Lil Bub: The World’s Largest, Permanent Kitten!

Posted on July 14, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Bub the “perma-kitten” – a cat with a genetic disorder that will keep her kitten-sized with kitten-esque features its entire life – is on the verge of viral stardom. “She’s the best living thing on the planet,” says Bub’s owner, Bub (yes, the same name) Bridavsky of Bloomington, Ind., of his truly one-of-a-kind cat. Bub’s dwarfism keeps her limbs are disproportionately small relative to the rest of her body, thus her short, stubby legs and a weird, long, serpent-like body …

Kourtney Kardashian on Water Birth: EWWWWW!

Posted on June 28, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kourtney Kardashian will welcome a daughter into the world any day now, but this just in: the reality star will NOT be participating in a natural water birth. TMZ sources that Kardashian was considering this option because it’s reportedly a more peaceful process for the child… but Kourtney then witnessed the event in action a couple days ago and reacted to it in disgust. Kourtney allegedly told pals the entire thing was “horrific” and, without drugs administered to mother, “looked brutally painful,” although we have to ask: Doesn’t that description apply to dating Scott Disick as well? In the end, Kardashian will simply go the route of Beyonce and Jessica Simpson and rent out a suite at a hospital, Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles to be exact. No word yet on how much she’ll charge for the right to the first photos, but rest assured: it will be a lot. [Photo: WENN.com]

Media Fail: CNN, Fox News Erroneously Report Health Care Law Struck Down

Posted on June 28, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Supreme Court upheld Obamacare and its individual insurance mandate today, although Fox News and CNN apparently expected a different outcome. They were so surprised, they reported it was struck down! Many in the media expected the Supreme Court to throw out the 2010 Affordable Care Act, but no one officially knew until the ruling at 10:15 Thursday. Looks like CNN and Fox News jumped the gun. Fail. The Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling established that the law, which mandates citizens have health insurance, is constitutional, since not doing so results in a tax. Nonetheless, Fox’s ticker initially reported that individual mandate had been declared “unconstitutional,” while CNN said the mandate had been “struck down.” Both networks ultimately corrected their reports, but not before their utter idiocy was disseminated throughout the Twitterverse. Really, guys, awesome work. It’s unclear if they were merely confused by the court’s extensive 193-page ruling or if they had that text ready to go ahead of time and forgot to change it. In any case, as HitFix’s Alan Sepinwall joked, this would make for a great episode of The Newsroom … in two years, with the full benefit of hindsight.

Science: It’s a Girl Thing (and Apparently Serious)!

Posted on June 22, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

A new film, published by the European Commission and designed to promote women in scientific and research fields, describes science as a “girl thing.” It combines generic pics of beakers and words like “hydrogen” with pictures of rail-thin models wearing designer sunglasses. There’s also a lot of pink. Check it out below. Somewhat amazingly, it’s not a spoof: Science Girl Thing Needless to say, the video went viral, but its lipstick-style logo, techno soundtrack and other touches struck some critics as “offensive” and “insulting.” Some users were so surprised by the video that an EC spokesman was forced to deny it was a joke , insisting that the group “doesn’t really do irony.” Others observed that the “dream jobs” section of the campaign’s website didn’t offer any suggestions, instead inviting readers to “come back soon.” Will they, based on what they’ve seen here? Quite unclear. The video was just one of a series of films, some of which are more straightforward and can be viewed at the Science Girl Thing’s YouTube account .

Where the Hell is Matt? Still Dancing All Over the World!

Posted on June 21, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Where the Hell is Matt? Still doing his thing! You may very well recall the 2008 viral video in which video game designer Matt Harding quit his job, traveled around planet earth and performing his signature dance move in the most far-flung and unlikeliest of places. Well, four years later … Matt’s back with a sequel! Where the Hell is Matt (2012) If it’s possible, Harding’s travelogue is even more impressive in 2012, with him dancing up a storm in locations ranging from Kabul, Afghanistan to Kigali, Rwanda, Damascus, Syria, Poria, Papua New Guinea and even the rarely seen Pyongyang, North Korea. Not every place even made the video, either, but Matt, who released the 2012 video yesterday, promises to add them to a special outtakes video soon. To compare the two and see the adventure that gained Harding his first 15 minutes, check out the 2008 “Where the Hell is Matt” video after the jump: Where the Hell is Matt (2008)

This Craigslist ad offers help bullying your kids. No, not protecting them from bullying in this cruel world. Actually administering mental and physical bullying. You know, because the property taxes you pay to send Junior to middle school just don’t buy you a good enough bullying experience these days. Why would you ever offer such a thing? Because “I’ve noticed an unsavory trend of self-entitlement among kids,” writes this bully-for-hire . “Fortunately, I think there’s a solution, so I’ve turned to the one place where I’m convinced I can cast the widest net to families: Craigslist.” “There I posted the following offer to parents, and so far no bites. Though it may just be a matter of getting the word out.” That word is this: As for the nuts and bolts of this seemingly foolproof, mutually beneficial arrangement, for which the wannabe bully seeks only “reasonable” compensation? The methodology includes, but is not limited to the following: Our only questions after reading this: How great is the Internet, and How does anyone NOT call this guy???
