What is with panda bears falling on their faces? Earlier this week, Da Mao, a giant panda bear at the Toronto Zoo, tried to walk through a snowstorm. It didn't go so well, and he ended up falling off a giant rock onto his face. Stupid bear.

Piles of garbage, city services that don't work, inept local government, horrible financial mismanagement, exploitation by big banks, and now a looming bankruptcy: Naples is the Detroit of Italy. (They both have nice art museums, too!)

Remember the Justin Bieber egg throwing scandal? You know, the crime he allegedly committed before he was arrested for DUI in Miami, charged with assault in Toronto, and detained for weed in New Jersey? Well, now the L.A. County Sheriff's Department is suggesting that prosecutors charge Bieber with a felony for the attack.

A teary Jay Leno signed off from the Tonight Show for a second time tonight with guests Billy Crystal and Garth Brooks.

"A lonely, confused young man gets addicted to pornography. His roommates know, but they do nothing to help him," a voice intones over somber violins at the beginning of a four-minute anti-masturbation ad from Brigham Young University-Idaho that only gets weirder as it goes.

The weather in the UK, typically abysmal, has been even worse recently with torrential rain, forceful gale winds and massive waves pounding at the coastal areas. And it's gotten so bad that one town's zoo animals are on antidepressants.

This afternoon, the American Nazi Party had more than 4,000 followers on Twitter, and at least two of them were influential think tanks.

Things were probably already not going so well for this pedestrian caught on a surveillance camera walking down an icy snowy street at 5 am in Brooklyn yesterday. But it definitely got worse, much, much worse, when a snow plow drove by.

In the wake of a Homeland Security warning that toothpaste bombs are terrorism's newest thing, the TSA decided to ban all gels, liquids, and powders from nonstop flights from the US to Russia. Of course, passengers may still carry those dangerous bomb-making materials on all other flights.

Two top diplomats were caught discussing less-than-diplomatic thoughts about the EU this week, a leak the State Department is blaming on the Russians.

In the clip above, 2013 Miss Venezuela First Runner-Up Wi May Nava describes the plastic surgery she underwent to compete in pageants (boob and nose jobs). She also talks about the piece of mesh that she has sewn to her tongue so that she can't eat solid foods (this description, btw, took place before she won her runner-up title). We've come so far as a species from The Real World L.A. when Tami had her jaw wired shut for the same effect.

"They don't want to see or be seen, only to touch and to be touched in a place where nobody knows them." Jeff Sharlet's long study on the lot of gays in Russia on the eve of the Olympics, "Inside the Iron Closet," is online now. Go, go read.

The Old Testament. It's been kinda important to much of human civilization going back a fair stretch. It's also a sham! Your cherished psalms and stories of ritualistic filicide are no longer any match for Israelis with radiocarbon dating equipment, sheeple!

We receive quite a few stories from Wal-Mart employees about what life is like inside America's largest employer. But this one comes from a remarkable point of view: a longtime Walmart store manager, who vents in detail about how Walmart has systematically screwed employees over two decades.

As far as "viral marketing" goes, this is pretty good. To promote its upcoming season, the Walking Dead dressed a bunch of actors as zombies and hid them under a sidewalk grate in Manhattan's Union Square so they could terrify unsuspecting pedestrians.

Benefit concerts make for strange bedfellows. A few hours into Amnesty International's nearly endless show at Brooklyn's Barclays Center last night, a tall man with silver hair named Kerry Max Cook walked onto the stage to talk about the death penalty. Cook served 22 years on death row in Texas after being wrongfully convicted for the rape and murder of a 21-year-old woman named Linda Jo Edwards; he was released in 1997. During his time in prison the state of Texas executed 144 people. Cook, a prominent anti-death penalty advocate, told his story—on the one hand the obscene horrors of death row, on the other his small measure of good fortune in being able to speak for the executed—smoothly and without the aid of the teleprompter that earlier had tripped up celebrities like Bridget Moynahan, who wore a fedora.

On Thursday, freelance writer Lisa McIntire's mother received a credit card offer from Bank of America sort of addressed to her daughter. There was one tiny difference, though, in the name; instead of Lisa McIntire, the letter was addressed to a "Lisa Is a Slut McIntire."

How screwed-up is this place, really? And how did Sochi get the Olympics in the first place? And where is it, and why should you care? Let our Gawker Explainer® hash it all out.

A high school senior is facing suspension for posting a selfie she took with a dead body to Instagram.
