The great Time Warner Cable-Fox TV standoff continues. Though TWC threatened to stop broadcasting Fox's channels at midnight last night, the deadline has extended and negotiations are still under way—and nobody knows whether the Sugar Bowl will air!

Someone took the time to wish YouTube a happy new year all spelled out with dominoes. Complete with fireworks!

Watching CNN's New Year's Eve with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin has almost been reduced to a countdown to when Kathy says something inappropriate. This year she deliberately has a little trouble with the pronunciation of Balloon Boy's first name.

Ever heard of waterskiing on a mud pit while tethered to a crane? Do it! And then let some rednecks film your wipe-outs and put them online!

DYING. No, seriously. Okay: Street Carnage impresario Gavin McInnes told his blogger he'd piss in Corn Flakes and eat them if he won our Hipster of the Decade contest. He lost. So...why's he pissing in Corn Flakes and eating them?

Was Rush Limbaugh's Hawaiian hospitalization drug-related? This line from a report about his medical crisis raises a flag: "Limbaugh told emergency crews that he was having chest pains and had been taking medication for back trouble."

Uber-rich playplace Saint Barthélemy suffers from the unbearable lightness of too much fabulous; Gloria Allred aims at Shaq; Mike Tyson won't be charged for beating a paparazzo; Michelle beats Barack at tennis. New year, new gossip.

These are the kinds of stories that we can't help but think of when we're about to pop open a bottle of bubly. Watch this macho dude try to hold back the tears as a cork is shot unexpectedly at his face.

Hopelandish band, Sigur Ros, are always piquing their listeners emotions as they sing ethereal music in a language nobody understands. When you see these Mario clips alongside their music you'll never play Nintendo the same way, i.e. without your itunes.

They grow up so fast! The artist formerly known as Lil' Bow Wow—now just Bow Wow—live-tweeted his wild New Year's partying, including driving his "lambo" while "so fucked up" before handing the wheel over to Chris Brown.

When the New Year comes, it makes us think about what we can do differently this year. We vow to lose weight, to quit smoking, and to stop watching Intervention and Say Yes To The Dress marathons.

Why's this so important? Because Soundgarden kicked ass, is why. Sure, there are people who will go in the comments thread and be like "You didn't like Audioslave WTF is wrung w/you man?!" and others will note how much better Temple of the Dog is than Soundgarden ever could be, so how can Soundgarden ever be good? And some will simply note that "this band sucks" or "all this music sucks" as those people are wont to do about pretty much anything. Watch them! They're incredibly consistent. You can write about Israel and Palestine reaching a peaceful, two-state solution, and sure enough, someone will show up in the comments: "Arafat's no Thom Yorke. He sucks. So does his band. And so did Kid A." And they are all entitled to do so, especially the people trying to make a point about Temple of the Dog.

Hidden camera pranks are usually funny and elaborate and this display of broken glass and infrastructure is no exception. Alternately: Window go smash!

Yeah, you might need to watch this one today.

This dog is bored of watching the kids sled, so he decides to steal the sled and make them play his game for a change.

This boy sings along to Akon's 'So Lonely' to pass the time on the way home. There's nothing lonelier than being stuck in the backseat.

The only thing that'd be less predictable than this is if she'd actually taken a bump while doing the weather ("It's SNOWAAAANG!"). But: Kathy Griffin provided YouTube gold ringing in the new year with Anderson Cooper on CNN. Observe:

January 1st, 1954: NBC had a coast to coast colorcast of the Tournament of Roses Parade. Check out how proud the networks were and watch an old color television commercial complete with vapid jingle after a word from our sponsors!
