From G4's Moments in De-Evolution: "See what happens when frat dudes have too much time and booze on their hands." Unfortunately, it's not that kind of fun, but it does involve a urinal at the end. Safe for work.

CNN.com is reporting that the body of Jennifer Hudson's nephew has been found in the SUV that was reported missing from the Hudson household.
This is an unbelievably sad end to a horrible tragedy.
I really do think "True Blood" is the best thing going on TV today. It's just so . . . clever. And funny. (Warning: Potential Spoilers Below)
Music plays a big part in the world of "True Blood." All of the shows are named after songs. Last night's episode was titled "Fourth Man in the Fire" after Johnny Cash's song of the same name. It plays when Amy and Jason are sitting in the truck, waiting to get into Vampire Eddie's house.
One of my favorite moments last night was when Lafayette was working on gay Vamp Eddie, and the song "Eternal Flame" by The Bangles was playing in the background. How funny is that? The immortal gay vampire IS an eternal flame. Love it. (I tried to be offended by calling a gay character a "flame," but it just wasn't coming. It's just too funny.) One thing -- who is the fourth man in the fire? Is that Eddie since three vamps died (presumably) in last week's fire? Or is it Jason because he has gotten in over his head with his new psychotic silver-toting girlfriend? (She makes jewelry -- she made her own silver lariat. Does that mean that she made the silver lariat that was used on Vampire Bill? I think Amy is part of something a whole lot bigger, and I think Vamp Eddie might know about it. Remember when Amy, after tossing that silver hood on Vamp Eddie, screamed at Jason, "No names!" Crazy girl might just be around for a while . . . .)
Other favorite moments last night:
A seductive Vampire Eddie to a reluctant Lafayette: "I always look forward to Mondays. First, 'Heroes' and then you."
Bill to Eric about why he didn't return Eric's text messages: "I don't like using the number keys to type."

The 60 Minutes examining the causes of the financial crisis helped me understand a litte bit better what's going on. (I apologize for the commercial at the beginning, but I thought it was worth it since the information given in the report is so helpful.)
The world's financial system teetered on the edge again last week, and anyone with more than a passing interest in their shrinking 401(k) knows it's because of a global credit crisis. It began with the collapse of the U.S. housing market and has been magnified worldwide by what Warren Buffet once called "financial weapons of mass destruction."Below, a 60 Minutes report from 1995 that predicted the financial meltdown. "07/23/95: Steve Kroft investigates what stock derivatives are and the dangers they pose to investors."
As Steve Kroft reports, essentially [derivatives] are side bets on the performance of the U.S. mortgage markets and the solvency on some of the biggest financial institutions in the world. It's a form of legalized gambling that allows you to wager on financial outcomes without ever having to actually buy the stocks and bonds and mortgages. It would have been illegal during most of the 20th century, but eight years ago Congress gave Wall Street an exemption and it has turned out to be a very bad idea.
At least 64,000 people from all 50 states and more than 20 other countries have given money to support or oppose a ban on same-sex marriage in California, reflecting broad interest in a race that some consider second in national importance only to the presidential election.
Ten days before the vote on Proposition 8, campaign finance records show that total contributions for and against the measure have surpassed $60 million, according to an analysis by The Associated Press.
That would be a record nationally for a ballot initiative based on a social rather than economic issue, campaign finance experts say. It also eclipses the combined total of $33 million spent in the 24 states where similar measures have been put to voters since 2004.
