Prince once covered Radiohead's 'Creep' at a concert, then kept it offline for years. It's back.

0
0

Way back in 2008, Prince covered Radiohead's sexual weirdo hit "Creep" at Coachella, then click-blocked YouTube and anyone else trying to host it by claiming copyright infringement. This is a lot of baloney, because it's not his song! There are quotes from Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke from as far back as when it began in 2008, saying essentially, "WTF?"

Really? He's blocked it? Surely we should block it. Hang on a moment. Well, tell him to unblock it. It's our... song.

This has gone back and forth for years, but in October it was posted on YouTube again, and today Prince was like, "eh, wtf?" and tweeted it out to the masses:

Hey, he's a creep, he's a weirdo, and he does not own this intellectual property. So, enjoy!

Guy pranks his wife by taking videos instead of pics, and she falls for it every single time.

This man pulled the classic smartphone prank of telling his wife to pose for a photo, and then hitting the record button. Pretty much every callous person has done that to their significant other, but he did it over and over again, and miraculously, she kept taking the bait. Then, to really up the ante on being a jerk, he edited all the clips into a compilation and posted it online for the world to see. On the one hand, this video is adorable and hilarious. On the other hand, it probably will be evidence in a bitter divorce within the next five years. But that's no reason not to enjoy it.

The worst part is that this guy definitely knew what he was doing, and he was aware that his video would go viral. If you don't believe that, consider this: he's done it before. The video is actually the sequel to another one he posted in 2013, which already has more than 600,000 views.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ACpoOkNEcQ

The good news is that if she didn't leave him after the first video, she probably won't this time. They must have a really great relationship in every other way. Or maybe she's just superhumanly patient.

Computer game where you race to baby-proof your home is terrifying and hilarious.

0
0

Parents who have had to baby-proof their home know that it can seem like an endless struggle against an opponent (your baby) hell-bent on endangering itself—but what if it was fun? That's the idea behind the game Who's Your Daddy?, in which you can either play a grown-up trying desperately to baby-proof your home or a baby attempting to kill himself as fast as possible, using means like shoving forks into sockets, drowning himself in the tub, or chugging cleaning products. Dark? Maybe, but it looks fun. Even the chores you have to do in the game give you cool power-ups. And failing to protect a digital kid is still better than actually lying to a real kid, right?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPfZRjKv3-0

The maker of the game is trying to get it on Steam now, where it would be available for download on Linus, Mac, and Windows computers. Already, people on Reddit are clamoring for a multiplayer Kindergarten version.

Mark Zuckerberg posts Facebook pic with his baby, becomes new-parent stereotype.

Mark Zuckerberg posted a photo of himself with his daughter Max on Facebook. It's his first solo pic as a papa after the announcement with his wife Priscilla when their daughter was born. It's also the beginning of Zuckerberg's inevitable descent to becoming just like everyone else on Facebook. It'll start slow, with the baby pics, and then before we know it he'll be joking about the purchase of their first minivan, followed by an onslaught of pics from his first 5K race. But until then, this photo is very touching, and it's awesome that he's thrilled to be a parent:

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10102515545528391&set=a.529237706231.2034669.4&type=3&theater

It's also nice to see that Zuckerberg is actually using his paternity leave. It would have been tough if that picture was clearly taken underneath a conference room table, or next to a laptop with a bunch of code on the screen.

Married musicians made a medley of 2015's most memorable music.

The music medley can be used for evil, like when your middle school chorus teacher makes you sing a shortened collection of 1960s TV show themes. Or it can be used for good, like when married musicians Us the Duo recorded this medley of 2015's pop hits. Well, 2015's pop hits and at least one of 2014's pop hits. Because c'mon, guys. "Take Me to Church" is so last year. That aside, this is an enjoyable way to catch up on the year's pop hits, especially if you don't like DJ mashups.

YouTube musician and presumed huge nerd Cooper Carter set out to play the entire Star Wars opening theme by John Williams using only his many guitars, distortion pedals, and some video editing software. Good job, nerd.

What do you want, a medal? Perhaps presented to you by a princess in a grand hall (which is actually a really weird scene if you remove the music)? Well, too bad. This is Earth. There is a new Star Wars movie coming out, though, so that's cool.

Replacing Vader's dialogue with Trump is the most surreally hilarious 'Star Wars' reboot yet.

0
0

If you're a Star Wars nerd, you know that the voice of Darth Vader, James Earl Jones, was not the actor in the suit—so there's no reason his voice can't be replaced with someone else's. For example: Donald Trump. That's exactly what YouTube auteurs the Auralnauts did in their new video. In true form, no one around him can seem to really follow what Trump is saying, but that doesn't stop him from trying to take over the galaxy anyway. If you have a few minutes, you really should watch the whole thing. It's a surreal work of political art on the level of "Donald Trump Says 'China'"—at least make sure to catch "you're fired" at 3:35 and the pitch for Trump Steaks immediately after that. (Also pay attention to the Trump signs on all the Imperial spaceships, like in the 30 second intro.)

You never knew the Super Mario theme had lyrics, but they'll make you rethink your childhood.

0

Yes, that's right: the "Super Mario Bros. Theme" has lyrics, which is great news if you like getting lyrics to very catchy songs stuck in your head. As of December 1, the song has been available on Joysound karaoke systems in Japan. If you hope to sing along in English, here's the translation of some of the lyrics, according to Destructoid (you can see the full lyrics to the song on their site):

Today, full of energy, Mario is still running, running

Go save Princess Peach! Go!

Today, full of energy, Mario runs

Today, full of energy, jumping!

Today, full of energy, searching for coins

Today, keep going, Mario!

The lyrics make Mario sound like the video game version of cocaine. Hey! Maybe that fun game we all played during our childhoods was just about a desperate plumber on coke; Princess Peach was the perfect high that he could never find, no matter how many castles he tried; and Bowser was a symbol of the monster that is addiction.

Here's a big band version of the song with lyrics from a few years back. Don't worry; you're safe from lyrical earworms while watching this version as long as you don't understand Japanese:

And the "Super Mario Bros. Theme" isn't the only famous instrumental that has surprise official lyrics: the original Star Trek theme also has words, written by Gene Roddenberry himself:

This guy surprised his girlfriend with an adorable puppy, and to top that surprise, he hid something even more life-changing under the little critter's collar. 

If you are currently planning on proposing to your partner and there are no canines involved, don't bother. After seeing this, any puppyless proposal will get an automatic "no."

A Sikh basketball player got turned into a stupid meme, then his friend was like, hold up, Internet.

0
0

The dangers of being memed have been explored before, but that doesn't stop people from doing it to others all the time. The meme made from an image of one-time Trinity University basketball player Darsh Singh is particularly damaging, because it promotes ignorance about an entire culture. Singh is a Sikh and wears a turban as part of his religion. Singh's friend Greg Worthington saw the meme being passed around and decided to speak out about it, and his message went viral. According to Worthington, it sounds like Singh might have too much going on to address it himself:

Let me tell you why this shit isn't funny. I know this guy and his name's not 'Muhammad.' He's not Arab, he's Punjabi....

Posted by Greg Worthington on Saturday, December 5, 2015

He writes:

Let me tell you why this shit isn't funny. I know this guy and his name's not 'Muhammad.' He's not Arab, he's Punjabi. He's not even Muslim, he's a Sikh. His name is Darsh Singh and he's a US citizen, born and bred. That jersey he's wearing in this pic, it currently sits in a Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC because he made US history as the NCAA's first turbaned Sikh American basketball player for Trinity University in my hometown of San Antonio. He was co-captain of that team when he played there. He's worked in US Intelligence with the National Security Agency in the past and currently manages financial portfolios and hedge funds for some of the most compassionate companies in the US. Above all those things, he's a really nice guy, very funny, and he's a great friend of my younger brother whom I was more than happy to befriend myself. 

People need to understand, this stuff hurts people. You might think it's funny but that's mainly because you don't know the guy. Perhaps if you did, then you would see this differently. But even if I didn't know Darsh, I still wouldn't think this was funny. Why? Because things like this pic teach people to be afraid of those who are different than you. What you might not know is that Sikhs have a history in the US and abroad of being mistaken for being Muslim and thus being accused of terrorism. This usually leads to them being attacked and even killed because someone stupid thought they deserved to be beaten, injured, or killed because of their religion. But even if he was a Muslim or if he was Arab, this still doesn't make the joke okay and it still doesn't give you reason to believe that person is inherently evil or that they deserve harm.

Do the world a favor and educate yourself. Get to know people who are different than you and learn about them as much as you can. Knowing one or two or even 15 people different than you is not enough. You need to be networked with groups of people who are not like you to begin to truly understand just how much this stuff hurts people like Darsh.

And here's Singh standing next to his jersey in a damn museum!

In response to Worthington's post, a Twitter campaign has started with the hashtag #BeLikeDarsh:

Now someone should check in with Singh about transitioning from a meme into a campaign.

A young man who goes by "shiturd" on Imgur truly lived up to his name with a viral prank on his poor mother. Knowing that the older generation is baffled by smartphone texting shortcuts, he programmed a very specific one into his mom's phone. It was designed to take effect whenever she asked him to feed her beloved dogs…

Well done, shiturd. Of course, there's only one way to celebrate such a successful prank:

Kelly Clarkson's super nerdy family Christmas card may hold a clue to her baby's name.

0
0

Since it's pretty clear that Jon Snow is alive and there's not much to read into in Game of Thronesepisodes, interviews, or casting information anymore, let's move on. And read into Kelly Clarkson's Game of Thrones-themed holiday card. Like the HBO show it's inspired by, this family photo has layers of clues that you can only understand if you pay close attention, find the symbols, and read a lot of manic articles on the Internet.

https://www.instagram.com/p/_DC7cNozoM/

Clarkson shared her family's holiday card on Instagram. It features herself, husband Brandon Blackstock, daughter River Rose, and Blackstock's children from a previous marriage, Seth and Savannah. They're standing in front of some type of manor, which could believably be a Calabasas mansion or a Riverrun shed. The family all wears red and green old-timey clothes, and the font is total GoT theme song-style. The card says "Merry Christmas from the Blackstocks," and also says "Winter is coming" with the name "Blackstock" underneath.

Winter is coming? Is this a run-of-the-mill Game of Thrones reference, or a hint about pregnant Clarkson's soon-to-be-born child? People notes the message has "some wondering if Clarkson might be hinting at her future baby's name." Some are wondering!

The photo's caption seems to reinforce that theory with the hashtag combination "#winteriscoming #riverisnotworried." And it's easy to believe that if a couple names one kid River, the next one might also have a nature-related name too. Of course there's no way to know for sure, so the only thing to do is go wild with theories until the baby is born or Game of Thrones comes back to distract us.

'Modern Family' star jokes about doctors taking the cancer out of his face.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who plays Mitchell Pritchett on the TV series Modern Family, revealed he had skin cancer removed from his face in a lighthearted Instagram post. He thanked his medical team, and made sure to jokingly tease the makeup artists who work on the show, because they're the ones who will have to conceal it for him:

Thank you to Dr. Bennett & his entire team for taking the cancer out of my face. Good luck hiding the stitches tomorrow @modernfamily_makeuphair!#youwannaapieceofme #phantommask#spf75

Here's the makeup team getting Jesse camera-ready a few weeks back:

Good luck to Jesse on a swift recovery, and to the makeup team on hiding those stitches. Now he can get back to earning that giant pile of cash that only comes from a successful sitcom.
