Michel Gondry gave rise to a viral trend in Be Kind Rewind called 'sweding', when the character Jerry had to remake a bunch of films with limited budgets after accidentally erasing all of the videos at Mos Def's rental store. The sweded movies were such a hit with movie watchers in the movie itself,... Read More
It's official: Americans hate Justin Bieber. Overwhelmingly. Public Policy Polling, one of those places that gather statistics, asked people their opinions of the current wave of crappy pop stars like Biebs, Taylor Swift, etc. Bieber scored the worst at 54% unlikeable, only a 20% likeable, and the rest...

For years and years and years, you probably thought that the CBS logo was an eye. An oddly-shaped eye with puffy lids, puffy eye bags, and a pupil that was way too huge--but it was still an eye nonetheless.

A 10-foot-tall statue of Robocop is almost complete and will go up somewhere in the Motor City. It started, like everything these days, on Kickstarter. A group, (probably of nerd potheads), thought it would be awesome to put up a statue of Murphy in his home city of Detroit. The statue only needs its... Read More
In a weird way, infomercials are fun to watch. Most of them talk about stuff and offer products you don't need, but there's just something about how they try to engage you that makes it interesting. Probably because most of the people on them look like they're practically begging you to call the number... Read More
I continue my quest to find the cream of the crap in Netflix Instant's library of streaming celluloid diarrhea with a classic tale of a magic and guys in fur panties. I'm talking about the classically awful 1984 sword and sorcery epic Conan the Destroyer. Arnold Schwarzenegger had rocketed to fame a... Read More
China's known for a lot of stuff: cheap labor, the Great Wall, shameless knockoffs, the one-child policy. Now it's about to be known as the country having the world's largest peen. We're not talking about some Chinese dude who grew a ginormous wang; rather, we're talking about the new headquarters for... Read More
The Vatican has declared war on La Santa Muerte. No, this is not the plot of a crappy Dan Brown novel. For those of you that are too gringofied to know, La Santa Muerte is a popular religious figure in Mexico and much of Latin America. Basically it's the grim reaper but she's a chick. People pray to... Read More
Five dollars might not seem like much, but it could buy you a whole crapload of bananas if you're broke and hungry--that is, if you happen to be in Ethiopia. You probably won't ever go hungry even with meager savings because if five bucks can get you 25 pounds of bananas, how much more can a hundred... Read More

The thing about being connected 24/7 is that it gives people more opportunities to run off at the mouth and make fools of themselves. It's bad for them but great for us, because where else are we supposed to get our daily comic relief? At the top of the list are celebs. You might think that they'd... Read More
A video of a couple appearing to breakup on the kiss-cam at a Grizzlies game is making the rounds this week.

The list of things that are going to kill us increased this week when a friggin' sea monster washed up on a beach in New Zealand. The creature was found by some Kiwis, (People from New Zealand not the fruit), on Pukehina Beach in the Bay of Plenty. The initial reaction to the horrifying beast was, "Crikey,... Read More
