This dog stealing food from the counter thinks he's getting away with it. He's not.
Ah, the imperfect crime. (via)
The repeated looks towards the door to make sure his owner is out of sight is a clear sign this thieving dog understands that what he's doing is wrong. He also seems to be under the mistaken impression that, since his owner can't see him, he somehow can't be heard jumping up to steal food, even though he's making so much noise that the neighbors are probably concerned.
Post by Martin Nicenboim.
Just the fact that he bothers to pause to see if the coast is still clear makes him a master thief compared to most dogs. That said, he's still got nothing on the queen of dog thieves, Lucy the chicken nugget-stealing Beagle.

50 Cent offers to donate $750k if Floyd Mayweather proves he can read a page of 'Harry Potter.'
This video does not have the production quality of most of 50's efforts.
50 Cent wants boxer Floyd Mayweather to prove he can read, and he's willing to give $750,000 to charity if the pugilist can read a page of 'Harry Potter' out loud in a video.
As inspiring as the Ice Bucket Challenge has been (especially the ones that go hilariously wrong), the game of celebrity tag that's going on on YouTube can get a little repetitive—at least this is a new twist. Granted, his calling Mayweather illiterate would have had more punch if he hadn't screwed up saying "ESL" right off the bat, although ESL/ALS is a bit of a tongue-twister. Fifty has been tormenting Mayweather for a while now, primarily making fun of him over the fact that Mayweather's ex-fiancée Shantel Jackson left him for Nelly. Here you can see Mayweather explain a bit about his ongoing feuds with 50 and T.I., although I'm still not exactly sure what everyone is upset about.

Man arrested after failing to put the toilet seat down.
If she can't sit, you must convict. (Via Cass County)
Thaddeus Morgan, 24, lives with his sister in Fargo, N.D., where he and his sister share a bathroom. They were peacefully co-existing until, one day, he did the unthinkable. He left the seat up.
Dunh, dunh, dunnnnnnnnh.
HIs sister went to the bathroom, found the bowl shimmering with inconvenience, and started a fight with her brother. That's when he lost it.
According to WDAY, "Morgan pushed and hit her, then tried to stop her from making a 911 call."
Pushing and hitting over the toilet seat... good thing she didn't put the toilet paper on the wrong way.
Asst. State's Attorney Leah Viste told WDAY, "It does appear that it was a simply a sibling fight that got out of control, yeah."
Morgan plead guilty to charges of simple assault and interference with telephone during emergency call. He was sentenced to one year supervised probation, and anger management training.
It didn't have to be like this.
It has already been scientifically proven that it makes more sense to leave the toilet seat down when sharing it with women. Both genders use it in the down position, but only men ever need it up.
Science, dude. Now start putting the toilet seat back down or learn to just leave it down and pee with better aim.
And don't hit your sister, douchebag.

Everyone's favorite tap-dancing, show-tune singing Wolverine can lift a terrifying amount of weight.
I can't tell if it's way more badass that he's in his socks, or way less.
Hugh Jackman. You may know him as Wolverine, or Jean Valjean, or Van Helsing, or Memphis from Happy Feet, or "that guy who carries all the dance numbers at the Academy Awards." But when he's not making ladies and men alike swoon with lust and envy on screen and stage, what does Jackman do? He makes women and men alike swoon on Instagram with his workout videos, apparently. This video posted by the star shows him deadlifting 180kg (396lbs) in preparation for the role of Blackbeard.
I kinda thought the big thing about Blackbeard was that he had a huge beard that he lit on fire during battles, not so much that he was a muscular beast, but I guess Jackman figured "why not both?"

Possibly the finest commercial for a theme restaurant in New York.
Actually, the name of the restaurant is Troy, but whatever.
Did you ever wonder what your ancestors from the early ages or medieval era ate for lunch? Me neither! But "possibly the finest theme restaurant" (can there be such a thing) in Staten Island (nope) has answered that question for you anyway. That is, if your ancestors were from Europe it seems. But whose weren't, am I right? I'm not.
Were they trying to be funny on purpose?
Gawker called the restaurant to find out and were told, "Troy is completely my idea as a restaurant and the commercial alone. My script my directing and actors casting... I deliberately took an actor with an accent and it made the audience interested in a restaurant."
True.
"No gimmicks, no kidding. Just the best of the past."
Well, maybe just the fire-breathing wooden dragon. But other than that, NO GIMMICKS.
"Simply said, the empire of taste."
Notice, he says it so simply, he doesn't even move his mouth.

Is this video of a guy running into a tornado the most idiotically dangerous selfie ever taken?
Dude's got bloomin' onions.
This YouTube video of a guy getting out of his car in the Australian Outback to pose for a selfie with a "dust devil" might be the craziest video selfie ever shot. The Aussie bro was driving through the desert when he happened upon a mini-tornado forming nearby. Far from being frightened by it, he seemed to be absolutely stoked by the chance encounter, which presented him with the opportunity to put his life on the line for a shot at Internet glory.
To say his accent is thick is like saying the tornado was dusty, but I tried to transcribe his narration as best I could:
"Oright. Ah just past Dackerool Station and I just been watchin' this willie willie formin'. Checkaht... [no clue] That's absolute dirt devil startin' right theh. Far out that is gramph. Time to run in on this thing. Jesus Chroyst, that is huge! That is absolutely cuuuude. Yeaaaah. Yeah. Ack, ack. Gaht! [panting while running. Possible pants-shitting.] Ohsi! Oohooo! Oh, ooh, ooh!"
The footage is so fantastic that its validity was immediately called into question by commenters who are divided as to whether it's real or created with special effects.
The video was uploaded to YouTube by Terry Tufferson, the guy who uploaded an equally controversial video of a shark encounter back in June. The description of the tornado vid reads, "Since posting the shark vid I've been getting heaps of videos sent my way. I couldn't pass this one. Check this guy out, what do you think?"

Now this is how you spend your wedding night.
I have to admit, this somehow looks magical. Cheap, but magical.
Redditor Turnaroundslowly just got married...to the perfect woman. According to Turnaroundslowly, the bride got very drunk at the reception and then demanded to go to Taco Bell. It must have been within walking distance of wherever the reception was (or wherever their hotel/house was), because clearly she didn't need a car. I wish you both all the happiness, although it's obvious you're already well on your way (not including the next morning—a drunken late-night meal like that and you could end up skipping a few steps in the "getting too comfortable with your spouse in the bathroom" process).

Is this the single worst Ice Bucket Challenge attempt? Or the absolute best?
Prelude to pain.
Another Ice Bucket Challenge fail video?
Yes. Another Ice Bucket Challenge fail video.
Is this one worth it?
Yes, it's worth it. It's six seconds long and it involves a weirdly muscular kid being injured.
Oh. Why didn't you say so? Roll tape!
Do you think we'll be watching Ice Bucket Challenge videos for much longer?
There's a billion people on Facebook. It's going to take a while before each and every one of them uploads their own clip.
So, another week or so?
We should be done with all of them by Thanksgiving. Settle in. (And don't forget to donate!)

A guy claiming to be Scott Weiland was in jail for 4 weeks before cops realize it's not the former STP singer.
Remember the 90s? He doesn't. (via)
This story is messed up on so many levels. First, it involves professional mess Scott Weiland, former stinger of Stone Temple Pilots. Second, it involves a screw up by the Beverly Hills Police Department and TMZ so ridiculous that the only thing missing is a statement from Eddie Murphy and Judge Reinhold.
It started four weeks ago when cops responded to a call about guy stealing razors from a Beverly Hills drug store. While searching for the stolen razors, the guy told cops he was Scott Weiland, and after they found a bag of crystal meth, they believed him. To the average person, that makes perfect sense. But you'd think cops would need a little more convincing than a bag of drugs, red hair, and a few bars of "Interstate Love Song." Like, say, an ID.
They didn't, and "Scott Weiland" was arrested and tossed in jail, where he's been sitting since late July. If that wasn't bad enough, the BHPD sent a statement to TMZ titled "Celebrity Arrest," which read, "The suspect, former Stone Temple Pilots band member Scott Weiland (46 years of age), was taken into custody..."
While TMZ has been reporting on the story, the actual Scott Weiland has been playing and recording with his new band. He posted a response to Facebook last night informing TMZ to give their legal team a heads up about the upcoming lawsuit.

Nice to see he's alive and well(?), but how bad are things for Scott Weiland when a random tweaker busted for petty theft claiming to be you makes so much sense to everyone involved that it takes four weeks for anyone to notice? Including Scott Weiland.
The only thing worse is being someone so messed up by drugs that you make a convincing Scott Weiland impersonator.

No matter how bad your morning was, it can't have been worse than this poor guy's.
Image taken seconds before one man completely gave up on his day working out.
The title of this video is in Polish, but Google Translate has it as: "Polish roads. Well what do you do? Do nothing."
"Do nothing" is the underlying message of this video. For when you do things, this can happen.
Going to bookmark this. Any time I think things aren't going my way, I'm going to watch this and remember: it could be worse.

Building residents unhappy with neighbor using garbage chute to dispose of trash bags full of piss.
Recycling rules get so confusing, who can remember where to dump your pee bags?
(Image via Brownstoner)
Neighbors, right? They're noisy! They smell up the hallways with their cooking! They fill giant trash bags with their own pee, then toss those trash bags down the garbage chute to pretty much explode all over the basement floor!
That last one might not be as common just yet, but it only takes one tastemaker to start a trend, and that tastemaker lives in a building in Ft. Greene, Brooklyn with some very fed up neighbors. (Is it sexist that I'm assuming this is a dude?)
According to Brownstoner, a mysterious tenant of 301 Cumberland Street in Brooklyn has been plaguing their building with these human waste bombs since November of 2013. The anonymous collector sends his kitchen-sized garbage bags full of pee down the garbage chute, causing them, more often than not, to burst when they land in the basement because that's what happens when trash bags full of pee are dropped from a great height. Science.
After many complaints from the neighbors, the building's management company has finally decided to do something about the problem. They put up a sign.
(Via Brownstoner)
Um, I'm no lawyer, but unless the lease explicitly stated that tenants are not allowed to cause dirigibles full of urine to Hindenberg all over the basement floor, they don't have a leg to stand on.
Not sure how they'll inspect apartments for the culprit. Unless they find someone who removed their toilet to make a second bedroom (yes, in New York, this is quite plausible).
Perhaps things will calm down for a bit as the culprit stops sending his pee down the chute while he prepares for what will surely be the grossest Ice Bucket Challenge video yet.

Here's Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid making awkward jokes about Asians to an Asian Chamber of Commerce.
"I'll be here all week. And for the next 1.5 years. And given incumbency rates, until I die."
Oh Harry Reid, you may be the leader of the putatively more minority-friendly Democratic party in the Senate, but that doesn't mean you're not a 74-year-old white guy from the great State of Nevada, which is 66% non-Hispanic white today—but was 84% in 1990. This whole "roomful of Asians" thing might still be kind of a novel thing for him, which explains his very cheerful delivery of jokes about Asian stereotypes (but he wants to make sure they know they're not smarter) and names to the Las Vegas Asian Chamber of Commerce. I don't think he had any malice, but he's definitely failing the first lesson of joke-telling: know your audience. Sen. Reid was at the Las Vegas Asian Chamber of Commerce to convince the group to endorse the Democratic candidate in the race for Lieutenant Governor...which he did not do.
