All the photos of the ridiculous things humans do to their pets, compiled onto one handy blog with fitting captions. Naturally, this would be right up our alley because it seems like we feature tortured pets every day.
One of these things is not like the other. Or, as Soup put it: “WTF IS THIS FILTHY DOLLAR DOING IN MY BENJIS?”
The Teddy's packing a punch. Vodka? Check. Lighter? Check. Condoms? Yup. Rope? Er, wait a minute, I don't want to play any more.
Culture Buzz The mother of octuplets has sat down for an interview with Ann Curry, but you'll have to wait until next week to hear it. I understand the interest in her case, but what do we expect she's going to say? “I really wanted to have a lot of children.” Thank you, that one we had figured out.

The Phoenix has cleverly cropped audio from the book-on-tape version of “Dreams From My Father”, which features the Prez reading as his foul-mouthed friend, Ray. Just wait 'til 2012…A Republican just saved these mp3s to his hard drive.
This classic sound recording of a Verizon “customer service” call is getting a revival via the magic of Failblog. Feast your ears as not one, but two Verizon customer service reps prove themselves pathologically incapable of distinguishing between 0.002 dollars and 0.002 cents.

The rom-com about unlucky ladies and gentlemen in love (imagine that!) is looming on the horizon, and apparently the marginal characters - or “three gays and a Black guy” - prove to be almost as insulting as the fact that He's Just Not That Into You was made into a movie. To be fair, we should've seen coming in the trailer when Drew Barrymore's flock of geighz insist that “MySpace is the new booty call.” Ugh, nobody says that, gay or straight.
Can someone explain why a commercial for heartburn medicine features a perfectly pleasant woman being forced to “Mom Dance” at a silent office party?? (No, seriously, you can hear the shuffling of feet!) Mom always said, “There's nothing quite like an upward wag of the finger to sell heartburn medicine.”

A St. Paul teacher is under fire after she made an offensive joke about the Holocaust. The birth and death of a lesson plan.
16 year old Denis Romanov puts a huge padlock through his ear piercing. After realizing there was no key, policemen had to physically hacksaw the thing off. This is the most wince-inducing video I've seen in awhile.
British artist Kyle Bean envisions a future in which we still have a good reason to open books.
Politics Buzz The NY Times Reports Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is recovering from surgery for pancreatic cancer.
Celebrity Buzz The former Reading Rainbow host (and star of Star Trek and Roots) has taken back his Twitter after an impostor set up a fake account in his name, consequently turning Burton into somewhat of a new media junkie. See what happens when one proudly waves his nerd flag? Celebrity reborn, y'all.
Celebrity Buzz Paul Walker, the 35-year old star of 'Fast and the Furious', just asked Jasmine, his 19-year old University of California, Santa Barbara undergrad of a girlfriend, to marry him. They started dating when she was 16, leaving the world to wonder just what kind of fast and/or furious driving lessons Paul gave her.
The fastest man in the world couldn't let the fastest swimmer steal all the spotlight. Check out these pictures of Bolt mackin' it with some bitches in Miami. Who knew he was so creative?
At 2.5 pounds and 17 centimeters wide, this Hungarian man's was ::sigh:: surgically removed. Still, if you have a penis, this image might make you faint.
A Florida man was arrested for having a blow-up doll threesome in a supermarket parking lot. At least he was kind enough to get everyone their own pack of Reeses.
This video is strange and funny and you should watch it. It's not brand new — it's the video for a “song” from Dan Deacon's 2003 album Meetle Mice — but has had a resurgence of popularity for reasons that are too murky to be clear.
