Jim Newell · 05/04/11 03:00PMTurn off the TV and Take the 2011 Gawker Media Census and Win an iPad 2
Studio@Gawker · 05/04/11 03:00PM
After last year's census, we discovered that 45% of you, our favorite schadenfreude-ers, spend 7+ hours a week in front of the boob tube, and that 79.3% regularly watch TV comedies. Seriously, how many Two and a Half Men reruns can you possibly sit through? JK! We're sure you're watching the good stuff, like all those super-hilarious episodes of Frontline, right? We kid because we love you. And since you love Gawker, would you take ten minutes to share what things besides TV watching you're into this year?

Beyoncé Sneaks Up on Teen Girls Dancing to Her Song
Maureen O'Connor · 05/04/11 01:24PMThere are ways to summon magical beings: A tooth under the pillow summons the tooth fairy. Clapping saves Tinkerbell. And a gymnasium full of school children line dancing to "Move Your Body" guarantees that Beyoncé shows up. Here's another video of stiletto-clad Beyoncé materializing during a "Move Your Body" workout, this time at P.S. 161 in Harlem. Apparently giving tween girls heart attacks is part of Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign? Although these girls are actually pretty blasé. I can't decide if they knew that Beyoncé was coming, or were just like, "Oh, like the viral video. Duh."

Jim Newell · 05/04/11 11:17AM
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was leaning his hand on a wet, parked car during his morning run today when... oh you can see what's coming. His hand slipped and "the leader tumbled to the ground," as The Hill poetically puts it. It left him with a contusion above the left eye and a dislocated shoulder, but guess what? He's been back and working most of the morning after receiving treatment. And you meanies are always saying he has no spine! Well, maybe that's why he didn't break his spine too. [Image via Getty]

Hamilton Nolan · 05/04/11 11:09AMIf Only More Civil War Reenactments Involved Vampires
Studio@Gawker · 05/04/11 11:00AMNot every book is special enough to merit its very own moving picture trailer, but then again not every book is about our 16th president butchering vampires with an axe. Fortunately for history lovers and gore fans alike, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is such a book. Now is your chance to not only read about Honest Abe kicking some serious undead ass, but watch it in full sanguinary glory.
