The 4/20 Weed Cloud That Ate Boulder, CO
Seth Abramovitch · 04/21/11 01:48AMHow did you celebrate 4/20? Well, you could have lit up a spliff the size of a Volkswagen Beetle and it still wouldn't have come close to what the pothead population of Boulder cooked up. Watch in amazement as a cloud of marijuana smoke steadily grows above a gathering of 4/20 celebrants. Then watch it grow denser and larger still, as coughs and beach balls bounce throughout crowd. The video cuts off before the unruly mob discusses raiding a nearby Costco for free samples, then gives up in a moment of weed-induced apathy. But it's still pretty awe-inspiring nonetheless.

Putin Will Get a Lot of Russian Women Pregnant
Max Read · 04/20/11 07:36PM
Alarmed at declining population statistics, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has announced a plan to boost the Russian birth rate. Sorry, what's that? No, no, he's not—well, certainly not personally, though we see why you might make that mistake. No, his plan is to, uhm, pump some $53 billion into programs designed to "[raise] the birth rate and [extend] life expectancy," such as providing free photos of a shirtless Putin astride a horse to any household containing a fertile young woman. Putin's announcement came during an address widely seen as positioning the former president for next year's elections, in which he may run for his old office; the Russian leader gave the speech while wrestling two bears.

Hamilton Nolan · 04/20/11 05:14PMToday's the day that McDonald's hires 50,000 lucky Americans. In depressing-ass Cleveland, this employment opportunity was so irresistible that it caused a long line.
