Why are moms awesome? Here are (just a few) reasons why moms are awesome.Â 1. Moms will teach you not to be afraid to fall down. Even if you don’t want to learn. 2. Moms don’t mind getting wet in the rain for you. 3. One word — cookies. 4. Dad jokes are embarrassing. Mom [...]

Hilarious Celebrity 'Makeunders' Bring Stars Down to Our Level

Emerald Catron — Thu, 09 May 2013 20:55:54 +0000

These funny Photoshop manipulations are one better than “stars without makeup” photos. They aren’t just celebrities without makeup — they’re celebrities without stylists, personal chefs or trainers, or expensive clothes. We call it ‘Extreme Makeunder: Celebrity Edition.’ They’re all available on a Facebook page called “Planet Hiltron.” Here are a few we like. Check out [...]

Emerald Catron — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:38:03 +0000

If you’re anything like us, right now you’re probably mentally screaming, “WHAT? What is this?!! How have I never seen this adorable creature anymore?” Don’t feel too bad — it’s a quokka, and it lives primarily on some islands off the coast of Australia, and is currently listed as being a “vulnerable” animal. So it’s [...]

12 Adorable Animals Taking 'Selfie' Photos

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 19:47:49 +0000

We have no idea why, but animals are like, super talented when it comes to photography. Remember how they're master photobombers? That's just the beginning. Even though their talent is slightly greater than that of us humans, there are zero complaints on our end, because the result is always entertaining, adorable, strangely hilarious or all of the above.

11 Guilty Dogs Caught in the Act

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:43:08 +0000

We have some beef with dogs. How is it that they can get into loads of trouble, and we still can't get mad at them due ridiculous amounts of cuteness? It's sort of annoying, especially because most times pups know they're getting into shenanigans, but they do mischievous stuff anyway. Even then we still can't bear to punish the little buggers.

Swift Judgment: The Best Images and GIFs of the 2013 Golden Globes

Tom Blunt — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 04:05:23 +0000

Glenn Close did what? Surprise facial hair on who? Here are some memorable moments from tonight’s Golden Globes broadcast. Adele’s Best Song triumph for ‘Skyfall’ warmed every heart in the room… …Except for Taylor Swift’s. Adele’s pal Daniel Craig, however, has got her back.

Doug Groff & Jim Maurice With Facial Hair… Disturbing Images Ahead

Doug Groff — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 11:59:22 +0000

A recent poll by Gillette claims that 85 percent of women prefer a clean-shaven man. Yeah, I know, ironic coming from a company who makes razors. Anyway, we got into the discussion about what we would look like with a beard or mustache. So thanks to a little program called ‘Photoshop’, here’s what Jim Maurice [...]

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 02:25:35 +0000

We recently presented you with quite possibly the most adorable group of pictures, ever. They were miniature, furry nuggets of cuteness that would be extremely difficult to top in the miniature, furry nuggets of cuteness category-- tiny dogs. Could it get any better?! Answer: y-e-s. America, we'd like to share with you our latest discovery-- tiny cats.

12 Dapper Dogs in Bow Ties

Cameron Simcik — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 17:00:02 +0000

Yes, it's true we're borderline obsessed with dressing up our dogs (and any other animal for that matter), from the hilarious for Halloween to festive garb for Christmastime. But can you blame us? Pets are, like, 10,000 times cuter when clothing is involved.

While we're usually to blame for starting up said shenanigans, recently we've seen something strange happening-- animals are beginning to get in on the action all by themselves (or so we say). The latest ones to do this? Dapper dogs.

10 Christmas Fails to Get You Through the Holidays

Cameron Simcik — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 18:00:16 +0000

Attention everyone: we now officially have T-minus eight days until Christmas, and preparation time is running out faster than we can shove holiday cookies in our mouths. We still have to buy last-minute presents, dig out those stockings from the back of our closets and make time for that awful office party.

10 Festive Christmas Photobombs

Cameron Simcik — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 19:20:48 +0000

Contrary to popular belief, photobombing is super hard, and it requires a lot of skill. For starters, you have to get the timing down perfectly and do it so no one posing actually notices your moves leading up to the photobomb. We don’t know why, but animals have already got this whole thing down pat. [...]

11 Impressively Cool Snowmen

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 21:35:09 +0000

For most of us here in the good ol' USA, winter means cold, cold weather. While a lot of the time that can really stink, it can also mean the arrival of snow, and we all know that's the best part of the wintry months! Snow angels are possible, intense snowball fights happen and (probably most importantly) snowmen can be made.

10 Extreme Christmas Trees

Most people are familiar with the massive, and very impressive, Christmas tree that graces New York Cityâ€™s Rockefeller Center every year. This tree has come to symbolize the holiday season for millions of people, and is something of national icon, appearing as a backdrop in countless movies and television specials. While New Yorkâ€™s tree is [...]

15 Kids Who'd Do Anything To Get Off Santa's Lap

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:40:38 +0000

One of the best parts about the holiday season is when Santa comes to town for a visit. Every single year, he makes his rounds to American shopping malls so little kids (and adults-- we’re guilty) can have an up-close-and-personal gift-begging session with the guy. The whole thing is pretty impressive if you think abo

Trend Watch: Is 'Baby Heading' the Next Hot Meme?

Emerald Catron — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:00:19 +0000

The folks at Buzzfeed are predicting this might be a new thing, which is fine with us. It’s hilarious when people’s clothes don’t fit! Basically, “Baby Heading” is just making a baby’s head stick out of grown-up clothes, and then photographing it. It kind of reminds us of Dog ShamingÂ in its mockery of completely unaware [...]

In case you missed it -- there's a storm a-brewin'! Hurricane Sandy is lurching her way up the coast, heading for us all. Yesterday, the MTA announced it was shutting down trains in NYC at 7 pm and buses at 9pm. Here are some pictures from their official Flickr page taunting us with how delightfully empty all the stations are right now.

Here are 10 famous folks reportedly still hanging around even though they were “no longer with us.” Elvis Presley The King of rock n’ roll is one busy spirit! Presley [...]

The Best Costumes From 'HallowMeme 2012′

Emerald Catron — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 18:54:48 +0000

Halloween may be next week, but Brooklyn's 'Hallowmeme' party got the costumed fun started early. The fourth annual event, put on by the folks at Forced Meme Productions, gives people the chance to dress up like their favorite internet sensations. There were lots of McKayla Maroneys and Psys, but people also repped some less-popular memes as well. Skull Trumpet and High Expectations Asian Father both made appearances, and of course there was a 'Gangnam Style' dance-off and plenty of Honey Boo Boos. Here is all that, plus our personal faves.

10 Awesomely Geeky Jack-o'-Lanterns

Cameron Simcik — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 16:05:06 +0000

We’re self-proclaimed Halloween geeks. But honestly, how can you not be? There are so many ways to celebrate the holiday that by the time October 31st rolls around, our entire lives are defined by creepy stuff and ridiculous garb. Our pets aren’t big fans of the festive takeover, but that’s never stopped us from dressing them up as a turkey dog!
