Awesome Karaoke Couple Rescues Dumb ‘Leno’ Bit [VIDEO]
You know the drill -- Jay Leno pulls some sort of "prank" on random people, and then we all are supposed to laugh at how dumb they are. Yaaaawn. Fortunately this time Leno's plan went awry, when the person he was attempting to startle turned out to be a talented, extroverted singer, who knows all the words to Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer."
16 Reasons Why Moms Are Awesome
Why are moms awesome? Here are (just a few) reasons why moms are awesome.
Man Has More Fun on Treadmill Than You Ever Dreamed Possible
Wow. We've never had this much fun on a treadmill. Granted, we've never actually been on a treadmill because we've got really bad knees and asthma, but still ... this looks like a lot more fun than the elliptical machine too.
Couple Breaks Up in Epic Kiss Cam Dispute
Real or not real, this is officially the best part of going to a Grizzlies game -- watching people break up on the Kiss Cam. Unless, of course, you're the guy who got dumped, in which case this is probably the worst part of going to a Grizzlies game.
Starbucks Employee Thought Lady’s Name Was Vagina
You know what they say -- when in Rome, do as the Romans do; when in Hong Kong, get called "Vagina" at a Starbucks.* That must be how that saying goes, because that's exactly what happened to a woman named Virginia who was visiting Hong Kong recently, and she wasn't too happy about it.
The Best Dove Beauty Sketches Parodies
Surely you've seen this ad from Dove, in which a forensic sketch artist draws women as they describe themselves, then as other women describe them, then everybody starts crying? If not, it's here for the watching, just to give you some context before we settle in to what this is really all about -- making fun of that ad.
Why Liking Something on Facebook Isn’t As Helpful As You Think
If you think you're saving the world by liking a page on Facebook, UNICEF Sweden has got some news for you -- you're not. Liking a page is a great way to keep informed about a charity or cause, but unless it's part of a specific campaign, it doesn't actually do much good...
Saturday Morning as a Kid Vs. Saturday Morning as an Adult
Remember when Saturday mornings used to be the best? In the battle between Saturday mornings as a kid and Saturday mornings as an adult, it's pretty clear which comes out the winner.
Twitter Celebrates NBA Center Jason Collins Coming Out as Gay
If you've been hiding under a rock, or just somehow not on the internet at all today, here's a newsflash -- Jason Collins is now the first active NBA player to be openly gay.
The Craziest Sorority Girl Email You Will Ever Read
We are once again so very thankful that we went to a school where women with unshaven armpits actually believed they turned into enormous dragons at night, men would show up at the dining hall without pants on and fraternities and sororities were not allowed. Because those folks make Armpit Lady seem like an Ad Council poster child for normalcy.
If Stuff From the ’90s Was Made Today
If we're going to wax all nostalgic about things, let's not even compare the way things used to be to the way things are now. Let's instead lament how HORRIBLE it would be if things from the past were invented today.
When Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber Swap Faces You Wind Up With a Pretty Cute Couple
It turns out when you swap the faces of Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, you wind up with a pretty cute lesbian couple. Thanks for the heads up, Reddit.
How Animals (Sort of) Eat Their Food
You should probably watch this video. Especially if you need something absurd to turn your day around. This is about as ridiculous as it gets. It's a man doing his impressions of how different animals eat their food.
Man Buys Poodles, Discovers They’re Actually Ferrets on Steroids
This is not a joke. A man at the largest outdoor bazaar in Buenos Aires bought two toy poodles from a vendor for $150 each. Only he didn't actually buy two poodles. He actually bought two ferrets that were hopped up on steroids and given fancy hairdos so they would look like poodles.
9 Tasty Peeps Cocktails That’ll Help You Forget Easter
It's Easter weekend, and we all know what that means -- time to eat some ham and get your crunk on. We've always said if you aren't risking an insulin coma, you aren't really drinking, so here are some Peeps-themed cocktails to prove you love Easter but hate your body...
‘Hadoken-ing’ is the Latest Web Craze
As far as internet photo trends go, this one is certainly more fun than planking, Eastwooding or milking (don't Google that one at work). Hadoken-ing, for lack of a better name, is a trend gaining popularity among Japanese students.
High School Makes Amazing One-Take Pop Music Medley Video
Nearly eight minutes in length, and with 49 people to choreograph, this video was no small feat. The fact that they're all high school students certainly makes it more impressive.
Baby Bandit Picks Locks, Steals Sister’s Toys
We would say this impressive, but it seems more appropriate to say this kid is the uber-little brother. Breaking into his sister's room? Check. Stealing her stuff? Check. Doing it in a manner that makes it hard to prove it was him? Check.
Porn Stars Before and After Makeup Will Blow Your Mind
First of all, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you in your ... personal time. But we think these photos of porn stars with and without makeup are worth sharing. Totally SFW, they just might blow your mind. The photos come from a professional makeup artist who shares them via Instagram at xmelissamakeupx. You can find more here (although some are slightly NSFW).

Internet Baby Naming Contest Thankfully a Hoax
Last week we reported that a horrible mom was letting the internet vote to decide the name of her child for a measly $5,000. We can now thankfully say that the whole thing was a big, stinking hoax, perpetrated by none other than the company holding the contest.
