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.

  • Don’t off yourself until you’re good and ready. But when you are, you can use this site to commit Seppukoo on Facebook. It’ll convert your site to a memorial page that you can no longer update. Facebook doesn’t want you to use it. But the concept is there for the using. source

Culture: Tiger’s voicemail could definitely be a bedroom jam, guys

  • Hey, uh, it’s Tiger. This may officially be the slow jam of the fourth quarter. Take your name off your phone. Just have it as a number.

Culture: Break.com pushes the Tiger Woods story to a disgusting new level

tigergame1202

  • Is the Tiger Woods coverage not tasteless enough for you yet? Play the game. It’s probably enough to push those barriers of taste over the edge. See Tiger? If you had come clean four days ago, you wouldn’t be the subject of (pardon our french) shit like this. source

Offbeat: All hail Zombie Reagan! All hail Zombie Reagan!


  • Personally, if we had Zombie Reagan as president, we’d vote for him. Well, after we, ourselves, turned into a zombie, of course.

Politics: Sarah Palin puts a little too much trust in Canadian conservatives

  • Dear Sarah Palin: If you see a woman who vaguely looks like you shouting questions about Canadian health care, do yourself a favor and don’t answer. The woman, Mary Walsh of “Daily Show” to the North “This Hour has 22 Minutes,” was in character as ultraconservative Marg Delahunty, and she was trying to bait Palin into saying something really stupid. It took her a couple tries, but Walsh succeeded. source

Politics: Anonymous Kurt Greenbaum critic: Privacy is important

  • The fact that the St. Louis Post-Dispatch would allow this to happen just shows how completely out of touch they are with the Internet and the modern world.
  • The anonymous author of “Kurt Greenbaum is a #&(&@” • Describing their feelings on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s handling of the Kurt Greenbaum incident. As you recall, Greenbaum called a commenter’s employer and got them fired. The person behind the site emphasizes two things: One, commenters should be allowed their privacy, and two, the Post-Dispatch’s policies are old hat at best. source

Offbeat: Cats for Gold: Melt your gold so a cat can melt your heart

We admit it, we’d totally love a feline in place of gold or a crappy scheme to bilk us out of our money. source

Culture: Glenn Beck an easy target, one hit by South Park this time

  • You know, parodies of Glenn Beck should be getting old by now, but they’re really not. Cartman uses Beck’s logic to suggest that Wendy kills smurfs. Is Glenn Beck just a schtick now, instead of a political pundit? I don’t know, I’m just asking questions.source

Culture: CollegeHumor nails Seth MacFarlane’s cookie-cutter animation niche

  • Is it us, or has CollegeHumor gotten funnier over time? On this particular clip, they hit really close to home for Seth MacFarlane’s empire of cookie-cutter Fox shows. We have to admit, though, if they got rid of the families and just had the talking snowmen and blenders, we’d probably watch it.source
