Well, it's happening. Again. Comedy Central has announced that 'Futurama' is being cancelled. The network opted out of renewing the show for another season, meaning that the 13 episodes airing this summer will be the show's last. In theory. Unless it gets another revival, pops up on Netflix or maybe they just make some more movies.
Before you head off to that weekend-long music festival, you better remember to pack your bear costume! At least if the festival is Coachella, you'd better. People like to get weird when they go there, so we picked some of our favorite strange outfits and fashion trends from the festival to share with you here. Between these and being able to see the shows on YouTube, you can pretend you had several hundred extra dollars on hand to blow on an extravagant weekend.
Holy moly, *this* was an episode of 'Game of Thrones.' We actually, honestly said many expletives out loud watching it last night. When it was over we felt a little bit like somebody crashed a pair of cymbals right over our head. Now we are sad that we have to wait until next week to see more, so here are some glorious GIFs to help you relive the episode all week long. And remember, it's a HBO show filled with violence and nudity, so some of these GIFs are NSFW. Also, SPOILERS. Obvs.
Boston is currently on lockdown as police continue the manhunt for Dzhokar A. Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing investigation. No people out and about makes for a pretty eerie scene in the town. Here are 15 pictures taken by people and uploaded to Twitter and Instagram to give you an idea of how Boston looks right now. It's pretty bananas. Have a look.
In case you missed it, the ever-horrible Westboro Baptist Church announced they would be picketing at the funerals of the people who died in the Boston Marathon bombing. The church, if you don't know, likes to go around to funerals and say that God hates America for allowing gay marriage, and the death that attendees are mourning is just his wrath. It's basically the definition of awful. Well, the "hacktivist" group Anonymous was having none of it.
We saw this amazing resignation cake and got inspired. Not to quit our jobs, but to admire the ways others have in the past. Our most "creative" quit was telling the owner of a Chinese buffet over the phone that they couldn't yell at us anymore, because we quit so there. Compared to these, that just isn't that impressive.
It was another fun week on 'Game of Thrones.' Last night's episode, 'Walk of Punishment,' followed the pretty standard (which is not to say not awesome) formula of people talking blahblahblah, Tyrion jokes, more people talking, boobs, more talk--OH MY GOD WHAT?!!?!!???!!! WHAT JUST HAPPENED??! And then the episode is over.
