Dueling is a favorite pass time of mine but if you’re going to do it, you’ve got to be prepared. That’s why I wear one of these bulletproof handkerchiefs everywhere I go. Some mother fucker slaps me and challenges me to a duel, you bet your ass we’re meeting before sun down at the town square. Little does my opponent know that I’m equipped with the best booger protection in town.

Subtle and modest, it’ll also stop a bullet aimed at my heart. We’re talking military grade Kevlar, my friends. When it comes down to a life or death gun duel, you can’t settle for the cheap stuff.

Mountain Dew’s Action Sports Tour is headed our way and Nike really wants to make peoples’ jaws drop. For their campaign, they hired the ad/design firm Hub Strategy who worked on this armor-plated war truck, turning it into a mobile extreme sport HQ. But, what makes this monstrous truck so extreme? It’s not the skateboard ramp on the back or the rails surrounding it. It’s not even the wakeboard water tower. It’s the ass-load of Mountain Dew this thing’s going to have in its camper when it goes on tour around the country.

Nike 6.0 Ill Mobile is its name and being extreme is its game. How extreme? It’s like riding in a parajet car with no helmet while Tony Hawk sitting passenger side throws money in your face. They built this monstrosity in only three weeks. Now, they plan on taking it around the country, frightening little kids and crushing any who can’t best its vert ramp.

One thing most of us can agree on is that our troops overseas deserve only the finest body armor available. Their lives are at jeopardy in order to protect our freedoms, so we’d like to see everyone return home safe and sound. Soldiers could really use some of this Dragon Kin body armor from Pinnacle Armor. You can detonate an M67 grenade in point blank range and it won’t penetrate through the materials. It’s flexible so you can easily move around, which is essential during a fire fight. AK-47, M4 and MP5 rifles have also been tested on it with fantastic results. Hopefully, we’ll soon see US troops wearing the Dragon Skin standard. In the meantime, looks like they’ll have to order some BUILT backpacks and double up on those.

The Nihon Uni company, a uniform producer in Chuo Ward, Osaka, has developed a meshy t-shirt that is said to be knife-proof, and could save many from suffering being stabbed or shanked. The strength of the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber material used to create this shirt can be compared to the material used in aramid fiber body armor. It certainly beats wearing armor made of CDs.

Conveniently machine-washable, Momma won’t have any trouble cleaning out the blood stains from this shirt, not saying there would be any, because it’s knife proof and everything. Just to point something out, the model wearing the T-shirt must have some seriously diamond grade bio-engineered nips, because those things look just about ready to slice through the fabric, unless it’s an optical illusion or some severe wishful thinking. — Andrew Dobrow

This marks the second missed Vista release date for Halo 2, and this for an entirely more ridiculous reason. Halo 2 will now no longer be the first Windows Live enabled game because of “an unfortunate, obscure content error which includes partial nudity.”

All we’d like to know is, where could there possibly be nudity included in a Halo game? Does someone’s testicles slip out of their robotic armor or something? Microsoft has issued a patch for the nudity in question, with future titles being properly censored. Supposedly, the nudity in question was “a photograph of an individual showing his bare backside to the user when a particular error occurs.” Oh, so risque. Turn on the TV and you’ll surely see more nudity than that on any channel, including Fox News. — Andrew Dobrow
