How good was the season premiere of The Bachelorette on Monday night? So good!  We're only one episode in and we can already tell this is going to be such a good season for several reasons.

Ah, people of Twitter, you can be so dumb. This week's Tumblr showcases that exact sentiment by compiling people's random tweets at brands that are ridiculous, pointless, irrationally aggressive and/or just plain dumb. From complaints about the music that @Walgreens plays in their store, to completely unrelated questions that seem to expect an answer, to [...]

Think Frodo toting a massive bag of candy. Add in a huge King Kandy Candy Castle and you have Candy Land the movie, really a Lord of the Rings-type epic set in a world of candy, according to writer Jonathan Aibel. While the Candy Land and Lord of the Rings connection is quite a stretch [...]

“A tent.” “A bomb.” “Benito Mussolini.” Not the descriptions you'd want to hear about a newly unveiled statue, especially one of a former Pope. A new statue went up outside of Rome's Termini train station last Wednesday in honor of Pope John Paul II. That is, if you could tell it's supposed to be the [...]

The slogan goes, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." But the Obamas recovered nicely in their second visit to Buckingham Palace.
