"With the Web becoming a more prevalent platform, the race to ensure broadcast rights for the Olympics means much less. Case in point: Tuesday's deal between the IOC and YouTube.

While obviously the Olympic Games cannot be broadcast live over YouTube, the move marks the first time that content will be available from a single provider on a global basis. Clips and highlights of the games will be uploaded to YouTube, and made available in 77 countries..."

Well, I always find photos of abandoned buildings amazing, all the pieces of life just left around, imagining what they were like in their heyday etc. (Some prime examples of people who turn this into a beautiful art form are Abandoned Places and Opacity)

This guy does not have the knack for photography like those people, but the fact that this is the former mansion of Mike Tyson and has a indeterminate recent history, makes it quite fascinating to me, I hope others here will enjoy the photos.

Mike Tyson's former mansion

Also... it shows: Money can't buy taste.

I can't submit the video since the embed isn't compatible for videosift, but this video is worth checking out..

I guess sitting at a desk all day would make me want to hit someone with a rolled up Martha Stewart magazine too.

Seriously though, check out some of those weapons! Toilet seats? Dust busters??

F1 boss in a nazi (that's right, nazi) bdsm orgy

I bet you're thinking this is SO April fools, right?
Because what the hell happened to just having normal bdsm sex? Why these nazi perversions? This sounds too "good"/too wtf to be true, doesn't it?

Well, unfortunately, it is true.

From The Times:
Max Mosley faces calls to quit as Formula One chief after ‘Nazi’ orgy

Max Mosley, one of the most powerful men in world sport, was under pressure to resign as boss of Formula One’s governing body last night after he was exposed enjoying a Nazi-style orgy with five prostitutes.
Jewish groups condemned the behaviour of Mosley, 67, whose father, Sir Oswald, was the leader of the British Union of Fascists and a friend of Adolf Hitler.
Mr Mosley was caught on video by the News of the World with five women in an underground “torture chamber” in Chelsea, where he spent several hours allegedly indulging in sado-masochistic sex.
The Oxford-educated former barrister, who is president of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), reenacted a concentration camp scene in which he played the role of both guard and inmate.
Speaking in German and brandishing a leather whip, he beat the women after allowing himself to be subjected to a humiliating inspection for lice and an interrogation in chains.

There also was a YT video, which is now removed:

Note: submitting this to Sift Talk as it surely is worthy of Siftin', it's just that no embeddable video is available yet.

"The Times is reporting today that this year's crop of crazy expensive Super Bowl ads is going to be tamer than usual. Basically babies talking on webcams. Awesome. This got me thinking about Super Bowl commercials that were actually memorable, and after some searching I put together this list of 25 (after the jump.) Once you've watched all these you and that chick at your party who doesn't give a sh*t about football will have something to talk about..."

At 5 feet 6 inches, Maurice Jones-Drew is one of the shortest running backs in the leagues. He is also one of the best.

Although he is listed at 206lbs, he looks more like 215-240 range.

Make your predictions here!

Just in case someone didn't notice, rugby world cup has reached quarter finals.

Today current champion England beated Australia 12-10 and qualified for the semifinals, and in a few hours there will be New Zealand vs. France.

Tomorrow we'll have South Africa - Fiji, and Argentina - Scotland.

Watch them if you can
