clean went on a lengthy hunger strike and inspired two months of student protests in a fierce battle to earn a fair living wage. Looks like round two might be right around the corner.The janitors are poised…
The goal of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh’s unholy Heat trinity was, quite simply, rings. But they’ll have to wait until the postseason for their first shot at a championship. Bosh’s girlfriend, Adrienne Williams, didn’t have to wait so long for her ring. The player’s rep has confirmed that he…
We’re of two theories about Charlie Crist’s latest string of “clarifications” (or flip-flops) on some positions: (1) The guy doesn’t know what he actually believes and is being as vague as possible to attract as many voters as possible. (2) He has always personally held these positions, altered them to…
Slapping Kat Stacks has become America’s new national pastime. Now Denver Nuggets basketball star Carmelo Anthony apparently wants in on the action.

The Independent Florida Alligator, the fine student paper of the University of Florida, decided that the phrase “sorority girl” and “ho” are pretty much interchangeable in their lead story on Wednesday.

We don’t think anyone can accuse Fidel Castro of ever being a clear minded, rational guy, but in his old age he’s apparently becoming quite the crazy conspiracy theorist. First there were his rumblings about the Bilderberg Group, and now he thinks that Osama bin Laden is actually a CIA…
Lawton “Bud” Chiles III, son of the last Democrat to hold the Governor’s office in Florida, is running for Governor as an independent. Why exactly? No one is sure. He was costing along getting double digit support in some polls, possibly thanks to name recognition, but hasn’t had much of…
The starting squad for your Miami Dolphins has not been able to catch a break with the all the rain during the first two pre-season games. Against the Buccaneers two weeks ago, a rainstorm created a quagmire in Sun Life Stadium. Last week, the foul weather followed them up to…

On Tuesday, we sized up Dwyane Wade’s acting ability based on his latest commercial for Gatorade’s G Series. Well, Men’s Health saw the post and happened to have Wade swoop by their offices yesterday. Apparently, they think we said LeBron James is a better actor than Wade (which is not exactly…
I’m a big fan of Netflix. Something about being able to rent movies in my pajamas without actually leaving the house just appeals to me. And though my laptop screen (13.5 inches) doesn’t really compare to a flat screen, sometimes you just can’t wait for that little red envelope to…
Like countries in a Middle East arms race, Miami-area high school football teams have spent the last nine months developing top-secret weapons to unload on their unsuspecting opponents.Trick plays, revamped offenses, and last-minute transfer students will all be on display tonight as the high school football season begins.For local title-hopeful…
