Dunk over Car?

I recently read an article about Blake Griffin at the NBA slam dunk contest and it was saying how it was just this awesome dunk of a guy jumping over a car, but to me I don't even think that was that great. There were other dunks that were much more memorable than that. And anyways, he jumped over the hood of the car not the whole thing. But in this article this man seemed pretty convinced that it was awesome. I respectfully disagree.

Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition

When I was searching for an article today somehow I randomly ended up clicking the article on the SI covergirl Irina Shayk. The article discuss' her excitment regarding her being on the cover with boyfriend Christiano Ronaldo. The article went on to talk about how she felt about how she looked and she said she thought she was looking good. I would like to agree with that statement but I can't because my Mom threw away the issue right when it got in the mail, sweeeeeeeet.
