Formula 1 2012

This season in Formula 1 racing in 2012 expects to be the most exciting yet.  Many of the drivers all have a strong skill set and the Reb Bull Racing team won't have their exhaust blown diffuser system to rely on which saw Sebastian Vettel win most of the polls last year to dominate the season. 

There are 6 world champions this season, the most ever. The new drivers that are arriving on the scenes are very impressive and it is not just your typical filler drivers. The gap between the best and the newcomers is so narrow that it seems any of these new guys has a realistic chance of winning some races. Just try these names on for size: Romain Grosjean, Bruno Senna, Nico Rosberg and Paul di Resta.

Just listen to this roll call of F1 champions: Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher.

Going to the races

Going to the races is a great way to meet more F1 fans and lets be honest it is certainly a party no matter how you look at it. To be able to see and hear the cars in person is truly a unique experience. When you see the cars live for the first time you will think that watching them on TV makes them appear slower than how fast they go. The sound is also mind boggling and a bit piercing of the ears so it is recommended you wear ear plugs or at least buy some head gear to cover your ears properly.

F1 news and betting

Trust me, the races are more exciting when you have money on the line and you really really want your drivers to win. You can bet on almost anything from winning the title for the drivers, constructors championship, bet on the individual races including first to retire, winner of the pole position, podium finishes and to win the race. What is more exciting is head to head matchups where you have 2 somewhat equal drivers and see who wins the battle of the two. An example would be Nico Rosberg against Michael Schumacher.

Funniest banned commercials - Top 5

After spending hours of researching watching youtube videos to find the funniest banned commercials we finally produced our Top 5. Many we had to leave out but remember hours of time research went into this. 

1. Skittles Commercial just not right for television

 

The production of this video looks too well done and not something a bunch of amateurs would put together. A lot of time and money went into making this which means it was probably the indirect results of Skittles paying a viral marketing company to produce something that people would share. Sure enough this video is getting a lot of comments and views. Well done either way.

2. Funny banned condom ad that should be on TV

 

Nothing wrong with this ad so who knows why it was banned on TV. We won't say what the commercial is about since it will give it away but it is fairly obvious. Use condoms!

3. More banned condom ads

 

Condoms are always a popular topic and you can imagine that many commercials get produced and are banned before they get a chance to make it on TV.

4. Bill Clinton voodoo commercial banned

 

This is banned for obvious reasons but it doesn't mean it isn't hillarious!

5. Learn English banned commercial

 

This is banned for obvious reasons. It was a nice attempt to prove a point to learn English but no way this commercial makes it on any tv station especially in Europe.

Best of Whitney Houston Songs

Today there is good news and bad news. The bad news: Whitney Houston dies at the young age of 48. The good news if there is anything possible from such a horrible event is that people might talk about the negative stuff surrounding her life but the good is that she leaves behind a voice the world can always appreciate. It is because of this we will celebrate the life and remember the Best of Whitney Houston by sharing her music.

Her music has influenced and affected so many lives that when people will think of Whitney Houston they will eventually forget about her troubled past with drug abuse and they will remember her music. The world could use more of her music but she simply left the best behind and her powerful voice is something that nobody knows will ever be found again. There simply wasn't anything like it. 

 

Whitney Houston has sold 55 million albums worldwide. She has also won the most awards by a female act collecting 415 awards and surely she will get a few more after.

RIP Whitney Houston!

Whitney Houston dies

Breaking news as Whitney Houston is dead. She had a lot fans around the world and used to be a super star. Unfortunately she died of overdose and all you can say is she definitely picked the wrong guy in Bobby Brown. 

It is a really sad way for her to leave us but at least she will always be remembered for her singing and she leaves behind a lot of beautiful songs. In a short period of time people will forget the sad way in which she left and all her personal problems. Whitney Houston is someone everyone can forgive.

Read our Best of Whitney Houston songs tribute showcasing a few of her songs that show how powerful and moving her voice is. Her lovely voice will always inspire and move people.

Rest in Peace Whitney. We will always love you!

Storied drug problems

Whitney was long rumored to have many drug problems including cocaine. She never seemed like the type of girl that could ever do such a thing.

Worst Super Bowl commercials ever

Sometimes the Super Bowl brings out the worst in TV. Either commercials are funny and worth talking about or they fall into the category of worst Super Bowl commercials ever. This year there were some horrible commercials and we also have some ones in the past that were very uninspiring and if anything made you want to hate the brand even more.  Most companies lose money on these ad sports because they pay a lot of money and rarely do they get the ROI they are hoping for. 

Welcome to the 2012 official worst shittiest super bowl ad and possibly of all time. 

 

Honda make great cars but they tried to revive a cult classic movie Ferris Bueller's day off and do a remake. Well the humor is just very bland and not very inspiring at all. It turns so cheesy that you notice that the commercial is really an ad and it is too much of a shill for Honda. Yes that is the purpose of the commercial but a good commercial makes you enjoy it and to respect the brand. Super Bowl commercial fail!

Stay tuned in as we add more commercials after the Super Bowl half time. 

Superbowl Betting Preview

The SuperBowl is on Feb 5th and it is a rematch of the SuperBowl 4 years ago featuring the New England Patriots versus the New York Giants. This SuperBowl is going to be the most bet on football event of all time. 

Years ago online sportsbooks took a serious beating when it came to betting on the event. The New England Patriots were given 13.5 points by the bookmakers which for some sharp bettors it was a nice spread offered. The Patriots went into that game undefeated while the Giants struggled to get into the playoffs but went in on a hot streak while the Pats nearly lost a few games and looked like they were about to eventually lose one. 

The final result was shocking and we have one video that sums up everything that happened in that game. The public felt that the Patriots were too dominating in the season and against Eli Manning, an unproven quarterback, that the Giants really had no chance. Beating the spread was a double payout and the win was about 4 to 5 times payout as well with maybe a 10% or 20% profit if you bet on New England. 

 

 

The best play of the game?

Tyree catches a pass on his helmet with maximum coverage and Eli Manning was nearly sacked. Leading up to that play he nearly was picked up a few times and nearly fumbled as well. Many thought that Tom Brady was too strong of a QB while Eli was destined to a career in the shadows of his brother Peyton Manning. 

The good news is for US players who want to bet on the game there are many bonuses at Intertops available. They also have a $200 free bet if you wager $1000 from now until Feb 5th.
