Before he became president, Barack Obama promised he was going to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center before his first term was out. "I have said repeatedly that I intend to close Guantanamo, and I will follow through on that," Obama told ABC News in November 2008, shortly after winning the election. Almost four years later, Guantanamo remains open, and now another one of its prisoners has died.

A North Korean man may have had the best luck—and hangover—of any drunk person in history. He was discovered last Sunday morning on the South Korean Island of Gangwha, near the border with North Korea, having apparently floated to the South on a piece of wood while trashed.

Poor Amanda Bynes. All the former child star wants to do is drive, but The Man keeps getting in her way.

This morning on the 700 Club's regular segment "Bring It On," in which horrible people ask other horrible people how to continue being horrible people, a man asked Pat Robertson how to work things out with his wife who "has no respect for [him] as head of the house." Pat Robertson responded, unblinking:

Tiger Temple is a Theravada Buddhist temple in Thailand that is ostensibly a wildlife sanctuary, but, in actuality, is something far less reputable.

Everyone who didn't drop web hosting company GoDaddy during one of its many scandals—The sexist ads, the elephant-killing CEO, its support of SOPA—probably wishes they did now. GoDaddy's DNS service, which makes web addresses legible to humans, has crashed hard. Millions of websites are offline. It's a shame so many innocent people rely on GoDaddy to run their websites because otherwise we'd have no qualms about celebrating something that would make GoDaddy's uniquely hateable CEO Bob Parson's day a little less pleasant.

In a lengthy new T Magazine profile of rap kingpin Jay-Z, novelist Zadie Smith got the Jigga Man to open up about, amongst other things, his feelings on last year's Occupy Wall Street takeover of Zuccotti Park. Smith reports Jay got "agitated" when she brought up OWS before launching into a mini-rant about what he perceived to be the movement's lack of focus:

Anonymous leaked 1 million Apple device IDs last week, claiming they were found on an FBI laptop. This had the unexpected result of me wearing a tutu and putting a shoe on my head in order to elicit more information from the hacktivist group. But an NBC report has revealed the leak actually came from a boring app developer. Anonymous is full of shit—but at least everyone on the internet got to see my legs.

After the Internet came across an anti-masturbation video produced by Jehovah's Witnesses specifically for the hard of hearing, it was only a matter of time until someone mashed it up with R. Kelly's "Ignition (Remix)."

President Obama went on Orlando's Power 953 early this morning to debate, among other things, how hip is daughters are and unregistered voter Nicki Minaj's claim that she's "a republican, voting for Mitt Romney."

Like Banksy or dislike him, it's fairly undeniable that these animated renditions of his better known pieces are pretty great.

If you are lucky enough to have a job, why not take the whole "work" thing to the next level and work from home in your jammies?
