Manhattan Beach drew more than 80,000 people over the weekend to watch the Charlie Saikley 6 man volleyball tournament.  The tournament first began in 1960 by Charlie Saikley, one of the founders of beach volleyball.  Throughout the years, the tournament became known as the “Wimbledon of volleyball” and drew professional athletes as well as regular players just wanting to have a good time.  Today, more than 100 teams enter the tournament and the majority of them have themes consisting of pop culture.  Saturday was the busiest day as all teams played while Sunday had less people because most teams were eliminated.…

It seems like the Suicide Girls are not allowed at this year’s Comic Con.  The drama started when a Comic Con board member saw a Suicide Girl sell a DVD copy to a minor at WonderCon (also run by the same people who organize Comic Con).  For those of you that don’t know much about Suicide Girls, they’re a web community consisting of tattoo’d girls photographed in a series of photoshoots.  Majority of the pictures are nude but I see them as artsy more than exploitation shots like Penthouse.

 

Suicide Girls’ statement to the accusation  is that they never sold a …

According to AP, Playboy has launched a new nudity-free (boo) website that is safe to be viewed at the workplace. It looks just like Maxim to me, but at least now you really can go there to read the articles. To be fair, their interviews are typically excellent:

Playboy Enterprises Inc. launched a website Tuesday that it swears will be safe to browse while at work, eliminating the need for men to throw themselves over their computer screen when the boss walks by.

TheSmokingJacket.com will contain none of the nudity that makes Playboy.com NSFW – not suitable for work. Instead, it’ll …

First off, NERDSociety would like to wish Wanderlei Silva a Happy Birthday, Silva turns 34 July 3rd!

NERDSociety visited Wanderlei Silva’s gym, as he trained for his scheduled fight with Yoshihiro “Sexyama” Akiyama. Unfortunately, Silva suffered a rib injury and could not fight. It’s a shame because he worked so hard to prepare for the fight.

Wanderlei Silva is one of the sport’s most devastating fighters. His MMA career started in Vale Tudo matches in Brazil; no gloves, no problem. But, fame didn’t come to Silva until he started fighting in PRIDE FC, especially after he TKOd the legendary, …
