Remember when M.I.A. flipped America off, and we pretended to give a damn? (Well, some of us didn't pretend.) Apparently this is a thing we're still talking about, because on Friday Madonna spoke to acclaimed journalist Ryan Seacrest about The Middle Finger Seen 'Round the World. MTV News has the full report.

Watch Bill Maher Go Off on Republican Divisiveness
Matt Toder · 02/10/12 11:15PMBill Maher is no fan of the Republican party, especially when they are engaging in tactics meant to divide the country, while at the same time deriding the idea of a divided America. On Real Time tonight, he made no bones about where he stands on the subject and let fly with a particularly sharp indictment of way Republicans seek to divide our country into the Real America and the elitist others.

Danny Gold · 02/10/12 09:36PMI hate parody rappers with a passion. I can't understand the lyrics here, but I can say that everything about this is awful and terrible, and that's before they use the N word. And not just with the street "a" ending. With the "er" ending. In front of a black person. Who they mock as he walks out.

Danny Gold · 02/10/12 08:02PMFormer Mudslide (I guess that's a band that existed?) frontman Steve Thunderbolt is ready to rock your face off with a new project he's putting together, and this is your golden opportunity to be a part of it. IT'S ONLY BEEN ATTEMPTED ONCE BEFORE IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF MUSIC! He may have blond hair, but he doesn't do glam songs: he's all thrash and metal. Just one thing: no blacks allowed, so don't even bother to respond if you're black. He's not racist, though. It's just a drugs and safety issue, as he practices in his home.

Danny Gold · 02/10/12 07:07PMHow a Birthday Party at the North Korean Embassy Started the Kim Jong-un Death Rumor
Adrian Chen · 02/10/12 05:53PMThe internet is aflame with rumors, launched by Chinese micro-blog users, that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was assassinated in Beijing this morning. We believe we've figured out what's behind the rumor, and it has more to do with a birthday celebration for Kim Jong-un's dead dad than a violent coup.

Hamilton Nolan · 02/10/12 05:30PMEarlier this week we brought you the Definitive Ranking of Each and Every Sport and Fitness Activity. We noted at the time that there is no appealing the rankings, because they are based on a very complex scientific formula that we won't go into here because it's probably over your head. Nevertheless, we received feedback on the list, in the form of emails from people with poor reading comprehension.

Jersey Shore: Meatballs on the Run
Brian Moylan · 02/10/12 12:52PMThe favorite food of many people who enjoy the greatest sociological experiment of our time is, of course, a meatball sandwich. We love when Snooki and Deena get together, even if what they're doing is stupid, immature, and somewhat immoral.
