If you've been hiding under a rock, or just somehow not on the internet at all today, here's a newsflash -- Jason Collins is now the first active NBA player to be openly gay.
The annual White House Correspondents' dinner took place this past weekend, and it was a delight. We honestly think it was probably the best performance at one of these dinners since Stephen Colbert roasted George W. Bush right in front of him (this makes us cringe a little bit less though). Only we aren't talking about Conan O'Brien -- we're talking about President Obama, who really hammed it up this year.
We're halfway through the third season of 'Game of Thrones,' and things slowed down a little bit for last night's episode. Granted, there were still sword fights, executions and lots and lots of sex, but unless a dragon had blown up another city, anything was basically guaranteed to feel like a step down after the insanity of episode four. Let's take a look at what happened. (As always, spoilers ahead. Also, it's a HBO show with a lot of violence and other naughty things. So NSFW unless you work for King Joffrey.
We're not sure if this is the best or worst postman in the world. On the one hand, he really makes sure that mail gets delivered. On the other hand, now a toddler is crying. You know what? We're going to go with best postman in the world, because this GIF exists thanks to him.
Some things were meant to be. The Joffrey Bieber Tumblr is the natural marriage of two people everyone (well, almost everyone) loves to hate: Justin Bieber and Joffrey Baratheon from 'Game of Thrones.'
Earlier this week, somebody hacked the AP's Twitter account and posted a tweet saying that there were explosions in the White House and President Obama had been injured. The account was quickly suspended, and the situation dealt with.
We are more than slightly enamored with Maryland sorority sister Rebecca Martinson's insane-o email that went viral last week, which led to dramatic readings performed by everyone from Michael Shannon to Barbie.
So we made these mash-ups with female characters from 'Game of Thrones,' both to put a face to this deranged email, and because Rebecca Martinson has resigned from her post at Delta Gamma, and this is how we choose to remember her -- as all the crazy chicks from one of our favorite shows.
Time travel hasn't been invented yet (or if it has, those jerks aren't telling us), so this is probably the next best thing.
Well, it's happening. Again. Comedy Central has announced that 'Futurama' is being cancelled. The network opted out of renewing the show for another season, meaning that the 13 episodes airing this summer will be the show's last. In theory. Unless it gets another revival, pops up on Netflix or maybe they just make some more movies.
Today, Justin Bieber surpassed 38 million followers on Twitter. This is equivalent to the entire population of Algeria, which is what we like to believe is actually happening. Everybody in the world hates Justin Bieber, except for Algeria, where he will soon move.
We are so glad Boston field reporter Mike Tobin denied these two girls who attempted to plant one on either cheek while he was in the middle of a report. What kind of person goes up to somebody who's broadcasting a report about a terrorist attack and tries to interrupt it by getting smoochy?
Watch this video, and suddenly all your problems seem pretty small. Gavin, 4, is completely blind. This video shows him stepping off a curb unassisted for the first time. It makes you realize how easy you have it
