Adams — Wed, 22 May 2013 22:36:23 +0000

Say what you want but the torrential rains we received earlier today (Wednesday) were sick.

A company like Disney, which has been around for ages and maintains a family-friendly image, is bound to be the subject of some strange stories. But are any of them true? Is Walt Disney's body lying frozen beneath the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, waiting to be revived? Was Donald Duck really banned in Finland because he doesn't wear pants? Did Disney really make a cartoon to teach girls about their time of the month? TheFW has the real story on these and more of the most popular Disney urban legends

'Koalaing' Could Be the Cutest Web Photo Trend Yet

Emerald Catron — Fri, 17 May 2013 13:30:00 +0000

Forget (if you haven't already) milking, planking, hadokening, any of those-ings that were internet fads for a hot minute. They've been replaced. They're done. Koalaing -- that's the trick o' the day. It involved clinging as tightly to a pole or tree as possible like a koala. It's pretty adorable. Check it out.

20 Awesomely Creative Business Cards You Won't Throw Out

Emerald Catron — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:00:11 +0000

We know -- business cards? Even though nearly everything is done in the digital realm, they are still a thing. A thing we usually throw in the bin straightaway. We would gladly let these cards clutter up our desk, though. They're creative enough to warrant existing, and probably actually earn their proprietors some business. Check them out below.

'Ryan Gosling Won't Eat His Cereal' Is the Best Use of Vine Yet

Emerald Catron — Sun, 12 May 2013 20:00:01 +0000

God bless the folks at Gosloving, for sharing these Vines of Ryan Gosling not eating his cereal with the world (they have more). They are so absurd. However, because they feature Ryan Gosling, they are also delightful. Our favorite is probably the one where he smacks the spoon onto the floor. Just like a kid would do! But it's not a kid, it's Ryan Gosling. Sigh.

Hilarious Celebrity 'Makeunders' Bring Stars Down to Our Level

Emerald Catron — Fri, 10 May 2013 10:00:54 +0000

These funny Photoshop manipulations are one better than “stars without makeup” photos.

We call it ‘Extreme Makeunder: Celebrity Edition.’ They’re all available on a Facebook page called “Planet Hiltron.” Here are a few we like. Check out [...]

'Spagging' Makes Pouty Faces Tolerable and Hilarious

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 09 May 2013 23:00:19 +0000

The "duck face." It's an epidemic across all forms of social media, and why it exists, we haven't the slightest clue. You know what we're talking about-- that ultra pouty, furrowed brows, I've-got-'tude-right-now-and-you-can't-handle-it sort of expression. And yes, we've been guilty of doing it maybe once or twice in 2007. Whatever. But whether you're a fan or a facial-pouting hater, we think you'll enjoy the versions we recently discovered. Ladies and gents, say hello to 'spagging'.

Nick Romano — Tue, 07 May 2013 11:30:39 +0000

'Anchorman 2' is currently in the midst of production but it'll soon bring back our favorite manly news anchors to the big screen as 'The Legend Continues.' Will Ferrell's Ron Burgundy has already proven himself as the most masculine energy in the universe by coming face to face with some bears, besting his enemies in a street fight and being able to pull off a 'stache, but what's coming next to challenge the Legend himself? Oh, nothing, just a shark.

The White House Is Now on Tumblr Because of Course It Is

Jeremy Taylor — Fri, 03 May 2013 13:00:24 +0000

The Official White House Tumblr sounds like a parody website that would be full of political snark and GIFs. But it's not a parody. The recently launched page is actually the official Tumblr for the White House. Like, for real.

But that doesn't mean there isn't snark

Dalton Castle — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 16:28:08 +0000

It would be wrong to let this year’s NHL Playoff season begin without highlighting the best thing the NHL has produced, Wayne Gretzky’s daughter Paulina and her spoiled plump apple bottom! Okay maybe I really don’t mean it when I say she is better than the 4 Stanley Cups Wayne has brought home. Truthfully most of the [...]

Wes Styles — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 16:00:33 +0000

Yelp, the website that is typically used to rate and grade restaurants, shopping, and just about anything else that you might want to reviews - including prisons!

Yep, former inmates and even neighbors are weighing in on the prison system here in America. Granted not all of the reviews are tongue and cheek with sarcasm, some are actually using Yelp as a way to get out info about mistreatment, abuse, and poor food.
