Hubcap Hurling
Redneck Games up 425%
Somewhere between Macon and Savanna Georgia lays the Promised Land for many-a-redneck. The opening ceremonies were heralded by the traditional yet dramatic propane torch lighting of a BBQ grill, yes, the 10th Annual Redneck Games officially commenced. Created by a local radio station's tongue-in-cheek alternative to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, the Redneck Games have become a toilet-seat-throwing, seed spitting, riotous southern fried event.

Passionate 'blue collar' folks flock to the games like mosquitoes to a bug zapper with dreams of bringing home the gold. From armpit serenades, to hubcap hurling, a 'redneck horseshoes' -- played with toilet seats -- the competition can be as ruthless as free double-wide give-a-ways on Jerry Springer. Even though bobbing for pig feet is the most popular event, web users were most intrigued by the mud pit belly flop competition. That event, with a high level of difficulty, gives competitors their opportunity to swan dive into a muddy pit. Judges rate the contestants based on the best form, the loudest smacking noise as flesh hits mud and the reddest after burn.

Slow Down
Bobby Valentino up 131%
The latest R&B heart throb making smoke on our search logs is Bobby Valentino. The hit single "Slow Down," from his debut disc 'Disturbing Tha Peace Presents: Bobby Valentino, is Valentinos' true story of trying to get the attention of a 'cutie with a booty' while on LA's famed Melrose Blvd. According to him, he never did meet his inspiration for the tune. The 23-year-old 'smooth operator' cites Stevie Wonder as an early influence. When Valentino was a tender 13-year-old he started out with the one-hit-wonder, boy band Mista. They faded into obscurity after the hit single 'Blackberry Molasses' lost airplay. This time Valentino is determined to stay on top of the music scene. He has signed on for The Heart Throb Tour with Bow Wow and Omarion.
