Kobe Nugget

An Italian hazelnut butter (like peanut butter) manufacturer has announced that it is dropping its celebrity spokesman, a certain Mr. Bryant. In the disingenuous move of the new millenium, it denies it has anything to do with his recent run-ins, instead invoking the "new marketing direction" clause.

C'mon, guys? Nobody can blame you for taking the saying "Kobe Bryant's Favorite Spread" off of all your jars. After all, truth in advertising is a concern, and we all know that Kobe's favorite spread is not hazelnut at all, but is in fact young white trash, giving him hoovers in his room at the spa.

In other news, as luck would have it, during a layover at O'Scare, Kobe was recently seen comparing notes with Kyle Farns #44 as he headed either to San Diego, or to some Florida destination, to touch base with one of his baby mamas.

The fact that these two numbnuts are fathers make me very concerned about the future.
