The Three Lies of Andrew Breitbart

John Cook · 06/09/11 03:54PM

Just kidding! Obviously there are many, many, many more lies. But a video released yesterday of Breitbart yucking it up with the folks at Opie and Anthony while passing around a photo of Anthony Weiner's cock—a rather cavalier little party trick that resulted in a photo-of-a-photo-of-a-photo of the cock shot seen 'round the world making its way on to Twitter and this here web site—exposes three. Let's take them in turn:

Osama Bin Laden, Sex Machine

Remy Stern · 06/09/11 03:45PM

Najwa Bin Laden, Osama's first wife, said the favorite part of her day was "the sleeping time." And it wasn't because her days were so miserable; it was because bedtime was when she had her husband all to herself. [Jezebel]

Anonymous and NATO in Cyber Pissing Match

Adrian Chen · 06/09/11 03:33PM

In this corner, the amorphous blob of Wikileaks-loving nerds: Anonymous! And in this corner, the sometimes-relevant intergovernmental military alliance NATO! NATO wants to kill Anonymous, but Anonymous says back off.

Here is Another Healthy Serving of Hot Teens Doing Hot Supernatural Things

Studio@Gawker · 06/09/11 03:00PM

MTV's newest series Teen Wolf has all sorts of appealing qualities that one looks for in good TV: moody drama, beautiful cinematic photography, hot teen wolf-boys fighting hot teen athletes, you know, that sort of thing. Because seriously, do you really need an excuse to watch a bunch of boys sprout hair in weird places, tackle each other and agonize over the trials of what it's like to be different?

Sad MySpace Has Just One Bidder

Ryan Tate · 06/09/11 02:40PM

After six months of trying to sell itself, animated GIF emporium MySpace has exactly one potential buyer, who only wants to buy part of MySpace, and at a very steep discount. This is getting rather pathetic.

Ann Coulter Dodging Questions About Her Age: Strangely Thrilling

Maureen O'Connor · 06/09/11 01:43PM

Watching Ann Coulter antagonize black people and 9/11 widows is, at this point, pretty boring. Watching Ann Coulter answer questions about her age, though? Strangely thrilling. Here's Piers Morgan quizzing the razor-boned pipe cleaner about the time she dropped two years from her age.

Why the Giant Squid Should Be the Ocean's Mascot

Adrian Chen · 06/09/11 01:11PM

You know what the problem is with the ocean? It's not overfishing, or global warming, or oil spills: It's branding. So you're an ocean? Who cares? You gotta sell it to us. You gotta have a powerful brand—a mascot. And that mascot has to be the giant squid.

Sarah Palin Releases Fancy Home Video of Her Bus Tour

Jim Newell · 06/09/11 01:06PM

Remember when Sarah Palin went on a bus tour into the Yankee North all last week? It was the other major political story of last week, the one that wasn't cockcockcock. Fortunately Sarah Palin has released an unusually well produced home video recapping the sights and stops of her trip, ensuring that future peoples will never forget about the 2011 Tour de Grift.

Ten Movies to Watch If You Can't Go to Summer Camp

Richard Lawson · 06/09/11 12:54PM

As June creeps on, school kids across the nation are getting released from the crumbling prisons that are America's schools and being sent off to life-guarding jobs, coal mines, or, if they're lucky, sleepaway camp. Not one of those lucky kids? Well here are some movies to watch that will make it feel almost like you're there.

Anthony Weiner May Have Scared Congressmen Away from Twitter

Jim Newell · 06/09/11 12:38PM

Has Anthony Weiner's horrendous experience with Twitter prompted other members of Congress to post fewer illiterate riffs than usual to their own Twitter accounts? Top number-crunchers are looking into this. And the early stats of congressional tweet volume following Weiner's accidental cock missive suggest that... perhaps?

Mutant Bunny from Fukushima Freaks Everyone Out, Adorably

Maureen O'Connor · 06/09/11 11:56AM

Video of a mutant bunny born near Japan's quake-ravaged Fukushima power plant has gone viral. The bunny, which was born without ears, might be evidence of radioactive contamination, which may someday render the entire population of Japan microtic-anotic! Unless, of course, it's just a random birth defect. Every credible scientist in the world is leaning strongly toward the latter. Crazy people, however, are leaning toward the former, so the mutant bunny will probably be on the evening news tonight.

One of the World's Richest Dogs Is Dead

Brian Moylan · 06/09/11 11:34AM

Trouble, the canine companion of embattled hotel magnate Leona Helmsley, has died at age 12. Trouble inherited $2 million (a judged decreased the award from the $12 million stipulated in Helmsley's will) when the infamous tax evader died in 2007. Trouble's remaining fortune will be diverted to the The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, and not to Helmsley's two grandchildren who she cut out of her will. His name wasn't Trouble for nothing!

Mitt Romney in Big Trouble for Talkin' Science

Jim Newell · 06/09/11 11:27AM

Mitt Romney was a bad Republican last week. We'll tell you what he did, but first, send your children into the other room. Ready? He gave a big old bear hug to Science, by casually acknowledging that climate change may exist and humans may play some role in that. This is a calamitous "gaffe," and now everyone else in the GOP is trying to destroy him anew.
