This is from the 2009 Western Conference finals, and we have no idea why it just showed up on YouTube yesterday.

Normally Iâd not bat an eye at Nadya Suleman appearing on the Today Show, but this morningâs segment was so positively insane that it really is worth noting. The entire segment went on for nine batshit minutes, but the appearance was so insane that itâs worth watching in its entirety. View »

A Trippy Tour of Wichitaâs Abandoned Amusement Park
âNo Joy,â a short film by Mike Perry, was filmed at Joyland Amusement Park, which has been closed since 2004. While it doesnât have the pathos of the Six Flags New Orleans that weâve grown so fond of, it still has the same nostalgic creepiness. View »

The situation was Argentinaâs most famous and successful team, River Plate, being relegated for the first time in their history.

The Undefeated: Sarah Palin Will Destroy Us All
Hereâs a trailer for The Undefeated, the ironically named new âdocumentaryâ about Sarah Palin and her quest for world domination. The trailer is as exaggerated as Palinâs talking points.
