Can Viagra Make You Deaf?

Jeff Neumann · 05/19/11 05:15AM

We already know what overdosing on Viagra can do to you: blurry vision, a head ache, and an extended period of time during which wearing sweatpants is inadvisable. But what about reports of men starting to lose their hearing from taking Viagra? The number of cases is growing! The Telegraph has some details:

Stephen Colbert Loves Facebook's Crazy New Photo Tagging Feature

Matt Cherette · 05/19/11 03:19AM

In April, Facebook tried to lure advertisers with a promotional package that highlighted the social network's ability to market to an "exact audience." Then, last week, a new feature allowing users to tag products and corporations—even celebrities!—in their photos went live. And while many will undoubtedly scoff at Facebook's latest privacy-encroaching move, Stephen Colbert couldn't help but be excited by it, and he used tonight's Report to shower the company with praise.

Seth Abramovitch · 05/19/11 02:28AM

You know when you go through airport security, and they're all, "Put everything in the plastic tub, sir...SIR. I said EVERYTHING. YES, that includes that priceless pocket watch that belonged to your great-grandfather. What is that, anyway? A Breguet No. 5 housed in 18-karat yellow gold etched with a barleycorn guilloché motif? Yeah. That's what I thought. Real pretty piece o' clockwork you got there, buddy. Now put the damn watch in the tub before I call over Big Bob and his box of surgical gloves. You're holding up the line."

David Letterman 'Crushed' Oprah Didn't Invite Him to Her Grand Finale

Matt Cherette · 05/19/11 02:21AM

While it seemed like every celebrity ever was in Chicago yesterday for the taping of Oprah Winfrey's farewell spectacular, David Letterman wasn't one of them. As he explained in a rant on tonight's Late Show, Letterman—who "spent the last 12 to 15 years kissing up to Oprah"—didn't take the snub lightly. Add to that the fact that a bit he'd rehearsed with Steve Martin for today's CBS upfronts was scrapped at the last minute, and it's easy to see why Letterman was a bit more cranky than usual this evening.

Stanley the Adult Baby Investigated For Social Security Fraud

Seth Abramovitch · 05/19/11 01:13AM

Remember Stanley Thornton Jr., the 30-year-old man who gets bottle-fed, diaper-changed, and lullabied to sleep in a custom crib by his roommate/pervnabler? Of course you do — he was absolutely precious! Stanley became an instant internet sensation when his "adult baby" lifestyle was featured on National Geographic Channel's Taboo. But Sen. Tom Coburn, the Senate's "top waste-watcher," appears to have caught a heavy whiff of Baby Stanley's diaper — and the Oklahoma Republican is considerably less enchanted than the rest of us.

Here's Beyonce's Over-The-Top New Music Video

Matt Cherette · 05/18/11 09:21PM

Here's the brand new music video for Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls)." It has all the makings of a great Beyonce video—lots of sexy outfits and booty shaking, for example—but ultimately falls victim to a "more is better!" mindset. Because, come on, do we really need a fierce girl army, dangerous animals on leashes, and exploding cars all in one place?

No, You Cannot Bring Your Pony on the Train

Max Read · 05/18/11 07:19PM

Ponies are small, yes, but they are not small enough to bring on a train with you. And yet this did not seem to stop a man in Wales, who attempted to board a train at the Wrexham General station over the weekend, only to be rebuffed by the conductor. It did not end there, either; the man then attempted to buy two tickets from the ticket booth (one for him and one for the pony), and was turned away again. He was later seen at the Wrexham Maelor Hospital (for humans), asking for treatment for the pony from a doctor. [BBC]
