It’s one of those failures that make you glad to be alive … it’s just hillarious.

Lane Bryant has a new line of lingerie, and they have a plus-sized model in the commercial, and the commercial is kind of risque.

ABC and FoxNews have decided they are not going to air it, but CNN’s HLN thought they would show it and bill it as an exclusive. The commercial is of the model in her bra and panties and she gets a text from “Dan” and it says, “come meet me” or something like that. She licks her lips, throws on an overcoat and heads out the door.

Evidently, there is already a YouTube spoof of this commercial … which CNN HLN didn’t spend time in looking at too closely b/c they evidently went to YouTube, ripped the spoof and aired it!!! However, in the spoof, it’s not Dan’s “come meet me” text - the text says “the McRib is back!!”

By the way, if that is what is considered as “plus sized” then there’s something seriously wrong in the fashion world.

Watch this Episode – Welcome back Desmond! This was a great episode … maybe not the best LOST episode or even this season’s episode … but, it is a great Desmond episode (as always). So many details and connections to the original time and the sideways and visuals, it’s probably better that you just watch the episode.

We’re back with one of the greatest times of year … baseball season … and that means it’s time for Fan Stop Central to make its season predictions. So, as opening day is upon us, let’s get to it:

We’ll start in the American League in the East:
There’s very little doubt who the major favorites are in this division as it seems the Blue Jays have traded away their success, and FSC would dare you to name someone from both them and the Orioles. Tampa Bay has also made their mark (much like the occasional Marlins teams) leaving the division as a grudge match between the Yankees and Red Sox … what a shocker … leaving the Yankees as the division winner.

In the AL Central:
Much like the East, there are a couple teams who are strong favorites and the rest are probably playing not to be last in the division. As much as we would like to see the Royals or Indians have a franchise-turnaround season, we don’t think this is the year … although, if there’s a dark horse in the league this year, it may turn out to be Kansas City. But, this division title will be fought by two teams and a possible third sticking its head up there. The White Sox and Tigers look to be the big front-runners with Minnesota (and their new field) not far off their heels, but what it comes down to in this division is pitching, and Detroit may be the one that has what it takes.

Out to the AL West:
This may be (as is usually) the wild, wild west. Seattle, Texas and Anaheim are each viable picks for the West. Oakland, who we picked last year, not so much. While pitching is always important, FSC thinks this division will be dominated and determined by the bat. As great as it would be to see Seattle take the division, we see the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim as the victors.

AL Wildcard:
Boston Red Sox


Now we head to the National League and start in the East:
There’s really only one favorite from this division. While the Braves could and should be back in the hunt, we see the Philadelphia Phillies doing nothing but running away with the division. Their staff is stacked and Ryan Howard may be the favorite to capture the league MVP. The rest of the division is playing for a paycheck.

In the Central:
Much like the East, the Central should be dominated by a single team. Unless disaster strikes, there is no reason the Cardinals shouldn’t run away with this division. Chicago would like to say they’ve retooled, and Milwaukee has some good tools, but we don’t see either of them stepping up to the plate. Pittsburgh will be much like the Royals, and the Astros … well, they always start off slow and come on like a scare in the end, but if all play to potential, St. Louis will be playing in October.
St. Louis Cardinals


Out to the West:
Like the AL, this division looks to be the one with the strongest/tightest race. San Fransisco, Arizona and Colorado may all beat each other up to get to the top with San Diego and Los Angeles peeking their heads up a few times. In the end, we see San Fransisco weathering the regular season to continue on into October.
