WTF?
Thu Tran (not to be confused with the late Power Rangers actress Thuy Trang) hosts what I'm pretty sure is the best cooking show ever created. This clip is just a snippet of what's available on her website. Just bear with the sub-par audio mixing and you'll have a spot-on Yoko Ono parody, a whole bunch of puppets, and some yummy-looking deviled eggs to look forward to. Also, Satan. Hope you enjoy, friends and lovers. Egg-bye!
Gentlemen, I thought I had reached the absolute limit in terms of things I did not expect them to make an opera out of. That changed the moment I heard that they were making...dear God, it maddens me to even say it.
An Inconvenient Truth. An opera based upon An Inconvenient Truth.
Mull that over for just a moment. If the director shares my vision, that stage is gonna be chock-full of anthropomorphic Powerpoint slides.
That director, by the way? Is the guy who did The Exorcist. Just in case your mind wasn't completely blown yet.

Well, it's almost time for the annual Fourth of July hot dog eating contest at Coney Island. You know, the one that Japanese guy wins every year. Whatever. That event is just a convenient excuse for me to share this awesome postcard I found online. How wrong is this? It's like dog cannibalism! Well, maybe not exactly, since the other dog is just serving up his friend, not eating him. Still, it's kind of a horrifying image. Although honestly, believing that hot dogs are made out of real dogs is only slightly less nauseating than what they probably are made of!
How this story is game related is anybody's guess, but it's chock full of sexy men and it sports the name "Hot Coffee Break," so I'll lay it out as bait: WEtv.com is kicking off its original web series "Hot Coffee Break" by dispatching hot sexy shirtless men into New York City to perk up passers-by during this wilting summer season.
The hot sexy shirtless men gave out cups of coffee (I'd like to be able to say it was iced coffee) to men and women on the street.
More to the point is "Hot Coffee Break" itself: 31 days of videos that feature hot sexy shirtless men turning an ordinary activity into something sexy. That's a kind of game, right? Check out the videos and pictures online - you might thank me.
It's SFW in general but does feature hot sexy shirtless nipples, pectorals, abs and biceps. Oh my!
Is it just me, or is the Westboro Baptist Church losing its touch? They're still batcrap crazy, don't get me wrong. But lately I feel like they're just getting lazy.
Take the headline of this "news release" that they recently sent out, gleefully announcing the death of George Carlin.
GOD KILLED POTTY-MOUTH COMEDIAN GEORGE CARLIN, AND CAST HIM FORTHWITH INTO HELL.
Potty-mouth? Brokeback Mountain gets called a "sordid, tacky bucket of slime seasoned with vomit," and George Carlin is a potty-mouth?
I'm not really even sure if that's understatement, irony, or both.

A British commercial for Heinz mayonnaise has caused a bit of a stir, and Heinz has pulled the ad in response. Viewers reportedly complained that the gay kiss was offensive and unsuitable for children.
American pundit Bill O'Reilly also commented on the commercial in an entirely reasonable and respectful manner. Just kidding, he was a total dick as usual.
Weirdly, this is almost a total inversion of the controversy generated by last year's Snickers commercial, which was pulled due to protests from gays. In this case, British gay rights group Stonewall is calling for a boycott of Heinz for not continuing to air the mayo ad.

In a briliant display of poor judgment, a California high school had a police officer inform students that 26 of their classmates had been killed in a car accident, all as part of a clever ploy to warn them of the dangers of drunk driving.
The students, and their parents, were understandably less than appreciative of the lesson after they became aware of the ruse.
El Camino officials defended how they handled the exercise, saying it gave students the opportunity to experience real grief.
"They were traumatised, but we wanted them to be traumatised," guidance counsellor Lori Tauber reportedly said.
Brilliant PR move, there. That's what every parent wants to hear. "No, guys, chill out! It's totally cool! We wanted to traumatise your kids!"

Um.
I suppose that you can deduce for yourself what is going on here; Manbabies.com is a gallery of pictures of men and children whose heads have been switched. The effect isn't always convincing, but it's pretty consistently creepy.
A would-be passenger at London's Heathrow Airport was forbidden from boarding a plane after his Transformers t-shirt was deemed offensive by airport security, all becuase...get this...Optimus Prime has a gun.
Didn't this guy learn anything from his high-strung kindergarten art teacher? The only thing more dangerous than a gun is a picture of a gun.

A Japanese man was understandably surprised when police discovered an uninvited guest hiding inside his closet yesterday. He was probably even more surprised to discover that she had been secretly living there for a year.
The woman told police she had nowhere to live and first sneaked into the man's house about a year ago when he left it unlocked.
She had moved a mattress into the small closet space and even took showers, Itakura said, calling the woman "neat and clean."

Take a look at Takashi Murakami's mega-NSFW sculpture which sold for a whopping $15 million earlier this month. I'm detecting a vague resemblance to Cloud from Final Fantasy VII, but that's definitely one hell of a...um...victory pose.

Possibly her strangest gig since Blue Velvet, Isabella Rossellini has directed, written, and starred in a series of short films for the Sundance Channel entitled Green Porno. And unlike much of the stuff I link to, it's actually safe for work...sort of?
Each film has Rossellini costumed as an earthworm, spider, or one of various insects, while she describes and reenacts the creature's reproductive habits. And you thought avant-garde cinema couldn't be educational.
Watch all of the films on the Sundance Channel's website.
And girls who like girls who like stuff!
