Emerald Catron — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:03:35 +0000

Guys, pageant contestants aren’t just pretty faces — they’re also extremely capable of saying things so incoherently stupid that it gives you a headache. Here was the question: “A recent report shows that in 40& of American families with children, women are the primary earners, yet they continue to earn less than men. What does [...]

11 GIFs That Prove Parkour Is a Really Bad Idea

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:10:51 +0000

If you’ve never heard of parkour, it’s basically when someone jumps and swings and flips on things like brick walls, cement steps and metal railings. Crazy, right? And people only use their superhuman skills to pull off these stunts; no equipment is allowed. So let’s think about this– if you’re rolling down cement steps or [...]

13 Unfortunately Placed Price Tags

Emerald Catron — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:04:42 +0000

Having done our fair share of time in retail, we’re willing to bet these price tag placements were all intentional — probably done by some poor soul about 10 days away from quitting their job. Doesn’t make them not funny. How could feeding your cat something called “anal fantasy” not be funny? It’s like you [...]

Either way, cutting the relationship cord has gotten a bit easier ever since text messaging hit the scene. As it turns out, break up texts can be hilarious. Saying [...]

Never Do 'The Harlem Shake' By a Bonfire, People

Eddie Wright — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:49:09 +0000

They said the ‘Harlem Shake‘ was hot, but this is ridiculous. In case you were living in a cave for the past few months, the ‘Harlem Shake’ is a silly viral video trend that involves one guy or gal dancing alone to the dubstep-y Baauer tune. Then as the music reaches its crescendo, a big [...]

Zooey Deschanel Mistakenly Named a Boston Bombing Suspect

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:46:20 +0000

It's hard to imagine 'New Girl' star Zooey Deschanel as anything besides a wide-eyed, manic-pixie dream girl who just wants to spread good vibes and quirkiness.

Which is why folks in Dallas must've been a bit confused on Friday when the local Fox affiliate fingered Deschanel as a suspect in last week's tragic Boston Marathon bombing. "He is 19 year old Zoey Deschanel," read the caption, which was meant to refer to the now captured Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev.

19 Fails That Probably Cost Someone Their Job

Emerald Catron — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:51:44 +0000

Listen, we get it. Of all people, we get it. Sometimes you let an errant comma slip. Maybe you don't notice that something is a sentence fragment because you're riding the waves of hangover nausea. We understand that sometimes being an editor is rough, but how the how do you wind up with a headline that looks like it says "Rapefruit Good for every meal"?

Boat Tow Goes Horribly, Horribly Wrong

Emerald Catron — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 18:44:20 +0000

When we saw the way the camera was oriented in this video we got a bad feeling. When the first words we heard were a man screaming “YIPSKIDDLY DOO,” it got worse. When the guy providing the tow started shouting for a beer, the wincing began. And then it happened. And we felt terrible. Source: [...]
