It’s Friday, and in a week where the biggest stories on the Internet were (simultaneously) the horrible truths behind the Jerry Sandusky scandal and Daniel Tosh getting all I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA about rape being funny, I’d just as soon throw up a bunch of funny videos and tuck-and-roll my way the f**k out of it.

In that spirit, here’s a fan-made Billy Joel parody about Detroit Tigers ace/All-Star Game ruiner Justin Verlander hooking up with fanatical With Leather crush Kate Upton because everyone in Michigan is an asshole. Upton kinda sounds like “uptown”, and Billy Joel something something Uptown Girl.

Incredible, real song lyric sample:

He’s been living in his baseball world

And now he’s looking for his big curve lass
She’s got the ass

You can read a collection of quotes about how horrible Torpedo of Truth was over at Buzzfeed, but for the sake of keeping a sports theme, Sheen’s “stand-up” performance was so bad that Matt Millen gave it a 10-year contract. Detroit hasn’t seen this big of a waste of money since Charlie Villanueva signed his contract. Sheen was so much of an incoherent mess that Miguel Cabrera felt his pain. The crowd turned against Sheen so quickly that Vladimir Konstantinov ordered him a limo. Sheen’s act was so terrible that the audience begged Rich Rodriguez to replace him. Sheen’s comedy was so offensive that Fox Theatre management brought in Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson to calm people down.

And I’m spent. Video below, trolls.
