A Colorado law firm attempts to keep the photos of the pantsless ski man from circulating any further across the internet. Good luck with that. [The Smoking Gun]

If you haven't had the opportunity yet to check out The Smoking Gun's new gallery, which features the best mug shots of people wearing their favorite sports team's jerseys, we can't recommend it enough. (Via CourtTV.) We can't quite tell what this guy's jersey is: Purdue?

This here is Joe Morgan. No, obviously, not that Joe Morgan; this is Joe Morgan, an 18-year-old kid who was arrested with aggravated sexual abuse in Peoria, Illinois. He's part of The Smoking Gun's all-star lineup of mugshots of people with famous baseball players' names. Our favorite is Bobby Bonds.

Which brings us to another thing we wanted to mention: The Smoking Gun actually just came out with a book called The Dog Dialed 911, which is a compendium of some of the best documents they've uncovered in their 10 years of online existence. Obviously, the big hits are there — James Frey, the lesbian cheerleaders, five violent strip club episodes — but our favorite was this lurid tidbit from the Kobe Bryant's rape testimony report.

We asked Bryant where did he ejaculate. He stated he ejaculated onto a white shirt after [redacted] left. We asked if we could have that t-shirt. Bryant agreed. I followed him into Bryant's room. Bryant then threw the t-shirt at me. I told Bryant not to throw it at me because I would come pick it up in a safe location. I caught the t-shirt around the neck region. Bryant told me he didn't "shoot it" up that far.

Honestly ... The Smoking Gun guys are doing the Lord's work.
