In 99.9% of cases dogs way rule over cats. The other little percentage involves two things; feline videos totally dominate on these here interwebs and if you toss both in the air Fido will probably break something while Kitty will land on her feet and then walk away and ignore you because you just interrupted her 8th nap.

I’ve never personally had many problems with ordering items from Amazon, and I do it ALL the time, but I’ve never tried to order a TV from them like Seth Horvitz did. The thing is that Amazon doesn’t ship a lot of their items out, and a lot of the time acts as a online retailing service for other merchants. This is how Seth got into the weird spot he got into, one of those merchants really messed up.

The added country lyrics this time around were that he was naked (and apparently intoxicated) when he crashed his Trans Am and later threatened to shoot the arresting officers.

Almost all girls grow up on Barbie. It’s just part of the deal, and we all know she looks ridiculous. But still, it’s pretty weird to see Barbie’s dimensions drawn out on a real lady. Almost all girls grow up on Barbie. It’s just part of the deal, and we all know she looks ridiculous.
Kids stuff anything they can in their noses and mouths and ears and… I know this to be true because I’ve told my 4-year-old, “Don’t stick (insert random plastic toy item) into (ear, nose, mouth…) so many times I can’t begin to keep count.

NBC had a D’ohlympics moment during a rare, non-tape-delayed segment (otherwise known as “live”) of the women’s water polo match between Spain and the United Steats States. NBC cut to an underwater view of the action and just as the broadcaster commented, ‘You see a lot of suit grabbing going on underwater,’ US player Kamie Craig tugged on an opposing Spanish player’s swimsuit, exposing her la sandia (aka watermelon) (aka breast) for the world to see. Meanwhile, the network is being accused of some rather dramatic editing on their tape-delayed broadcast of the women’s gymnastics competition in order to ramp up the suspense artificially.

Beloved childhood book characters The Berenstain Bears also have an upcoming promotion with Chick-fil-A, so will they be following in the furry footsteps of the muppets in opposition? Sort of, but not really.
Keep reading for the letter from the Bears posted on their official website and read the slightly more condemning statement posted by publisher HarperCollins that has since been removed!
America’s favorite found-footage horror franchise is back! (Sorry Blair Witch, you done’ got left behind.) Picking up where Paranormal Activity 2 left off (the third installment was a prequel – and a disappointing one at that), PA4 is directed by PA3 vets Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman and bears the tagline “All of the activity has led to this.” After a good bit of teasing, Paramount Pictures finally released the first official trailer today, and it looks to be a teen-centric take on the usual Paranormal Activity formula – which has not been a bad thing 66% of the time so far! PLUS, find out about Paramount’s special Facebook promotion in which you can help your hometown get an early screening of the flick!

One of the many great individual performances was a vault so spectacular by McKayla Maroney that it literally dropped a judge’s jaw! See the vault and a close up image of the stunned judge in question.

For 99% of the human population Speedos are a HORRIBLE idea. Tom is the 1% folks!

As a bonus I added an older clip from the same YouTube user of another little guy getting a belly rub and yawning. You’re welcome.

The Board of Trustees at Penn State University went straight to the top by hiring former Director of the F.B.I. Louis Freeh to conduct an independent investigation of the school in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal. The results are now in and it’s hard to imagine that they could be anymore damning of late head football coaching legend Joe Paterno and other university heads. The conclusion is that these leaders, “failed to protect against a child sexual predator harming children for over a decade.”
Katie Holmes just quickly settled a surprise divorce from Tom Cruise, and although there’s a lot of speculation that Tom’s fervent involvement with Scientology caused a huge problem problem for the marriage, especially as far as daughter Suri is involved, the Church of Scientology is said to have not been involved in their settlement negotiations.

That’s a coincidence, but it’s still a little weird.)
Now US Weekly has a source saying that Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman have been clandestinely talking on the phone (part of Katie’s stealth leaving the marriage involved her changing her getting a secret, disposable cell.)

Things went from bad to worse in an Osceola courthouse on Monday where Jason Clair, accused of murdering two brothers, who is using Florida’s controversial Stand Your Ground law as a defense, was in a hearing. Members of both the accused and the deceased families were on hand as some were there to testify but the hearing was postponed so that new gun evidence could be used. In what proved to be a serious lack of planning, both families were escorted out of the courtroom and were waiting in the same small lobby when tempers boiled over. See the footage and get the details behind what happened that would have made it seem obvious not to have these two families herded together into a confined space.
