		<title>1990s ?Rap Against Rape? Still Holds Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in the early 1990s, Ireland was at the very forefront of white people rapping against rape. Take this soon to be classic, &#8220;Rap Against Rape,&#8221; as an example. It has everything you&#8217;d ever want in a rape rap: Irish people, back-up dancers, and an amazing hook singer. This is by far more effective than my former favorite anti-rape rap, &#8220;Things That Make You Go Rape.&#8221;]]></description>

		<title>Best Week Ever Inspires Successful Cami-Secret Parody Video, World Smiles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remember Noah Garfinkel&#8217;s post about the Cami-Secret ? Of course you do because he is your PRINCE. The PRINCE of your FAVORITE blog. Whereas I am but a scullery maid, waiting in the ashes, just hoping for a glimpse from Noah. Anyhoops. I met one Nick Stevens, comedian, last night when he kindly tossed me a few matches so I wouldn&#8217;t freeze on the stoop I was huddled against. He then somehow recognized my coal-smudged face as someone who writes for Best Week Ever. And he said, &#8220;I saw your Cami-Secret post on Best Week Ever and it inspired me to make a parody video and suddenly it was very popular!&#8221; And he took me in from the cold and fed me six hot cross buns.* I did not tell him that it was Noah who deserved his thanks and the buns, but I was so very hungry. Now, normally I wouldn&#8217;t deign to show you something with over a gagillion hits because I have more respect for your Internet ways, but since this success was inspired by Noah&#8217;s obsession with boobs, I feel it only appropriate to show this parody video. That, and it&#8217;s really f*cking funny. (Language NSFW) So, hooray, Nick! Congrats on your viral success and I hope that we (Noah) continue to inspire you in similar ways. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve inspired someone to solve global warming, I just haven&#8217;t heard from them yet. *This has quickly become how I remember The Little Princess]]></description>

		<title>Between Two Ferns: Sean Penn Sits Down With Seth Galifianakis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I&#8217;m worried that I&#8217;m stuck in a dream about an eternally joyless internet, &#8220;Between Two Ferns&#8221; is the pinch that lets me know I&#8217;m awake and alive. This week&#8217;s episode with Sean Penn and Zach Galifianakis&#8217; southern, mustachioed &#8216;brother&#8217; may be the best one yet. Behold, the editorial commentary I get paid to do: I love this video. Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis: Sean Penn from Between Two Ferns]]></description>

		<title>TOP CHEF RECAP: To InFOODity And Beyond!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a Recap of Top Chef D.C. (Season 7), Episode 12, entitled “Gastro-Nauts”, originally airing September 1, 2010. I was out of this world galaxy space moon asteroid quasar surprised by the outcome of this week&#8217;s episode. It&#8217;s the last episode before the Finale, so it&#8217;s time to ditch the painful food puns and gimmicky challenges and get to some real cooking&#8230; &#8230;Or maybe it&#8217;s time to the most do those things. Before we get to the supergimmick, it&#8217;s Quickfire time, and this week the chefs welcome Dana Corwin of Food &#38; Wine magazine by saying how much attention they pay to wine. Wine is one of Angelo&#8217;s biggest passions, obviously, because he&#8217;s kind of a D-bag. This is also the final high-stakes Quickfire, and the winner gets to go to London for 6 days courtesy of the London Hilton. Angelo wins the wine challenge, obviously, because he&#8217;s kind of a D-bag. Padma then announces that the Finale will be in Singapore. Padma also implicitly announces that she hasn&#8217;t done laundry in a while: After the jump, the Final Five becomes a Final Four. It still alliterates, but it&#8217;s one digit closer to not alliterating&#8230; For the final pre-Finale Elimination Challenge, the chefs will go to NASA &#8212; the food capital of the galaxy &#8212; and cook for a bunch of astronauts, and whoever&#8217;s dish would make the best freeze-dried meal will be the winner and have their dish freeze-dried and sold in science center gift shops nationwide. Stupidly, none of the chefs decide to cook a plasma globe. The chefs are introduced to Vicki Kloeris, NASA&#8217;s head fooAAHHHHHH!!! Why is she lit like that?? Did Bravo cut her evil monologue where she explains her deathlaser? No time for fear, cause the celebs just keep on coming. Behold, NASA&#8217;s very own TJ Creamer and Tracy Caldwell-Dyson: &#8220;We walk in and Tracy Caldwell-Dyson is standing there, and I&#8217;m like, OH MY GOD. She does NOT mince words when it comes to seafood. This could be a big moment for my cooking career.&#8221; The chefs shop and cook, Tiffany&#8217;s mussels freeze because GE&#8217;s appliance is just too damn good, and Kevin talks about not giving up and mentions &#8220;We recently took my mom of life support but she kept fighting&#8221; (OPINION: Top Chef is less of a big deal than that). The chefs then get a glimpse of their prize: A Toyota Avalon. They all hop in and Angelo gives them a ride to the kitchen while blasting an Asian-influenced miso emulsion on the radio. This week&#8217;s guest judges? Anthony Bourdain &#8212; he travels places, like astronauts &#8212; and none other than the second man on the moon (and the first man on the Cameo Moon), Buzz Aldrin: Tom asks Buzz what it was like to walk on the moon. Buzz says &#8220;Magnificent.&#8221; Tom then asks Paul McCartney what it was like to be in The Beatles. He says &#8220;Great.&#8221; The chefs&#8217; dishes are all turning out well, but Angelo &#8212; knowing what astronauts love &#8212; has a secret ingredient up his sleeve: Not only has Angelo braised his shortrib with pot, he also tells the judges he &#8220;Made love to them.&#8221; Sure enough, Angelo ends up being this week&#8217;s Quickfire-Elimination double-winner, and judging by the way he caresses the Toyota keys, those shortribs aren&#8217;t the only object Angelo made love to that night&#8230; The other four chefs&#8217; dishes are all roundly complimented by the judges, including Bourdain; when Ed unveiled his &#8220;Trip to Morocco&#8221; dish, I joked in a Bourdain voice &#8220;I&#8217;ve been to Morocco, so I know this is garbage,&#8221; and literally one second later, Bourdain exclaimed &#8220;I&#8217;ve been to Morocco, and I think Ed nailed it.&#8221; Whaa? The chefs are all really, really good all the sudden. Weren&#8217;t Ed and Kevin both just totally average, wait-to-be-eliminated dudes in the first few weeks? Well, now they&#8217;re apparently awesome, and this field is wide open. Still, surely they have to come up with some excuse to eliminate Kevin or Ed, right? Not right! Tiffany is eliminated in one of the harshest rounds in Top Chef history &#8212; like winning 88 games in the AL East and still finishing 4th (anyone?) &#8212; thus totally puncturing my uber-confident Finale prediction. I would&#8217;ve bet everything I had on Tiffany from about three weeks ago on, but fortunately, Vegas would&#8217;ve been like &#8220;Stop trying to bet on this but we appreciate your commitment to Tiffany.&#8221; Now, she&#8217;s gone. She and I feel about the same way: So there you have it &#8211; your &#8220;Out Of This World,&#8221; &#8220;Reach For The Stars,&#8221; &#8220;Remember When The Show Was Like Congress And Stuff&#8221; Final Four will be Angelo, Kelly, Ed, and in a surprising twist, Kevin: If I had to pick, I&#8217;d probably predict Kelly at this point, unless Angelo can buck the trend of the &#8220;suspiciously good from the get-go&#8221; guys losing in the finale, but for the second straight season, the Top Chef Finals are looking wide open. My only confident prediction: I&#8217;ll make a bunch of lame caning jokes next week. Tiffany Elimination thoughts? Finale Predictions? Reactions to some actual Top Chef unpredictability? Leave &#8216;em all in the TITLE OF THIS POST! No, the comments. Was just trying to be unpredictable.]]></description>

		<title>Man Caught Smuggling Snakes Onto Plane, Is Way Too Late To Ride Snakes On A Plane Viral Wave</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today in &#8220;People Smuggling Crazy Crap Onto Planes And Getting Caught&#8221; news &#8211; A guy in Malaysia tries to sneak 97 snakes and a turtle through security: The smuggler, who recently served 6 years in a U.S. prison for similar crimes, was detained by authorities at the airport in Kuala Lumpur earlier this week after airport employees spotted the rare reptiles slithering out of his busted suitcase as it passed down a conveyor belt. According to reports, inspectors found 95 boa constrictors, two venomous rhinoceros vipers and, for good measure, a mata mata turtle. What an idiot! Snakes On A Plane happened YEARS ago. I mean, if the guy&#8217;s intentions were to get caught and provide online news wires with countless softballed &#8220;Snakes On A Plane For Real Actually!&#8221; headlines, he really should&#8217;ve been on top of this many, many months ago. Or at least waited for a sequel. Or a &#8220;Snakes&#8221; franchise reboot starring Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Samuel L. Jackson and Samuel L. Jackson as his father. Either way, I think we know what officials said when they apprehended the man:]]></description>

		<title>The Sex Pistols Launch Their Own Perfume: Anarchy On Your Bod-Ay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NME reports that The Sex Pistols have launched their own perfume: The Sex Pistols scent, which comes in packaging based on their &#8216;God Save The Queen&#8217; single artwork, is currently available in France, and launches in selected shops in the US on September 10. It is not clear yet when it will reach the UK. The band have not commented on their latest release, but Live Nation Merchandise insisted they were &#8220;closely involved&#8221; with the launch. There are also plans to launch a &#8216;Never Mind The Bollocks&#8217; soap later this year. I smell sex and pi-stols here. (Marcy Playground joke, anyone?). I feel like I should, but I have no problem with this. Hell, you can buy Never Mind the Bollocks t-shirts at Urban Outfitters, so eff it. Why not make a perfume? At least it&#8217;s their own product. Bob Dylan did a Victoria&#8217;s Secret commercial a few years ago, Iggy Pop sells car insurance, another punk iconoclast laying prostrate to commerce will not make a difference. Kings of Leon, I still have my eye on you. Sell outs!!]]></description>

		<title>FOUND: My Halloween Costume 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Halloween is merely 2 months away, meaning now is as good a time as any to start figuring out what zany person or thing to dress up as. As for me? My costume has already been decided. I am dressing up as King Jaffe Joffer from Coming to America. And I don&#8217;t even need to take my velveteen lionhead shawl to the dry cleaner: Anyone figure out their costumes yet?

		<title>Cee-Loo Releases Official ?F*** You? Video That Isn?t Just Words</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cee-Lo&#8217;s &#8220;F*ck You&#8221; got like 8 billion views last week when the video was just the words in the song happening (a la Denis Leary&#8217;s weird Ford truck commercials), so it was only a matter of time before he released an actual music video with actual humans in it, and here it is. It&#8217;s definitely entertaining, even if my jaded-blogger attention span has me slightly tired of the song, but having a kid tell another kid &#8220;F*ck you&#8221; is usually a positive in any context, so I&#8217;ll give it a confident F*cks up. Thumbs up, I mean. Thumbf*ck. That. (I&#8217;ll let you guess whether or not the language is NSFW):]]></description>

		<title>The Room+The Monkees=More Coherent Than The Room</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mashups! Kids love &#8216;em! Kids also love the film The Room, which, if you don&#8217;t know, is the epitome of the so-bad-it&#8217;s-funny film. You can watch the trailer here. But, basically, it&#8217;s become this cult hit wherein there are screenings in actual theaters that sell out and people know all the lines and say certain things after certain lines and throw certain things at the screen. You know, kid stuff. It&#8217;s a communal movie going experience not unlike The Rocky Horror Picture Show. So it for sure warrants its own Monkees mashup called &#8220;The Roomies.&#8221; Oh, hi, Mashup. (Inside The Room joke) If you haven&#8217;t seen The Room yet, you probably should. At the very least so this mashup will make sense. But also for the LOL&#8217;s. Just know: You have to get through some pretty intensely uncomfortable sex scenes in the beginning. So don&#8217;t, like, watch it with your mom. Via The Daily What]]></description>

		<title>The End of the ?Black Swan? Trailer Had Me Laughing For Approx. 1:24 Seconds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Forgive my lateness to this one, but I finally sat down and devoted a few minutes of my time to watch Black Swan, the upcoming Darren Aronofsky movie starring Natalie Portman as a ballet dancer who is losing her mind. The film is choreographed by her boyfriend, once labeled by us as &#8220;HOT AS SH*T,&#8221; Benjamin Millepied, and also stars Mila Kunis, whose on-screen love-making sesh with Natalie will almost certainly propel millions of straight men into seeing a ballet movie. When, really, the real reason to see it is revealed at the very end of the trailer: Black Swan is set to be the most inspirational comedy of our time. Sorry, Norbit, afraid your title has been revoked.]]></description>

		<title>Baseball Pranks Are Better When They Use ?It?s Raining Men?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before the final game in my opposite-of-decorated high school hockey career, I was having a debate with my friend Dave &#8212; the guy who chose the music to play on the PA at our home games &#8212; about which would be the funniest possible song to blast as our team hit the ice. After several rejected selections (&#8220;What A Fool Believes&#8221;, &#8220;Tears In Heaven&#8221;), we decided that &#8220;It&#8217;s Raining Men&#8221; would be ideal, but Dave couldn&#8217;t acquire the CD in time for the game and we had to settle for the almost-as-funny &#8220;Ladies Night,&#8221; which he indeed blared over the loudspeakers during our warmups to my delight and everyone else&#8217;s confusion. Flash forward to last night, when the Arizona Diamondbacks played a prank on infielder Kelly Johnson. When Johnson came to bat, his teammates got the PA sound guy to play &#8212; you guessed it (by reading the large words at the top of the post) &#8212; &#8220;It&#8217;s Raining Men,&#8221; confirming all these years later that it is, in fact, the ultimate sports stadium introduction song. I&#8217;m so glad the D&#8217;Backs and 18-year-old me are on the same page:]]></description>

		<title>Don?t Feel So Bad About Losing Your Keys: Man Loses $1.4 Million Painting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This one takes Second Hand Embarrassment Syndrome to a new level: Some dude drunkenly lost, lost, a $1.4 million painting. Specifically, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s “Portrait of a Girl” (1857-58). Bloomberg.com reports: Kristyn Trudgeon and Tom Doyle co-owned the Corot and enlisted James Carl Haggerty &#8212; her acquaintance, his friend &#8212; as an agent to help sell it. Haggerty was to be paid $25,000 upon the sale. On July 28, according to the complaint, Doyle learned that a London dealer, Offer Waterman, was interested in buying the piece, valued at $1.35 million. So Haggerty met Waterman at a hotel bar to show him the painting, as you do, and got tanked with him, as you do. Then Haggerty left the hotel bar with the painting (after drunkenly &#8220;colliding with the doorman&#8221;), as you do, went home and woke up in the morning without the painting, AS YOU DON&#8217;T DO. You know those days when you wake up after a night of serious drinking and there is a split second when all is well and then EVERYTHING from the night before comes rushing back and manifests itself in the most giant headache you&#8217;ve ever had? Imagine that, plus losing a $1.4 million painting. And it&#8217;s not like it&#8217;s a suitcase full of money, it&#8217;s a painting. A work of art of immense historical value. And then imagine having to make that phone call saying that you don&#8217;t know where the painting is because you were too wasted. Now imagine she&#8217;s white. (Sorry, couldn&#8217;t resist A Time To Kill reference). &#8220;Yeah, I&#8217;ve checked everywhere. Under my bed, in the closet&#8230;It&#8217;s just not here! Have I retraced my steps? Well, the thing about that is that I don&#8217;t so much remember anything from last night&#8230;yeah, good idea! I&#8217;ll pray to Saint Anthony.&#8221; I want to throw up from my SHES right now. At least I&#8217;ve learned a lesson: Never get wasted whilst carrying around a valuable work of art that isn&#8217;t even mine. Oh, wait. I ALREADY KNEW THAT ONE.]]></description>

		<title>This Indian Helicopter Explodey Movie Gets My Foreign Film Oscar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a clip from the Indian film Magadheera, a $7.2 million blockbuster action movie that, judging from this clip, is also the greatest movie ever made. Hang on a sec, lemme watch Citizen Kane again real quick&#8230; Yup, confirmed. This movie is the greatest movie ever made. Congratulations, this movie: What was that dude&#8217;s original plan? Fight the helicopter with a machete? Save that sh*t for the Indian Machete, the film where a bunch of ripped, shirtless machetes dance for six hours. As awesome as the clip is, though, I&#8217;ll still always prefer the classics. (via Film Drunk)]]></description>
