In celebration of The Pill’s 50th anniversary, CNN published a piece containing opinions on its significance for women and society. Women quoted included a model and actress, a CNN Republican strategist, and the founding editor of Ms. Magazine, all of which make sense. However, Hugh Hefner’s bit is totally fucking hilarious. The only man to [...]
Although the Guy Bauer Half Hour’s “we’ve got company” montage was pretty good, the “get out of there!” montage is even better.

You may already know hh1edits’ equally [...]
Everyone knows salad bars are fucking gross. First of all, food that sits there all day is undeniably recycled the next. Second of all, you never know who’s sneezing in or around the food. Then there’s little Johnny and his idiot parents who think he’s a perfectly civilized seven year old capable of serving himself, [...]
In preparation for his “Wall tour,” Roger Waters opted for a guerilla-style marketing campaign, commissioning a street team to post wheat pastings around New York and Los Angeles. However, it’s clear the street teamers haven’t listened to any music since The Wall came out nearly 30 years ago because they unknowingly defaced the famous Elliott [...]
Yes, the Arizona immigration law, which goes into affect in 90 days, has been discussed ad nauseum. However, the Phoenix Suns have come up with a refreshing, albeit hilarious way to protest.

Eariler in the day, I received an invitation to sip on Patron after work. Confused, I berated my friend for being an alcoholic, not so politely pointing out that today is only Wednesday. Clearly, however, I am grossly ill-informed because today is the fifth of May, more popularly known as Cinco de Mayo. Yes, today [...]
Maybe he’s not as cute as WALL-E, but Shimon is still pretty adorable and he can jam pretty well! Not only can Shimon play the marimba, he can improvise based on what other musicians around him are playing. Developed by Ryan Nikolaidis, a PhD student at the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology, the robot uses complex algorithms to analyze the beat, tempo, and chord progressions of the music being played. From there, Shimon can create something that will enhance or compliment the music. He even acknowledges people around him, taking subtle cues from other musicians about their solos. Click through to check out the amazing video!

Fast food chains are constantly coming up with new and “inventive” angles to sell their product. Take for instance, Taco Bell.

When I was younger I had an inexplicable obsession with Unsolved Mysteries. Maybe it was the ominous theme song, maybe it was Robert Stack’s velvety voice, but despite crippling nightmares I would watch that show incessantly with my favorite episodes revolving around aliens and urban legends like the Chupacabra or Loch Ness monster. Well, my [...]
Let’s state the obvious: breakups suck and people deal with them in myriad ways. As a woman in her early twenties I thought I had seen it all; ice cream, binge drinking, day-long pajama fests, and the occasional rebound. However, Sandra Bullock proves me wrong. She went out and found herself a new (little) man, [...]
Although there is no official information on the track, a new M.I.A. song leaked today. “Born Free” is a refreshing departure from her most well known single, “Paper Planes,” which catapulted on the charts after being featured in the Pineapple Express trailer.

Like a handful of other indie artists forced to cancel their Coachella appearances, Bear In Heaven had a monkey wrench thrown into their European tour schedule thanks to that unpronounceable Icelandic volcano (Eyjaf… what?). However, instead of being pissed off by their “pure and unbreakable boredom,” the band used a shitty situation to their advantage. [...]

The voice of GEICO’s “fifteen minutes” slogan has been let go for voicing his opinion on FreedomWorks and its Tea Party members. Enraged by Tea Partiers’ racist and anti-gay comments, Douglas left FreedomWorks this voicemail asking about “the percentage of people that are mentally retarded who are working for FreedomWorks and who are following it.”
