​As much as we respect and adore our bosses and even our sniveling coworkers, there are certain things that should be kept to a minimum among people who slave away together on a daily basis. One of those things is yoga. There are several reasons for this, among them, spandex, sweating, a lack of shoes, and a general sense of pervasive, uncomfortable awkwardness. While the New York Post seems to think that yoga with the coworkers is just wonderific, even a trend, proclaiming "yoga is the new golf!," we beg to differ. If you catch your boss in any of these positions -- all fairly basic to a beginner yoga class -- you may be forced to take a leave of absence. Health, schmealth, who can afford that?

​Would you be surprised if you popped in a tape of Dora the Explorer for your kids and Bubble Butt Bonanza No. 17 came on instead? The New York Daily News tells the story of a Candice Connor, a woman who faced that very situation via an "accidentally" porn DVD she bought from Toys R Us.

​A former Stuyvesant High School music teacher cum Hamas-praising weapons seller was busted last night in a Bronx warehouse. Theophilus Burroughs, who sold "high-powered weapons to undercover operatives he thought were connected to Middle East terror organizations," literally wet his pants when authorities arrested him, causing cops to line the cruiser's seats with plastic before bringing him to the slammer, according to the Post.

​We should have known this was coming, but sometimes even we are surprised by our own inadequacies in predicting which political, or pop culture, or important socio-psychological events the Taiwanese video makers will put to animation next. Will we never tire of these? It's almost as good as a smoking baby. Seriously, CGIers, can we get an Aldi Suganda/Adri Rizal treatment? Without further ado, LiLo's jail stint (girl, you look good in orange!). Video after the jump.

​Just as he'd pretty much fallen off our radars, Jesse James is back, this time demanding our attention by dubbing himself "the world's most hated man."

ABC's Nightline interview with James is set to air on Tuesday; early teasers show the self-professed sex addict mourning oh-so-woefully that he "took a pretty amazing life and amazing success and marriage ... and threw it away by my own hands." Then, of course, he cries and asks for a break.

Number 9

​The Maxim Hot 100 List is out. Yeah, we've been waiting for this all year! Not only that, but the Good Surgeon's Guide to the Top 10 Worst Celebrity Faces came out last week. And since we are connoisseurs of both beauty and hideousness here at Runnin' Scared, we thought that we should undertake a thorough investigation of both lists -- a side-by-side compare/contrast -- to understand what is beautiful and what is not. Anything to explore the science of attraction, you know?

Exclusive Manhattan swingers club Behind Closed Doors is looking to have Jersey Shore's Snooki host one of its monthly sex parties.

​Yes, the New York Times has yet again demonstrated how a governor's bumbling attempts at a cover-up for his personal aide were as insipid as they were bound to fail, which they did. Whatever. Don't act surprised. Nobody else is.
