The Associated Press is suing Shepard Fairey for copyright infringement over the ubiquitous “HOPE” image of Barack Obama he created that was practically the cornerstone of Obama’s campaign. Bastards. (USA Today)

Kristen Stewart of Twilight wants you to know that she smokes pot. She really, really, really wants you to know it. (WIMB)

Two criminals. One pair of handcuffs. A telephone pole. I could tell you what happens next, but I don’t want to spoil the ending. (QuizLaw)

On the tenth anniversary of “Baby … One More Time,” here is an apt tribute to the ever indefatigable Britney Spears. Via ASWOBA! (nplusone)

In his brief time in the spotlight, Joe the Plumber has already offered up many choice quotes; but I believe this one may actually take the cake. (Deus Ex Malcontent)

Etta James was decidedly displeased that Beyonce was chosen to sing “At Last” at Obama’s inauguration instead of her. Fightin’ words displeased. (Yeeeah!)

Here’s an honest trailer for Transformers 2. (HolyTaco)

Miley Cyrus says “Me so sowwee!” for the offensive photo that made its way online. Just kidding! She denies any wrongdoing and claims we’re all picking on her. (The Blemish)

Ugh, I saw a billboard for this monstrosity when I was stuck on the Schuylkill Expressway for two hours yesterday. Fucking traffic. (TIB)

Christians once again find a way to set the bar with T-shirt slogans. (DListed)

And also, albeit in an entirely different insane and tacky way, with commemorative plates. (Jezebel)

If you listen to loud music, your neighbors will probably complain. But if you listen to Sugar Ray they will mock you as well. (Agent Bedhead)

KOALADORABLE! (CuteOverload)

I was going to put the clip of the stoned kid in Pajiba Love today, but since I’m pretty sure everyone has already seen it, here is mugshot fail instead. Thanks, Jay!

Aw heck, here he is anyway: (Why is this happening to me?!)

when I was stuck on the Schuylkill Expressway for two hours yesterday.

Oof, Stace. That's 80 kinds of evil right there.

I hadn't seen the high kid before... but thanks stacy... now my entire office has...

Posted by: soto at February 5, 2009 1:27 PM

Whoa okay there, I don't know if I needed to see the spiked strap-on warrior princess at that Holy Taco site. Jesus Christ.

Handcuffed criminals + lightpole > anything

Is it possible to wear those "ex" shirts in an ironic way? If so, I'll take an ex-fornicator, an ex-masturbator, an an ex-homosexual in a small. And if possible, I'd also like an "ex-not a douchebag" shirt too, please!

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at February 5, 2009 1:36 PM

Just buy the shirt and add an extra "ex" Jeremy, that's what I'm going to do.

(Actually I'm just going to copy the shirt, there's no way I'm giving those dumbasses my money).

Posted by: admin at February 5, 2009 1:38 PM

Yeaaaaaah, kick her ass, Etta! Woo! bitch ain't as fierce as she claims to be!

Fight! fight! fight!

The funniest wearing of the weed logo ever was a family that came into my place of work. Kids, mom and a tiny grandma, who by a rough guess was about a 1,000 years old. It was cold so granny was wearing a toque. With a giant weed logo. I bet her grandkids (those kick-ass little bastards) told her it was a maple leaf. I hope they took a picture.

Posted by: grinder at February 5, 2009 1:44 PM

Hee! admin, can you make me one too? That's bloody brilliant!

Posted by: meaux at February 5, 2009 1:46 PM

The rundown while on lunch:

If you guys get a Plumber/Palin '12 ticket, you can come live with me, but I get to carefully vet each of you.

Organized religion is awesome due to the gorgeous amount of fucktardery they engage in.

Someone call PETA, the Christians are depicting kitty sacrifices.

I CAN HAZ JEEZIS PLAIT (just dropped 35 IQ points)

What those photos don't document is that after the bath the Koala got out, towelled off and propmtly mauled the poor woman. Then got back in to wash off the blood and clean its nailes.
Those bastards are vicious.

The TK version of the high kid video:

"Why is this happening to me?!"

"BECAUSE JESUS KNOWS WHAT YOU DID!"

Yeah, I probably should never have kids.

Posted by: TK at February 5, 2009 1:59 PM

I'm in love with the tag "CAT JESUS PLATE". That needs to at least be an album title.

Posted by: Jay at February 5, 2009 2:04 PM

Sure meaux. Mine are going have the extra "ex" in permanent marker and slogans on the back though:

ex-ex-fornicator: I got married then divorced

ex-ex-homosexual: Round peg wrong hole or: I tried and found out I have a wood allergy.

ex-ex-masturbator: If Jesus can touch me then so can I

Posted by: admin at February 5, 2009 2:14 PM

Holy shit that kid almost had me spitting my tea all over the keyboard. Yup...that's how I felt on saturday + incessant giggling.

Posted by: Joker at February 5, 2009 2:16 PM

admin, that shit is hysterical. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go jack off and have gay sex with anyone in a five-mile radius with a dick and a pulse.

Unless they're ugly.

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at February 5, 2009 2:30 PM

Kristen Stewart of Twilight wants you to know that she smokes pot. She really, really, really wants you to know it.

I, for one, appreciate the information. I have to believe that a girl who wears pot leaves over her nipples in a bikini is pretty much open to anything a guy could dream up, and that's valuable data to have when making the approach.

Posted by: rikkitikkitavi at February 5, 2009 2:37 PM

Again, Miley Cyrus makes an Asian face, people have a cow. RDJ mocks an Asian accent and gets a free pass. GRANTED he had just been through a bit of an anal probe, but that's an acceptable excuse for a bad mood not racial mockery.

Posted by: Eep at February 5, 2009 2:37 PM

I sprained my esophagus laughing at the Mug Shot Fail.

Posted by: Odnon at February 5, 2009 2:40 PM

In fairness to the AP, and I think the legalish people here can back me up on this, you have to protect your copyright even when it seems a bit douchebaggy to do it because the fact that you didn't bother to try to protect it can be used against you in future copyright cases against profiteering assholes.

Posted by: Eep at February 5, 2009 2:41 PM

I love that freakin hamster so much!

Posted by: Agente Provocatrice at February 5, 2009 3:00 PM

Etta James has turned . . . grey? How the hell did that happen? No matter. If you ripped out her esophagus, jammed it in a dog's butt and taught him to fart the tune to "At Last," it would still sound better than the abomination Beyonce screeched out.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at February 5, 2009 3:07 PM

Yeah, not so fabulous to find the strap-on chick on the Holy Taco link. So much for surfing at work. Even less fabulous to deal with their shitty, shitty popups. And yes, I do have popups blocked.

Posted by: Wednesday at February 5, 2009 3:34 PM

They may be ex-masturbators, but they'll always be jack offs in my heart.

Posted by: George at February 5, 2009 3:40 PM

Okay. I haven't heard/seen the recording. Is Downey doing an imitation or a caricature?

Posted by: Jay at February 5, 2009 3:43 PM

Etta James has turned . . . grey?

Tracer - yeah, I was taken aback by that too. I can't say as I heard B's version, but c'mon! that is Etta James' song! Only she should sing it--I can't believe Obama's people did her like that.

I got a story for you. I go to Japan. "Iron Man" is opening there. I'm like, dude, this is my walk of fame. I go there and they go [he mimics a Japanese accent], "Small problem with your passport, it links up to some incredible criminal activity."

It's not important to me to denigrate RDJ (I like him), and CERTAINLY not to elevate Hannah Montana, but I think it's interesting, particularly when stereotypes are the ball in play so to speak, that people basically said "that's what you should expect from a redneck hick" about the Cyrus incident and didn't even notice that part of the Downey Jr. episode. I have no idea what tone he used or how outrageous his accent was or whether it was a perfectly intoned and realistic portrayal of what was said and how, but neither did anyone else who read the article (except those who watched the interview obviously) and yet nobody said anything.

Posted by: Eep at February 5, 2009 3:57 PM

Oh, Etta, hell-to-the-yes!

Beyonce sings "At Last" like it was coming from her heart, and so, it falls WAY flat.

This is not a song about your "first love." That's a metaphor, child. Sing it from your woomba.

Posted by: bev rage at February 5, 2009 4:07 PM

The Molly Bish thing - I don't know how to react because, had it been some kind of lesser, non-violent crime I'd probably laugh my ass off. That whole horrific crime went down about 20 minutes from where I grew up, though, and involved a young girl, so I have a hard time finding it funny. I can't imagine how fucking pissed I'd be if that had been my daughter, there was finally a suspect 8 years later, and people were chuckling over some screw-up. Was it on purpose, or was it truly a mistake? I can't really tell. I'm being no fun. I know.

Posted by: samantha t at February 5, 2009 4:21 PM

Oh I'd think it was a mistake, certainly. Select the wrong image file and voila, an undoubtedly mortified control room. Like, how much more bizarre and incongruous could the original Spaghetti Cat get? This much. But that's why it's a fail and not a blooper, and life is to laugh at.

Posted by: Jay at February 5, 2009 4:39 PM

Very funny story about "At Last" (a song I actually don't really like, I must admit). When my husband and I were taking dance lessons for our first dance at our wedding, we had a very handsome, very British, very gay instructor. When he asked us the song, we told him (not "At Last") and he breathed a huge sigh of relief and said (with full accent) "Thank GOD you're not dancing to 'At Last' [Aht Lahst]. If I have to hear that song ONE MORE TIME, I'll scream."

Posted by: samantha t at February 5, 2009 4:48 PM

Correction: I believe he said "Thank GOD you're not dancing to fucking 'At Last'."

Posted by: samantha t at February 5, 2009 4:50 PM

Shepard Fairey is probably the world largest pile of shit next Bono and Joe Francis. Also everyone needs to watch SUPERJAIL. By far the greatest show on earth.

In Adelaide, there's a tidalwave of koalas begging for water, and looking stupidly cute when they get it (my favourite picture is of a koala found on the side of the freeway. Little bastard looks like some kind of happy, drenched yokel. Tongue waving around like a flag, face all screwed up, stoned out of his furry mind).
One state over, what did we get after four fucking days of 40C? Dead possums. Dead possums with burnt feet, which is just about the most depressing thing in the world. Well, excluding anything involving a reality tv star.
There's no justice. I want some living wildlife fuckdammit. And admin, koalas are only vicious because sobriety makes them angry. This is why I like them.

Posted by: ScienceGeek at February 5, 2009 6:05 PM

Eep, RDJ was apparently mimicking the actual real-life goddam accent of the actual real-life goddam person he interacted with. That flaccid axe you insist on grinding just ain't gonna catch an edge, bubba.

Posted by: firedmyass at February 5, 2009 6:18 PM

Do we have an honest-to-Godtopus PC police officer on the 'jiba now? As well as a copyright lawyer? I come here to be entertained. Go blog if you feel that strongly about RDJ and the Obama posters.

(I'm new and improved today - now with extra bitch!)

Posted by: Nicole at February 5, 2009 6:54 PM

So firedmyass, you're suggesting that Robert Downey Jr. only invoked the accent of the particular Japanese person he was speaking to for historical accuracy, and that he didn't invoke a general asian accent for humor?

Here's the clip, it's right up front at the start:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grEzQC3WPzE

Personally I don't think it's a big deal that he did it. I think it's funny. I think people are way too uptight about stuff like that in general. I wouldn't have said a thing if it weren't for the lambasting Miley Cyrus got just a few posts earlier for effectively doing the same thing.

Ad-hominem attacks are a lame trick of the weak-minded.

Posted by: Eep at February 5, 2009 7:11 PM

I think RDJ was just trying to relay the incident as it happened, accents and all. I use a (admittedly poor) British accent every time I tell the story of how a London airport employee told me my knee might explode if I got on a plane, but I don't think it implies that I think there's something wrong with British people. Imitating an accent from a real-life situation isn't quite the same as what Miley Cyrus and friends did.

"If Jesus can touch me, then so can I!"

Genius, admin. Genius.

I personally would love to see Etta and the B-yotch-ce duke it out, hand to hand, woman to woman. Etta'd fuck B up, and then give her a voice lesson.

Yeah.

Posted by: Jessica at February 5, 2009 11:13 PM

Jeremy, if you're looking for an ex-not-a-douchebag, then you're looking for someone who's returned to douchebaggetry. I wouldn't recommend it, but if you insist on pursuing that course I can at least pass on my ex-boyfriend's phone number.

Posted by: Kris at February 6, 2009 12:53 AM

Having Tina Fey and Salma Hayek on the same show is just a little to hot. The sight of the two of them together makes me a drooling idiot.

Posted by: Lucas at February 6, 2009 2:09 AM

Eep, maybe if Miley caught a raging case of Yoo-hoo afterwards, folks wouldn't be as upset.

Posted by: Vermillion at February 6, 2009 8:18 AM

Miley is a raging case of Yoo-hoo Vermillion. If she actually caught a case of Yoo-hoo there would be such a maelstrom of viscous brownish effluent that all the world would be covered in shit.

It's like two positive ions.

Really shitty positive ions.
