Birth Control Extremists
Culture Buzz Young men these days are turning to vasectomies because of pregnancy fears. Details magazine writes that simple vasectomy surgery is the new thing with young guys who don't want to become fathers. Like tattoos, vasectomies are probably best followed-through on after at least a year of thinking about it, and/or never.

Fred
Tech Buzz A 14-year-old who talks like a chipmunk has YouTube's fourth most-subscribed video channel. If you haven't heard of Fred, don't sweat it -- you're probably older than 14. And you may have an aversion to listening to someone screech instead of speak. But 270,000 YouTube subscribers can't be wrong, can they? Can they!?

Boob Punching
Culture Buzz A long-simmering YouTube meme: The boob punch. G4's Attack of the Show categorizes the various types of boob punches, from the comedic mis-slap to the potentially tissue-damaging. Disturbing trend or hilarious meme? You get to judge.

Denny’s Rocks!
Business Buzz The restaurant chain best known for not serving Asians and smelling like old people is trying to woo a younger, late-night crowd by "playing rock after midnight, allowing servers to dress casually, and serving bar food like 'potachoes.'" (Fried food with silly names - just like on Cheers!) They've also launched a site whereupon you vote for your favorite band, and the winner receives free Denny's while on tour. So if you've ever thought about picking up a guitar, now might be the time. Just imagine: cheering fans, tireless groupies, and free mushroom swiss chopped steak. Every. Single. Day.

Down Syndrome Dolls
Culture Buzz Dolls made to resemble kids with Down Syndrome: politically correct attempt at inclusion or cringe-inducing marketing plan at the expense of kids? Some might consider these dolls offensive, but has anyone seen the Bratz dolls? Those things are straight-up creepy. (Honestly, when did little girls start aspiring to look like drag queens? Oh yeah .)

YouTube Annotations
Tech Buzz The omnipresent video site has debuted a new feature, which allows for interactive commentary layered directly into the clips. It's like Choose Your Own Adventure, but without the requirement of turning pages! Kids get it so easy these days...

Fat Kids
Science Buzz Childhood obesity rates among American kids may have finally leveled off after years of rising steadily. Perhaps parents have finally learned that three cheeseburgers isn't going to help Jack and Jill climb the hill to fetch a pail of water (unless, of course, it's a pail of cheeseburgers).

Exiled
TV Buzz MTV's spinoff to My Super Sweet Sixteen will send fan "favorites" to third world countries, where they'll learn truly valuable lessons in how to be less terrible human beings. With The Paper receiving rave reviews across the board, it was only a matter of time before the network reset their focus on the crux of their most successful programming: spoiled brats.

Miley Cyrus In Vanity Fair
Celebrity Buzz Instead of MySpace, this time revealing photos of the Disney star are appearing in the pages of Vanity Fair. Cyrus is now calling the spread, shot by Annie Leibovitz, "embarassing," though the magazine says she and her minders signed off on all the images when they were taken and that the shot is simply "artistic."

The Paper
TV Buzz MTV's new reality show is set at Cypress Bay High School, but the focus this time is on four students vying to become Editor-In-Chief of the school's newspaper The Circuit. If only they turned it into a musical where Zac Efron got to sing a ballad about bylines and smudged ink...

Ultimate Fighting For Kids
Sports Buzz Kids are learning cage fighting techniques and mixed martial arts. This might change your math if you've been trying to figure out how many five-year-olds you could fight at once.

The Abercrombie Ward
Culture Buzz Youth advocates are none too happy about a children's hospital in Ohio set to be named after Abercrombie & Fitch, following the retailer's donation of $10 million to their Emergency and Trauma department. In spite of Abercrombie's hypersexualized reputation, everyone should bear in mind that "sexy nurses" only come out at Halloween. During the rest of the year, it's nothing but teddy bear scrubs and cigarette breath, likely to force no child into early puberty.

The All-For-Nots
Tech Buzz The people who brought you The 'Burg deliver a new web comedy about a fictional indie rock band. Slated to perform at South By Southwest, The All-For-Nots shouldn't fare too poorly (especially with former Disney honcho Michael Eisner voraciously backing them). We would have given pretty much anything to have seen Zack Attack back in the day.

Build-a-Bear Scandal
Business Buzz The validity of toy manufacturing giant's methodology for attaining personal information from tot customers comes into question. See, not all hackers are disgruntled and pasty. Some are extremely squeezable!
