‘Gangnam Style’ Turns Spooky in Halloween Light Show
We've seen a lot of incarnations of Psy's 'Gangnam Style.' Even still, we never predicted we would see the song in spooky Halloween light show form.
Heartwarming Baby Elephant Rescue May Leave You In Tears
The folks at the Amboseli Trust for Elephants in Kenya got a call that a baby elephant had fallen into a well. So they went out to rescue her. We know it seems like a lot of sitting and watching people try to wrap some rope around an elephant, but it's worth it for the big finish...
Honey Boo Boo Supports Obama, Spazzs Out on Local News Show
She seems like she's just decided this during her interview with Jimmy Kimmel on her show, but perhaps Honey Boo Boo Child has been cheering for Barack Obama all along.
Dad’s Soccer Practice With Son Goes Terribly Wrong
We're having a bit of an 'America's Funniest Home Videos' day here. First there was the incredibly painful faceplant compilation, and now we've got this kid getting smacked right in the face with a soccer ball by his dad.
Man Arrested for Fighting Stop Sign
No matter how hard police tried, Raymond Garcia wouldn't *stop* fighting a stop sign. (See what we did there?) Officers in Roswell, New Mexico were responding to a report of a man fighting a stop sign, and that is exactly what they found.

So, while we enjoying settling down with a good (bad) scary movie, sometimes we wax a little nostalgic. These are the songs from our childhood that really get us in the mood for trick or treating, which we're apparently too "old" to do a
Happy Leif Erikson Day, Everybody!
Hinga dinga durgen, it really is Leif Erikson Day!! In 2009, President Obama made a proclamation, and now on the ninth of October we honor the European commonly regarded as the actual first to discover America. Here are some great memes and a reggae-themed educational video with a bunch of Vikings (whaaaa?) from around the web to honor Christopher Columbus's less-conqueror-y predecessor.
Watch Every ‘Mad Men’ Drink in One Drunken Video
Warning: watching this video may make you feel like wearing a lampshade on your head and barfing in a closet. When you watch 'Mad Men,' it seems like there's a good bit of drinking going on. You have no idea.
Marching Band Displays ‘Gangnam Style’
It's true -- everybody likes Psy's 'Gangnam Style.' This latest (and perhaps most impressive) version is performed by the Ohio University marching band. And although Korean rap doesn't necessarily translate to a marching band very well, the dancing does...
