You didn't think we were gonna make it through a whole day without mentioning Oprah again, did you? Well, we'll be brief. We've already revisited the controversy over this year's season premiere which was filmed downtown in early September. But readers who've been this site for a bit might remember that Stoplman and my predecessor, Margaret, attended the 2008 season premiere, filmed in Millennium...

I saw the Method cleaning products guys present at PSFK in San Francisco last year before returning back to Beijing for the Olympics . I was really impressed with their *warning - overused but in this case appropriate word-alert* passion for their business. Nice guys doing nice to the environment products. I thought they might have been too small to get into great advertising but that's what they...

Chris Bosh's offseason transformation began in an unlikely place -- his couch. Early into his summer, Bosh decided to watch the championship game from the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. It was supposed to be one of those feel-good moments, like popping in a classic film that always makes you smile, but it made him angry even as he saw himself receive the gold medal.

I compiled this quiz for our workplace today. Can you answer any of them? By the way, I do not watch soaps...I had to look them up...except for the Simpsons and Ena Sharples. Thanks Eileen for the answer to the minim question. It would have been embarrassing to have set the question and not be sure of the answer...I was a 1/4 out! It's no wonder I didn't get past grade 1V. Unfortunately I'll miss most...

I was at Games Day back in September when they were handing out these innocuous postcards.. I grabbed one in passing and stuffed it into my bag without paying much attention to it. About an hour later, while sitting having my 8th cup of coffee for the morning, I fished it out and looked at what it said- Ultramarines - A Warhammer 40,000 Movie. I decorated the table with cheap coffee when it registered....

An online debate was sparked by Josh Pettitt in the Cardiff Journalism School newsroom which has spread across WordPress and Twitter flaming debate. The Greatest Sporting Icon of the Noughties is the issue, and personally I feel there is only one possible choice. Men such as Michael Schumacher, Lance Armstrong and Ricky Pointing have all been hugely successful since 2000. Though Michael Brown’s...

Dear Explainer, I recently read about the UCI’s decision to strip Davide Rebellin of the silver medal he “won” at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing because he tested positive for CERA. As my kid would say, “big whoop.” It’s now November of 2009! The race was in August of 2008. What the (heck)? So more than a year later Fabian Cancellara finds out he actually won a silver...

One of the most controversial female French athletes, Laure Manadou, is qualified for 3 finals and one semifinal at the Olympics in Beijing. She is having a rough time in and out the pool due to the nude photos and sex tapes rumors.
