· No matter what the standings say, it looks like Sweden is the big winner so far at the World Cup. (No, we're not changing our name to "Soccerbot" [yet)], but whenever hot chicks cheer on their favorite teams, we'll be there.) (yahoo.com)

· Seems that a reporter from the New York Times was one of the few who visited last weekend's Exotic Erotic Ball and Expo but naturally all he wants to talk about is business. Loosen up, guys—stop and smell the latex once in a while! (nytimes.com)

· There's not much we can add to this story other than to remind you that if you don't think it's suspicious when a Facebook/MySpace "friend" claims that he needs nude photos of you in order to pass his art class, you're probably too gullible to be online. (If that's the case, however, you should send the photos to us as well, so we can "secure" them for you.) (Gawker)

· Bill Gates is helping sex workers in India by giving out smart cards that remind them when to get health check-ups and can be used for discounts at the grocery store. Hate on Microsoft all you want, but what has Steve Jobs ever done for prostitutes? (dnaindia.com)

· Nokia provides Playboy readers with a valuable public service: a fold-out ad that doubles as a fake magazine cover so you can look at Miss July in the airport without all those awkward stares. As long as no one tries to "read it for the articles" over your shoulder, that is. (lewlara.com.br, via coloribus.com)

· Remember the madam who was nabbed for running high-priced hookers out of her New York penthouse last week? Well, she's naming (prominent) names and stealing the thunder from another alleged pimp. See? Now it's a real sex scandal! (reuters.com + nydailynews.com)

· Wayne Evans, a member of Queen Elizabeth's Welsh Guards, has been outed as a porn star and despite the tabloids' attempts to "shame" him, he seems quite proud of himself. He calls himself the "porno squaddie," which is probably harmless Brit slang, but it sounds absolutely filthy to us. (people.co.uk)
