Politics Buzz “I am proud of you,” the student signed. “Thank you,” Obama signed back.
Culture Buzz Why, I oughta…!!! Spotted in Brooklyn, specifically the Park Slope neighborhood.
Culture Buzz It may not be an entirely accurate celebration (this Bill Murray smirk is from “Stripes”), but it’s definitely righteous. Spotted Thursday afternoon on the corner of E. Burnside and 14th Ave.
Sports Buzz Spotted on national television at the Green Bay/Chicago game on Sunday night. That's Annie Wagner, and she is not fond of her (now ex) boyfriend. Hell hath no fury like a Packers fan scorned.
Culture Buzz As a cute way to promote pedestrian and cyclist safety, New York City is planting over 200 of these nicely illustrated bits of poetry at busy intersections. Hopefully pedestrians and cyclists aren't so distracted by artist John Morse's cleverness they ironically cause an accident.
Culture Buzz Spotted at a bar bathroom in Brooklyn. Don't want to get any Santorum in your beer.
Spotted in Seattle, hometown of Amanda Knox. Should we give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they don't know she was acquitted of a horrific stabbing murder? Nah.
The seafood lovers of Wilmington, North Carolina, applaud you. (via.)
One of the funniest parking signs I've seen in some time. McBrilliant. (via reddit.com)
Helpful old sages aren't just for Hyrulians anymore. I'd certainly feel a lot better with a tiny paper sword to protect myself. (via ianbrooks.tumblr.com)
Politics Buzz Excerpts from the document signed by Michele Bachmann that's drawing allegations of racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-Islamic sentiment and general cuckoo bananas whackadoodie. It's a pledge from a conservative advocacy group out of Iowa called The Family Leader—affiliated with Focus on the Family—asking Republican presidential candidates to denounce single parents, women in combat and anything with even the faintest whiff of gay. Oh, and it seems to be wistful for the days of slavery. If none of that frightens you, it also essentially calls for a ban of all pornography. Michele Bachmann was the first of the GOP field to apply her Hancock. Here are some select passages from The Marriage Vow, along with photos of its earliest and most enthusiastic signatory.
Despite almost unimaginable carnage from the recent tornado, as this AP photo of a destroyed home in Joplin demonstrates, these people are showing a remarkably resilient sense of humor. Bless you guys. Here are some links to offer help.
Thank you, sign at Kansas City Zoo, for educating me about these miraculous ungulates. And for making me giggle like a sophomoric idiot.
No. They're not. False advertising or sarcasm or Dr. Steve Brule reference?
EVER! Not that I'm biased or anything since it's my sign.
I'd love to hear the debate over this parking ticket. But seriously, what a literal-minded jerk.
The 24-hour Tesco garage in Fleetsbridge, UK, was targeted on Sunday morning. Looks like someone can't believe the price of unleaded petrol.
You might be surprised by which store. Spotted in Santa Monica, CA. (Via thatpanic.com)
Well, okay, considering the sentiment on the sign it's more like “World's Begrudgingiest Richard Gere Fan.” And shouldn't they be dressed as a gerbil?
After all these years. It's things like this that really give you hope, you know?
With this kind of bigotry, it's no wonder Blockbuster is going belly up. They'll soon be as extinct as…as…something. Sorry, the metaphor is escaping me.
From somewhere in Lithuania. And now you know what an iPad on a stick looks like.
