And you thought bringing home some bed bugs or a coat that smells like R. Kelly's sheets was your biggest thrift store concern. Turns out there are bigger demons at play, and those demons could be attaching themselves to your new garments—this confirmed by TV personality and minister Pat Robertson. He responded to this viewer's question:
If I told you this video had Nancy & Beth duo Megan Mullally and Stephanie Hunt being joined on stage at LA's Largo Theater by Mullally's husband Nick Offerman for a cover of Riskay's classic love ballad "Smell Yo Dick" complete with Offerman rapping about his member while Mullally unzips his pants and proceeds to smell it, would you even bother reading this sentence all the way to the end before pressing play?
In the most inevitable news story today, the Fung Wah bus company has been told to pack their bags. After inspectors discovered cracks in the frames of several of the buses during a surprise inspection, the Boston to New York Chinatown bus service was asked to remove all vehicles manufactured before 2005.
Last Friday, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer pissed everyone off when she banned her employees from working remotely. Yahoo's working mothers were particularly disgruntled by this change of policy, especially because they don't think that Mayer understands their needs (even though Mayer is a working mother herself).
Downton Abbey? More like Show About a Black Person Abbey. Looks like everyone's favorite program about dramatic white people (of the non-Real Housewives variety) is set to introduce its first black character in the upcoming fourth season.
Eighteen-year-old Alisa Massaro confessed to having sex with her boyfriend, 24-year-old Joshua Miner, on the bodies of two men that Joliet, Ill. police say the pair killed in January, according to the Joliet Patch (yes! The Joliet Patch!), which has obtained police reports detailing the accounts of the four suspects in the deaths of Terrance Rankins and Eric Glover, both 22. Glover and Rankins were killed on January 10, allegedly when Miner, Massaro, 19-year-old Adam Landerman, and 18-year-old Bethany McKee lured them inside a house and strangled them to death.

Weight Watchers International made profits of $253 million last year by charging people a monthly fee for diet advice that is available for free elsewhere, and selling packaged diet food that is inferior to other food available more cheaply elsewhere. But hey, whatever works for you, etc etc. A more basic problem: they exploit their workers.
Hope you downloaded enough episodes of Game of Thrones Sunday night to last you the rest of your life; starting this week, the five major internet service providers (AT&T, Cablevision, Comcast, Verizon and Time Warner Cable) have free rein to harass you with notices, block you from visiting certain websites, and even slow down your Internet speed if you are found (or suspected) to participate in illegal downloading.
It's not entirely clear what this Argentinian car lover is up to, but the leading theory is that he's desperately trying to prevent his prized possession from being damaged by a powerful hail storm that recently struck the coastal city of Mar del Plata.
Drew Barrymore, eat your heart out. On last night's RuPaul's Drag Race was the annual Snatch Game challenge, in which the competing queens must impersonate a celebrity and act it out in a game show scenario a la The Match Game (even the challenges of this show are in drag). One of the contestants, Jinkx Monsoon, busted out an impression of cult hero Little Edie Bouvier Beale (as immortalized in the Maysels brothers' 1975 documentary Grey Gardens) that was so spot on, all it was missing was the scent of cat urine. Most of Jinkx's competitors had no idea who Little Edie was and were condescending about it instead of being ashamed like they should have been.
Dozens of prominent Republicans have signed a legal brief arguing that gay people have a constitutional right to marry—a direct contradiction of Republican Speaker John A. Boehner's position.

Bush, four former governors, and two current members of Congress.
The city of Boston is like that childhood best friend you introduce to adult friends with repeated reassurances like, "Sometimes he flips over cars when he's drunk, but he's really great" and "Yes, he wears khakis, but he's incredibly liberal thinker" and "No, really, he talks funny, but just give him a chance." And then, you bring him to a cocktail party, he jumps onto a table to scream "Go Sawks!" and pukes in the punch bowl.
