December 12, 2012 This is the time of year that the annual lists start appearing. You know the ones, most Twitter followers, most successful, etc. As 2012 is coming to a close, we take a look at one of the more unique lists. This is a list of the real low-lights, people who didn't make the grade!
December 11, 2012 With all of the recent commotion about the Australian DJs whose innocent prank turned deadly, I was stunned when I found this internet gem. A safety video for Australia’s TRAIN system was intended to be a public service announcement. However, in just a few weeks the animated music video has gotten over 30 million hits on YouTube!
Christmastime should be about family, generosity and good cheer, but sometimes there are a few baddies lurking about to spoil everyone’s fun. We’re talking about nasty Christmas villains here. Thankfully most of them are merely figments of some storyteller’s imagination. But not all of them. There are always a few real life Yuletide rogues out there just waiting to make a mess of the winter holidays.
December 10, 2012 A new survey from TVNZ reveals the top five things that take a toll on productivity in the office. It turns out that Facebook isn't killing productivity at work. It's your slow, confused, disorganized coworkers and bosses that are a much bigger problem.
December 10, 2012 Everyone freaked out when Twinkies went under, and now some American beers could be next. Some of America's finest and cheapest beers may be a bong away from oblivion! The website 24/7 Wall Street looked at beer sales data from the past six years and found eight American beers that have all seen horrible drops in sales.
December 7, 2012 There are two major countdowns that are on right now, the countdown to the end of the world, and the countdown to Christmas. For people looking for just the right gift for someone, both countdowns can be terrifying.
With all the time we spend on Pinterest, it's no wonder we've come across so much quirky and awesome stuff. Half our holiday gift and decorating ideas come from the site alone! Want to check out Disney/Star Wars mash-up art or a cheeseburger dress? They've got you covered. Not surprisingly, the site also has a whole slew of questionable holiday products you can pin and repin, like a pickle ornament or a creepy spandex reindeer costume.
December 5, 2012 For years I've felt that most of us have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. I love how Bronner's in Frankenmuth boasts that it's a CHRISTmas wonderland, not a holiday hangout! There are about 800 surveys out there involving Christmas shopping, and we've come up with five things that keep coming up.
Little kids are the best. They're pro photobombers and make super weird raps about McDonald's, and that's just scratching the surface. But munchkins can also be the worst. Don't get us wrong-- their adorableness usually overrides any of those 'tudes they try and pull, and you know how we're suckers for anything remotely adorable. But sometimes that awful side emerges in those rare moments of brattiness, and we're left sort of dumbfounded.
With Christmas only a few short weeks away, our holiday excitement seems to build every single day. Honestly, how can you not be totally stoked over the idea of presents and Santa and tons of hot chocolate with marshmallows? It's impossible. That's why we love to express this crazy anticipation in our favorite way-- through festive clothing. We're huge fans of giving our cat's reindeer antlers and making our pups wear Santa hats, but what does that mean for us?
The shadow cast by Michael Jackson’s bizarre personal life and legal troubles may have eclipsed most of his career but it still could not blot out the shining triumph of his song and music video 'Thriller.'
Photobombing takes some serious skill. It’s all about the right timing and awkward positioning that makes for the ideal ruined picture. Most times, it takes years of practice to achieve this sort of obnoxious talent, like pro ‘Photobomb Girl’ or the world’s most awesome stingray. But did you know there’s a certain breed of people who seem to have this whole photobombing thing down pat with little to no effort required? Little kids.
