The owner of this out-of-control dog says some of the awesomest things. Meanwhile, the dorky lawyer who got bitten needs to STFU and recognize that he is in the presence of pure Internet gold.
It's kind of like a Zen approach to cat-fighting. But more to the point - what the hell is up with these two? They look like stuffed animals! (Via.
The incredibly patient artist known as PES put together this short stop motion vid of candy fireworks, combining my two greatest passions: Explosives and sugar. This is beautiful.
Now this right here, is some real American art. It's an entry for the Minneapolis Star Tribune's hot dog dressing contest. USA!
This is video of a billboard in New Zealand that bleeds when it rains. It's pretty terrifying, but according to the ad agency, there hasn't been a fatality since.
Here's a clip from a new BBC documentary called “Britney Spears Saved My Life.” The director says the documentary is about the “healing power of pop music.” I have to see this, but personally, I doubt these people can top my crazy.
Every day NASA features a picture of “our fascinating universe.” Today's picture is of Mount Rushmore at night. Yeah, America! We own Space.
Culture Buzz Yeah, it's Fourth of July. But did you know that the biggest Furry Convention in the world is also going on this weekend? Yes, Anderson Cooper brought it to my attention. I really wish I could go this year, but instead I'm in Denmark, the country with supposedly the highest population of happy people (ugh).
Cat meows and enjoys being hit by a cardboard tube. Seems like this guy has a kinky relationship with his cat.
Adorable children take on our nation's proudest oaths — from the Pledge of Allegiance to the Star Spangled Banner. See the rest at Urlesque. If anything, this really shows that there are some seriously difficult words to pronounce in the Pledge of Allegiance. Maybe we owe it to our forefathers to modernize a bit? Set it to “Row, Row, Row Your Boat?”
Culture Buzz Happy July 4th weekend! In honor of our great country and the many things we've achieved, here are a bunch of people shooting rockets out of their butts. America: land that I love.
… And it was made entirely out of post-it notes, so it's got pretty much all the trappings of one of those videos that one watches. I like it. I'm guessing this took a long time to do. More exciting post-it note action linked below. (Via.)
The president gives a rousing speech about the fourth of July. Really moving stuff. Happy Independence Day everyone.
This is just like that Coffee Smile that was going around a while back. Except, like, just juvenile and gross and stupid, instead of uplifting. Happy Holiday!
Culture Buzz If this little guy had an Indian name, it would be Tiny Walksahorse. Because he's tiny and he walks a horse. Also, “Indian name” sounds terrible. Back to the stupid video!
[Editor's note OK, just one more remix of the WoW Freakout kid. This one's amazing.]
You can't make this stuff up. Two Mexican wrestlers from the “Lucha Mini” league were poisoned by two women posing at prostitutes. The wrestlers picked up the fake prostitutes (they're actually part of a gang) after a match and brought them to their hotel. The women spiked their drinks and robbed them. They never woke up. This is a picture from their funeral.
Photographer Mark Andrew had the idea of contacting the people behind Craigslist classified ads and documenting them in their home surroundings. It's kind of nice to put faces together with those (often weird) postings. Check the gallery of his work.
The woman in this picture steals the show. I can't help but wonder what she's thinking? It's 46.5 inches long!
