Since NASCAR was founded by moonshine runners it makes total sense to celebrate one of its young stars with a liquor dispenser that looks like a still. This copper topped still will look right at home with all your other racing memorabilia. Only this one is a lot more fun when used for pouring yourself a stiff belt just like Junior himself would.

You know how they say you should save for a rainy day? Fuck that. I say get yourself a nice pair of shoes. A pair of $100 Nascar pumps perhaps?

I was out shopping with my girlfriend over the weekend when I came across these Nascar branded pumps. I’m not sure how long they have been out there or why they even exist, but the whole concept was funny as hell to me. To be honest, the whole shopping excursion was an education into the weird world of women’s clothing. I mean, why would a clothing store offer pants in size 2, 4 and 6, but not offer a 3 and a 5? It’s retarded.

USA network is attempting to do for video gaming what t.v. has done for poker with 7 one hour episodes this fall highlighting the Major League Gaming circuit and it’s players.
“The upcoming televised series will aim to engage viewers with not only with the game play itself — featuring top players of “Halo 2″ on XBox and “Super Smash Bros. Melee” on Nintendo — but also sports-like commentary and profiles of the players.”
The president of Major League Gaming believes that this is a sign that professional gaming has finally arrived – comparing it to Poker two years ago or Nascar fifteen years ago.
And if you don’t believe that professional gaming is a viable source of revenue for USA or for the players, check out this Nerd Approved article on how Jonathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel earns a six figure salary playing video games.

I have seen a number of stories recently discussing how ads in video games can lead to a positive impression of a product, particularly if they are embedded into the game. Sort of like the cars of NASCAR being one big advertisement. Not something I am particularly against at this time. Seeing actual products in a game does give it a more realistic feel, but if it gets to the level of being obnoxiously obvious it will get out of hand rather quickly. I am fine with the placement as long as the ads are secondary to the design of the game, but I think we can all see what this could become. Games created purely for the sake of product placement. Let the game designers decide when an ad is appropriate and not let the lure of easy money from advertisers take over the design process. I think the gaming community is would have no place for a game that does not deliver what its true purpose is, and that is exciting game play and interesting scenarios.
