Aziz Ansari Sings "F–k You, BP" At MTV Awards (VIDEO)

Aziz Ansari Sings “F–k You, BP” At MTV Awards (VIDEO) We've seen many shots taken at BP over the past few weeks, but perhaps the best way to take a jab at the petroleum company is to tag it on to an R. Kelly-inspired tribute to “Avatar.” Host Aziz Ansari did just that during last night's MTV Movie Awards, belting out, “It's a bummer when nature gets destroyed by greed, which reminds me, one more thing: F–k you, BP.” Oh, and it doesn't hurt to repeat it a few times while humping the air. added by: TimALoftis

Gleebasing: Schue and Sue Make Sweet Funk

Last night, Schue & the Family Stone taught viewers about funk by moaning about Regionals-related depression, singing about how hard it is to be a pregnant teen, and saying the word “funk” over 50 times. Oh yes, the episode was funky — and not in a good way. Like most of Glee ‘s installments over the past two months, last night’s “Funk” introduced a funk jam of story arcs that won’t be continued next week, some heavy-handed after-school lessons, and another one of Schue’s embarrassingly white dance moves (let’s call it the funky butt rock). So grab your groove thang and let’s relive last night’s stank rhythms.

Banana Gin Has Killed 80 People in Uganda

After drinking an illegal home-made banana gin laced with methanol has killed about 80 people in Uganda. Patrick Tusiime said that many people had died because relatives denied that victims were drinking the gin, known waragi. Deaths occurred over the past three weeks in the south-western Kabale district. Authorities were conducting a house-to-house search for the gin. Waragi is a drink across Uganda; they use this as an alternative alcohol because most of them cannot afford to buy an industrialized one. Almost 120 jerry cans of waragi were seized. All alcohol found were confiscated but people were stubborn and have found ingenious ways to hide it. Affected individuals became blind and suffered liver and kidney failure before dying.
