There are traditions many us are accustomed to, traditions like Christmas, having a Bar/Bat Mitzvah or getting paddled during initiation by your fraternity brothers. Other cultures participate in rituals just a little more intense than our own.
I guess some people are made of money? An unemployed Irish artist has built a home from the shredded remains of 1.4 billion euros ($1.82 billion).
Under all that orange is just a normal girl trying to get out. The Jersey Shore star looks surprisingly good stripped of all that spray tan and the five pounds of make up (even if she’s still sporting her signature duck face).
Here’s a safety tip: Don’t do this. Not at home. Not ever.
In Bellflower, CA a cop was video taped striking a handicapped woman on the bus. According to a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office, the woman, who’s name was not given, has a previous record of assaulting police. That still doesn’t excuse an officer punching her in the face when she wasn’t resisting arrest. Luckily veteran Jermaine Green was there to catch the whole incident on his phone.

With The Dark Knight Rises set to release in July of this year, Christian Bale is back and looking pretty fine. But there’s something about this method actor that is somewhat unsettling. Maybe it’s the fact that he’s willing to starve himself to the brink of hair loss, or all of those temper tantrums he has on the set of productions.
Billboards are everywhere and are pretty much unavoidable. Sometimes, advertisers like to demonstrate a little creativity: a pun here, a touching sentiment there. I’m not sure if they know what the word “creativity” means.
They don’t use hands even when defending themselves against crazy people. That’s AZ Alkmaar goalkeeper Esteban Alvarado booting a fan of the opposing team who rushed him during a match in Amsterdam.
Yeah, Charles Manson is crazy. Crazy about LMFAO! Heyoo! (via reddit.com)
Lady Gaga’s public appearances have become somewhat of a commodity. Whatever she wears next is bound to be edgy, a dash of crazy and pretty much all terrifying. With razor sharp finger nails (and cheek bones), plenty of pasties, and even some blood, she did not let us down in 2011.
Sue Shefman really loves hippos. Hippo-mobile aside, the Texas native owns more than 920 hippo-related items. And that, my friends, is pretty crazy. (via abcnews.go.com)
People do crazy things when they’re in love. And some people do crazy things because they’re crazy.
Crazy…or awesome? You be the judge.
Liz Jones, women everywhere demand you stop associating yourself with them immediately. Nothing about what you did was “normal”.
Don’t cross Klaus. And don’t ever look at him in the eyes. He has crazy eyes. (via reddit.com) View Image ›
In my opinion, the best part of any sci-fi/fantasy movie is the scenery. Production companies spend millions of dollars on special effects to get the landscapes of their planets just right. What those producers might not realize is that you can find the same amazing occurrences (colored rain! glowing caves!) on Earth, sans special effects or CGI. View List ›
And they don’t even tell him what the charges are. Don’t they have to tell him what he’s being arrested for? I don’t think “It doesn’t matter” is a legitimate answer officer. (via 973thedawg.com) Watch Video ›
I’m formally submitting this to National Geographic’s eventual “Best Photographs of 2011” list because this is simply perfect.

Gawker’s Matt Cherette did the Internet a favor and chopped up Mariah Carey’s insane two-hour appearance on the Home Shopping Network down to a digestible four-minute video. (via twitter.com)
Oregon Democrat David Wu has been getting psychiatric treatment since February and and allegedly made a pass at a campaign donor’s teen-aged daughter. Oh, and he’s probably a furry. Do yourself a favor and read more about the new Anthony Weiner at Willamette Week and Wonkette. UPDATE: Under mounting pressure from his own party, David Wu has announced he will resign from Congress. (via wonkette.com) View List ›
Last Thursday, just before midnight, a fervent Christian went down to the AMC on 34th and 8th in Manhattan and attempted to turn people away from seeing the last Potter movie ever. It all ends here. Watch Video ›

Only the greatest hits in this post. 18 photos and 2 videos. The 2 videos count as .2 photos because that’s how the metric system works. 1 pic = 1000 words = 10 videos. That’s just science. Now off to nostalgia. View List ›

Because those dastardly gays would never look for her there! Before she was pro marriage equality, Michelle Bachmann staked out equal rights rallies like some sort of urban Jane Goodall. View Image ›
A naked 20-year-old man in Overland Park, Kansas is caught on cell phone camera as he runs in and out of traffic, then dives into a public swimming pool full of children. That’s one way to beat the heat (and get escorted by police to the psych ward). View List ›
Get ready to start tappin’ that old button cuz this blast from the past still blows my mind. Thanks to Kotaku’s Heroes Of Arcade Insanity for the reminder! Watch Video ›
Well, that didn’t take long. All of the purported inconsistencies and mysterious anomalies with President Obama’s long form birth certificate. And this is only within the first few hours of the document’s release. Give the Birthers a few days to come up with some really juicy stuff. Between this and the conspiracy theories about Osama bin Laden’s death, they’re going to be very busy. View List ›
