Mike Huckabee's Hilarious Joke About Assassinating Barack Obama
Former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is a slick, smooth, charming guy. He would've been a dangerous nominee, because he's TV-friendly and quick-witted in a folksy, unthreatening way. But he's actually a rar-right nutcase. And sometimes his jokes fall flat. As in the clip above. If you can't get a laugh from telling a "someone is going to shoot Barack Obama" joke in a talk at the NRA then your delivery needs work, we say. Oh, also we say: wtf.

Is M. Night Shyamalan Our Generation's Ed Wood?
FROM DEFAMER.COM: It's been two surprisingly brisk years since M. Night Shyamalan unleashed his last utterly unwatchable labor of love upon us. That would be Lady in the Water—a project Disney would successfully argue was legitimate grounds for divorce, and that would ultimately go on to teach Warner Bros. More »

CBS Promotes Their Willingness to Cover Hoaxes
CBS! Catch the fever! Their nightly news program is exciting and revolutionary when it's edited all jumpy like this, isn't it? And outgoing anchor Katie Couric sure received a lot of praise from people whose names we can't read! Our favorite part of this new CBS promo (Katie just put it up on her YouTube channel!) is at a little more than 30 seconds in, when they play a brief clip from their interview with the man who grew his finger back with pixie dust. Remember him? What an inspiring tale! One man, against the odds, promotes his brother's biotech firm in news outlets across the world, all of whom are more than willing to cover a bullshit junk science story without doing even cursory research. A moment to be proud of, CBS. And they're clearly feeling cocky—CBS just bought CNET for $1.8 billion cash, "a substantial 45 percent premium to where the stock closed on Wednesday." [NYT, Soup Cans]

neat
It's been everywhere today but still, it's neat. And odd. And a bit unsettling. A day without news would be a fantastic event for the planet and basically a nightmare for us. Though obviously a day without news would still have plenty of cool internet videos so we'd get by.
