Conan O’Brien has decided to spend his last weeks as host of The Tonight Show sticking it to NBC.  That’s the logic behind his show’s newest character, the Bugatti Veyron Mouse.  It’s a Bugatti Veyron, the most expensive car in the world, with big ears and a mouse nose/whiskers attached to the grill.  Why did Conan do this?  Because, as he says in the video found over at Jalopnik, it’s “crazy expensive.”  That’s also why the Bugatti Veyron Mouse’s theme song is “Satisfaction,” by the Rolling Stones.

The total cost for the bit is, roughly, $1.5 million dollars.  He’s going to make NBC President Jeff Zucker bleed for every cent of money they think they’re going to make by moving Jay back to The Tonight Show.  Is it vindictive?  Of course!  Is it awesome?  Of course!  I think we all wish we could legally soak our employers for every red cent before ending a job we were unjustly terminated from.   I mean, the poor guy’s having to turn to Craigslist to make ends meet!

This is the kind of brazen, reckless comedy I loved seeing from Conan O’Brien when he started at Late Night.  This is why I think he’s the funniest host in late night television, and the class of the 11:35 crop.  Go Team Coco!

For over 10 years, Domingo Pianezzi has trained surfers on the Peruvian beach town of San Bartolo.  Mostly people, but sometimes he’s also helped train animals to surf.  In his case, he has a dog that he’s trained to surf with him, and he even participates in international pet surfing competitions.  Since he knew he […]

Like something out of a Jimi Hendrix song, the citizens of Stavropol, Russia, are surrounded by a purple haze.  It’s not LSD or smoke-machine related; this purple haze is actually purple snow, which blanketed the region earlier this week.  The snow isn’t actually all purple, it actually ranges in color from red to brown.  The […]

Enjoy this one while it’s around, gang, because I have no idea how long it’ll manage to stay online (though Battlestar Rhapsody is still around, thankfully).  From the credit montage to the fighter ship doing doughnuts, some creative genius has completely remade the famous Beastie Boys video “Sabotage” featuring an all-Battlestar Galactica cast.  The title […]

There’s nothing better than a good old-fashioned sports controversy, and boy, is this one big.  Like, 6′8 women’s basketball player Brittney Griner big.  Given that she’s bigger than most everyone else on the court, Brittney Griner gets a lot of aggressive defense, but during a game versus Texas Tech, this giant proved she is not […]

He flies through the air with the greatest of ease.  Seth Enslow isn’t a man on a flying trapeze, however; he’s more like a tattooed madman on the back of a specialized Harley Davidson.   Enslow took a Harley-Davidson XR1200, put a dirt bike suspension and handlebars on it, and then used that bike to […]

Two teachers, when asked to perform at a high school pep rally, took things from the gym to the strip club with their routine.  Chrystie Fitchner, a physical education teacher, and an unnamed male teacher performed a little routine students dubbed Two Teachers, One Chair, which featured Fitchner receiving a lap dance from a male […]

It’s one of my biggest problems with 3-D movies.  I don’t mind paying extra, nor do I mind wearing goofy plastic eyeglasses.  However, I do mind the headaches and blurred vision that usually accompanies 3-D movies.  I figured I was in the minority on this, but VOA News suggests that 3-D headaches, eye strain, and […]
