A while back we featured an especially simple and form-redefining listicle that garnered some tremendously positive feedback, and ever since we’ve been plotting our next single-image listicle. Now, thanks to Acne advertising’s brilliant campaign to get drivers on the bus to Stockholm airport, here are 50 Cars That Form a Bus:

A fun story about knock-off cell phones in China caught our eye in the New York Times yesterday. The article described a thriving micro-industry in which expensive models are reproduced locally and cheaply, then sold for as low as $20 (though with a little haggling you could probably get them down to $12). This got [...]

Did you ever see the Eddie Murphy-Steve Martin comedy Bowfinger? No? Well, it wasn’t an Oscar bait film (in fact it was pretty grossly under-rated), but at one point Murphy’s action movie star character Kit Ramsey points out that black men only get nominated for Oscars if they play slaves, and even then it’s the [...]

A few weeks back, by pure chance, we ended up seeing the last half of Homeward Bound again, and now we remember why we vowed never to watch it after the first time. The fracturing of families, the encounters with bears and porcupines, the mud pit, it’s all just too much. Seeing it the first [...]

When in doubt, we generally assume that corporations are evil. Aside from being clever marketers with a sense of humor, they are the most readily available symbol of everything that’s wrong with the world. An annual report by Ethisphere, though, claims that companies can be moral pioneers in their hometowns and across the globe. So, [...]

Some 113 years ago today, the first modern Olympic games kicked off in Athens. Roughly 250 athletes participated, and the city selection process was, well, not a process so much as an announcement. Every Olympic Games since then, though, bids have become more competitive, presentations fancier and flashier, visual campaigns more elaborate and audacious.

Admittedly it’s a little cruel to laugh at someone when they’re down. But dude, you’re on national TV, you knew what you were getting yourself into. With that moral disclaimer out of the way, let’s indulge our base thirst for humiliation with Unreality’s listicle featuring 8 of the Dumbest Game Show Losers. We’re especially impressed [...]

More often than not, animated romances give themselves over to sentimental, wishy-washy silliness. This isn’t quite the case with the shorts featured in this edition of Thursday’s 3 Cool Videos, our weekly showcase for recent (and recently rediscovered) short form moving image genius. So just because they’re “cartoon-y” doesn’t mean these 3 Animated Shorts About [...]

Informally, this week is Art Fair Week in New York, with a half-dozen large-scale festivals providing showrooms for galleries from all over the world to display their artists’ work. One of the newer fairs in this year’s mix is Fountain New York, which features Marcel Duchamp’s iconic urinal scultpure as its logo. Contemplating their snazzy [...]

Asteroid, moving at 12 miles a second, splits the Earth and the moon. Near misses like this are more common than anyone would like to think about.
Speaking of near misses, we almost lost the freedom of speech a few years back.
“Brain drain,” meet brain deportation.
Some of the Slumdog Millionaire child actors have to return [...]
