When you think "binge eating," caviar is probably one of the last foods that comes to mind. But hey, competitive eating doesn't just have to be about pies and hot dogs.

Have you heard that video is a big thing over at Gawker Media? It's true, we watch and post a lot of videos each week. Here are some of the best videos of week, culled from an array of Gawker Media sites.

This morning Andy Richter tweeted, "Possibly the most insulting thing ever" with a link to these shoes. For $525, you can show off your paint-splattered shoes without ever having to lift a brush. One of Richter's followers, Ivan Khatchatourian, countered with a slashed army t-shirt on sale for $1,137.50.

Are you sitting down?

George Zimmerman, now charged with second-degree murder in the killing of Trayvon Martin, could soon be released from custody after a judge set a $150,000 bond for his release. Zimmerman's family will need $15,000, 10 percent of the total bond amount, to have him let out.

Bill Maher closed tonight's Real Time with a rant about how the GOP has begun to politicize issues for no other reason than being reactionary. He cited pink slime, the environment and Rick Santorum's opposition to college as evidence that the GOP isn't interested in much besides saying no to what they deem the liberal agenda. It's all part of their war against common sense.

Another week has come and gone, and with it all your tales of masturbation, your poetry, wise words, and reading recommendations. Please enjoy this week's mailbag roundup and don't forget to tell us what you think in the comments.

Following this afternoon's report on Arianna Huffington's AOL email account getting hacked, the new media mogul has confirmed the hack and revealed the culprits: Nigerian scam artists. Happens to the best of us.

An Aliso Viejo, California-based company is looking to revolutionize the world of medical cannabis with an ultra-secure pot dispensing system — a marijuana vending machine.

This week, on the internet, we are talking about 25-year-old prodigy Lena Dunham's new HBO show Girls and race. (Girls and gender was last week's topic. Keep up.) On Monday, after the show's premiere, Jenna Wortham wrote on the Hairpin about her disappointment in the show's overwhelming whiteness: "[T]hese girls... are beautiful, they are ballsy, they are trying to figure it out... I just wish I saw a little more of myself on screen, right alongside them."

Hey, guess what? It's Friday! And being that it's Friday, in addition to being in love, I am also required by law to post a truly terrible music video.

Early yesterday morning, Arianna Huffington's AOL email address sent a spam hyperlink to numerous people in her address book. It was an email virus, the apparent product of a hack on the AOL News headmistress' personal account.

Now that Joseph Kony is in jail thanks to everyone tweeting that Kony 2012 video (he is, right?) all future activism will consist of slick viral videos which online mobs will tweet incessantly at everyone in the hopes of annoying them into action. But this sort of online mobtivism can easily backfire, as the case of Sharecraft shows.

Above is a clip from the 1971 scare-film-in-reverse Aphrodisiac! The Sexual Secrets of Marijuana. The sexual secrets aren't really secrets, just: weed makes you horny and then you end up in soft porn scenes. But anyway, since it's 4/20, it's probably a really good day to get high and bang your secretary, like the guy in the clip above. Or at least get high and watch some raunchy, incompetent shit. Here you go.

Urban Outfitters once again finds itself in trouble over an ostensibly insensitive article of clothing — this time a yellow T-shirt featuring a pocket patch the Anti-Defamation League says bears more than a passing resemblance to the yellow Star of David badge worn by Jews during the Holocaust.

Hollywood's latest Nicholas Sparks adaptation, The Lucky One, is out today. It is not a good movie. The flashes of weirdness—like the protagonist walking from Colorado to Louisiana and stopping in every town along the way to ask people if they know the person in a picture found during a raid in Afghanistan—are all undermined by the film's insistence of reiterating each plot point at least five times (it takes place at a kennel, so you'll quickly get bored of dog play).

The public relations industry is at best comical, at worst evil, and, for the most part, a simpering crab pot of truth-twisting and careerist ego stroking. This is PR Dummies. Sticking our hand in the pot, once a week.

Today would have been the 61st birthday of one of the finest voices that ever blessed the Earth. Luther Vandross died almost seven years ago, and he is still sorely missed, especially when you consider the sad state of the commercial R&B male crooner (R. Kelly and Usher are about the only ones who can really sing and sell). Let's remember him by listening to his defiant disco (released a full two years after the Disco Demolition Rally supposedly destroyed the genre) and by staring at a bunch of New Yorkers' crotches. Miss ya, big guy.

Carrie Manolakos, a former Broadway actress who made her mark as Sophie Sheridan in Mamma Mia!, is promoting her upcoming debut album Echo with the release of a climactic "Creep" cover she performed earlier this month at Le Poisson Rouge in Greenwich Village.

"You need to see this photo, Drudge Report and Gawker," The Toronto Star tweeted today. The photo in question is of the ugliest mouse imaginable—veiny and bald and resembling an impossibly mutated monster's scrotum—with a tuft of coarse black hair growing from the back of its neck. The hair, the Star writes, is the product of revolutionary "bioengineered hair follicles" created by stem-cell researchers in Japan.
