Ashley Wagner's "Bullshit" Moment Is The First Meme Of The Sochi Games

It's safe to say American figure skater Ashley Wagner was expecting a better score than that. Her face—along with all pretense—dropped after seeing the judges' thoughts on her short program in ladies team competition.

Bank of America Sends Credit Card Offer to "Lisa Is a Slut McIntire"

Bank of America Sends Credit Card Offer to "Lisa Is a Slut McIntire"

On Thursday, freelance writer Lisa McIntire's mother received a credit card offer from Bank of America sort of addressed to her daughter. There was one tiny difference, though, in the name; instead of Lisa McIntire, the letter was addressed to a "Lisa Is a Slut McIntire."

Religious College Produces Epic War-Themed Anti-Pornography Video

by Gabrielle Bluestone
Darendukes

What I learned:
Watching pornography is exactly like getting shot in World War 2.

"A lonely, confused young man gets addicted to pornography. His roommates know, but they do nothing to help him," a voice intones over somber violins at the beginning of a four-minute anti-masturbation ad from Brigham Young University-Idaho that only gets weirder as it goes.

I love these Kimmel segments.

As the late night world said goodbye to Jay Leno Thursday night, Jimmy Kimmel ignored the fuss and did what Jimmy Kimmel does best: get celebrities, especially Matt Damon, to make fun of themselves.

This is incredible:
"I am going to beat the living fuck out him," he (DMX) told TMZ. "I am breaking every rule in boxing to make sure I fuck him right up. Once I am done with him, I am going to whip my dick out and piss on him, right in his motherfucking face."

I hope DMX kills that sorry sack of shit.

Couple who killed each other found four months after another was shot just a few months ago

by Jarrod Allen
Darendukes

Whoa. Haunted apartment.

A northwest Austin apartment becomes the scene of a strange set of circumstances, like something you'd see on CSI.

This one even has police just a little shocked.  A homicide over the weekend leaves a man and a woman dead, apparently by the same gun.  Sergeant Brian Miller says a downstairs neighbor at the Great Hills Apartments in the Arboretum area called 9-1-1 when she found blood dripping onto her patio, "One body was found on the porch, which would explain the blood dripping down.  And the other body was actually found inside the residence.  And that was the male that was found inside the residence and he was in the process of dialing 911."

Miller says that apartment, number 2634, is the same one where a man was shot, allegedly by his girlfriend, just four months ago.  Charles Sanders and Remedios De Machibya were both killed in Friday night's incident.

The mysterious, 15th century Voynich Manuscript is full of codes and bizarre illustrations. Most experts believe it's a hoax, a nonsense book created to fire our imaginations. But now there's new evidence that it may be written in a lost Aztec language, Nahuatl.

9/11 Truther Sneaked Into Super Bowl By Telling Security He Was Late

by Barry Petchesky on Deadspin, shared by Tom Scocca to Gawker

Wow. I didn't watch the press conference, but there's a video of the incident in the article.

The most memorable quote from the Super Bowl was, unexpectedly, "Investigate 9/11. 9/11 was perpetrated by people within our own government." But how in the hell did that guy make it past so many levels of security to interrupt Malcolm Smith's press conference in the first place? Pretty easily, it turns out.

What can we actually learn from the UK's first marijuana 'overdose'?

by Robert T. Gonzalez

That's fucking retarded.

What can we actually learn from the UK's first marijuana 'overdose'?

Gemma Moss recently became the first woman in Britain "ruled to have been poisoned to death by smoking cannabis," her sudden death referred to by tabloids as "the tragic proof that cannabis can kill." But Moss's story, while undeniably sad, has told us next to nothing about the dangers of pot. At the same time, its coverage has distracted from other, more practical conversations about drug safety and research.

OMFG THAT IS TERRIFYING!!

An unbelievably gruesome epidemic is ravaging starfish populations

A mysterious illness has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of starfish on North America's west coast, and its symptoms are horrifying. Dubbed "sea star wasting syndrome," the arms of an infected individual will twist into knots, develop lesions, and finally crawl away in opposite directions until they tear away from its body, allowing its insides to spill out.
