“FALLING IS THE NEW CONE-ING” claims a new Youtube video, featuring kids intentionally falling down. There is no comedic timing whatsoever. They spontaneously fall into things like they’re having a seizure. Half the bystanders are either oblivious or indifferent, which will only increase with the popularity of this meme. What will be funny is when one of these jackasses accidentally hurts himself and no one helps

Nothing quite sets the season like Christmas cards of Santa, or as he’s known in Japan “American Christmas Devil.” Brad McGinty received this unique card from his grandfather. “These aren’t personal Christmas cards, but rather leftover cards from my grandfather’s failed attempt at starting a greeting card company a few years after WWII,” claims McGinty. A few years after my Grandfather returned from the war he decided to start a

Parents may want to dress down when visiting Santa this year. The world famous Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School is teaching students to size up parents in order to scale back expectations. Fred Honerkamp, a lecturer at the school, suggests that Santas blame mischievous elves for any possible shortcomings on Christmas day. “In the end, Santas have to be sure to never promise anything,” said Honerkamp. Other Santas are

If little Ralphie lived in Arizona, A Christmas Story might have had a very different ending. At the Scottsdale Gun Club kids can get their picture taken with Santa and his little friends: AK-47, AR-15 with an attached grenade launcher, M60, M249, M240, and an $80,000 Garwood mini-gun mounted on a tripod. Ron Kennedy, general manager of the Scottsdale Gun Club, says the event isn’t aimed at children but the

Like something out of a Twilight Zone episode, the “Foreclosure mill” Steven J. Baum P.C. law firm is now itself out of business after photographs were released of employees mocking the homeless at the company’s 2010 Halloween costume party. The whistleblower says the pictures are characteristic of the company, which paid $2 million settlement for robo-signing documents to expedite foreclosures. “There is this really cavalier attitude,” she said. “It doesn’t

Film director Tim Burton is know for bringing the dead to life in films such as Beetlejuice, Corpse Bride, and The Nightmare Before Christmas but he has literally breathed life into his latest creation, “B.” (short for Balloon Boy), which debuted at the Tim Burton Retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. B. was created, Frankenstein’s monster-style, from the leftover balloons used in children’s parties at the Great Ormond Street

Kyle says being born without arms and legs is “the greatest gift that I’ve ever been given.” As you might have guessed he’s a motivational speaker but he doesn’t just talk the talk, he crawls the walk.

This aptly named Toyota Prius commercial features a giant person made up of regular-sized people. Its jaw literally drops when it sees the new Prius Family, which like the People Person has unraveled into many. It’s so surreal that you think it has to be computer generated, but the commercial was designed to real as possible and uses dancers strapped together and suspended by wire. It’s the work of The

Celebs are being called to serve… as dates to the Marine Corps Ball. Both Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake have accepted their respective Youtube invitations from Sgt. Scott Moore & Corporal Kelsey De Santis. Given the success rate, Sgt. Ray Lewis decided to try his luck but he wanted someone a little more “mature.” His “all-around perfect woman” was Betty White so he asked her to call him (video below).

Even the most doting parent sees their child in a different light come bedtime. Go the Fuck to Sleep is a children’s book that “captures the frustration of being in a room with a kid and feeling like you may actually never leave that room again, that you may spend the rest of your life in that dark room, trying to get your kid to go to sleep,” says author

The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has nominated Al Jazeera English News Hour for its coverage from both sides of the Gaza War. They may have been physically located on both sides of the conflict but Al Jazeera wasn’t presenting both sides. Its coverage of Gaza (http://english.aljazeera.net/focus/war_on_gaza/) includes article like “Israel’s Failure to Learn”, in which journalist Nir Rosen justifies attacks on civilians by claiming it’s actually the
