Stensation passes along a PR pitch that he received yesterday (the bold, in this case, is from them):

Playboy Playmate Sara Underwood just launched her new endeavor HottieGram.com. Sara along with Co-Founder Phil Marcus has created a website where you can send a "HottieGram" taunting your friend about their favorite Basketball team losing or congratulate them on the win.

Sara and her sexy friends bring you the first ever personalized greeting card website; where a hot girl sends a personal message and actually says the recipient's name along with it. HottieGram has a greeting for every occasion. You can pick a R version and/or PG.

Would love for to feature HottieGram around March Madness. HottieGram has created one-of-a kind March Madness grams that any guy would love to receive.

In some ways, we love how blatant marketing has become. Those in the game have figured out that people are used to being marketed with sex and they are no longer shy about it in pretty much any venue. On the other hand, doesn't this demean us all? We're pretty sure we have beer commercials to blame and/or thank.

Also, we do not have access to HottieGram.com from work. Consider that your fair warning.

More sophisticated topics coming later as we check in with Timberwolves President Chris Wright about the team's ticket price slash and (hopefully) get another dispatch from a far away place.
