Celebrity Buzz Jon Gosselin is hanging up the Ed Hardy and taking things back to a simpler time in his life. Two things: First, Jon Gosselin is one of the most awkward actors I've ever seen. Second, this was clearly his PR guy's idea.
Culture Buzz A button, a briefcase, and a devastating moral dilemma. The most suspenseful Funny or Die video you'll watch all year. (Via.)
Culture Buzz Douchebags finally unite and stand up for themselves. Watch this heartwarming short, then go find a douchebag you know and give him a great big hug. (Via.)
No matter what side of the health reform debate you fall on, Funny Or Die reminds us that the true victims of reform are the massive insurance companies.
Culture Buzz Aspen and Wendy are effete straight dudes (from new and old money, respectively) livin' the life of the young, rich, and atrocious in L.A. Wait for the scene at the club to understand why *some* of us prefer quiet nights at home. Ahem.
Food Buzz PETA made this Funny Or Die video starring Andy Dick as Ronald McDonald and Martin Short reprising his classic role as Jiminy Glick. It's nice to see Martin Short doing something productive. Also, Andy Dick is a really weird person.
Culture Buzz It's nice to see Mandy Moore back with that unrelentless enthusiasm that she harnessed in Saved.
Social networking threats are the new threats of physical violence. The Funny Or Die link if they take this down.

Celebrity Buzz Betty White (and Sandra Bullock) dress down Ryan Reynolds in this “behind-the-scenes” video that, by the looks of the trailer, is a lot funnier than their upcoming flick, The Proposal. And, for the record, we'd also like to dress down Ryan Reynolds, but less so in shattering his ego and more so in removing his underpants.
Comedian and YouTube star Jon LaJoie's third installment of his MC Vagina series. Here's E=MC Vagina in case you missed it. I can't believe this guy isn't on the Demetri Martin level of success yet. Or maybe he is and I've just been living under a rock?
Celebrity Buzz Will Ferrell's new Funny or Die video is a moving tribute to the ancient art of bat-fighting.
Celebrity Buzz You though the Internet was all about bacon, the pork product, but actually it was about Kevin Bacon — who introduces his own prank show (walking the footsteps of Ashton's Punk'd, OJ's Juice'd and the upcoming amazingness that will be Howie Do It — yes, that's Howie Mandel).

The electro-band Chromeo does a spoof on The Hills. I can’t believe I never thought of P-Thugg as a nickname for myself until now.
Politics Buzz Funny or Die has a video of Gina Gershon playing Sarah Palin, answering her critics on all the tough issues. Ugh! Now you’re sort of forced to think Sarah Palin is hot.
Business Buzz For a rumored $10M, HBO has staked claim of 10% of Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s site (made famous by “The Landlord”), including five hours of TV programming and possibly live comedy.

Movie Buzz Funny Or Die has picked the movie at random and called together an Internet campaign to turn the 1993 flop into a cult favorite. Now we know what Buzzfeed would have looked like in 1993! And who said irony was dead?
