World Grits Festival Confused About What To Do With Grits

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 08:19 AM PDT

Here are some photos from the 2011 World Grits Festival in St. George, South Carolina, an annual gathering to celebrate grits by putting on goggles and diving into a giant swimming pool of them:

Turns out it’s the “Rolling In The Grits” portion of the festival, a competition to see which person can emerge with the most grits stuck to them (seriously). Seems whimsical enough, but doesn’t really have anything to do with liking grits? That’d be like saying:

All right, National Ice Cream Festival! Let’s see who can f*ck the most ice cream!

Parallel example? YES. Grit Festival has been properly zinged. After the jump, two more photos of people rolling around in grits, unless you’ve already seen too many photos of that in your life:

The “Kids React” Kids Feel The Same Way About Rebecca Black As You Do

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 08:17 AM PDT

“It was entertaining because it was terrible.”

“Horrible. It shouldn’t even be on YouTube, and that’s just sad because some people post some really weird stuff on YouTube.”

(exasperated “They play it on Friday at my school!”

These are all things kids — or as you might know them, “baby adults” — said in response to Rebecca Black‘s Friday.  They’re just like you and me, these kids! I mean, they don’t play that song on Friday at our grown up adult schools (work), but we sure would complain about it exasperatedly if they did.

And guess what, the kids don’t ONLY make fun of her. By the end, they feel bad for her. JUST LIKE FULL GROWN US DO! These “Kids React” videos really are good for society in that they help combat whatever the child-disliking equivalent of racism is called. Kidsogyny maybe. Perhaps” babyhatin” in The South.

But as a counterpoint, I will refer you back to this.

Thanks again to the Fine Brothers.

Ellen Page Is Even Better At Juggling Than Drawing Mazes

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 07:28 AM PDT

To prove you’re up to the task, Ellen Page, you’re gonna have to do a juggling routine in one minute that amazes me for two minutes, homeskillet. Now you’re juggling pregnancy.

I couldn’t decide which easy Ellen Page movie reference to make in my obligatory video-describing opening paragraph, so there’s both of them. While I dust off my hands with accomplishment for ten minutes, here’s Ellen Page juggling fruit really amazingly:
