This guy is trying to hold a high-powered rifle at arms length and not get smashed in the face by the recoil…if he was successful this video wouldn’t have been posted.

Gates: Probably Got Crack Sprinkled On Him

In what appears to be a Dave Chappelle stand-up routine come to life, a black Harvard Professor got arrested for breaking and entering…into his own house.  From The Boston Globe:

“Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., one of the nation’s pre-eminent African-American scholars, was arrested Thursday afternoon at his home by Cambridge police investigating a possible break-in. The incident raised concerns among some Harvard faculty that Gates was a victim of racial profiling.

Friends of Gates said he was already in his home when police arrived. He showed his driver’s license and Harvard identification card, but was handcuffed and taken into police custody for several hours last Thursday, they said.

The police report said Gates was arrested after he yelled at the investigating officer repeatedly inside the residence then followed the officer outside, where Gates continued to upbraid him. “It was at that time that I informed Professor Gates that he was under arrest,” the officer wrote in the report.”

Looks like he should have spread his cheeks and lifted his sack.

Another fun-filled, sexually harassed night at the ballpark.

I’d say after like 15 beers that “Bone” quadrant gets a looootttt bigger…it’s science.

Scott Schuman has been photographing people on the streets in the world’s fashion hotspots since 2005, cataloging them on what is one of my favorite fashion blogs called The Sartorialist.  He’s been carefully crafting a book of these photographs and it’s finally come to fruition.  A great coffee table book if you want to pretend you actually know shit about wearable fashion sense.
