Culture Buzz Even the worst movies have their fans.

And this atrocious incident is hardly an isolated case. According to statistics, from 2003 to 2010, 452 indigenous people were murdered in Brazil, though the actual number could be much higher given the intimidation that keeps isolated tribes from coming forward.
Culture Buzz They sold a lot of different stuff. They must be a very successful store…
Sports Buzz It may not be available on Amazon right now, but signed copies of the memoir that everyone's cringing over can be had on eBay. To quote the seller's description: “Burn in Hell Jerry!”
There's something about it that doesn't seem totally legitimate. I can't quite figure out why… (Thanks Matt!) (via amazon.com)
Nailed it. These charts illustrate how six of the biggest tech companies are organized. (via bonkersworld.net)
Culture Buzz Borders failed to reach a deal to save its remaining 400 stores and 11,000 jobs so will instead close its doors forever. Below I've posted a few pictures from our post of their initial round of store closings to remind you of the bankrupt bookstore's sense of humor which will be lost along with the company very soon.

This seasons must have new children's book for overworked parents. The cats nestle close to their kittens now. The lambs have laid down with the sheep. You're cozy and warm in your bed, my dear Please go the fuck to sleep. From the Amazon listing: Go the Fuck To Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don't always send a toddler sailing off to dreamland. Honest, profane, and affectionate, Adam Mansbach's verses and Ricardo Cortés' illustrations perfectly capture the familiar—and unspoken—tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night, and open up a conversation about parenting in the process. Beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny, Go the Fuck to Sleep is a perfect gift for parents new, old, or expectant. Here is a sample verse:

Culture Buzz I guess there's a market for everything. Thanks to Your Amazon is Irrelevant for finding these.
Business Buzz A collection of the most unhelpful “helpful reviews” for mostly inane products sold on Amazon.com. I'm starting to think that people don't take the product reviews very seriously.
Tech Buzz Amazon is out of stock, but you can still read reviews while Breguet forges new Tourbillon Messidors in the fires of Mount Doom. Can't wait for these to come back in stock, this $111,000 I have isn't going to spend itself.
Culture Buzz I believe I speak for a fair share of Buzzfeed readers when I say that Everyone Poops by Taro Gomi was a household staple when we were little. The book, as far as we could tell, was not meant to be anything more than an amusing perspective on a taboo subject. But these reviews take it to a wholllle new level.
Science Buzz Paying $151.01 for a life-sized model of a scrotum and testicles made from Biolike synthetic tissue with two simulated tumors embedded in each testicle may seem nuts to you. But reading through the user reviews, you'll see that it's applications are so universal that it practically pays for itself.
I'm going to have to remember not to purchase those cables, no matter what the voices may tell me. Another set of hilarious Amazon pen reviews can be found here.
