On a Lighter Note, a Ridiculous Pizza Commercial
Let's all just pause and think about what we really want this election day. Pizza, right? Here's a video excerpt from comedian Vincent Gargiulo's film 'KNFR From 7:00 - 7:30.' We think this is probably one of the best songs ever wri

‘Dragon Baby’ Is the Tot With the Iron Fists
We didn't realize it until today, but probably one of the best things about babies is that they can't beat the ever-loving bejeezus out of you. All it took to make us realize this truth is this video of a baby in a Bruce Lee jumpsuit going to town with fists of fury on a dragon.

10 Disney Princesses in Real Life
If Disney princesses were real, there would also be flying carpets and mermaids, which would be amazing. It almost seems possible - these look-alikes are so convincing.

See How New Yorkers Are Commuting Post-Hurricane Sandy
Hey, thanks Sandy! As if people didn't hate taking the bus enough, now we get to wait in a line to wait in line to ride one. That's right -- the lines have lines. It's taking people multiple hours to get to and from work. Good thing it's not miserable outside. Just kidding, it totally is! Here are some pics of what people are doing just to get to work.

See Devastating Before and After Photos of Hurricane Sandy
While many people took to Facebook bragging about how much booze they stockpiled and how Hurricane Sandy wasn't very strong at all, the following heartbreaking scenes were happening in other places. It's awful. To give you a better idea of the destruction, we've provided before pictures as well. In case you thought maybe people like to swim down FDR drive.

18 Spooky Vintage Halloween Cards
Apparently people haven't always celebrated Halloween the way that we do today, which is weird, because we sort of assumed "Sexy Referee Costume" was one of those timeless classics that had been around since the days of ancient Rome. It turns out people used to actually be kind of charming and thoughtful, instead of just smearing their bodies with glitter and pointedly refusing to drink anything less than 100 proof. Here's an example.

7 Photos That Are NOT Hurricane Sandy
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.

President Obama Photobombed by Adorable Smooching Kids
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'?

Spider-Man Window Washers Give Sick Kids a Heartwarming Surprise
The window washers at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN, kind of make 'Patch Adams' seem like a big old meany. Two of the hospital's three-man window washing team dressed up like Spider-Man, and then rappelled down the side of the building, lifting childrens' spirits while cleaning windows. But yeah, a clown nose is good too.
