Don't always believe everything Facebook tells you. If it was all true, do you have any idea how many dollars would've been donated to charity for liking that picture of a kitten? It can't be all true, and it's not. Here are some pictures of "Hurricane Sandy" circulating around that most certainly are NOT pictures of Hurricane Sandy. You're welcome.
It takes a lot to upstage the President of the United States in a photograph, but these grade school kids have done it. We're not the only ones who think so. Even the president himself (or at least his Twitter account) labeled this the "picture of the day." We're pretty sure it's not because of the kid who's trying to eat his shirt. Or the way the president isn't looking at the camera either. Can you guess why?
You GUYS! It's almost Halloween! We sincerely love Halloween around here, in case you hadn't noticed. Here's one way we've been getting into the spirit of the season -- awesome Halloween light shows. Some of them are more traditional ('The Haunted Manion,' 'Monster Mash'), whereas other are scary in a more timely way -- what could be more terrifying than a giant light-up neon pumpkin singing 'Call Me Maybe'?
We've seen a lot of incarnations of Psy's 'Gangnam Style.' Even still, we never predicted we would see the song in spooky Halloween light show form.
It's been a good year for the 'Charlie Bit My Finger' kids. First they got their own show, and now they've starred in a commercial for Ragu. We were kind of hoping it turned out pasta sauce was why Charlie tried to eat his brother's hand. Turns out, their online success just depresses them both
Several schools across the country have banned Flamin' Hot Cheetos because they are so unhealthy and dangerous to kids. What about these snacks? They seem *at least* as terrifying as something that promises to be hot as fire. It certainly can't be safe for kids to eat these. Also, we want some.
Ahhhh, 'Hocus Pocus' -- the story of three evil (singing and dancing) witches who like to eat children and sometimes also turn them into cats. They are temporarily resurrected by a kid trying to impress a lady, and then they make everyone dance, Dance, DANCE! Since this is a Disney movie, eventually the day is saved and they all lived happily ever after. But did the cast follow suit in real life? See what the stars of 'Hocus Pocus' are up to today.
