LX.TV—formerly Code.tv and occasional target of Gawker mockery—is all growed up. The proudly idiotic web video lifestyle porn purveyors have been acquired by the good people at NBC. Specifically NBC's "Local Media Division" which seems like sort of a sad ghetto for such an ambitious group but LX.TV has been enriching viewers of New York's WNBC for some time now with their terrifying original content. Meet a new worst person in the world every week! It's seriously hypnotic. Anyway, New York is dead and now you can watch drunk i-bankers party on its corpse live on channel 4. [NBC Universal]

Spending Obscene Amounts On Your Baby Just Got Easier

We complain a lot about Park Slope parents and their double-wide Bugaboos and such, but to our knowledge, no parents have yet been spotted with a $4,000 nine-karat gold accented Maclaren stroller, or a $17,000 diamond-encrusted pacifier, or a $3,000 made-to-order Goyard diaper bag, or even an $850 Gucci baby carrier. Not yet! There's lots more in this Forbes slide show about the "Hippest Baby Bling" (the Louis Vuitton diaper bag is a relative bargain at $1,870) that rational people might find completely insane, but fortunately, Forbes manages to find a way to justify these expenditures.
