Alexis Normand makes America laugh with a frown on
Here are some things you should know before you watch Alexis Normand (kind of) sing the National Anthem:
– This took place in Canada.
– Alexis Normand had to sing the national anthems for both the United States and Canada (she did much better in the latter).
My favorite moments:
– #20 on the far left just putting his head down and laughing his ass off (0:49)
– #13 looking around as if he’s like “Does anybody else realize that this is really happening..?” (0:51)
– THE ENTIRE FREAKING VIDEO. This is one of the best “messed-up national anthems” in recent history and completely blows what Christina Aguilera mess up at the Super Bowl out of the water.
Manny Ramirez and the Chinese Professional Baseball League

As a Dodgers fan, I’ll never forget how he single-handedly turned the Dodgers into a contender in the National League. As a baseball fan, I’ll never forget how he single-handedly ruined a career that was headed straight to the hall of fame.
Ladies and gentlemen, here are two beautiful examples of Manny being Manny… in Taiwan. You can also take these as two beautiful examples of why Manny is being Manny in Taiwan, and not in the states.

We’ve seen Metta World Peace do weather before, but I personally wasn’t a huge fan of it. It’s not that I have anything against Metta – I think he’s one of the most enjoyable personalities in the NBA. But in terms of content, it just wasn’t that funny.
Now this… This is funny:
Some memorable quotes:
“Yo Devin… I got 5 on it baby.”
“It’s, um, 72 degrees on Saturday, it’s 77 degrees Sunday, 80 on Monday, and ya’ll know the rest. Just read. If you can’t read, go to school.”
