How many times have I held someone’s hair or pushed away a way too affectionate hug because of you? Yes you, Four Loko — the vile combination of 12% malt liquor, 260mg of caffeine, and a pile of other crap that is an equivalent of shotgunning three beers and chasing with a venti black extra […]

On the heels of our parodies of Diet Coke’s accidentally drug-referencing new ads comes this shot-by-shot remake of one of the campaign’s Taylor Swift-featuring TV spot.

Famous artist and perpetual merchandize peddler Damien Hirst is working on an autobiography, but it’s missing a couple of years. Hirst is allegedly blanking on his entire 20s (the stage of cognitive development when the frontal lobes of his cerebral cortex were still forming judgement skills for the rest of his life). In the most British way possible, The Guardian reports… Unfortunately, an excessive […]

Not everyone is cut out to sell drugs. Take Frank Giardina. The 49-year-old man was busted in his Queens apartment on Friday after making some of the dumbest mistakes humanity has ever witnessed: #1) He was blasting music, which normally isn’t too big a deal, except when there’s a drug-dealer-amount-of-narcotics on the premises. #2) When […]
