Morning News Anchor Pulls ‘Anchorman’-Style Prompter Prank
One Today Show reporter in Australia had a real Ron Burgundy moment. It seems Roz Kelly will also read anything that's on the teleprompter. Fortunately, her co-anchor Karl Stefanovic didn't put an F-bomb in there like Veronica Corningstone, but he did get her to imply that she enjoys the "cookies" in Amsterdam.

The Future Is Now — Star Trek Phasers Are Real
You know how sometimes you're walking through Times Square, and it reminds you a little too much of 'Blade Runner,' then you get an email on your hand-sized computer/phone, and you have a massive panic attack because THE FUTURE IS NOW?!!!!! This video does not help that feeling. At all.

9 Sloths Who Are Working for the Weekend
We love sloths. There's no question. But we can't spend all day looking at them online-- sometimes we have to take a break to order food from Seamless or run a damp sponge over our body. Worse, sometimes we actually have to leave the apartment. To combat this, we've taken sloths and given them everyday jobs, so we can imagine the people we have to talk to are sloths while we're talking to them. That's normal, right?

The Best Confession Kid Memes
Thank you, Reddit. For all the creepy creepster stuff you do, you sometimes come up with something like this and make us laugh and laugh. The Confession Kid meme is a much more charming cousin of the now-classic Confession Bear. We think he's about a million times better though.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Gets the ‘Entourage’ Treatment
The sweet spot in the Venn diagram of people who like 'Entourage' and people who like 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' is a pretty good size, so we wonder how this video is only just now being made. Seriously, why did it take so long for somebody to put 'Entourage' character Turtle together with 'TMNT' and come up with this?

Our Favorite Ways Anonymous Has Trolled Westboro Baptist’s Facebook Page
In case you missed it, the ever-horrible Westboro Baptist Church announced they would be picketing at the funerals of the people who died in the Boston Marathon bombing. The church, if you don't know, likes to go around to funerals and say that God hates America for allowing gay marriage, and the death that attendees are mourning is just his wrath. It's basically the definition of awful. Well, the "hacktivist" group Anonymous was having none of it.
