Read: this great piece on how Design Within Reach—who sell shiny pretty expensive tables and chairs—got popular and fell from grace, all while keeping their headache-inducing name. IT'S NOT WITHIN REACH IF I CAN'T AFFORD IT. Ugh. [FastCompany]

While watching tonight's episode of The Soup, we had a case of serious déjà vu (more on that after the jump). Luckily for us, though, McHale and Co.'s hilarious clip from the SYTYCD finale brought us back to reality.

Are you working, still? Seriously? Get to the bar, ASAP! But before you go, click on some of this stuff, maybe?

Snooki did an interview with deplorable New Jersey nightlife rag Steppin' Out. Is this the worst union of trashy cool and trashy horrible or is it a marriage made in heaven? Either way, she has some crazy shit to say.
