Lauri Apple · 10/12/11 08:26AM

Ever since Seattle waitress Victoria Liss Facebook-posted the awful tip she received from one Andrew Meyer—aka "You could stand to loose [sic] a few pounds" Guy—you've probably developed some negative feelings for Mr. Meyer, and possibly for other Andrew Meyers around the world.

James O'Keefe's Trip to Occupy Wall Street: The Film

Lauri Apple · 10/12/11 03:50AM

Here's your favorite conservative movie director from New Jersey who's on probation, Mr. James O'Keefe, who put on his best investment banker costume and went down to Occupy Wall Street the other day to film some protesters saying dumb or weird things. Among the folks O'Keefe and his crew ran into: a generous cake-eater, a guy who revealed that the protesters are being bankrolled by secretive union overlords, and another guy who invited him to "make a lot of money" by investing in a very real thing called the Constitutional World Federation. The constitution guy in particular is fully representative of every Occupy Wall Street protester, so O'Keefe's movie should be taken as an accurate depiction of the entire movement.

Watch Susan Boyle Butcher 'Unchained Melody'

Matt Cherette · 10/11/11 09:22PM

It's pretty much a given that when Susan Boyle performs on live television, she does so while standing completely still amid dim lighting and fake fog in some sort of floor-length "polygamy chic" dress. As a performer, Boyle is usually either truly great or tragically bad. Unfortunately, her rendition of the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody" on tonight's Dancing with the Stars results show was closer to the latter.
