On any of your last vacations or business trips, have you ever smuggled anything into a movie theater, concert venue, or past the TSA security onto an airplane?

We’re not talking about anything illegal, of course. Something like a sealed bottle of water or a bag of candy purchased elsewhere. Nothing inherently dangerous, but just against the general rules of what’s allowed and what’s not.

Did You Know? The average pair of underwear contains about 1/10th of a gram of poop

By web gangsta | Published: May 28, 2010

According to a study by Charles Gerba – professor of microbiology at the University of Arizona: the AVERAGE PAIR OF UNDERWEAR CONTAINS APPROXIMATELY 1/10th OF A GRAM OF POO.

Gerba says that when you do an entire load of laundry that consists of just underwear, the wash water will contain about 100 million E. coli.  That many critters won’t completely wash away when the load is complete, and will remain in the washer to infest the next load of laundry that gets washed.

NSFW: A complete history of naked SURVIVOR contestants (and Jeff Probst?!?!)

By web gangsta | Published: January 31, 2010


SURVIVOR is one of those shows, especially as it is about to enter its 20th season this month with an all-star HEROES VS VILLAINS theme, that Web Watch loves watching – if only because the show somehow always figures out how to be fresh, exciting, and surprising season after season.

Jeff Probst has even given all future contestants one vital hint on how to survive Survivor, and it all comes down to studying game theory, which Web Watch will cover in a future post.

One thing that Jeff didn’t feel the need to mention is that one key part of being on Survivor is that at some point during the game, you’re going to be naked.

Sure, the CBS censors may pixelate your NO NO ZONE, or the contestants may decide to show off their newly-buffed bodies in an attempt to increase their Survivor-provided 15-minutes of fame — but after 20 seasons (and approximately 300+ contestants), there was bound to be a glut of Survivor contestant nudity available at some point.

It was inevitable, really.

Want to Stimulate the Economy? Buy Underpants

By web gangsta | Published: September 3, 2009


A new study has come out that equates MEN’S UNDERWEAR PURCHASE WITH ECONOMIC STIMULATION.

Because nothing says “stimulation” than seeing that the men’s underwear market is a US$5 billion a year industry, give or take a little.

And these business analysts say that the economic ups-and-downs we’ve been experiencing lately are all tied to how often men purchase their tighty-whiteys, boxers, boxer briefs, thongs(!), and banana hammocks.  (Web Watch includes those latter items for our European and more adventurous readers.)
