Monday... What a Bastard!

MelBivDevoe

Sure, people can be bastards.  You know what else can be a real bastard?  Shelling out $5 bucks a day (or more) to feed your iced coffee habit.  I'm not gonna tell you to cut back on the caffeine - instead, why not try making your own iced coffee at home?  Don't worry, this blogger has even done the math for you!  (Hostess With The Motzes)

Well, this is sh*tty.  "Glee," that trainwreck of a Fox show that just keeps going and going, ripped off Jonathan Coulton's bluegrass cover of "Baby Got Back" - and then put it up for sale on iTunes.  (Wired)
But wait!  You can help Coulton stick it to them by buying his cover of their cover of his cover (whew!) on iTunes - and all of his proceeds will go to charity!  (Geekosystem)

TLC's "My Strange Addiction" has hit a weird new low.  Uh, slightly squicky footage ahead.  And yes, I realize this woman probably suffers from Pica.    (BuzzFeed)

It's Hump Day, Time to Shake Your Rump!

Good morning!  Had your morning coffee yet?  It wasn't civet coffee, was it?  If you've not heard of civet coffee, it's very expensive, somewhat rare, supposedly delicious, and, uh, made from cat excrement.  No thanks.  (NPR)

Hey you!  Do you like dancing, video games, and winning things?  Then click here!  (Crushable)

Last week, a man posted a super sarcastic review on the Facebook page of a maxi pad company.  Now, the company, Bodyform, responds with a snarky video that's an excellent example of how to capitalize on a viral moment. (Mashable)

I love the idea behind this article, "If TV Shows Were Relationships."  Like, The Vampire Diaries would be that crazy roller coaster ride of a relationship where you're happy, then you're at each other's throats, then you're crying and making up - all in the span of about five minutes.  (College Humor)

I'll Just Toss It Away Like Yesterday's Jam

Sometimes, I just want to follow Moss's lead here.  Yesterday was one of those days.  Jennifer Livingston, a news anchor for WKBT in Wisconsin, took to the airwaves Tuesday to address a bully.  You see, Jennifer is obese. Thankfully, one of her faithful viewers some guy who randomly turned on her show for a few minutes decided to stick his nose where it didn't belong to espouse his concerns about her weight and sent her an email.  Instead of simply replying to his letter, she was given a segment on the news to respond.  And what an eloquent response she gave.  (Pajiba)

Arctic Zero Coffee Frozen Dessert: Better Than Hamdingers

Pinky McLadybits

Every time I go to the grocery, I eyeball the hell out of the ice cream section. I check out the sleek lines of the ice cream bars. I lick my lips while reading the various flavor combinations on Ben & Jerry's pints. I wonder if the fancy gelato is worth the seven dollar price tag.

And then I usually walk away with nothing. Sure, sometimes Aunt Flo coerces me into buying just one pint of Cheesecake Brownie or maybe just one box of ice cream sandwiches, but these things are not conducive to my current eating program, kids.

Starbucks Via Breakfast Blend: When You Are Too Lazy To Work A Coffeepot

Pinky McLadybits

When I wake up in the morning I want coffee and I want it before I had to wake up. Since my coffeemaker is cheap and I am half-stupid when I make the coffee, I usually end up with slightly burnt or too strong of a brew. Then I have to use half a container of flavored creamer, compared to my usual third of a container of creamer, just to make it palatable. It's stupid and I miss my one cup coffeemaker with the pods. SIGH.

Then Starbucks introduced their line of instant coffees called VIA. I don't usually get coffee from Starbucks since it tastes like burnt hair, but my lazy overwhelmed my tastebuds and I decided to give VIA a shot. I chose the Breakfast Blend because it is described as mild.
