Emerald Catron — Tue, 14 May 2013 17:45:21 +0000

Drew Weisholtz — Tue, 14 May 2013 14:15:35 +0000

Experience isn’t always the most important qualification for a politician. Sometimes dimples work just fine. The mayor of teeny, tiny Dorset, Minnesota (population 22) is a four-year-old boy named Robert “Bobbie” Tufts. We don’t know if his senior advisor is Rubber Duckie or if he pledged naptime for all citizens, but Bobbie won the coveted [...]

'The Great Gatsby' Plus Cats Equals 'The Great Catsby'

Kristy Puchko — Fri, 10 May 2013 17:50:18 +0000

We know what would solve 'The Great Gatsby's' mixed reviews -- replacing the entire cast with cats! Not that we're blaming the acting, we're just saying it would be a movie of cats in tuxedos drinking at parties. Can you even imagine all the shiny objects they would get distracted by? Cat flappers? Cats driving old-timey cars???? If you're having a hard time imagining all this, we made these posters of the 'Gatsby' cast as cats to help you along.

At least. So we scrounged up some more pictures of moths cute enough that we probably wouldn’t scream if they [...]

The boy’s mother writes on YouTube, “He is not actually behind a boat he is just being pulled along the shoreline.” [...]

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 06 May 2013 15:24:52 +0000

There are many great things to watching a child grow up: their first step, their first word, and of course, watching them turn simple English into dirty, foul-mouthed words that make any adult crack up. As you can see, young Paige is having a little trouble describing what she’s holding in this video with her [...]

Dog Is Not Having His Owner's Kisses

Emerald Catron — Thu, 02 May 2013 16:36:02 +0000

One man has trained his dog to hate kisses or affection. Sure, it’s cute, but they’ve spent so much time together, and Owner was totally there for Dog that time he ate the Chunky bar — he even took him to the doctor and washed the puke out of his hair. When will Dog realize [...]

Daily Distraction — Thu, 02 May 2013 08:00:42 +0000

[onescreen item="5067617"] We’re not sure whom to admire more here—the brave little kittens, or the incredibly patient and gentle dogs. Sure, the kittens probably don’t know enough to be terrified of the giant canines, but still, any creature who could fit inside something else’s mouth probably knows instinctively not to mess with that thing. And [...]

See the Crazed Sorority Email as Interpreted by Adorable Animals

Christine Gritmon — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 16:07:04 +0000

University of Maryland junior Rebecca Martinson's swear-riddled, histrionic email to her fellow Delta Gamma "sisters" has taken the internet by storm this week. But what if an actual cat were spewing that verbal venom? Or, say, a puppy? Wouldn't an elephant perhaps deliver the most effective punt of all?

And since Martinson just resigned from her position at Delta Gamma, we thought we'd put her words into the mouths of a bunch of adorable animals. Sigma Nu likes adorable animals. And really, isn't pleasing Sigma Nu what it's all about?

But other times, we’re not lucky enough to catch them red-handed, although their guilty expressions totally allude to trouble. Basically, pets are really bad at keeping a [...]

Jeremy Taylor — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:23:30 +0000

Watch These Dogs Playing With Babies — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 08:00:35 +0000

[onescreen item="5065519"] At first, it’s a little unnerving to see a big ol’ dog playing with a teeny-tiny baby. But it gets better. Much better. These dogs seem perfectly aware that their job is to protect and care for the baby—even play with it, too. It’s a good way to make a new best friend. [...]

Evian's 'Baby & Me' Commercial – Cute or Freaky?

Kyle Dowling — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:07:55 +0000
