The masses are up in arms over the possibility of Jeremy Lin going out with succubus Kim Kardashian. People need to chill. She’d touch him and start burning up like a vampire in Blade. Since you asked, the current odds on the date going down are 5/1. Don’t like those chances? Paddy Power has a game more to your liking.

The sports book is in trouble with the Advertising Standards Authority after complaints were received over an ad for the Cheltenham Festival’s Ladies Day. Viewers are asked to pick the “transgendered ladies” placed in the crowd.

Paddy Power and broadcaster BSkyB were accused of inciting transphobia with the campaign, which promised to make the festival’s Ladies’ Day “even more exciting by adding some beautiful transgendered ladies: Spot the stallions from the mares”.

How’d you do? LGBT groups are raising a ruckus over the ad and demanding action from the regulator. Don’t expect Paddy Power to back down. Here’s an ad from last year showing a blind soccer player kicking a cat into a tree. That was the most complained about ad of the year. Umbro deserves some credit for that one.

All I know is the big, black one with the old man in the box is definitely all woman. Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go spit some game at her like a llama. What?
