| RACIST OR ADORABLE?: Hip Hop Black Face Cupcakes Posted: 10 Dec 2010 03:00 PM PST
Food blog Eater brings us the latest in a slew of racist baked good controversies. Purveyor of delicious foods to eat while lonely Duncan Hines made a minute and a half long ad featuring 7 newly chocolate glazed cupcakes beatboxing and autotuning themselves with tiny little eyes and cute little mouths. And because these cupcakes share the most minimal of resemblances with Al Jolson, Duncan Hines is now being accused of making a racist cupcake ad. BLACKFACE CUPCAKES. We’re guessing these cupcakes are also REALLY GOOD AT SPORTS, RIGHT “DUNCAN”? We’ve got the ad ahead. Take a look at it, and then our thoughts on whether or not these hand held snacks are actually “racist,” “delicious” or “deliciously racist.” OUR TAKE: These cupcakes are not racist. Like, at all. They’re chocolate glazed cupcakes who sounds like Daft Punk, not Dr. Dre. What’s racist is that someone labeled them hip hop cupcakes, which they aren’t. They are robot autotuned cupcakes who happened to be chocolate flavored. The fact that some person, probably white, tacked on “hip hop” is not the fault of these diversity loving handheld snacks. What do you guys think? Racist or adorable? If I say I think the ad is cute, am I a racist? This is all too confusing. |

The bartender looks at them and says, what is this, a joke? (Click here for audience reaction.) Yes, this is newly single David Arquette, looking for some j-ish v-gina at AEG’s ‘Chanukah Live’ event this week. And he’s got the two best wing men around: Howie Mandel and a Rabbi. Here is David lighting up one of the Menorah candles using the flame that once belonged to his marriage:
And then here’s a guy whose name is Vic ‘The Brick’ Jacobs who should definitely be on the Jewish one dollar, assuming such a thing exists (it does):

| CNN Accidentally Airs Dumb And Dumber Diarrhea Scene Posted: 10 Dec 2010 12:48 PM PST Aaaand here’s the best thing on the internet today: CNN accidentally airing the Dumb and Dumber clip of Jeff Daniels violently pooping, right after a slightly unrelated piece about protests in London. Nice to see the ‘net isn’t phoning it in on Fridays like it (and all people) usually does. Instead it’s totally TGIF! Urkel’s like, “Got any poooooop?” |
| NY Times “Actors Acting” Series: The Rejects Posted: 10 Dec 2010 10:36 AM PST Earlier this week, the New York Times released an inexplicably arty feature called “14 Actors Acting”, featuring a number of well-known actors doing random things in black and white so as to appear to be something resembling an organized expression of arty artyness. Not included in this series, however, were a number of other “Actors Acting” videos that didn’t quite make the cut. Below, the unseen outtakes from the New York Times’ Actors Acting shoot in one convenient video, “9 OTHER Actors Acting”: |
| The Tourist Starring Johnny Depp And The Other Angelina Posted: 10 Dec 2010 10:30 AM PST The fine folks at MTV News have imagined a world where the stunning Angelina Jolie is replaced with the human head lice known as Angelina from Jersey Shore. And try as you might, but you just can’t deny the sexual chemistrayyyy between these two. (via MTV) |
