Culture: The Dramatic Chipmunk is much deadlier than he looks

  • Sometimes, it simply takes a new approach to make a meme completely fresh again. Dramatic Chipmunk has been around for a few years, and while it’s completely awesome, it’s also old. This parody clip takes the chipmunk (really a prairie dog) and has it attack the Japanese video crew shooting it, horror-movie-style. This is one of the best parody clips we’ve seen in ages, and we highly recommend you watch.

Culture: Speaking of octet mom Nadya Suleman, she’s going reality TV. Sigh.

  • She wants to find a man! Must like kids. In Touch is reporting that Suleman is in talks to be the topic of what promises to be the worst reality show ever, which combines the tabloid-friendly topics of dating and child care into a cluster&(*% of a television show. And, sadly, you will watch. Because she ticks you off and that’s what makes good TV. source
