Over the holidays, a pair of rapscalliony internet jokesters tricked a handful of local TV morning shows into booking a fake chef who made disgusting gastronomical concoctions. Hilarity ensued.
If you're looking for a way to prank your parents the next time you're back home, you might want to consider ripping off young Twitter upstart @samiwert. Recently, when the teen's parents were out of the house for an afternoon, Sami replaced all of the family photos with Google-searched images of a despondent-looking…
Oh, that Sacha Baron Cohen! What a cut-up! Always putting on accents, wearing silly mustaches, pulling pranks and causing a ruckus! WHAT'LL THAT GUY DO NEXT???
Patrons at S'nice in the West Village recently received a side of HOLY CRAP WTF with their delicious vegan cupcake and morning joe.
I've started (semi-jokingly) telling people I'm "pro-revenge" as a rule — it seems proactive — but I am not pro-making someone's live miserable, even if they dumped you. Here's a way to get back at your ex without fucking her over in the long-term.
New York Fashion Week is drawing to a close, which means that every human with a personal style blog and a Style.com app for iOs tablet or smartphone will recede into the shadows, muttering about silhouettes and architectural tailoring while gnawing on a lemon rind, until February rolls around.
Bay Area Fox affiliate KTVU purportedly learned the names of the flight crew of Asiana flight 214, which crashed last Saturday at San Francisco International Airport, killing two. These—"Sum Ting Wong," "Wi Tu Lo," "Ho Lee Fuk," and "Bang Ding Ow"—are not their names. The newscaster's credulous reading puts it over the top.
Craigslist, the parallel dimension where you can find a reasonably priced and barely stained couch as quickly as you can find a free handjob, is not to be trifled with, especially if that trifling involves the “casual encounters” section. Unfortunately, a Wisconsin man learned his lesson about not using Craigslist to…
File under sad but makes sense: Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse who killed herself after falling for a widely-publicized prank by two DJs pretending to be Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles inquiring after Kate Middleton's morning sickness, had tried to commit suicide twice before.
Jacintha Saldanha, the British nurse who killed herself after falling for a Australian radio station's prank phone call and giving up private medical information about Kate Middleton's royal pregnancy, wrote not one, not two, but three suicide notes before she hanged herself last Friday.
Last week, feminist group FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture tried to convince everyone that Victoria's Secret's PINK line was launching a line of consent-themed underwear. The company's legal team nipped their satire advocacy in the bud, so now FORCE is actually placing thongs that say "Ask First" next to real VS panties…
Yesterday, we determined that Victoria's Secret was most definitely not behind a new official-looking yet dubious "PINK Loves CONSENT" line, which featured some certifiable babes (who, refreshingly, did not look like Gisele) rocking underwear with phrases like "No Means No" next to a list of sexual assault statistics.
This morning, I got a press release from "pr@pinklovesconsent.com" announcing a new Victoria's Secret line that "promotes consent to fight rape in new panties."
Well, here's some serious bullshit in the form of college kid "shenanigans." Hobojacket, a website where you can donate jackets from rival schools to homeless people, was started by MIT students Jin Pan and Cathie Yun one night as a joke. You see, Pan loves to josh with his friends about one day getting rich and donating …
As far as high school pranks go, there are relatively harmless stunts — greasing up the banisters with Vaseline or running underpants up the flag pole — and then there's shit that comes close to crosing the line. For instance: Spiking a teacher's coffee with something called "GluteBoost."
A Fox & Friends "interview" that quickly turned into a reverse-engineered mutation of Between Two Ferns has highlighted a notable, if obvious, shortcoming with the Fox News network: it isn't big on what elitist intellectuals from the Northeast would call "research," but what the producers at Fox call "uggggggghhhhh."
Host Jimmy Kimmel continues his prank war against America's children, this time charging parents with buying their kids an embarrassing outfit for the first day of school and then videotaping their upset reactions for all of us adults to laugh at. The results are pretty funny, though I must say that I look forward to…
If some stranger randomly — and rudely — fell into you, would you catch that person, or simply let him fall to the ground, possibly providing said timbering stranger with grounds for a lawsuit? These are important questions that the serial trust-faller in this video would probably answer thusly: "They hate me, yet they …
This awesome gentleman thinks that the best way to enliven the family car trip to some unimportant place that the family will forget all about in two years is to momentarily horrify his wife with the prospect that she and her infant children are about to die in a freak car accident. I'll bet the rest of the ride was…
