Man Asks Wife to Slap Him Every Morning, Films Results
This man asked his wife to slap him awake every day for 15 days. (We don't know why.) She filmed it every day. This sounds like it could get old. It doesn't get old. It gets amazing. Just watch.

Andrew Mason, now-former-CEO of Groupon, resigned today. Well, actually, he was more fired, really. And he told everybody. How do we know? Because he also publicly released his own letter of not-resignation, because it was going to leak anyway. Here's what it said.

Woman Letting Internet Name Her Baby for $5,000

The Best (and Most Hilarious) Screaming Goat Remixes on the Web
Now that we think of it, why wouldn't you add footage of screaming goats to as many songs as you possibly could? Needless to say, this new internet trend makes much more sense to us than Harlem Shake videos or teenagers throwing gallons of milk into the air...

Oscar Fever Movies We’re Super Embarrassed By Now
The Academy Awards are this Sunday, and people are placing bets and getting generally riled up about who will be taking home Oscars.

How the Internet is Reacting to Playstation 4
So this video does a pretty good job of summing up the PS4 press conference yesterday, if you didn't have several hours to spend watching streaming video about a new gaming console. Some people are excited. Others are underwhelmed. Still others are making memes, because this is the internet, and that's what people do. Here are some of our favorites.
Check Out This Amazing, Gigantic LEGO Ball Contraption
We only know a few things about the person who made this, and these are things we've deduced. They own a lot of LEGOs. They have an ENORMOUS room. They also have a lot of spare time and patience. And they don't mind the sound of plastic clanking together...
‘Harlem Shake’ Jumps Shark, Freaks Everyone Out With ‘Twin Peaks’ Version
Well, here's something we weren't planning to see when we woke up this morning. It's a 'Twin Peaks' tribute Harlem Shake video. What's really got us is that 'Twin Peaks' star Kyle MacLachlan is actually in this. Although, to be fair, he did do 'Showgirls...
Lonely? Here’s How to Really Wallow in Valentine’s Day Misery
Being sad, alone and pathetic is sort of a specialty of mine.
