Photo of Obama Playing With Tiny Spider-Man Charms the Web
Fine. Time magazine was right -- Barack Obama is the Person of the Year. We can't argue with this photo, which was taken back in October.
Mistletoe Prank Makes Everybody Make Out
Here's a little video to get you into the spirit of Christmas, if you're kind of trampy. Nate, Caitlin and Stuart set up shop on the campus of Brigham Young University to trick as many people as possible into kissing them by using a sprig of renegade mistletoe that drops down at a moment's notice. They are braver than we -- the whole time we watched this all we could think was "Herpes! Herpes! Herpes alert!"

Who Was the Most Annoying Person of 2012?

Ridiculous ‘Pickles’ Song Is Mysterious Internet Hit
This is happening right now on the internet. 'Pickles,' a song by Irish (by way of Russia and Israel) artist Yasha is blowing up. It's not very good, but it's gotten more than eight million views in the past six days
Is ‘Milking’ the New, Weirder ‘Planking’?
We know, you didn't think it would be possible for a meme to be more random than planking, but it's happened. Consider this -- after planking, one is not drenched in approximately a half a gallon of milk. That's the problem you get with "milking," which is basically a person standing in a public place dumping a half gallon of milk on their head while somebody films them.
Newscaster Gustavo Almodovar Has the Greatest Sign-Off
At this precise moment in time, we are so grateful that we don't live in Orange County. If we did, the local news might have driven us insane by now. Here's a video compilation of reporter Gustavo Almodovar signing off over and over again
Bacon Pancakes Plus Jay-Z Equals Best ‘Adventure Time’ Remix Ever
Just when you thought Jake the Dog singing about making bacon pancakes couldn't get any better, it does. Thanks, internet.
