I don't know if it's humanly possible, but this video might even be better than the show itself:
Obviously, I'm kidding...nothing is better than the show itself. Well, maybe like "Citizen Kane" or something like that, but you'd have to put up pretty much a perfect argument on Kane's behalf because this stuff is pure poetry.
If you agree, I'd also recommend FUCK YEAH, JERSEY SHORE and then proceed to say goodbye to a solid hour of your life.

Finally, because it never gets old, here's Snickers getting punched in the face one more time:
Popeye: Drug-Taker
From The Awl:
The Associated Press
NEW YORK
Popeye finally came clean Monday, admitting he used spinach when he delivered a savage and unlikely beating to romantic rival Bluto in 1998. Popeye said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Monday that he used spinach on and off for nearly a decade.
"I wish I had never touched spinach," Popeye said in a statement. "It was foolish and it was a mistake. I truly apologize. Looking back, I wish I had never sailed during the spinach era."
Popeye also used broccoli, a person close to Popeye said, speaking on condition of anonymity ...
Some people just know how to make stuff that I want on my blog; this "Problem Comparison between Tiger Woods & Jay-Z" would fall into that category:

I have no idea why I think things like this are funny, but I do. And the problem is that whether you think it's funny or not, you're screwed, because you're so bored right now that you've ended up at brandonblattner.com, the self-appointed "Dorians of the Internet:" you're here because you have nowhere else to go, and even though you don't quite want to go back to work just yet, it's starting to look a little more appealing the more you look around. Well, guess what? I think the fucking steak article is funny. And guess what else? I ...
Just brilliant writing, and this is just an excerpt:
"I don't know about you, but I can't wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal. I'm about to head up to the attic right now to find that wicker fucker, dust it off, and jam it with an insanely ornate assortment of shellacked vegetables. When my guests come over it's gonna be like, BLAMMO! Check out my shellacked decorative vegetables, assholes. Guess what season it is—fucking fall. There's a nip ...
Can you believe that such free/hilarious speech as depicted below, considered completely appropriate when published 70 years ago, would be considered "inappropriate" in today's society?! Where have our rights as Americans gone?
Oh yeah, well I guess it's kinda sexist. But it's still hilarious isn't it?!
For more sexist vintage advertisements, hit up here and here.

I'll let this guy talk because the Gizmodo writers are better than me, but this shit is crazy:
There's not much to say about these images of the Hoover Dam Bypass except expletives mixed with a dozen shades of amazement. It's not the longest or the tallest or the biggest or the complexest, and still, it's stunning:
Learn more about my newfound discovery and see much better pictures than mine at Gizmodo.
So we can go back to times like these when people were so God damned cool (exhibit A: a letter from Mick Jagger to Andy Warhol):
How badass?

Last week Kottke proclaimed the following to be the best flag in the world:
That's the flag of the Benin Empire, a pre-colonial African state situated in modern Nigeria that lasted from 1440 until 1897.
While quite awesome in its own respect, I must object to Mr. Kottke's proclamation. Frankly, for my money, I don't think it gets any better than the flag of the country in which I currently reside: that of the Democratic Republic of the Congo...about 15 years ago. The current regime's idea of a flag pales in comparison to the one (below) that flew over the Congo during ...
Do you have ANY idea how big Antarctica is (and, yes, it did take me about 3 tries to spell AntarCtica correctly)?
So, apparently, it's THAT big...at least according to a random picture I found on the internet. So that was kind of surprising.
Um, so, to read more about Antarctica click here I guess...

Republic nightclub in New Orleans has a sign on the door that reads, “If it’s on Jersey Shore it’s not coming through the door: No Affliction, No Ed Hardy, No Christian Audigier, No Exceptions.”
Middle-of-the-night sources reported that Jobs then began work on double-spacing his Keynote presentation and increasing the font size to make it appear longer.
