In a nod to the most glorious traditions of musical theatre, producers in Australia have commissioned a tour de farce guaranteed to land on front pages around the world on opening night.
The draw?
Crikey.

Michael J. Fox and George Stephanopoulos!!!
The smart/cute brunet dream team! I stole this from The Open Piehole. Watch the video whilst I swoon away in pure delight at two of the nicest, smartest, cutest, leftie, socially-conscious men around.
Take that, Limbaugh, you deluded pillhead!
pic o’ the day: samovars of the gods
Hail our new caffeinated leaders! via Fark. Honestly, are these not the most beautiful samovars you’ve ever seen? Okay, okay caffeine pedants, URNS! There, happy now?
everything has a fansite: Jean Teasdale edition
A word of warning: this site does, just as you’d expect, feature corny background music that comes up and irritatingly synths around the whole time the page is up, but as I say, what can you expect from Jean Fucking Teasdale, perhaps the most perfect example of the average internet addict that the world has ever seen? What could be more typical? Only the fact that this “fansite” is, in fact, her own creation. Do check out the fan fiction; it’s unmissable!
The Pew Institute earlier this year released an exhaustive study of internet use and demographics and they found, much to their surprise, that the mean internet user, who was in fact quite average and not a little mean, even though she doesn’t want you to think so and uses any number of animated teddy and kitten gifs in her chain emails to further her warm and cuddly image, wasn’t the 15-year-old antisocial boy the advertisers were looking for at all, but was, in fact, a 45-year-old, highly socialized woman.
Jean Teasdale is their leader. 
Resistance is futile: You will be assimilated. Have a happy!
fun with loopy Japanese art
Here, straight from Japanprobe, we have Sentimental Journey, a tasty wad of fresh, chewy video from Nagi Noda, who also claims responsibility for the demented poodle exercise video we posted earlier, because we must have been drunk or something. In fairness, this is quite an achievement; with a cast just slightly smaller than that of Cecil B. DeMille’s Cleopatra, Noda manages to outdo George Lucas in the special effects field without, you know, using any special effects. I have only one question:
Why does that woman walk like she just peed herself?
And here, also from Japanprobe, is what Japan thinks happens when Japanese women marry Westerners. Gee, thanks, I always wondered where Danny DeVito came from.
