Culture Buzz Let this be inspiration for all of you who are too self-conscious to walk outside in that tuxedo so you can ride your moped to the local Walmart. Just do you, 'cause HATERS GONNA HATE.
Sports Buzz On the first day of the season, TNT aired the “NBA Forever” commercial, and it was perfect. Since then, a few skilled fans created versions on YouTube showcasing the history of their teams. Are there enough NBA fans with video editing game out there so that every team can get a remix? Note: This is a thinly veiled call-to-action for basketball lovers to make more of these videos immediately.
Tech Buzz So everyone knows the internet regurgitates cultural garbage over and over again until it becomes gibberish. And it’s been doing that for a really long time. So dig through your Livejournals and YTMND accounts and let us know what the oldest meme you can remember is.
Culture Buzz Mee-wow! On Reddit, frackyou writes, “So my little cousin posted on Facebook that he was bored and gave everyone his new phone number.” Maximum trolling ensued.
Culture Buzz The London-based ideas agency Syzygy created this gorgeous illustration depicting the “20 greatest, funniest and most insane internet events from 2011.” Can you identify all of them?
Culture Buzz “I don’t do Brooklyn.” Yes, the “Shit People Say” video meme is past its prime. And yes, many of the more recent versions were lackluster. That said, this one—written by and starring Eliot Glazer along with his sister, Ilana—is pretty much pitch-perfect.
The controversial SOPA - Stop Online Piracy Act has been stopped dead in its tracks in the House. Until there is broader consensus among the lawmakers about legislation that would crack down on foreign Web sites that infringe on U.S. copyright material and counterfeit goods, Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R.-Va.) has agreed SOPA would not come before the House for a vote.
SOPA and PIPA are the only things that can threaten to stop Nyan Cat. 21st Street Games made these awesome posters to help keep the government from ruining the Internet. Spread them at will!
Culture Buzz When this image surfaced yesterday and went viral, there was simply no way around the inevitable meme of an eel that tells terrible jokes and fish puns. Here are his “best” witticisms.

Silly Internet, you aren't television. You don't even have agents. Get down from there.
Culture Buzz Last night was the third annual Hallowmeme party and it was simply awesome. I can't wait for next year.
Hipster Cop + QWOP = Hipster QWOP. It's like the ultimate superhero pairing. This is the first serendipitous outcome of the Hallow-meme extravaganza that's taking place tonight.
Movie Buzz Disney is awesome, and face swaps are hilarious. Together they are unstoppable! Thank you, Disney Face Swap. You made my day ten times better. (Hat tip to Paul!)
Culture Buzz An actual teacher responded with her own reasoning towards to the “Unhelpful High School Teacher” meme. As the son of a teacher, I have to agree with most of her responses. (via angwe.tumblr.com)
Something to think about while you get started on that Excel spreadsheet.

When I first took note of the Successful Black Man meme bumping around the web I thought, “Well that might be offensive to some.” However, it almost always made me laugh, though I'll admit to feeling kind of guilty for doing so. But now you can check out the funniest ones and feel guilty, too!
And you thought these reactions were bad. A million face palms is not…
