Like a scene out of Heat, men stormed the building and made off with the, while also beating the stunned security guards in the process. So, first they surprise them, while they aren&#8217;t doing their job, then they beat them. They got kicked, while they were down worse than Britney Spears in a child custody courtroom. I also want to know how a post office had $1.1M, did they have really rare stamps?</p>

The campaign was not successful in that Peru lost by a score of 6-0. I&#8217;m just waiting for these over the top gimmicks to cross over into America. Forget the gun, I got some better ideas:</p>
<p>1. Show Johnathan Papelbon drawing dicks on a picture of Mariano Rivera&#8217;s face.</p>
<p>2. Show Dmitri Young taking a dump on an opposing team&#8217;s field</p>
<p>3. Have Gilbert Arenas wiping his ass with his latest contract offer.</p>

Yeah boy, it sounds like a story that should be told on Howard Stern. Two-time World Cup champion, <a href="http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=530065&amp;cc=5901">Ronaldo, was found at a hotel a hotel in Brazil involved in aÂ argument</a>with a few transvestites that he had come to an agreement with for sex. Prostitution is legal in Brazil, so I guess it&#8217;s not that big of a deal over there, but the trannies tried to get $30,000 out of the gap-toothed forward in return for hiding the situation from the media. It&#8217;s hard to believe that he is out looking for STD&#8217;s when his last two relationships were with an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniela_Cicarelli">MTV Brazil VJ</a> and a <a href="http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&amp;q=Raica+Oliveira&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8">supermodel</a>. The best part of this story comes in a quote from police inspector Carlos Augusto Nogueira:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;He admitted to everything, he wanted to have fun,&#8221; Nogueira said. &#8220;But he committed no crime at all, it was immoral at best.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I believe that Nogueira got the words a little mixed up, he probably meant, &#8220;Immorality at it&#8217;s best.&#8221;</p>
