| Cutegreggator: OMG, Baby Monkeys! Posted: 20 Jan 2012 10:19 AM PST
A friend of mine — then in undergrad for psychology — and I once had a debate over which of us could come up with a cuter baby animal. I put forward baby monkeys, having seen them in an AP Psych video in high school. He countered with baby hedgehogs. The hedgehogs won slightly, but I’ve now revisited the monkeys for this week’s Cutegreggator, and they’re still pretty damn adorable. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| The Daily WTF: SEGA Develops The ‘Toylet,’ A Urinal Video Game Posted: 20 Jan 2012 09:40 AM PST
Remember the days when all you knew SEGA for was the classic video game Sonic the Hedgehog? The Japanese game company is still developing new games to keep up with demand, but we’re pretty bowled over by what they’ve decided is the hot new thing that men in Japan should have: A video game built into a urinal. These “Toylets” are loaded with five games, each one measuring the strength and distance of a guy’s piss. Some of them are predictably irreverent, like “Battle! Milk from Nose!”—you fight another guy, and the harder you pee, the more milk comes out of the characters’ noses. But then things get disturbing with “The Northern Wind, the Sun, and Me”: Your aim is to pee hard enough to blow a reporter girl’s skirt up (your urine is the wind here). That sounds disturbingly like the creepy hobby of upskirting, or snapping photos under girls’ skirts. Sure, it’s a video game, but it’s a weird goal. Check out this news report that BuzzFeed found: These bad boys cost upwards of $2,000; for that amount, you should get the entire virtual-reality experience. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Video: President Obama Sings A Snippet Of Al Green, Isn’t Half Bad Posted: 20 Jan 2012 09:20 AM PST While speaking at a fundraiser at Harlem’s Apollo Theater last night, President Obama couldn’t help but break into a bit of spontaneous song when mentioning that the Reverend Al Green was in attendance. And the crowd went wild. The song he sang was “Let’s Stay Together” and although he only sang the first phrase, it was enough to drive the audience crazy. And with good reason…he was great! “The Sandman did not come out,” he remarked, referring to “Sandman Sims,” the tapdancer who used to escort failed acts off the stage there. This little performance made me wonder what other sexy talents the President is hiding, and also what he’d sound like singing a whole song. Maybe after he’s done being president, he can have a second career as a smooth jams recording artist. Come to think of it, “Let’s Stay Together” wouldn’t be a terrible theme song for his re-election campaign, either. It has a nicer ring to it than “Let’s Keep Terrifying People Out Of The White House,” anyway. (Via Contact Music) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Ellen Awards College Scholarship To Deserving Homeless Girl Posted: 20 Jan 2012 08:44 AM PST
Ellen Degeneres fulfilled the “inspiring personal story” caveat of daytime television today by bringing on a girl named Samantha Garvey. Garvey is an accomplished student of science and a finalist in the Intel Science Talent Search. This would be impressive for anyone, but Garvey has the added obstacle that she and her family are homeless. She has to do her schoolwork while undergoing the stress of living in a shelter. Because Ellen is in the business of helping dreams come true, she obtained Samantha a $50,000 college scholarship from AT&T. She also got her family a $1,000 gift card to Whole Foods (which should buy approximately a month’s worth groceries there, but they’ll be good groceries) and a $5,000 gift card to J.C. Penney. $50,000 isn’t going to pay for much more than one year of school at one of Garvey’s top choices (Yale or Brown), but something tells me she’s going to be just fine, as she’s pretty much exactly the kind of student financial aid offices like to award full scholarships to. video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player (Via The Ellen Show) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Video: ‘Moves Like Batman’ Is A Fun, Geeky Tribute To ‘Moves Like Jagger’ Posted: 20 Jan 2012 07:04 AM PST Maroon 5‘s “Moves Like Jagger” is an ode to the weird rooster dance that Mick Jagger is known for. Similarly, “Moves Like Batman” is a tribute to the gravelly, badass hero Batman… but also (I think) a nod to Maroon 5 and their infectious jingle. It’s not like the song is Rolling Stones, but it’s catchy, which means any parody set to it would benefit from that. Case in point: At first I thought this wasn’t that funny. Performers Chad Nikolaus and Angie Griffin sing a bit off-key, and their costumes are Halloween-grade stuff, not resembling the Christopher Nolan Batman movies that have become our new canon. But that cheesiness actually helps them, because if you put aside the minor flaws, you see that they had a hell of a lot of fun making this video. Chad’s moves as Batman are hilarious, partly because it’s the Caped Crusader dancing outside a Target but also because he’s a genuinely good dancer. But the greatest geek touch is the throwback to the “nanananana Batman!” song in the chorus. Plus, all the people who join in dancing! Really fun. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| American Idol Contestant Amy Brumfield Leaks Elimination On Facebook Posted: 20 Jan 2012 06:47 AM PST
Recapping the first round of auditions for American Idol, Jamie reflected that the judges may have passed Amy Brumfield merely out of sympathy; she’s kind of an odd bird who lives in a tent in the woods. But now it sounds like we won’t have to worry about Amy’s fate; it turns out she hasn’t been competing on the show for the last month or so. Starz Uncut spotted this post on Amy’s Facebook wall from mid-December 2011, where she talked about how good it was to come home. When a friend asked why she was home so soon, she responded, you guys should know i don’t work well with others…. group day i got eliminated. Someone doesn’t know the pattern of American Idol; they’re still in the auditions stage, and nowhere near group day.
To make matters worse, Celeb Dirty Laundry pointed out, TMZ has obtained Amy’s police records. She’s been arrested six times in the past seven years, often because of intoxication; one memorable arrest came about when she was so drunk that she peed herself at a Baskin Robbins. People are saying that this could be Amy’s chance to turn things around, especially since she blew the judges away with her rendition of Alicia Keys‘ “Superwoman” on last night’s episode, but I can’t imagine that she has any sort of future with the show now. Even if she were somehow lying, the producers wouldn’t look well on this breach of contract. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
