  • You have to dig deep in the source code of getyourbasketballon.com to find out who made this spot-on parody of “Archrivals”-era hoops (we’ll let you do that), but let’s just say Charlie Murphy hasn’t been this funny since his “Chapelle Show” days. Maybe longer.source

Culture: Of all the scenes involving sharks and planes, this is the stupidest

  • On the first page of this YouTube video’s comments, someone asked if this is what happened to the Air France flight. Hey, they said it, not us. Whatever the case may be, this clip from “Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus,” starring Deborah Gibson, definitely ranks quite high on our “dumbest film scenes” list.source

Culture: Your eyes might bulge after hearing how David Carradine might’ve died

  • Startling reports Carradine, whose death was initially reported to be a suicide, got a bit more complicated with reports that he was hanging by his genitals as well as his neck, in what might have been an act of autoerotic asphyxiation. source

  • What is it? Autoerotic asphyxiation, for those of us a bit more pure and with sensitive ears, involves preventing oxygen from getting to the brain to improve sexual pleasure. In case it sounds like playing with fire, it kind of is. Protip: Never do this. Ever. source

  • Historical context Carradine would not be the only one to die of this way. Former INXS singer Michael Hutchence was widely believed to have died in a similar way when he was found dead in his Sydney, Austrailia hotel in 1997. source

Culture: The Conan/Mario thing is a coincidence, you big-media idiots

  • OMG are you guys seriously that stupid? Look, we get it. The Conan thing is freaking hilarious. We love it like a child of our own, in fact. (W’zup Jeff Greco?!) But we noticed something when looking on the Internet today: More than one big-media blog trying to set the record straight on what is seriously the most awesome coincidence ever. Syfy’s official blog, for example. Or more depressingly, The Live Feed, The Hollywood Reporter’s usually awesome TV blog. You guys need to take a step back from the mirror and realize it’s, on its face, hilarious. OK? Now read this story on how Nintendo digs it. source

Culture: David Carradine was found hanged. Was it a suicide?

  • His family is in shock. They have the same belief we have. There was no way David did this to himself.
  • Tiffany Smith • A representative from Carradine’s management firm, Binder & Associates. Carradine, the iconic martial arts actor (who actually didn’t know anything about it until his role in “Kung Fu” but later became a huge advocate), was found naked and hanged in his hotel room in Bangkok, Thailand. Many early reports speculated that it was suicide.  • source
