It's like strip poker, but way more likely to get you arrested. Joshua Sizemore, 23, and Amanda Madison, 18, were caught throwing rocks at cars from a bridge. They were down to their underwear at the time of their arrest because the exciting game they'd invented involved losing an item of clothing for every headlight they managed to bust. Sounds fun!

A NYT photographer films kids' expressions as they play video games. It's weirdly existential and also more animated than you would think—except for that one sad girl. Someone needs to send her Wii Carnival Games.

TECH BUZZ: Tavi is a twelve-year-old blogger whose tragically hip musings, iconic sense of style, and actually funny sense of humor (her favorite foods are “raspberries and hipsters”) somehow make us even more embarrassed when we remember how we behaved at that age (although fart jokes still count as funny…right?). It's as if Angela Chase and Juno had a baby that was outfitted by Amelie and tutored by Amy Sedaris and Miranda July. Hipster mindf*ck!

CULTURE BUZZ: Producers likely inspired by the jaw-dropping profit of High School Musical are debuting in this new musical led by a cast comprised exclusively of teenagers. Written about a New York-bred kid whose family picks up and moves to Indiana, the bar mitzvah boy (yes, seriously) has to deal with adjusting to life in a brand new school. And with the website touting players based on stock characters like “gossip,” “jock,” “beauty,” and “wannabe,” parents in the audience can expect to be involuntarily overcome with memories of acne, bad fashion, and awkward dating rituals.

Why are videos of children causing themselves harm so endlessly amusing? The people who film their kids hurting themselves (and each other) have turned YouTube into one large America’s Funniest Home Videos , which is just fine by me (though I’d be even more excited about videos of Bob Saget getting hurt).

MOVIE BUZZ: MTV — the same network that made bisexuality the basis for a game show — is remaking the 1975 cult classic. If Chris Crocker ends up as the “sweet transvestite,” we’re totally boycotting. (Oh, who are we kidding? We’re so watching.)

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.

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 .

SCIENCE BUZZ: Childhood obesity rates among American kids may have finally leveled off after years of rising steadily.

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.

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.
