Andy Rooney's Sage Wisdom [VIDEO]
Culture Buzz With Andy Rooney's passing on Friday night, the world must not forget the curmudgeon humor he brought to television and the CBS news show 60 Minutes. Rooney was best known for his wry, contentious demeanor in his T.V. essay program that he's since been credited to pioneering. His sage wisdom and sharp wit will be remembered, especially since Youtube is a thing now. And Andy Rooney probably hated Youtube.

Video: Howard Stern vs. Sarah Palin (NSFW)
Howard Stern had some choice words for Sarah Palin regarding her handling of the shooting in Tucson.

Because Howard Stern's the political commentator America deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

Image: 9/11 in McMembrance Painting
For just $50 you can class up your home or office with this 9/11 commemorative painting straight out of an imaginary alternate reality. I'll let the seller explain: “In an alternate universe after 9/11 (our nation's tragedy) McDonald's builds a giant GOLDEN ARCHES memorial to replace the fallen World Trade Towers. THEN, they go ahead and sell paintings of said memorial. This is that painting, and when you buy it you are living in that alternative universe. Go ahead, quit your job. It's the end of the world as you know it and you feel like eating a Whopper. Burger King is pretty good!”

The account is locked and stripped of sensitive information, so people can come and pay their respects. This is both a very noble gesture, and the basis for a number of new Facebook related pranks.
