Thank the merciful heavens! Now we can say "micropig" as much as we want without having to endure the crushing shame of using a word that isn't a legitimate word. Micropig is just one of dozens of terms that became official as part of ODO's most recent quarterly update of new words and definitions, which includes "soul patch," "hosepipe ban" and "vajazzle." Finally! Our Thursday night dinner conversation is legit!
Did you see comedian Josh Androsky on 'The Price Is Right'? When he got pulled from the audience to compete on the game show, he was only too thrilled to "come on down," but not for the reasons you think.
In a move that basically seems like the worst idea ever, the self-proclaimed "skateboard rabbi" got drunk and took a bunch of shrooms before going on 'The Price is Right.'
It's not everyday that you get to see Mitt Romney smacked in the face with a hot dog or President Obama trounced with a balloon sword... Until now. Thanks to a new, free phone game called Vote!!!, you can see it every day. It might seem like they've lost sight of the point of democratic elections by making the two presidential candidates go toe-to-toe, but the folks at Epic Games could actually be on to something.
Sony Pictures has slowly been eeking out teasers for James Bond's upcoming adventure in 'Skyfall,' and whether you can bring yourself to admit it, we've all been a little 007 obsessed lately.
First there were all those trailers and movie posters storming the web, then came the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony (leave it to the Queen to out Bond James Bond) and now the franchise is taking over Coca-Cola... for a limited time only.
Tying a bunch of balloons to a house makes a really sweet, heartwarming cartoon movie. Tying a bunch of balloons to a turtle, on the other hand, just makes you a giant jerk. But that didn't stop some horrible person in California from duct-taping a massive bunch of helium-filled balloons to a box turtle and releasing it into the air. Fortunately, the turtle was rescued and an investigation is underway.
Remember Karen Klein, the upstate New York bus monitor who was viciously harassed by her middle school charges in a video that went viral in June? Her story had a happy ending, as an internet fundraising campaign to send the 68-year-old on a "nice vacation" raised over $700,000 from 32,000 people around the world.
That's more than enough money for Klein to retire from the yellow school bus grind. And she plans to. But she is also using a good chunk of the cash -- $100,000 -- to set up the Karen Klein Anti-Bullying Foundation.
When it comes to remixes of TV footage, YouTube user placeboing has really outdone himself. The beats he created from 'Breaking Bad' footage are some of the best we've heard in a long time. Unlike most remixes, it's actually good beyond its novelty value. Not to put down the other guys, but musically this one actually feels like a song instead of an internet joke.
Tired of regular, boring, emotionally unavailable news? Well then, this is the video for you because this melodramatic news reporter is very involved with his work. He's emotional. He's gesturing wildly. He's smacking his notepad for emphasis. You really get the sense that it's not every day a bus crashes into a house in Montgomery County, Maryland. And when one does, it is a BIG deal.
Everyone needs to blow off a little steam now and then. But rather than risk busted knuckles or property damage, we invite you to watch this awesome NSFW supercut of movie temper tantrums courtesy of YouTube user Zach Prewitt. Because, you know, you could probably use it.
President Barack Obama has always been "down" with the young voters. He knows how to dance, he sings, he knows what these kids are saying these days, and he knows how to text. Turns out the latter will be his most important talent in the upcoming election.
In what surely qualifies as one of the first large-scale examples of political fundraising through texting, Obama's reelection campaign will begin accepting donations via text message this week.
