Woman jailed after failing to return video So, I didn’t even know you could get jailed for something like this. A woman named Kayla Michelle Finley from South Carolina spent a night in jail after she was caught for failing to return a movie she rented nine years ago.   Apparently she originally went to the jail to report an unspecified crime, but instead, was charged herself! And what was the movie she chose to rent for 9 years? The Jennifer Lopez rom-com, Monster-in-Law. I mean, I enjoyed that movie.Read More

So Sports Illustrated just came out with their latest Swimsuit Issue, which you probably already knew…unless you HATE social media, women, and fun in general. The best part? The always-captivating Kate Upton had an interesting series of photos for the magazine – she was photographed in a zero-gravity plane, far above the ground that mere mortals like you and I have to walk upon. When Tal Bachman released his hit song (you should be listening to this while viewing the photos), it seems clear he was predicting the stratospheric rise ofRead More

In Case You Missed It: On Wednesday’s Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, we were given PURE GOLD…in the form of NBC Nightly News Anchor Brian Williams puttin’ down some verses to Sugar Hill Gang classic “Rapper’s Delight.” In case you went to bed too early, or aren’t a big Jimmy Fallon fan, we have the video for you.Read More

Late last night, the world got a taste of the next chapter in the Marvel saga, and it’s a wild a departure from the clash-and-bang comic book adaptations we’ve come to expect. “They call themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy.” Forget the Avengers, this August a new team of superheroes will be raiding both the megaplexes and your pockets.  Led by Peter Quill (the Parks and Rec scene-stealer Chris Pratt), or Star-Lord as he’d like to be known [“you know, the legendary outlaw…?  Forget it”], these intergalactic misfits include theRead More

Well, this was the natural progression of things, right? After distraught app designer Dong Nguyen pulled his massively popular creation, Flappy Bird, off the market last week, hordes of imitators have flooded the App Market: Iron Pants, Happy Bird, Splashy Fish, and a bunch of other inanity based on the business model that was reportedly making Mr. Nguyen $50,000 PER DAY. So the next step was obvious, right? You can now make a DIY flappy bird clone! Go to this website, upload two photos, give it a name, and BOOM:Read More

1.  Mr.  Rogers                                                                                                                                                                  Yes, I do fancy a wholesome man in a cardigan like any other person, but envision the processes and melodies involved in getting intimate with a man who sings over buttoning his sweaters.  The action of sock removal in the heat of the moment would also be paired with a song to guide you through it.  This would occur for every clothing item removal and position change…any transition really.  Don’t engage in hanky-panky with Mr. Rogers unless you have seven hours. 2.  Read More

Oh my goodness you guys. Look at this precious animal. It is the happiest creature I have ever seen in my life! It’s so happy it’s almost cartoonish. I WANT TO HUG IT.    The Quokka is a small marsupial from Australia. I know what you’re thinking, OMG it’s from Australia it probably shoots poisonous darts and wants to eat me! No. The Quokka is 100% harmless to humans and totally friendly. It’s been known to approach humans on its own. Just don’t touch it, Australian law states it isRead More

Ethics in media are always fun. While certain companies have ignored the criticism and continued to air-brush and starve their models, others have taken a more wholesome approach – marketing their products to “real” women. Two companies are in particular contrast. See: Dove vs. Axe. But, in looking at the ethics of one vs the other, are they so different? There is little difference between an Axe commercial and a male sexual fantasy. Beautiful, thin women coming out in droves to stroke the head of a guy made desirable by hisRead More

  GoPro Goes Skydiving, Lands in Pig Pen This is a pretty awesome video that everyone needs to watch, right now. Apparently the story goes like this… A GoPro was about to go skydiving with some jumpers, but unfortunately, they dropped it. Amazingly, the camera continued to record all the way down to the ground until it finally landed in a pig pen. You also get some sweet footage from inside a pig mouth. The camera was found intact 8 months later  and the owner uploaded this video. There isRead More

Please stop whatever you are doing at this moment and go to shoshigames.tumblr.com. Frequent worrier and pop culture aficionado Shoshanna from Girls (or at least her photoshopped face) has taken over the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in “Shoshi Games 2014.” Yoooou’re welcome.     View the full gallery at shoshigames.tumblr.com.Read More

Occasionally, while scanning my Facebook timeline, I stumble upon an article that leaves me swearing at my computer screen, scratching my head, and questioning my online friendships. Elite Daily’s “Could It Be? Millennials Are The New Hippies But With Better Weed” is one of those articles. The article appeared on the website this week and quickly gained popularity for all the wrong reasons. I say that because, although author Lauren “LMoney” Martin (ugh) bills herself as a “comedy writer,” and the piece appears satirical, it seems that just about everyRead More

Hosting the Olympics is like the real world equivalent of running for Senior Class President in high school. You’re put under the magnifying glass and just asking to be critiqued and ridiculed. Everything you do is being translated to people of very different backgrounds. And every once in a while, there’s a slim chance that you might just be epically successful. Key words: slim chance. The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi are not off to a great start in their bid for epic success. Even before the games began thisRead More

The latest in WTF News from the past week includes some truly wacky stories. Enjoy. Teen Takes Selfie with Dead Body So I’ve never been into the whole “selfie” phenomena, but this girl gets the ultimate fail. A senior at Clements High School in Alabama took a selfie with a cadaver during an anatomy field trip to the University of Alabama. The University states, “sheets were not supposed to be removed from donated bodies and that under no circumstance were students or any other visitors supposed to have cell phonesRead More

In the cluttered world of YouTube, it’s often difficult to decide what to watch.  Between the sea of cat videos, epic meal suggestions, and the ever-growing FAIL catalogue, it can sometimes seem like you’d break a greater mental sweat (*ahem) “brushing up on your typing skills” than keeping up with your subscriptions. Luckily, there are oases scattered across the brain-dead wasteland of YouTube, the most refreshing of which is provided by none other than the Public Broadcast Service.  Hosted by spirited think-geek Mike Rugnetta (@mikerugnetta), PBS’s Idea Channel deconstructs InternetRead More

Philip Seymour Hoffman overdosed on something that he loved, or at least couldn’t live without.  This is a list of things that I think I love enough (or at least, if introduced to, couldn’t go without) to overdose on.   Root Beer You don’t need an ID to purchase it and it goes great with every meal… Root Beer truly is the swing-man of the beverage world.  What kid hasn’t pretended to get drunk off of IBC?  Now imagine drowning yourself in a pool of it.  Commence the salivating.  Read More
