The Real Reason the Post Office Has to Stop Delivering on Saturdays
They can cite healthcare costs all they want, we know the real reason the Post Office is going to stop Saturday deliveries in August. Clearly, it is because they never redesigned their bags to hold tacos and mail. People love the tacos. But they need their mail...
Meet Jesse Heiman, the Go Daddy Nerd Who Got to Kiss Bar Refaeli
If the guy swapping spit with Bar Refaeli in that GoDaddy Super Bowl commercial looked familiar, it's because you've seen him before. Dozens of times. His name is Jesse Heiman, and he plays a nerd in basically everything.
Best Super Bowl 2013 Commercials
It's the biggest sporting event of the year, and the ads of Super Bowl 2013 are living up to their expectations. Thank goodness, because the amount of money spent on Super Bowl commercials makes it really disappointing when they're not good...
Kidney Found in KFC Meal — Why Are We Still Eating There Again?
How many times does this have to happen before we all stop going to KFC? Hopefully twice is the answer. Three weeks ago a teenager in the UK thought he had been served a giant chicken brain from the fast-food chain. It turned out to be a kidney. On the one hand, gross.

The Best GIFs From Obama’s 2013 Inauguration

‘Les Mis’ Fans Freak Out on Twitter Over Oscar Noms
Universal Pictures
Hey, did you hear about the Oscar nominations? We're guessing Ben Affleck isn't the only one crying -- hordes of musical theater fans are losing it too. Who would have thought that people whose idea of entertainment is to be whipped into an emotional frenzy through overwrought song and dance would flip out when their genre of choice gets not one, but eight nominations (even
Remembering Huell Howser, California TV Legend
For those outside the state of California, Huell Howser, who passed away late Sunday night, might be something of a mystery. There's a chance you saw him on 'Tracy Takes On ... Hollywood,' or heard his voice on an episode of 'The Simpsons.' Southern Californians, however, are surely familiar with his self-produced travelogues of the state, which aired on KCET in Los Angeles, in all their incarnati
