2013 looks to be a good year for Super Bowl commercials, assuming you like topless women, Doritos or 'Gangnam Style.' And if you don't like any of those things, are you sure you're actually human and not a goldfish that learned how to use a computer? Brace yourself, you snobby goldfish, because Psy is doing a pistachio commercial. It is going to be awesome.

Despite 4 Chan's successful attempt at getting Kim Jong-un to win the most votes for Time magazine's Person of the Year, the magazine is going with President Obama. Again. Sheesh, don't pick the dictator everybody voted for, but that doesn't mean you have to pick somebody who's already won. Here are five other perfectly viable candidates, in our opinion.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 15:15:11 +0000

It's just never going away, is it? Like Rebecca Black's "Friday" and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" before it, Psy's uber-catchy dance hit "Gangnam Style" will never leave our ear-holes, no matter how many carnivorous ear worms we insert. Well, if we have to hear it one more time, it might as well be on an upcoming episode of 'Glee,' right? After that, and Halloween, we can officially declare "Gangnam Style" over, right? Right? Prepare yourselves for video.

Christine Gritmon — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 18:35:53 +0000

One of our new favorite things about Halloween is funny, candid pictures of people being scared senseless in a haunted house. We had to ask ourselves though, what were they seeing that was so scary? We put our heads together, and we think we've figured it out. Here are our guesses at what was so scary in that haunted house. Because it certainly wasn't a guy in a wolf mask jumping out of nowhere.
