The Top 5 Revenge Moments in Sports

We all know that payback is a mutha, but nowhere more so than in pro sports, where you can get sweet revenge without jail time. So while most eyes will be on Brett Favre on Sunday when the New York Jets visit the Miami Dolphins (1 p.m., CBS), we’ll be checking for Chad Pennington, the Dolphins QB who was cut by the Jets to make room for Favre.

His vengeance factor will be higher than a muthafucka, and that always makes for a great game. Chad’s not the only sports figure to have revenge on his mind on the playing field. We ranked our top five favorite moments of vengeance in sports.

Battle Of The Phallic Spore Monsters

Above: “Dick Monster #1″

We may try our hardest to act like adults, but most of us still can’t resist a good dick joke. That was made evident when Electronic Arts released the “creature creator” for their online evolution game Spore, which drops this Sunday. At first, users made a serious effort, producing scary space monsters and creatures that look like they may already inhabit our planet.

And then, of course, users started creating what has been dubbed “Sporn.” These sexually charged creatures started popping up everywhere before EA and Maxis started cracking down and banning them from the game. But before they totally wiped the internet clean, we collected a few of the best dick monsters (pause on this whole post). Check ’em out and vote for the funniest one below.

Action Stars Who Refuse To Act Their Age

Nicholas Cage’s new international assassin flick Bangkok Dangerous sounds like a PSA for wearing a condom with Thai tranny hookers, but the lesson we’re taking from it is that aging movie stars need to act their damn age.

No matter how bald, wrinkly, and senile they get, offenders like Cage, Sylvester Stallone, and Harrison Ford continue to run around firing shots and nauseating audiences by tonguing down hot chicks half their age. We compiled some evidence to help you decide which actor is most out of pocket, like the balls hanging down to his shins.

UNIQLO Hires Friendly In-Store Robot

UNIQLO, the shop best known for its quality basics, is changing the back to school shopping game by introducing the first-ever robot to buzz around a retail store. The plastic yellow shopping-assistant named Wakamaru came to life through design by Toshiyuki Kita and engineering by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI). It’s expected to make its first appearance in the SoHo store sometime next week.

Besides being able to make eye contact, meet and greet customers and engage in brief conversations, Wakamura will also lead the staff in inspirational morning exercises. No word yet if Waka is capable of snappin’ on the colored-denim stans that will populate the store, but our fingers are crossed. Check out a video of little homie getting his swerve on in Washington earlier this year…

The Hottest Vampires In Cinematic History

With HBO’s long-awaited vampire drama True Blood starting up this Sunday, we got to thinking: even though we don’t think Anna Paquin is a vampire in the show’s first episode, chances are good she’ll be sucking on something before too long.

Which, if you ask us, is a good thing. There’s just something about a set of fangs and an insatiable appetite for man’s most vital fluid that ratchets up the sexy.

If you don’t believe us, peep some of our favorite female vampire moments…

Notebooks For The Modern Day Retro Kid

Hip-hop retro-style has blessed (or killed) everything from jewelry, haircuts, sneakers, and eye wear in the past few years, so it’s no surprise that school-supply swag is next up.

Street Science has taken iconic looks from rapper style like dookie chains and graffiti and slapped ’em on ruled composition notebooks. These must-haves for the studious retro kid come in an assortment of flamboyant colors and hook up perfectly to YO! MTV Raps Puma—if you’re looking to get your ’80s overload on. Check out all the flashy books below…

Win ‘It’s Always Sunny’ Season 3 On DVD

On those hazy nights at the bar, we’ve all done some things we’re rather forget. But the gang who runs the bar in F/X’s hilarious comedy It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia takes the cake—for the last three seasons, they’ve used Paddy’s Pub as the center of operations for an increasingly absurd string of schemes that involve everything from hostage negotiations to having sex with each others’ moms (CLICK HERE to check out the cast’s Guide To Bar Etiquette).

While you wait for new season to start on Thursday, September 18th, you can catch up by copping the season 3 DVD, which drops next Tuesday (9/9). We’ve got a copy of the three-disc set to give away to one lucky fan. All you have to do to enter is email a story about your worst bar experience to contest@complex.com. The person with the best story (as selected by the Complex staff) will win the DVD set!

And if you’ve been wondering what Jeru The Damaja has been up to (so have we!), check out the “Going Back To Philly” music video below.

Touch Wall Panels React To Heat Like Hypercolor

Taking a cue from that classic Hypercolor gear, designers Nuno Goncalves Ferreira and Erin Hayne have been creating home products like pillows and furniture that respond to body heat and warm light. Their latest creations are these Touch Wall Panels, which are intended to be hung up around your home.

As humans touch the thermosensitive fabric panels, the colors change, leaving temporary hand and body prints on the surface for up to 30 seconds. Finally, we have a method for catching serial wall-humpers in the act. See what the panels look like after you touch them in the gallery below…
