Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
This is so head slappingly stupid that you could be forgiven for thinking it couldn’t possibly be real. But it is real, because the world is sometimes a very dumb, garbage place. But I suppose in its own way this bout of ridiculousness is a fine example of why we need a human rights museum …

Old story alert, but I believe that it is still worth noting that the city of Edmonton was forced to shut down its fancy composting facility because the roof rotted. What caused that, you may ask. Well, that would be the effects of composting, natch. The city announced Wednesday that, effective immediately, the Edmonton Composting …

New app targets distracted drivers with traffic alerts Maybe I’m the idiot here, but it strikes me that the only app we should need to tackle distracted driving is one called the power button that shuts the fucking phone off while you’re driving because clearly you don’t have enough self control built in.

A billboard worker wound up in the hospital Tuesday morning when he tumbled off a rooftop sign in Brooklyn that happened to be touting the famed personal injury law firm Cellino & Barnes, family and officials said. David Fricker, 49, was working on the billboard around 10:28 a.m. near the corner of Church and Flatbush …

It appears the mystery of the 47-year-old gift has been solved, and it was captured on video! I guess the articles from last year made their way to Vicki Allen, the ex girlfriend who handed him the gift and dumped him, and they reconnected and decided to open the mystery gift for a charity. Thank …

But many times there is justice, even if sometimes that justice takes half a century and is kind of cold-hearted and weird. In 1968, Douglas Parkhurst killed 4-year-old Carolee Ashby in a hit-and-run, or at least he’s pretty sure he …

Finally, somebody got Alanis Morissette to admit that nothing about Ironic is. Well, unless we consider that the fact that there is no irony to be found is perhaps itself the irony. But anyway, while James Corden was at it, he also got her to update the song to reflect some of the issues facing …
