OK Go's new music video was filmed in zero gravity, because it was the only idea left.

0

Music video creators power pop band Ok Go released a new video for their song "Upside Down and Inside Out," and it's set in close to zero gravity (thanks to the use of a reduced gravity aircraft). You know how, when a sitcom goes on for a while, its episodes start getting increasingly whacky and implausible? That's basically OK Go and their music videos.

As a reminder, previous OK Go videos have featured them doing complex choreography on treadmills:

And spelling out their band name using GPS:

Performing in zero gravity was the only thing they had left.


Unicorn horns are level-10 unicorn hair, and a hair must for aspiring uni-humans.

In a bittersweet relief from the incessant flow of hair color trends, unicorn horns are the new hair thing people are talking about and trying. As the name suggests, it is hair piled—typically in a braid—to look like a horn.

This variation of unicorn hair is like the final stage of evolution for unicorn humans. The previous step being the more basic multi-colored unicorn hair look, sans horn.

Cosmopolitan pointed to YouTuber Venus Angelic's 2012 tutorial to show that unicorn horns aren't exactly novel, but it's only recently that the look has gained public attention.

The unicorn horn is a very flexible style. It can double as Dr. Seuss cosplay if needed.

Now here's that tutorial so you, too, can look like a My Little Pony.

Lots of people complain about their schools. This kid wins with onions in the toilet.

There are probably lots of things you hated about school when you went there—the early hours, the cruel teachers, the bullying classmates—but everyone can agree that the worst thing of all about high school was the people who brought bags of chopped red onions to school just to throw them in the toilet. And this teen nails it:

School is the worst.

Vietnamese restaurant The Hanoi Bike Shop slips obscene phrase onto poster and no one can stop them.

0
0

The Hanoi Bike Shop, a Vietnamese restaurant in Glasgow, Scotland, made a poster for a noodle night that a few members of the public felt was offensive. They were upset because the poster featured the words "Phat Phuc," but the "offensive" phrase actually means something in Vietnamese.

The words are pronounced "Fet Fook" in Vietnamese, and translate to "Happy Buddha". The poster has been cleared by the UK's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), so those that found it offensive can go "happy" right off.

https://twitter.com/Hanoibikeshop/status/694147208871043072

Fans of the restaurant agreed, and had some fun with the word "phuc" too:

It looks like noodles and a good sense of humor win this round. When restaurants want to have some fun with their signage, they'll always find a way.

I ducking love you.


Obama congratulates kid who aced the AP Calc exam, which almost makes math seem worthwhile.

Last May, which is forever ago in teenage time, Landon Labuskes took the Advanced Placement exam for AB Calculus. Of the over 300,000 kids around the world who sat through the multi-hour test, Labuskes was one of 12 who got every single question right, the Washington Post reported. To add to his bragging rights of being in the top .004 percent of test takers, Labuskes was only 14 when he took the exam.

While he learnt months ago he'd gotten a five (the highest possible score) on the test, Labuskes didn't discover that he completely aced it until the College Board told his Virginia high school in January. Once Labsukes's feat became public knowledge, it reached the ears of well-known people, like President Obama. Obama tweeted his congrats and an invitation to Labuskes:

https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/697824490344968192

Doesn't he know Labuskes only took the AB and not the BC exam? Oh wait, both are wicked hard. 

This isn't the first time Obama has reached out to smart kid via Twitter:

https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/644193755814342656?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Labuskes's mom, who spoke with the Washington Post, said her son celebrated his perfect score with a trip to Dairy Queen. An invitation from the President to join the White House's annual science fair is cool, but Blizzards are hard to top.

This little girl loves her dad's unfunny dad joke even more than he does.

Most dads go their whole lives without finding a willing audience for their terrible dad jokes. They just watch their children roll their eyes again and again at their incessant puns, but that will never make them stop. Dads would explode if they didn't tell dad jokes. This dad, however, has lucked out. His daughter Bea is only a toddler, but she loves his joke so much, she can't stop laughing at the setup.

Her "silly daddy" is a very fortunate man. There hasn't been an audience as forgiving as Bea in the history of comedy (with this exception of The Tonight Show).

Instagram is adding video counts, which will make stalking your ex more difficult.

Instagram is a wonderful app for many reasons, but mostly for innocent stalking. A new update to the platform, though, will require one be even more careful when attempting to covertly navigate another's profile. TechCrunch reported that, in an effort to attract advertisers and content creators, the app is updating its video tool to include a video counts "over the next few weeks."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyRfTMq0i9A

This sucks for two reasons. First of all, you can soon see how few people are watching your videos.

https://twitter.com/deetheshortee/status/694108529062338561

Secondly, there's now there's something else to worry about aside from accidentally double-tapping someone's photo. Playing a video for three seconds counts as a view, so inadvertently hovering over a video and triggering it to start, or unintentionally clicking on one is likely to count as a view.

https://twitter.com/originalhoneill/status/670791671454539777

The video poster likely won't be able to see who specifically those views are from, but still: the fear is real. 

Forever yours.

Ryan Reynolds says he fell in love with Blake Lively while on a double date with someone else.

Ryan Reynolds fell for his wife Blake Lively while they were on a double date with other people. He recounted the story to People as part of an interview in conjunction with SiriusXM. 

Not surprisingly, Reynolds said it really sucked for the other two people on the double date:

About a year after Green Lantern had come and gone and we were both single we went on a double date – she was on a date with another guy and I was on a date with another girl – and it was like the most awkward date for the respective parties because we were just like fireworks coming across.

Good to see Ryan Reynolds finding time to discuss something other than Deadpool.

Reynolds also thinks it helps to be friends before you become lovers:

We were buddies for a long time, which I think is the best way to have a relationship, to start as friends. 

It also helps if have lots in common, like being famous and attractive. Despite their fantastic relationship, he does admit that he was super annoying during the birth of their first child.

A U.S. politician just vaped on the floor of Congress.

Republican Duncan Hunter, a congressman from California, just vaped while legislating to prove a point to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee that vaping should be allowed on airplanes since it emits only water vapor, not smoke. That's right: Congress vapes, bro. 

https://vine.co/v/inb1xHMmhWH

"There's no burning," he said, sounding like a dude from a quad near you. "There's nothing noxious about this whatsoever."

His vaping was for naught, however, since Congress upheld rules barring vaping tobacco on airplanes. 

It's not TV.


This guy spent a year tossing eggs at his mom when she least expected it.

If tragedy + time = comedy, then eggs + time = viral video. OK, maybe that math doesn't quite work, but this video of a guy repeatedly throwing eggs at his unsuspecting mother is delightful. That might sound kind of mean, but it's not because the mom catches the egg every damn time (even if she proceeds to drop it after). And no matter how many times she yells "No!" she also seems to genuinely enjoy the egg toss. You will too. Unless, y'know, your heart is made of concrete or something.

Wait for it.

Letting it out.

Alison Brie once peed all over a vintage 'Mad Men' costume, then went straight to the set like a champ.

While promoting How to Be Single on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Alison Brie shared a memory from the set of Mad Men that everyone can relate to, give or take the vintage costume. In brief, Brie came just short of understanding how she was supposed to wear her costume such that she pissed all over it. Brie says it more eloquently.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=WCPKIbFkLOk

"This is getting sort of graphic," she said, before describing the "crazy hover" she executed while peeing. Alas, the public bathroom squat which all ladies are familiar with did not ensure Brie's accuracy. She did "a full pee" onto her underwear and into her costume. Then she went straight to set.

"It happens more often that you think," costume designer Janie Bryant told Brie. This statement is true well beyond the set of Mad Men

Veteran publicly shames 'worthless dirtbag' who stole his truck with a hand-painted sign.

When Army veteran James Huff woke up to find that his truck had been stolen from his driveway, he made sure that the thief knew exactly whom they had disrespected. Huff painted a message on a 4x8 piece of plywood for the thief to (eventually) see—and a note for the bandit's mother, too.

"I hope your mother sees this" is the harshest part.

 Huff really isn't someone you'd want to mess with, whether you're a car thief or an enemy combatant. 

Congratulations on supporting our troops, even if it's the bare minimum of just not stealing their hard-earned stuff.
