There’s a list of ugly baby names

That Twitter is an amazing research device. Really we should just rid of all those people who do research for a job and just listen to Twitter. It's got its finger on the pulse of the world. (I just made that up but if anyone thinks it workable in [...]

Gotta get me some of that juice

Watching Toddlers and Tiaras is a bit like looking at a car crash. You know you should look away but there's something about tragedy that just sucks you in. Like Honey Boo Boo. God bless Honey Boo Boo, daughter of the world's most delusional [...]
