The Daily WTF: Lobster Roll Play

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 11:37 AM PDT


We bet you’ll think twice about complaining that your bra pinches after seeing this lobster claw creation. Designer Laura Jacobs makes naughty nautical art that incorporates shells, claws and even fish heads. For the Little Mermaid (or Prince Eric) in all of us.

Daily Cat Video: Cat Walks On Two Legs

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 11:00 AM PDT

I like to imagine there’s some alternate universe out there where cats are posting videos of humans doing super impressive things like tightrope walking and showing up to work on time. Today, this cat’s putting up vid of me eating a sandwich without getting any mustard on my shirt, while I post this one of him walking on his front two legs like it ain’t no thing.

The worst part of going to space? Your fingernails come off – So this is gross: Apparently the bulky gloves astronauts wear cut off circulation in their hands, causing the spacepeople’s fingernails to fall off. Ew. We can send a man to the moon; can’t we do something about these gloves? (via Popular Science)

List: 7 Tumblrs You May Not Be Following

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 10:49 AM PDT

This morning’s Cutegreggator post about the blog Animals With Casts got us thinking about other tumblrs with content worth wasting an afternoon on. We’ve got recipes, sex advice and something called Album Tacos. Follow away!

Album Tacos: We’re weirdly obsessed with this blog, which is literally just a bunch of album covers Photoshopped to include images of tacos. If someone wants to mock up Jagged Little Pill we’d be eternally grateful.

It’s Just Sex: A sex advice column written by a liberal gal from Texas, this tumblr posts about a range of things — like sexual health, bedroom toys, and how to give good oral.

Celebrate With Cake: This blog hunts down the best dessert recipes on the web and stores them in one convenient place. We assume our cupcakes are in the mail.

Invade Everything: A hilarious autobiographical web comic about two friends navigating life in Los Angeles, by cartoonist Ariel Schrag and writer Kevin Seccia.

The Fashion Paradox: Maybe hide your credit card for this one. The Fashion Paradox is a tumblr devoted to online shopping that posts bargains and finds from across the web.

Copycats: Copycats is a blog dedicated to cover songs, mash-ups and remixes. No tacos though.

Dead Presidents: Described as “historical facts, thoughts, ramblings and collections on the Presidency and about the Presidents of the United States." Getting-stuck-in-the-bathtub stories not included.

Gallery: Triumph`s 2010 Inspiration Contest An Exercise in WTF-ness

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 10:49 AM PDT

We`re not really sure what the Triumph Inspiration contest was, but judging from their awards ceremony last night, it was sort of like an international version of those Project Runway challenges where you have to come up with the weirdest shit possible. Make it work, you guys!

  • That`s one way to cover your love handles
  • Beige plus asymmetry equals boring AND confusing
  • Maybe if you LOOK like a martini glass, Don Draper will love you more.
  • Fuck yeah, the tooth fairy is real. He`s just too busy being fabulous to climb in your window and leave you nickels every time an incisor falls out.
  • If your wedding dress looks like a lopsided frown, it doesn`t bode well for the rest of your marriage.
  • Oh god, Madonna`s cloned her cones.
  • This is what Wonder Woman would look like if she was Dutch
  • This is like that party that Jennifer Connelly goes to in Labyrinth when she looks in the crystal ball
  • If I was a super-villain I`d want this to be my costume.

If You Put Dax Shepard in a Mumblecore Film, Does He Become Likeable? – In The Freebie, directed and starred in by Mrs. Duplass Brothers Katie Aselton, Dax Shepard is apparently tolerable and turns in a likable performance! That was like finding out we enjoyed Maya Rudolph after watching Away We Go. (via MetaCafe)

An Open Letter to Betty White Fans, And Also to People Who Are Over the Whole Betty White Thing

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 08:45 AM PDT

Hey guys,
I’m glad we were able to sit down and have this conversation. I know how tough it is getting you — fans of Betty White, who believe the octogenarian’s comeback is the best thing ever — in the same room as you, people that are totally over Betty White appearing on everything and think the joke is wearing pretty thin. I’m going to try to keep this brief.

I think what we’re dealing with here is a problem of over-saturation. Betty White hosting SNL? Amazing, and well-done. Betty White appearing in every viral video, guest-starring on Community, and having her own line of “sexy” calendars? That’s a little overkill.

Now, before you jump down our throats, Betty White supporters, let me reiterate that I am in no way ageist. If there was a 20-something that was trying to “do it all,” as it were, I’d be equally critical. In fact, more critical, because in those scenarios the prolific nature of these actors are due to some Hollywood-corporate push to make sure that their client is literally everywhere, doing everything (Justin Bieber, any Disney star), or it’s because they are pretentious jerks who think that being an actor also means you can have 500 other jobs and people will think you are just so deep (James Franco, Adrian Grenier). If anything, we let a lot of this Betty White shit slide because she’s older. But Betty White would not want to get special treatment just because she’s old. She should be treated the same as any other celebrity that was suddenly in your face, 24/7. For example, this is unnecessary:

Haha, old women cursing? It’s like whenever some script-writer decides to give Betty a sex joke: It’s funny because she’s old and old people don’t have genitalia! Right pop-pop?

Now to you, people who want Betty White to go away forever: Shame on you too. This lady has worked her ass off in the industry far longer than you’ve been alive for, and if she’s making her money, than you have no right to roll your eyes or claim she’s being “exploited.” The lady is writing two books, for god’s sake! She’s doing just fine. Now, that doesn’t mean you have to like the fact that she’s on every medium all of a sudden, but lets chalk this up to a case of “don’t shoot the messenger.” Except instead of the messenger, it’s the actress. Don’t shoot Betty White, just because some execs realized there was a symbiotic relationship to be made in her multiple appearances, leading to Betty White overload. Also: just don’t shoot Betty White.

So basically: Betty White rules, but we’d be okay if she took a break for a bit, and was a little more discerning in her projects.

Thanks for coming out tonight. There’s coffee and donuts on the table on your way out, and thank you for being a friend.

  • A koala in a kast.
  • This dog's name is Dan. We approve.
  • The tiniest cast in the world!
  • Hey, little hedgehog. Can we keep you?
  • Squirrel TLC - heartwarming.
  • This bird's got attitude.
  • We've found our new desktop image.
  • Cutest donkey ever. Eat your heart out, Eddie Murphy.
  • How does a turtle end up in a cast?
  • A broken bunny.
  • Halloween costume, anyone?
  • Puppy love knows no obstacles.

Want to know a secret? If we had to choose only one blog to look at for the rest of eternity, we’d probably go with Animals With Casts — because there’s nothing more heartbreakingly adorable than a hobbling bunny or a turtle with a broken foot. We spent some time going through the site (what a chore!) and picked out our very favorite casty creatures.
