What are the odds that a very joyful lady will dance in the background, while a very pained young woman will yell at her boyfriend in the foreground while the song “Joy and Pain” by Rob Base plays… and someone is there to catch it all on video? (via)

Jonathan Lee Riches is suing the Guinness Book of World Records for saying that he holds the record for suing the most people ever. The more than 4,000 persons, objects, or concepts he has previously filed suit against include: Britney Spears, the Eiffel Tower, Somali pirates, Perez Hilton, the Garden of Eden, Emilio Estevez, Nordic Gods, the Appalachian Trail, and “Various Buddhist Monks.”
You'll never guess. Gerry Pasciucco (formerly of Morgan Stanley) currently heads AIG's disgraced Financial Products division (yup, the one that caused all that trouble). I can't decide whether this is humorously ironic or frighteningly deluded.
There's probably some irony in the fact that this image from Christopher David Ryan's “commands” series is doing the rounds today. Sometimes “Command C” is just easier, I guess. Also, what's with the bias towards Mac users? Regardless, this is pretty awesome. (Prints are available for purchase.)
Learn how to run a successful TV advertising campaign, from some folks who are obviously experts. The key is, to spend less on production. Like, a lot less.
One wonders if the manufacturers of this product are evil or just stupid. Gold star for anyone who can post an equivalently diabolical example of irony.
Science Buzz There's been a wee bit of a setback to Al-Qaeda's dastardly plans this week, as they've all been coming down with the black plague. A terrorist cell in Algeria was first struck with the black death, and the disease may have spread to other Al-Qaeda camps and to the Taliban. Apparently that stuff is pretty contagious. On a much scarier note, some people are speculating that the group may have been experimenting with biological weapons.
This band is like if Insane Clown Posse decided to become a boy band. If you like this, I think their EP is exclusively available at a Hot Topic near you.
Culture Buzz Dave Freeman, author of ‘100 Things To Do Before You Die’, died after hitting his head at home at 47. Relatives say that he had visited about half of the places listed in the book, which included such places as the Academy Awards to a voodoo pilgrimage in Haiti. RIP Dave.
The Library of Congress produces a braille version of the girlie magazine. I guess the blind are the only people who actually do read Playboy for the articles.
Style Buzz So much for nuns and Mexican ladies having all the fun! One jewelry designer is making the Catholic prayer beads available to all the nice Jewish girls and boys. Who would’ve thought a simple accessory might finally bring an end to the war that brews in Williamsburg?
Celebrity Buzz The 19-year-old actress who played the youngest daughter on the Christianity-themed show 7th Heaven has been caught kissing girls. 7th Heaven, being one of the most painfully boring family shows to ever exist, could have really used a lesbian tryst to spice things up.
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?
