(did Ernie lose a bet? Or just win one? CoAnchorwoman’s reaction is priceless.)

You come out with stink like that. Poop. You poopmouth, with poop out of your mouth.

That wasn’t even a flub, he just came right out and said it. Ernie is batshit crazy!

These are the most ass-backwards executives in the history of business. Someone blow up the entire music industry and start over please. (via @Jschwa)

In related news, the wine industry wants to charge for every sample sip you take, the porn industry for every time you jack off, and the church for every time you pray.

bigcrush:

A lot of people have been asking me how they can effectively use BuzzFeed to promote content/seed viral traffic for certain posts.

Well we’ve added some new features that will help BuzzFeed act as your own personal launch-pad for content you’d like to promote. Much like having a Digg or Facebook account, except that BuzzFeed allows you to launch and share actual content (a video, a list, a quiz, an embeddable item) instead simply sharing/promoting links.

Create Your Own BuzzFeed Channel and Start Posting Content You’d Like To Go Viral!
The team here at BuzzFeed has some awesome new features to help you launch, share and promote content. Now instead of a profile page, users can create a customizable BuzzFeed Channel: your own page where you can add a banner, see which of your posts have gone viral or won a badge and see the top performing posts across BuzzFeed.com.

Another cool feature is the “rebuzz” button, which allows you to add posts you like from other users to your own page. You can create up to three different BuzzFeed channels and easily switch between them without logging back in. There’s already some steep competition too, see: my personal faves ExtremeBears and CuteBoysObjectified. Or the one above, a channel devoted to the web’s best venn diagrams.

We’re going to be adding some more customizable features and stats too….so stay tuned!

buzzfeed, gettin cuh-razy up in hur. gotta revisit my moneyries brand page…

tylercoates:

I’m really fascinated by the following comment on the Gawker post about Richard Blakeley’s arrest:

Hmm. Wow. Actually I don’t feel any of this is my business. While Richard is a part of the media industry, I wouldn’t call him a celebrity. He’s not a political figure, or a role model to kids, well not now, anyway . So, yeah, uh, it’s unfortunate, and if he beat this woman unprovoked he’s a scumbag, if there’s more to it than that, that’s for a court to decide, and for he and their families to reconcile or work through.

In my view, you didn’t need to report this. I’d say there’s a huge conflict of interest. If he had a response you wanted to post, that’s one thing…but other than that…I don’t need to know this much about his personal life or his legal issues. Superfluous.

My only thing is this: I don’t understand, I guess, what makes him less of a media celebrity than anyone else about whom Gawker writes, so I don’t see why this person thinks he should be off-limits (especially since former Gawker writers and editors are not). I don’t know the guy (and by which I mean, I don’t “Internet-know” him, if that makes sense in this weird world of being Facebook friends with people whose blogs you read), so I have nothing to say about the actual situation or of Blakeley himself.

thought the same. likeeeee isn’t that exactly what gawker covers? or at least up until this past year when they went uber-national? my thoughts. nobody’s off limits.

I Want You Back - Discovery

Quite possibly the zeitgeistiest song possible at this moment in time. A Jackson 5 cover by the hottest new hipster collab act (you know, the Ra Ra Riot dude and the Vampire Weekend guy), and autotune. Yes, that’s right.
