As much as ads annoy us if we have to sit through them at moments not of our choosing, when we get to watching beautiful commercials by incredibly creative designers and directors we can’t get enough. Our latest round-up of cool (mostly) new commercials is all about animation (mostly computer animation, but not exclusively), and [...]

Though many seemed to think that the Internet would serve solely as a vessel for pornography and scams, those skeptics clearly underestimated the power of cats. Yes, our feline friends have become such web celebs (”welebs”?) that they’ve begun to take on certain human characteristics. For proof, we recommend checking out Kitty Stampede’s listicle of [...]

By now, hopefully, you know all about the Three Wolf Moon T-shirt meme (if not, watch this), and if so then you’ll know just how parody-friendly this particular meme is. So much so, in fact, that alternate versions of the original shirt have popped up all over, leading the web culture experts at Urlesque to [...]

One of these days we’re going to put together an epic listicle of supercuts (the fan-made videos that feature “every time x happens in y”), but until then we’re going to keep posting some of the best as stand-alone vidsticles. The latest we’ve come across features every death (including animals and robots) in the Arnold [...]

We love single-serving sites, especially ones that are always adding new content all the while staying within very strict thematic or formal boundaries (like this blog!). It seems like there’s a new one every day (or several), and every week or so one leads to a book deal, so it’s nice to get a big [...]

Getting lost in the pages of a website is one thing, but actually breaking it can be somewhat humiliating, like ending up naked in front of a bunch of webmasters. It feels a little less awkward when those designers take the time to create a nice error page; it’s like crash-landing in a field of [...]

Though we often feel like we don’t use them enough, we really enjoy animated gifs and appreciate their artistry a great deal. We may start to do it a lot more now that Urlesque has curated a top-notch listicle of 8 Animated Gif Blogs, which is a fairly invaluable resource given how many crappy animated [...]

Embittered as we may seem, we’re suckers for an inventive and unexpected pronouncement of ever-lasting love. Really. (This also means that we hate seeing a marriage proposal backfire spectacularly.) But we love mental_floss’s listicle of 10 Quirky Marriage Proposals so much we might ask it to marry us, and although we’d be a couple days [...]

Leave it to our friends at Urlesque to keep our Sunday morning hunger sated with their listicle of 15 Delicious Internet Meme Cakes. We’re especially appetized by the O RLY? cake, but we’re sort of shocked they missed a couple more delicious meme treats, which we’ve baked after the jump.

The Statue of Liberty, a French gift to the U.S.A. on the occasion of the Declaration of Independence’s centennial, was dedicated on October 28 1886, which makes Lady Liberty exactly 123 years old today. As a celebration of all that that huge hunk of metal has come to symbolize over the years, we’re looking at [...]
