Just a day after the Super Bowl, new MVNO Mobile ESPN officially started service. The carrier's first handset is the Sanyo MVP, a made-over Sanyo MM-5600. The eye-catching red-and-black flip phone offers a generous selection of 3G-capable multimedia features, including access to ESPN sports programming and news. Other features include an MP3 and AAC player, a 1.3-megapixel camera with flash and video, support for direct photo printing, a Mini SD card slot, a speakerphone, messaging, gaming, and a wireless Web browser. The phone is $199, and service plans start at $34.99 per month.

When not at work, he's planning his next trip to Australia, going for a run, or watching planes land at the airport (yes, really).

So, will Boobquakes be measure on the Richter scale or by a cup scale?

A 7.2 quake on the Richter scale is the same as a D-cup Boobquake!!

Bust these ayatollas and Iran's President A-Mad-Jihad!

And don't forget to bust their nuclear facilities.
Who believes this energy-wealthy country needs nuclear reactors for energy?

It's time to take out Iran's military and ALL nuclear sites, BEFORE they produce nuclear weapons.

Can you imagine what we'll have to face if our Western World leaders permit this Islamofascist theocracy to impose and enforce their strict Islamic Law(Sharia) with nuclear weapons in their arsenal ?!

The people in these Islamic countries only receive a religious education, not an academic one. The quran is their whole education. So what's even more dangerous about the cleric's ignorance is that the majority of Muslims probably believe him because they don't know any better.

I solved the Nikola Tesla riddle of the 369. Tesla has accomplished many marvelous inventions and had many great discoveries in electrical engineering BUT THIS ONE YOU DID NOT HEAR. It is the total truth without quibble and the very reason for all the rumors and disinformation. Now, after 111 years and with the dawn of two new centuries, I announce an achievement which will amaze the entire universe, and which eclipses the wildest dream of even the most visionary scientist. Nikola Tesla made earthquakes in 1899. That my friends is the universal key to unlock so many lies under guise of freedom..
Tesla made earthquakes in 1899.
September 3, 1899
September 6, 1899
September 9, 1899
If you only knew the mag-nificence of the three, six & nine that in truth are dates in September, 1899, when Tesla made the land wave like the sea, Yakutat Bay earthquakes from Colorado Springs you hear and now see. Have an ear to fathom the extent and danger from this the greatest discovery of all time, a literal and symbolic key to the universe left by Nikola Tesla who's character and many clue's had way too much pride to out last time nameless for false free men.

I love it! It's silly and it makes fun of people trying to force their religious beliefs on other people at the same time.

How ironic that the people who are the most outspoken against any kind of sex are the ones most obsessed by it (e.g. the whole martyr and getting virgins as a reward bit).

This is no different than so-called "Christian" people saying that something like hurricane Katrina was caused by God punishing America for its tolerance of gay people. Uh, excuse me but if there is this entity called God than It (you cannot call God he or she because that implies that God is a physical being thus defeating the purpose of being a god since all physical beings die) would not be a hate monger. You are.

GOD is a he... man created in his likeness... later, when man was too lonely with sheep and cows (?) the Lord created woman (from one of mans' ribs.

It is the plates that cause earthquakes the fault lines..I have very little education..It is the earth..This is also 2010.. That's right..It has nothing to do with the bloody church etc..Fault lines are there. If the earth is going to shake it will and we can't cause natural earthquakes..They happen..I have been in earthquake..They use out dated book to live their lives..Cover head to toe..I could not safely wear those items. It is appalling the ladies are forced to wear that outfit. When it cames to men ,it matters not what a woman is wearing.. If he is bent on rape he will rape a fully covered female just as fast as he would a half naked one. The clothes won't stop him.. Each person dresses his/her person in the clothe they wish..The human race can't cause earthquakes..It is odd that others seem to know God's Will and speak for Him. That they believe every word of old books..Granted we can learn from them in the period they were written..But today we can learn the way the earth is..The weather plays a role in it..

wow, you should watch LOST then to get a sense of 'religion', good versus evil, ghostly smoke monsters....

I prefer to believe, not believing and a chance to be in the prerg or hell or LOST island forever... is just too much to be left to chance...

When nonbelievers make love... do they call out the LORDS name during extasy? What do they say when they smak their thumb with say.. a hammer... When someone scares them, do they take Jesus name in vain?
