Today we bow our heads in honor of a great hero. Adelir Antonio de Carli's body was found near the city of Macae yesterday. He was ballooning over the Atlantic Ocean for a charity event when he went missing on April 20th. He was suspended by 1,000 multicolored balloons (shown above). He will be missed!

EarFreaked: Dean Milan


Not satisfied with the same old industrialized pop/country/hip hop/polka vomit? Does regular music make you cry tears of acid? Never fear, grab a tissue and be prepared to get EarFreaked.

Dean Milan.... where can one start? His hip beats make all the ladies' panties hit the ground level. Dean's smooth voice and sexy lyrics make him a great artist. He's hard to find, but bet that a few people could create a bitchin fan club and put Milan on the map!

For all of you Dean Milan virgins we suggest starting here with, "Do It Like a Dog" .

After you've experienced the Milan feel free to move on to his other works .

Lastly, here's a small tidbit that features Dean from 1996 and a cute picture of him standing up for what he believes in.

Rant Of The Week: Week One



Every Thursday the Hem gets a bit irritated with life. Rather than let that irritation build into a kitten smashing spree, we like to watch people rant their hearts out. This week's rant comes from the brilliantly intelligent comedian James Inman who tells a story about the time he was arrested for saying fuck.

What's the grade?: This rant gets a gigantic A+ for two reasons.

1) Fuck is a word that should be allowed to pass through everyone's mouth hole without punishment. Whatever happened to life, liberty, and the pursuit of fuck?
2) Inman's word choice is absolutely delicious and beautifully horrific.
ENJOY!!!
