Ranker posts a list of the "Ten Most Bizzare" videos created for sexual education. Though many of the clips are unintentionally hilarious (who opens a conversation with "So I had a wet dream last night?"), some reveal stubborn societal beliefs. More »

It's awkward, and it's hard not to roll one's eyes at W.'s obvious cue card reading, but it's still nice to see two former presidents with markedly different ideas about the world coming together to help those in need. [Buzzfeed] More »
