Afrigadget
Culture Buzz Afrigadget is a website chronicling ingenuity of African inventors who use simple materials to solve big problems. Yay uplifting Bono-free news from Africa. My favorites are the home-made helicopter, the Knife Sharpening Bicycle and the Solar Powered Mobile Phone Charger.

The War On Millennials
Culture Buzz Hated equally by Gen X and the Greatest Generation, the up-and-coming Millennials are coming under fire. Re-heated generational stereotypes, or legitimate cultural fisticuffs? You be the judge.

Rape Kits
Culture Buzz These kits help women collect evidence on their own after a rape, but were always prohibitively expensive. Starting in 2009, all states will be required to pay for anonymous rape kits in order to continue receiving funding. Well, there’s not much good news to give rape victims, but at least now, prosecuting rape cases will get a lot easier starting in 2009. It’s nice to see our country progressing in some form.

Nice New Yorkers
Culture Buzz Joan Acocella, a Manhattanite herself, answers in Smithsonian why her fellow city dwellers are so often thought to be rude - it’s because they’re smart! As New Yorkers, we must admit we would have trouble imagining Ms. Acocella coming to our overpriced, underwhelming outer-borough apartment and thinking us Mensa material.

Slow Dancing
Culture Buzz In Argentina, a new movement to bring back slowing dancing attracted 4,000 people to an outdoor slow dance party. The revelers, who learned of the event via Facebook and mass emails, danced to hits like Peter Cetera’s “The Glory of Love,” Bryan Adams’ “(Everything I Do) I Do it For You,” and Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.” Although the event turned out to be a marketing campaign for Doritos, please let this catch on. I would love it if 8th grade graduation-style dances were the next New Rave.

World’s Ugliest Dogs
Culture Buzz The voting is now open for the 2008 annual World’s Ugliest Dog contest. Cast your vote now! Even though he already won last year, I’m rooting for Elwood (pictured). The mohawk and lolling tongue rival the cuteness of any goldendoodle.

Green Puppy
Culture Buzz A golden retriever is born in New Orleans with green fur. The puppy is supposedly healthy, with fur that will turn white or tan in a few weeks. Awww. This puppy is such an adorable shade of phlegm green. But it’s still not okay when crazy old ladies dye their poodles pink.

Your Mom
Culture Buzz It’s Mother’s Day on Sunday. What have you done for your mom recently? We were going to put together a heart-warming tribute to moms, but instead we found a group of sites doing a variation on the Your Mom joke theme.

Jenna Bush’s Wedding
Culture Buzz President Bush is in the news once again, but only because his daughter’s getting married in Texas. We wonder what kind of nickname he’s given his soon-to-be son-in-law.

Lists Of Things Men Should Know

Salvia Tripping Videos
Culture Buzz People like filming their friends tripping on salvia almost as much as doing it themselves. New York lawmakers are pushing to outlaw salvia divinorum, the as-yet totally legal hallucinogen, in part because of the many funny YouTube videos of people falling over and laughing.

YAWNS
Culture Buzz An acronym for “Young and Wealthy but Normal” - a certain kind of person who forgoes luxury to change the world. Yawn. I just almost fell asleep sitting up while posting this trend. But it’s so much harder to hate yuppies when they actually care about something.

Sad Kermit
Culture Buzz Sad Kermit, who covers the saddest songs ever, has a new video where he re-enacts the attempted suicide scene from The Royal Tenenbaums. I always knew from watching the Muppet Babies that Kermit would grow up to be the emo one.
