Scanner Highs And Lows: Hooters tries to block Nerve

HIGHS:

Did you celebrate the third annual National Topless Day? Shouldn't you be celebrating it every day and sending us the photos?

You know the war in Iraq is over because Iraqi porn is prevalent at the Baghdad markets.

Conan O'Brien has two records coming out, including this single-only spoken word track.

The Social Network may soon join Inception and Toy Story 3 on the list of locks for a Best Picture nomination.

We're not sure what crazy-assed insurance company will back the camera crews for this one, but G4 is creating a Hurt Locker-styled reality show.

This post was too ridiculous not to mention here: the Tron-a-Sutra, which is the Kama Sutra crossed with Tron, of course.

And while it's weird that Playboy published an excerpt from the ancient novel "Madame Bovary," the fact that they're still publishing at all is cause for rejoicing.

LOWS:

Why would a Federal judge block stem cell research? Could you imagine a federal judge doing something so stupid back before the Bush administration came along and ruined America?

Hooters wants you to close Scanner and Nerve.com and go back to ogling its ridiculously-costumed waitresses.

Our mostly hotly-discussed post of the week was an old Facebook post about gay marriage that's finally going viral.

Awful Republican Congressional nominee Ben Quayle (how soon we forget father Dan) used to be an asshole blogger on The Dirty, which lost a $11 million libel suit this week.

And we're still pretty creeped out by this sock-folding robot, mostly because of the idea of robot sex.
