The Kind Of Trash You Love: <em>Spring Breakers</em>, Reviewed.
1. Spring Breakers is trashy: I'm not telling you something you don't know here. It's self-consciously trashy, but not in any sort of wry, ironic, removed way.

This DeAndre Jordan Alley-Oop Is Disgusting And We Should All Just Go To Bed Now

WBC Brawl Caused By Written Rule That Flies In The Face of Baseball's Unwritten Rules
Baseball, am I right? The cause of yesterday's brawl between Mexico and Canada is being laid at the feet of the tournament's tie-breaking procedure, specifically run differential. Because of the rules, as Canada manager Ernie Whitt said, the game is always played as though it's 0-0. So when Canada ...
