#VMAs nostalgia: Hey, remember when MTV played music videos?

http://twitter.com/#!/MegMontgoris/status/371722300212920320

In advance of the MTV Video Music Awards show tonight, many old-timers on Twitter have a common reminiscence: Remember when music videos were actually the main feature of the now-teen-reality-show-clogged music network?

Those were the days.

This New Museum In Tokyo Looks Like A Sick Joke, But Kids LOVE It. You"re Not Gonna Believe It.

Not everyone is the “museum type,” and that’s okay. There are people in this world who enjoy art galleries and museums… others like outdoor sports and adventure. (It really takes all sorts.) But it is difficult to understand why anyone would like this new museum in Tokyo. It’s called “Toilet!? Human Waste & Earth’s Future” … and it’s about exactly what you think. The exhibit teaches visitors about human waste, toilets and other fun, but crappy, trivia. It’s hard to tell what kind of person you’d have to be to really enjoy this…

Even if you can’t read Japanese, it’s pretty obvious what this exhibit is all about.

There are poop hats and toilet slides…

For both children and overgrown children.

They take this “toilet museum” thing very seriously.

(Okay, it does look like a little bit of fun.)

To a non-native, this museum would be so confusing.

Because, let’s face it, it’s strange enough as it is.

There are all kind of poop exhibits (this one shows you what the waste of animals looks like).

You can make your own little surprises out of clay.

This is supposed to be a learning experience…

But(t)…

It’s just weird. Does there really need to be a mascot?

Or singing toilets?

“Thanks Toilet” is the song that this choir of potties performs at the end of your visit.

What a bizarre way to end a strange and nearly-disgusting day. You have to hand it to whomever is running this exhibit in Tokyo, they were able to keep a museum full of potty humor clean and adorable.

Joan Rivers, The Comedy Legend, Has Passed Away At Age 81. Let"s Remember Her.

Comedy legend Joan Rivers has passed away at age 81 after being put on life support and into a medically induced coma earlier this week. She was rushed to the hospital on August 28th when she had stopped breathing. Her daughter released this statement today after making the difficult decision to take her mother off life support.

Twitter

Rivers was known for her crass humor, something considered especially taboo as a woman. She began her career as a stand-up comedian in New York’s Greenwich Village in the early 1960s, working her way up to appearances on The Tonight Show, The Ed Sullivan Show and Hollywood Squares.

Throughout the 1980s, she would frequently fill in for Johnny Carson when he was unable to host The Tonight Show.

She also released a best-selling comedy album in 1983 titled, “What Becomes a Semi-Legend Most?” which reached #22 in the Billboard Top 200 charts and earned her a Grammy nomination. That same year, she became the first female comedian to perform at Carnegie Hall.

In 1994, she and daughter Melissa hosted their first red carpet pre-show for E! Entertainment Television’s Golden Globes coverage and she became infamous for her hilariously crude and often mocking interactions with the big name celebrities.

The duo continued to work award shows together for years. In more recent appearances, Rivers was the subject of the 2009 documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work and made an unforgettable guest appearance on the FX show Louie in 2011. She also began hosting a podcast in 2013 titled In Bed with Joan where, as the title suggests, she would interview celebrities from her bed.

Her impact on the comedy and entertainment world will not be soon forgotten.

This Preschooler Befriended His 89-Year-Old WW2 Veteran Neighbor.

Emmett Rychner seems like just your average 3-year old boy, that is until you find out that he is best friends with his 89-year-old World War Two veteran neighbor, Erling Kindem. The two became friends last year when the inquisitive tot helped the elderly man tend to his tomato garden plot.

Ever since then, their close friendship blossomed. They even stayed close during the winter, when there was no gardening to tend to. Unfortunately, the Rychner family decided to sell their house and is set to move, breaking apart the inseparable pals.

Watch their story below, it will start by making you feel so good and happy…but by the end you’ll be in tears.

I think we need to tie a thousand balloons to that man’s house, then we’ve got a real life ‘Up’ on our hands!

‘I will stab you": Hate tweets aplenty after Jake Tapper mocks Kanye West

Sarah Silverman offers ‘traditional lesbian sex’ for Obama donation

http://twitter.com/#!/SarahKSilverman/status/224901761729699840

The Obama campaign’s desperate fundraising efforts are apparently having a trickle-down effect. If you and George Clooney can’t raise enough from donors in Switzerland, go to China. And if Sarah Silverman’s offer of boobs just isn’t bringing in the cash to defeat the Romney fundraising machine, offer “lesbian sex.”

We won’t go into detail about what exactly is on offer (feel free to watch below if you have the stomach), but it involves casino magnate Sheldon Adelson redirecting his $100 million campaign pledge to Obama.

Sarah’s followers keep it classy.

Here Are The 10 Most Shockingly Simple Things That Will Save Your Life. #1 Is Bizarre... #5 Is Brilliant.

You might think you know everything about your health but, trust me, you don’t. From shockingly simple inventions to super easy directions, these 10 simple ideas have saved millions of lives. Don’t you think you should learn about them too?

1. Finland’s infant mortality rate spiked in the early 1940’s. To tackle the problem, the government started giving all expectant mothers a box containing a selection of useful items. These included clothes, bedding, grooming products, and other newborn essentials. It worked wonders.

2. Inside Japan there is a suicide spot so infamous that it has a name: Aokigahara. A popular place for people with debts to die, a simple sign with a phone number to call someone willing to listen saved 29 people in its first year alone.

3. To combat iron deficiency, Cambodian officials gave an iron fish (considered sacred) to resident to put in their pots while they cooked, tricking them to have the iron seep into their diet. It worked!

4. Every year, 7,000 people die due to hospital medication errors. One study found that 61 percent of medication errors result from poor handwriting. To fix this, Australia gave incentives to doctors to type out prescriptions. The result? The 37 percent error rate for handwritten prescriptions drops to 7 percent.

5. Every year dirty syringes kill 1.3 million people. Inventor Mark Koska’s solution was the K1 Auto Disable Syringe. It can be used only once—once the plunger goes down, it locks and can’t be drawn back. And it costs the same to manufacture as a standard syringe. Worldwide annually healthcare savings? $100 billion.

6. Tetris seems to protect against PTSD and flashbacks. Researchers showed experiment participants a disturbing film. During the next six hours, some answered trivia, some played Tetris, and others did nothing much at all. Over the following week, people who’d played the 1980’s classic had far fewer flashbacks.

7. A pilot study in Ohio found that text reminders increased treatment adherence among adolescents. In fact, after three months, patients who received frequent texts were three times less likely to forget to take their medication.

8. In order to prevent people from overdosing, the UK created smaller pill bottles. The largest packet you’ll find in a supermarket holds 16 pills. A study found that in the first 11 years after the change, an estimated 765 lives were saved.

9. Colonoscopies are a life saving pain in the butt, but most people hate coming back for the second procedure because it was too uncomfortable. Researchers came up with an idea to leave the camera inserted for a few minutes longer at the end. The camera resting in the bowel once is a much less uncomfortable experience than when it moved around inside.

10. Doctors are prone to the same carelessness and forgetfulness that everyone is. One effective way to overcome human error is to use simple lists (like this one!). To do this, the WHO created a 19-point checklist for use in all surgeries. Some of the steps are surprisingly simple, including every team member introducing themselves at the start of a surgery. Yet it’s been tried in dozens of countries, and it reduced complications by one-third.

Power nap to the people! NY Post exposes union boss who sleeps on the job

http://twitter.com/#!/BeastQuake/status/339334822436691968

Move over, George Costanza:

There’s a new office slacker in town.

http://twitter.com/#!/FrankHartnagel/status/339408245724676096

This morning, the New York Post published a simultaneously hilarious and maddening exposé on New York City’s Mark Rosenthal, president of Local 983 of District Council 37.

http://twitter.com/#!/Chris_Oman/status/339379131932364800

It’s true. While Rosenthal insists that he works 12- to 14-hour days, his coworkers’ testimonies suggest otherwise.

http://twitter.com/#!/mcgregorrichard/status/339356929753247744

Not to worry, though — he has a very good excuse:

He also blamed his meetings with the sandman on the effects of pain medication he takes for backaches he has suffered since he fell through a chair at a McDonald’s last year.

“The chair broke because I’m big,” Rosenthal said.

“I’m 60 years old, so if I eat during my lunch hour and take a little medication, can’t I close my eyes?” he said outside his apartment complex. “Is it so outrageous?”

Yes, Mark. Yes it is. Also outrageous? This:

http://twitter.com/#!/elizabethfalvey/status/339384741407113217

The Post also reports that the union’s executive board is ticked at Rosenthal for allowing a lawyer to accumulate $6,500 more in union legal fees than the amount for which he’s on retainer.

And for Rosenthal’s efforts? An annual salary of $156,000.

http://twitter.com/#!/Dominika7/status/339382978583068675

Tim Tebow surprises wounded soldiers in Florida with visit

From KDVR in Denver:

For U.S. Army Ranger Romy Camargo, a self-described “super fan,” Tebow’s visit was a huge surprise.

“That was awesome,” Camargo said. “I couldn’t believe it. I was like, ‘Wow!’, but I’m glad Gabby got to meet him because she’s a big fan.”

Both Camargo and his wife Gabriela were stunned when Tebow walked through the door.

“It’s my pleasure, man,” Tebow said to Camargo.

After reading what Camargo has endured since getting shot in the neck and being left a quadriplegic during a combat mission in Afghanistan, Tebow wanted to meet the wounded warrior.

Rowden Go was a normal 29 year old excited to marry the woman of his dreams. And then he was diagnosed with stage IV liver cancer. The prognosis for the aggressive cancer wasn’t optimistic…but before he passed, he made sure to keep his promise to his fianceé. With a lot of help from family and friends, including the couples’ 2-year-old daughter, his hospital room transformed into a wedding chapel.

Go passed away just 10 hours after the ceremony…and he left with a lot of love. Share the bittersweet story with your friends below.

Conspicuous silence on Obama, SuperPAC collusion: Citizens demand action

http://twitter.com/#!/HawkinsUSA/status/233643193260990465

Boom!

@Lexvegaskid Correct. It"s abusrd…and it"s the standard the Democratic Senate Majority Leader has established.

— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) August 9, 2012

Exactly. Senator Reid, and fellow travelers like Nancy Pelosi, have established the Reid standard. Some guy can tell you a thing that his second cousin’s girlfriend’s hairdresser said and you must disprove it. It’s “impossible to know for sure” and all. Senator Reid is still not answering the serious allegations leveled against him by concerned citizens. Will Team Obama? And, in this instance, it’s much, much more than “some guy said.”

It’s a clear-cut case of collusion. The press ran with unsubstantiated and scurrilous rumors made by Harry Reid. Will they push the White House on this serious, and substantiated, charge?

The Obama campaign is illegally coordinating with their SuperPAC. Under the Reid standard, it"s their job to prove me wrong.

More from Politico, of all places. When you’ve lost Politico …

When President Obama’s aides said they weren’t familiar with former Missouri steelworker Joe Soptic’s life story, all they had to do was check their own campaign archives.

Soptic, laid off from Bain Capital-owned GST Steel, stars in a Priorities USA Action spot this week in which he tells of how his wife died without health insurance after he lost his job. Soptic also appeared, wearing what appears to be an identical shirt, in a May television ad for the Obama campaign.

Asked about the Priorities spot on MSNBC Wednesday morning, Robert Gibbs said he doesn’t “know the specifics” while Stephanie Cutter said on CNN: “I don’t know the facts about when Mr. Soptic’s wife got sick or the facts about his health insurance.”

As Twitchy reported earlier, Stephanie Cutter is a lying liar who lies. She pulled on her liar pants to claim that she didn’t know the details of the steelworker’s story in the despicable “Romney killed my wife” ad.

In this case, her pants may be illegally on fire.

This Incredibly Kind Woman Is On A Mission To Hug As Many Soldiers As She Can.

Elizabeth Laird is known as The Hug Lady by the soldiers of Ft. Hoof in Killeen, Texas, and for good reason. This kind woman attends every single deployment and homecoming at the army base with one purpose: to hug every soldier going to or returning from war.

It all began back in 2003, after a soldier deploying overseas was the first to hug Elizabeth as she saw the troops off. A veteran of the Armed Forces herself, Elizabeth felt compelled to continue the tradition. She since set out on the mission to hug every departing and returning soldier.

I wish everyone was as warm hearted as her. A hug can be so uplifting and healing, especially to those experiencing something as serious as combat.

MAN 2-ALARM 92 8TH AVE, MULTIPLE DWELLING BUILDING COLLAPSE,

— FDNY (@FDNY) October 29, 2012

The New York City Fire Department rushed to the scene of a partial building collapse tonight at 92 8th Avenue. Early reports indicate that emergency crews responded to a fire at the address. It’s currently unclear if Hurricane Sandy had any part in the collapse of the building’s facade, but reports of a full “collapse” of the building are incorrect.

Lance Armstrong’s confession prompts tweets about ‘Dodgeball’

http://twitter.com/#!/ScottPaterno/status/291970749072302080

One of the greatest athletes of our generation has just admitted to being a drug cheat. So, naturally, people are tweeting about … “Dodgeball”?

Well now Dodgeball means nothing to me. Lance Armstrong’s inspirational speech to Peter La Fleur was based on a lie. DODGEBALL IS A LIE!!!!!

— Mark Thompson (@theMTbrain) January 18, 2013

The ending to “Dodgeball” would have been so different if Lance’s confession had happened before 2004, with no epic pep talk to Vince Vaughn

— Molly McGlynn (@Molly_McGlynn_) January 18, 2013

I watched Dodgeball the other day. Lance’s cameo at the end made me sad.

Most importantly, will Lance Armstrong give back the money he made from his appearance in Dodgeball?

I knew Lance Armstrong has been lying since the day he said he watched ESPN 8 in “Dodgeball”. The Ocho doesn’t exist!

— Keith Ehlis (@keithehlis) January 18, 2013

Perhaps Armstrong’s evasive answers are bringing back memories of Patches O’Houlihan’s five D’s of Dodgeball: dodge, dip, dive, duck, and dodge.

Even Kermit The Frog Has Done The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. We Love Him For It.

With every celebrity joining in on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge trend, Kermit the Frog decided that he couldn’t be left out, and decided to accept the challenge after being nominated by WWE CEO Vince McMahon.

Watching the video will not only entertain you but also inform you on the inner workings of a frog’s heart, because it wouldn’t be Kermit without taking the chance of teaching us a thing or two.

He Couldn"t Find Street Parking, So This Frustrated Man Did Something Insane. And Brilliant.

Finding street parking in any city can be rough. Depending on the time of day, it can literally be impossible. Sometimes you need to find creative ways around being shut out of your own block at 5pm. Instead of battling his neighbors every day, this guy took his parking game to the next level. His motorcycle would be safer and he’d have a guaranteed spot every day, because he found a shortcut: He’d just start parking on his own balcony.

He loved his bike, but keeping it on the street wasn’t an option.

So, with a little creativity…

And a strong motor and pulley system…

He created an epic solution.

Take THAT, parking meters.

Way to stick it to the man, bike guy!

Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham are not going to vote to confirm John Brennan as CIA director until the Obama administration turns over more documentation and answers more questions about the terror attack in Benghazi.

An Injured Delivery Boy Is Given Help From A Couple Of Kind Police Officers. Aw!

“To protect and serve in 30 minutes or less” should become the Portland Police Bureau’s official motto from now on.

Two Portland police officers proved they’re more than willing to serve the citizens of their city…and in almost any situation. When the officers discovered that a Pizza Hut driver was injured in a car crash, they took it upon themselves to finish his delivery.

The customer, Steve Huckins, said he and his wife were shocked when they opened their door to see the two officers. Thinking nobody would believe him, Steve took this picture of the friendly pair, a picture that immediately went viral.

There Can Never Be Too Many Articles About Duct Tape And Its Uses.

Duct tape is magical stuff. This much we know. It repairs old things, and can be used to create new things as well! Real talk? I’ve used it to repair my shoes on maybe more than one occasion. And while silver is a classic look, duct tape’s popularity made many brands start offering a range of colors and patterns, so your stuff can be functional and stylish. We can’t think of anything better, so here’s a list of some of our favorite uses for duct tape, as well as some new ones that blew our minds a little bit.

Don’t worry, after our minds were blown, we repaired any cranial damage with duct tape.

Chair

Limor Haviv and Nimrod Feldman via Designboom

This DIY chair is created using two broomsticks and a roll of duct tape. The broomsticks are cut down and reassembled into these triangular structures–an excellent shape for bearing weight–and held together with tape. The sling-style seat is made from more tape. You can choose a color to match your decor.

Wallets

Geeky Gadgets

The duct tape wallet is a classic. I remember several people who sported these back in high school, and they can get pretty intricate, with multiple pockets and compartments. They’re easy to make at home and can be tailored to suit your specific needs as well. Besides function, duct tape can also be used to decorate them, as in the case of these game-related examples.

Horse Booties

Octane Creative

This horse needed medication for its feet, and to keep it where it needed to be, owner Mandy wrapped the hooves in diapers, and then secured them with duct tape. Now the horse’s feet can heal, and it’s got a sweet pair of moon boots in the meantime.

Prom Dress

Duck Brand

Duck Brand holds an annual prom dress competition. Contestants use duct tape to create prom outfits, the more outlandish the better, and can use any and all of Duck’s colorful line. The winners get $3,000 for college.

Purse

Duck Brand

If you need more space than a wallet, you can simply expand the size and make a purse. You can use the tape to make any shape you need, and decorate it according to your tastes. Plus it’s a lot cheaper than the average purse. We thought these little fruit-slice ones were cute.

Slip Covers

Octane Creative

Er, make that non-slip covers. Instead of having their couch reupholstered, these duct tape enthusiasts just taped it up. Since it was around the 4th of July, they went the patriotic route. Not sure how this will mesh with other holiday decorations, but it’s certainly festive.

Auto Art

Art Car Central

Stylish as well as durable, duct tape makes auto art easy. Plus if you get sick of it, you can remove it a little more easily and cheaply than getting your car repainted. We say “a little” because the thought of peeling all that off and dealing with the residue doesn’t sound too great. However, you can get total customization at a fraction of the cost thanks to duct tape. Plus you can also create a matching ensemble, like this lady did.

Desk Organizer

Duck Brand

Okay, so when you finally run out of tape, what do you do with the cardboard ring left over? Why, you cover them with more tape and create a stack of little cubbies for your desk items, of course!

Flowers

Duck Brand

Artificial flowers can look tacky (Get it? I slay me.) if they try to hard to look real, so duct tape flowers are a stylish alternative.

Babysitter

Oddee

WE’RE KIDDING. Don’t really do this, please. Actually, someone did do this at a daycare center in Massachusetts in 2000. Needless to say, they don’t work with kids anymore.

Some of our other favorite applications for duct tape have been as a Band-Aid (with tissue underneath), used to prevent blisters, to remove warts, to give added oomph to cleavage (seriously), used to rip out unwanted eyebrow hair. Ouch!

Embracing the trend, Duck Brand offers a whole range of duct tape crafts on their site.

This Guy Roams The Streets Looking For Trash. What He Does With It Is Hilariously Brilliant.

Countless city streets are marred by piles of trash and litter, a visually unappealing scar on our society. Rubbish can be a depressing reminder of the state of the world… or just downright unpleasant. A Spanish artist by the name of Francisco de Pájaro is trying to change that, the only way he knows how. Francisco roams city streets, transforming piles of trash into something we could all appreciate: art. He adds arms and faces to bags, bins, cardboard boxes and more. His goal? “My intention is to seek the smile on people. I never stay to watch their reaction, I usually leave. But in general I think, or I want to think, I make them smile.”

Source: Francisco de Pájaro via Elite Daily Francisco’s art is playful, but we think his focus on improving cities with quirky art is important to note. To see more of his work, check out this video about his “trashy” art:

We love it. If you do, too, share it!

Even if you can’t read Japanese, it’s pretty obvious what this exhibit is all about.

There are poop hats and toilet slides…

For both children and overgrown children.

They take this “toilet museum” thing very seriously.

(Okay, it does look like a little bit of fun.)

To a non-native, this museum would be so confusing.

Because, let’s face it, it’s strange enough as it is.

There are all kind of poop exhibits (this one shows you what the waste of animals looks like).

You can make your own little surprises out of clay.

This is supposed to be a learning experience…

But(t)…

It’s just weird. Does there really need to be a mascot?

Or singing toilets?

1. Finland’s infant mortality rate spiked in the early 1940’s. To tackle the problem, the government started giving all expectant mothers a box containing a selection of useful items. These included clothes, bedding, grooming products, and other newborn essentials. It worked wonders.

2. Inside Japan there is a suicide spot so infamous that it has a name: Aokigahara. A popular place for people with debts to die, a simple sign with a phone number to call someone willing to listen saved 29 people in its first year alone.

3. To combat iron deficiency, Cambodian officials gave an iron fish (considered sacred) to resident to put in their pots while they cooked, tricking them to have the iron seep into their diet. It worked!

7. A pilot study in Ohio found that text reminders increased treatment adherence among adolescents. In fact, after three months, patients who received frequent texts were three times less likely to forget to take their medication.

8. In order to prevent people from overdosing, the UK created smaller pill bottles. The largest packet you’ll find in a supermarket holds 16 pills. A study found that in the first 11 years after the change, an estimated 765 lives were saved.

Francisco is a sort of crusader, roaming the streets at night.

The art he creates is equal parts adorable and creepy.

The artist simply adds to the existing creations.

Usually, he doesn’t have to alter much to achieve his goal.

Just by adding bags…

Or maybe some extra tape and paint…

He creates some pretty awesome art.

People walking by might not mind the trash as much.

In fact, this is just kind of awesome.

His goal was to make people smile.

We think he accomplished that pretty well.

If you ever see one of these creates on the city streets…

Know who was behind it.

It’s by a traveling Spanish artist with an awesome sense of humor.

One man’s trash…

… is another man’s art.
