Watching Fox News can give sentient viewers the impression that the network is run by that nutjob uncle of yours who keeps forwarding chain emails about Obama's time in a madrassa. And it is.

Actor Jonathan Frid passed away of natural causes at Juravinski Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario, last week — less than a month before Johnny Depp's highly anticipated big-screen ressurection of the role he is best remembered for: Dark Shadows vampire Barnabas Collins.

In South Korea, photos of breastfeeding babies are not the brouhaha-inducing Big Deal they are over here.

You think because you "took the stairs" this morning that you can eat whatever you want? Nope, because we're all fat. The fat people are fat. The skinny people are fat. The regular people are fat. The young and old are fat. You're fat. I'm fat. Your mom's way fat. We're fatter, in fact, than we thought.

Acura today released a standard-issue "we're sorry you were offended" apology after TMZ reported that an ad agency hired by the company specifically sought out African Americans who were "not too dark" to star in the luxury vehicle brand's Super Bowl ad.

A woman injured while having sex in a hotel room is entitled to workers' compensation, an Australian federal judge ruled today.

ALEC is dead. Long live ALEC. Yesterday, the American Legislative Exchange Council — a national clearinghouse of pre-written right-wing bills, helpfully provided to conservative state legislators too dumb to come up with their own ideas — announced that it was abandoning the task force that pushed voter-surpression bills and "Stand Your Ground" laws like the one that led Sanford Police to free George Zimmerman the night he killed Trayvon Martin. "We are eliminating the ALEC Public Safety and Elections task force that dealt with non-economic issues," the group's statement said, "and reinvesting these resources in the task forces that focus on the economy."

Remember that day in kindergarten when Miss Hover explained the difference between "colon" and "cologne" and warned us never to get the two mixed up when tweeting about enjoying the smell of yours or someone else's cologne? It seems all of these people were out sick that day.

In Washington the District of Columbia, hipness is not just something you put on and take off every day like a "wacky" tie showing a photo of Richard Nixon meeting Elvis Presley; it is a way of life. And DC's young, hip vibe is not just limited to young nerds—old nerds are getting in on the act as well.

Lance the lovable corgi (is there any other kind of corgi?) returns with a brand new bag of tricks he is eager to show off. Mostly because he gets doggy treats if he performs them correctly, but also because he just loves making people happy!

Watching America's Next Top Model (now in its 18th cycle) is like visiting a dying friend that I don't even like that much anymore. ("Your wheezing is giving me a headache.") The show's ratings are down, and watching it last night, it was easy to see why: In obsessing over and reiterating its own nonsense jargon, ANTM has become inaccessible to anyone who might casually drop by and excruciatingly irritating to anyone still tuning in. By frequently calling upon terms no one would ever use outside the show like "smize," "tooch" and "fiercely real," this show has painted itself into a wall. What was once a joke is now an inside joke.
