On a good day, Twitter is used as a social media platform where others can connect and interact in a cordial way. On a bad day, people hide behind their handles and unleash some harsh thoughts into the Twittersphere. But thanks to the folks at 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' the bad days just got better.

Donald Deane — Sun, 12 May 2013 20:27:09 +0000

If movies and TV have taught us anything, it's that all mothers are NOT created equal. While some fictional moms might be willing to play the doting matriarch, others engage in twisted mind games, dole out severe corporal punishment and even commit murder most foul. Think about that the next time you forget to call your mom on Mother's Day.

Sadly, Matt Groening's long-running cartoon 'Futurama' was canceled earlier this week after seven seasons and 140 episodes on two different networks. Yes, we'll miss Fry, Leela and the rest of the crew, but we'll miss Bender, the acerbic, cigar-chomping robot, the most. But it's not all bad news -- Bender has rightfully earned himself a place among the most memorable robots in pop culture.

'Game of Thrones' Bad Girls Read That Crazy Sorority Girl Email

Emerald Catron — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 20:08:57 +0000

We are more than slightly enamored with Maryland sorority sister Rebecca Martinson's insane-o email that went viral last week, which led to dramatic readings performed by everyone from Michael Shannon to Barbie.

So we made these mash-ups with female characters from 'Game of Thrones,' both to put a face to this deranged email, and because Rebecca Martinson has resigned from her post at Delta Gamma, and this is how we choose to remember her -- as all the crazy chicks from one of our favorite shows.

What If 'Breaking Bad' Was on During the '90s?

Kyle Dowling — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 19:14:06 +0000

Yes, we agree, ‘Breaking Bad‘ is perhaps the best show on television today. But what if were stacked up on the TGIF line up of our adolescence? Now there’s a hit. In this hysterical video — which gives us a solid idea of what the show might be like had it premiered in 1995 rather than 2008 [...]

Say 'You're Awesomesauce' With These 'Parks and Rec' Valentines

Emerald Catron — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 12:24:01 +0000

What better way to tell somebody you love them than with the words of the great people of Pawnee? 'Parks and Rec' very generously shared these Valentine's Day greeting cards on their Pinterest, and we think they're swell. Tell somebody that you don't hate them, or even adore them, and if it gets weird just say "Hey, I'm sorry, I thought you LIKED that show." And then never talk to them again. Happy Valentine's Day!!
