Getting banned in the UK for "denigrating" bottled drinks won't stop SodaStream from bringing their message to the biggest advertising opportunity in the world -- Super Bowl 2013. The advertisement shows people carbonating water with a SodaStream and making the bottles the beverages are contained in instantly disappear. Apparently other soda manufacturers were upset and the ad was pulled from British television.
Fiat decided to fill us all with mixed emotions with this commercial for the 2013 Super Bowl. On the one hand, you have a terrifying, venomous scorpion. On the other hand, boobs.
The Coney Island Polar Bear Club's annual New Year's swim looks like a great time. People in costumes, swimming, having fun. We probably should've gone, but there was that whole hangover thing to deal with. Which makes us wonder, does jumping into the freezing Atlantic ocean cure a hangover? If so, we're totally there next year.
Maybe Subway is stepping up their game a tad. They've made it abundantly clear that they now have avocados and sriracha sauce, and they will NOT be putting ketchup on anybody's sandwich. At all. They don't even have ketchup, and one employee was willing to fight to prove it. They don't call them sandwich artists for nothing.
Babies don't have to be laughing to be cute. This one is just very confused, and it's working for her. To be fair, she has every right to be confused -- her parents stuck her on a robot that is carting her around her living room
We haven't seen people this upset over a movie since those poor, poor children realized they were going to die one day after watching 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green.' These two fully-grown, middle-aged humans have, in fact, "been to funerals of family members and cried less" than they did watching Anne Hathaway's descent from factory worker to toothless prostitute. All it took was sitting through an afternoon matinee of 'Les Miserables.'
Here's a little gem from the TruTv reality show 'Principal's Office.' We aren't really sure how the principal thought it was going to go when he brought in two student "leaders" to ask them for help solving the school's "grinding" problem, but this seems about right.
We're all feeling it. Only this sheep is brave enough to express it. Because if you screamed like this in the office or at school, something bad would probably happen. We're not sure what, because nobody's ever done it
You might think that children are the only people capable of being delighted to the point of preciousness at the sight of a new puppy, but you would be wrong. Look at this manly dad, for example. He bangs on a car, covers his face with adorable fists, and does a little dance
Happy New Year! Why not start your year off right -- by watching Anderson Cooper desperately trying to keep Kathy Griffin's face away from his groin.
If you like 'Star Trek: The Next Generation,' you should watch this. If you don't like 'TNG,' you should watch this, and then stop being such a jerk.
We're seriously rethinking our hobbies. James "The Bear" McDonald is seen here plowing his way through the entirety of Denny's special "Hobbit" menu, because he's a competitive eater and that's what he does. We, on the other hand, have a drawer full of half-finished socks.
