What's Christmastime without an innapropriate theme song? A frew years back the Internet was gushing about Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake's "D*ck in A Box." Good times were had by all.
Right now, there's no undisputed champion of the dirty Christmas song, but I'd like to suggest one that SHOULD be 2009's Yuletide theme song -- The Nasty Midnighters' "Jingle These Balls."
The 3 minute-long dirty Christmas, sex-rap tour-de-force is very, very dirty so keep the kids away. So send the tots next door, crank up your computer speakers and let the Nasty Midnighters serenade you until you're weak in the knees.

It's been a few years since I've been out of college, so I guess I'm not "hip" to the trends. Like, what kinds of sweaters are cool to wear now. Or, are sweaters even cool any more? Were they ever? I guess not.
But thanks to the Internet, my one and only connection with the youth of today (outside of the scary teenagers who skateboard near my train station), I see there's a new and super hip way to take notes in class -- TYPEWRITERS! (thought I was gonna say iPhone, didn't you?)
Okay, so maybe just this one guy uses a typewriter to take notes in class. Doesn't matter. The video has appeared on Neatorama and here and a few other websites. It's hilarious. That means a lot of kids will see this video soon and, hopefully, a trend shall be born.
Typewriters in class? The future is here, people!

Comedian/actor T.J. Miller had a couple unsuccessful auditions for a role as a park ranger in the upcoming Warner Brothers live action version of the beloved children's cartoon Yogi Bear.
So T.J. Miller got, well, creative and put together this fairly incredible, pretty funny video of himself auditioning with a real, live, somewhat grumpy bear.
Needless to say, T.J. Miller landed a part in the film.

The Onion, the only news satire website that should be made required reading in every school, has pulled off a major coup -- they've plucked a real reporter, Suzanne Sena, from Fox News and added her to their Onion News Network, according to Media Bistro.
You can see Sena's first video here and judge for yourself how different news satire really is from the actual news.
