For ten days in May of 2009, the street artist RIPO used news headlines as inspiration for a painting that he then covered with another painting of the following day’s news–a commentary on the over-saturation of media and fleeting nature of news–before peeling back a strip for each day to created a spectacularly striped, multicolor [...]

Jeanne-Claude, one half along with her husband of the artist duo Jeanne-Claude and Christo, died on Wednesday in New York at age 74 of complications from a brain aneurysm. The couple’s most iconic work, incidentally, was probably their Gates installation in Central Park in 2005, but the two had been active since the 60s. (They [...]

We’ve become a little jaded in our old age (oh, hey, we celebrated our first anniversary on Tuesday!), and lately we find most lists very uninspiring. Every so often, though, a brilliant list reminds us why we signed up for this life of lists. Heavy’s listicle of the Top 5 Songs About Having Sex With [...]

There’s something very appealing about the idea of having a funny tombstone, rather than one that is solemn and muted. After all, if there’s anywhere that needs a little humor to lighten the mood it’s the cemetery. Manofest has done some impressive digging to find The 25 Funniest Tombstones, out favorite of which marks the [...]

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 [...]

We’re very anti-soda to begin with, but when soft drink (or “pop”, as it’s called in our homeland) companies start getting all ridiculous with odd hybrid beverages we really lose interest. Seriously, give us water, coffee or something with an alcoholic kick in it, anything’s better than sugary and corn syrup-y soda.

The famous clip that featured the debut of Mickey Mouse as we know him, Steamboat Willie, first aired on November 18, 1928, making today Mickey’s 81st birthday. (He appeared in Plane Crazy six months earlier, but that version of the character, considered by many to be more interesting, was scrapped and re-worked for Steamboat.)
He’s now [...]

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 [...]
