Hamilton Nolan · 09/28/11 09:59AM
Riverdale, the first NYC private school to charge more than $40K per year, has a bit of a PR problem. For one, they charge more than $40K per year. That's enough to make even rich people say "Dayum!" And on top of that, all the parents think they have to hire preposterously expensive "tutors" to help their kids pass. So... why are they paying Riverdale all that money, again?

Hamilton Nolan · 09/28/11 08:36AM
Half a century ago, heroes like Martin Luther X and Rose Park risked their lives by marching on top of lunch counters so that kids of all races would one day have the right to catch a few "Z's" in class while the teacher showed a filmstrip of the "I Have a Dream" speech. And how do kids these days repay those civil rights heroes? By not knowing a damn thing about them.
Police Chief Accused of Texting Porn to Election Rival: It Was an 'Accident'
Lauri Apple · 09/28/11 08:28AMSo! A Texas constable says his 2012 election opponent, who just so happens to be a police chief, sent porn pictures to his government-issued cellular ConstablePhone—not to brighten his workday, but to sully his reputation. But maybe it's all just a misunderstanding?
Global Warming Could Make the World's Animals Smaller
Lauri Apple · 09/28/11 06:57AM
Do you sometimes wish you could shrink your pet crocodile just a little, to make it less frightening and threatening to your family's safety? Sadly, you'll have to make do with your oversized pet for now, but the Americans of the future (if there is a future, ha!) might enjoy smaller crocodiles and other cold-blooded pets thanks to global warming (which isn't actually real).

Matt Cherette · 09/28/11 02:30AMIn addition to being a possible Republican presidential candidate, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is really fat. So naturally, in recent days Christie's been the butt of jokes made by everyone from Chris Matthews to David Letterman, who on tonight's Late Show delivered a top 10 list of "ways the country would be different if Chris Christie were president." Here's a clip of the segment.
The Human Centipede 2: Misery Loves Company
Matt Cherette · 09/28/11 01:23AMHere's a trailer for The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence, the sequel to Tom Six's 2009 torture porn shocker. The movie revolves around a creepy fat guy's obsession with—and attempt to recreate—the experiment depicted in the original film. And by "experiment," I mean "the ass-to-mouth sewing together of three people." But since sequels always outdo their predecessors, the psychopath in Full Sequence rounds the number of victims up from three to a dozen. Is it any surprise the movie's already been banned in the UK?
Stephen Colbert Defends Rick Perry After Debate Debacle
Matt Cherette · 09/28/11 12:35AMStephen Colbert has made no secret of his fondness for Rick Perry, so it was only natural that he'd use tonight's Report to go to bat for Perry against critics of the Texas governor's disastrous performance in last week's Republican debate. The arguments Colbert made while doing so, however, were a bit more unorthodox.
Jon Stewart Takes on Nancy Grace's Boobs, Fox & Friends' Pricks
Matt Cherette · 09/27/11 11:55PMThanks to Chaz Bono's knee injury and Nancy Grace's wardrobe malfunction, last night's Dancing with the Stars was a lesson in human anatomy. After expressing his horror at the sight of Grace's nipple on tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart couldn't wait to see how the prudes at Fox & Friends would react to it. But as Stewart soon learned, the Fox panel's reaction to Grace's nip-slip was nothing compared to their stupid, juvenile comments about Bono.

Max Read · 09/27/11 08:31PMThe manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray began today with Los Angeles District Attorneys laying out their argument that Murray—Michael Jackson's personal physician—is responsible for the pop singer's death. Among the exhibits (along with a photo of Jackson's body) was this recording, taken from Murray's iPhone, of a clearly messed-up Jackson talking about concert plans. The addled tragedy of Jackson's life is well-known at this point, but nothing's really hammered it home quite like this tape.
