It’s like the slow clap, but not really, and wouldn’t you know? It’s best demonstrated by Robert Pattinson-as-sparklicious-Edward in the Twilight series. That’s right, Edward, honey. Walk slow. Walk reeeeal slow. Just like that. Yeah. Slow like that. Oh yeah. *ahem* You can weigh in on the debate – SLOW: WIN OR FAIL? – over [...]

My son wants two things for his fifth birthday this summer: a skateboard, and a squirt gun. They’re two fairly easy wishes to grant, right?

Corey Haim – 80′s teen star and latter-day has-been – has, reportedly, died of a drug overdose. The Internets are saying that this wasn’t really shocking – he did, after all, have a public struggle with substance abuse – but really, isn’t it fair to say that no such celebrity death is shocking? Given that [...]
