Jamie is young, but his talent is clear. He just sits on that table, relaxed as can be, taking the serves as they come. Does he cry when he misses a ball? Nope, he just nails the next one, and the next one, and the next one. More »

Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords has resigned from Congress just a year after being shot in the head at an event outside a Tuscon supermarket. Preoccupied with her physical rehabilitation, Giffords explains in the video that it's best if she steps down despite previous speculation in the wake of her speedy recovery that she might take retiring Republican Senator John Kyl's seat. Though she gave no clear indication of her future in politics, Giffords did end her farewell in a way that could pave the way for an eventual return to national prominence: "I will return and we will work together for Arizona and this great country."

Yesterday was especially unkind to Michele Bachmann. First, news broke that her Iowa campaign director, Kent Sorenson, had defected to Camp Ron Paul. Then, she lost another top staff member, her political director Wes Enos, who resigned after he had the nerve to publicly defend Sorenson against charges that he'd illegally accepted money from Ron Paul's campaign.

A 34-year-old English woman will be spending Christmas in jail after her request for bail was denied. She was originally thrown in the clink after she let out a racist (and apparently drunken) rant during a train ride, yelling about how immigrants should just go back to their own countries — naturally, the episode went viral on YouTube. She's been receiving death threats, and white supremacist groups are rallying to support their barely coherent hero. Meanwhile, here in the US, we call that sort of talk a "Republican Presidential Debate" with nary a batted eyelash and everyone just watches whatever else is on TV instead. Things sure are nutty across the pond. More »

The Alchian-Allen Theorem states that when a fixed cost is added to substitute goods, the more expensive one becomes relatively less expensive, and so people are likely to increase consumption of the higher quality good. What does this have to do with the internet? Everything. More »

It's not every morning that the Today Show features a suburban housewife bound up in chains and padlocks out on their plaza, but that's exactly what happened today. The woman, Donna Purnell, may look like a typical 49-year-old mom from Massachusetts, but she also happens to be a very talented escape artist. More »

Oh, J.C. Penney, you need some help, don't you? First, with that ridiculous "Too Pretty for Homework" t-shirt and now with this insanely misguided commercial. It might—might—be excusable to use a bikini-clad Phoebe Cates (from 1982, wtf?!) to sell your men's dress shirts if it made ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER. But it doesn't! Are you using computers to come up with your concepts now? Did this ad result from some sort of ad algorithm gone wrong: lady in bikini + sports personality = middle-aged men buy things. Beep bop boop. Yeah, the problem with that equation is this: in these modern times, if you insist on playing off of broad stereotypes, an ad has to be clever and funny. More »

When was the last time you saw someone in a movie say "goodbye" before hanging up the phone? Probably never. As this supercut shows, no motion picture is immune to being rude over the phone — even Lloyd Dobler's iconic "phone booth in the rain" scene from Say Anything! More »

Rebecca Black's music video, "Friday," has gone viral, with more than 2.2 million views in a little over a month, and not because it's good. The song is comically absurd, with ridiculously simplistic lyrics; the video involves literally acting out those lyrics and features a bunch of kids trying really hard to seem happy. Despite all the "partyin, partyin" and "fun fun fun," the biggest question remains unanswered: Who is Rebecca Black, and who the hell made her video? More »
