A fun trend in wedding photography these days involves getting a picture of the bride and groom and their cohorts running toward the camera as if being chased. Then, while editing the pics, the photographer adds a horrific pursuer to fit the new couple’s taste in fictional antagonists. Here are a few examples…

Artist Jack Long combines elements of sculpting, painting, and photography for his remarkable works, which are images of colored water splashed into the air to look, for a fraction of a second, like flowers.

Every country in the world has a fair portion of its history steeped in bloodshed, war & a blatant disregard for human life – none of us are truly guilt free. But it’s one thing to document the history and shortcomings of a country and quite another to peddle political propaganda designed to drive a wedge between nations and fear amongst the population. The more restrictive a government and the less information that flows, the less aware its people become. Once that starts occurring, it’s infinitely easier t0 set the agenda according to your own interests. That’s the sole aim with any form of propaganda, cherry pick information designed influence an audience in an emotional rather than rational manner.

Here are all t-shirts Sheldon Cooper was wearing during six seasons of The Big Bang Theory.

Desk Safari is a funny photo project started by Mike Whiteside, one half of the creative duo Mike & Ben, that cleverly places laptops and tablets with images of animals with their heads or bodies cropped off in front of the corresponding parts of office coworkers. The playful, ongoing series features some hilarious pairings that are perfectly aligned.

See if this doesn't make you crack a smile. Deep within his garden, in Batam Island, Indonesia, photographer Uda Dennie is busy takes photos of a quite humorous sight - jumping spiders with water drops on their heads! The massive water droplets stay in place for about a minute, which is just the right amount of time for the 33-year-old to snap these shots. While most of us feel a bit squeamish when looking at macro photos of spiders, Dennie has somehow taken that uneasy feeling away, replacing it with curiosity and glee.

These miniature potato installations are absolutely hilarious. Artist Peter Pink, self-described as "a nonsense maker," has taken the very basic food item and transformed it into a large group of expressive personalities. Potatoes is a series of situations in which the pink-sunglasses-wearing spuds protest with pink flags, fight off large groups of cucumbers, and catch some rays under pink umbrellas on the beach.

We do not often imagine our favorite heroes getting sad, but artist J. Salvador has created a cute series of posters to show that they do. Called “Super Emo Friends”, this series pays tribute to our favorite pop culture characters—and their problems. From Batman, who laments that his parents are dead, to the Green Lantern’s amusing complaint that his favorite color is actually yellow, these illustrations will definitely brighten up your day. Scroll down to view the rest.

The event is held in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada and starts on Labor Day, which is celebrated on the last Monday in August. Each year the festival is themed and this year’s theme is “Cargo Cult”.

This oddly formed fresh produce is grown in the vicinity of Fukushima, Japan and from the look of them, I think it is better if you don’t eat anything grown in this area at all.

A guy bought this PS2 for $10. I don’t think the owner of this gaming console is going to be happy that it was sold.

Shocking news that will shock you: The Late Late Show welcomed the most likable man in all of entertainment on the show last night to have a half-improv’d chat with our man Craig Ferguson and all the video evidence CBS has made available to the internet thus far is a ninety second context-less clip and nothing on YouTube. I’m pretty sure they’re just trolling me personally at this point. Thankfully there are plenty (read: half dozen) of Ferguson fans on the internet fighting the good fight for the rest of us and uploading full interview segments at the best quality they can muster. It’s the mornings after appearances by the likes of Jon Hamm and Zach Galifianakis that we must thank them the most. As alluded to in the title, the appearance of my other spirit guide not named Joel McHale is all sorts of delightful as Craig and Jon spend twelve minutes chatting and not focusing on anything in particular despite talking Jon Hamm’s ESPYs hosting gig just a little bit (holy sh*t does this mean I have to watch the ESPYs?). What it lacks in Galifianakis weirdness it makes up for in the Hamm-bone’s willingness to play along with everything and be the greatest. Ferguson — as always — brings his A game, derailing any sort of real talking point as soon as it presents itself. Highlights include: Discussing India’s King Ralph, Mick Jagger and Larry King’s elementary school, a Jon Hamm history lesson on Druids, Jon Hamm’s award show host shortcomings, golf, hobbits, and milk delivery. Oh, and penis innuendo. Plenty of penis innuendo. Enjoy.

I’ve always sort of pictured Benedict Cumberbatch as the most British man alive, but playing Wikileaks’ Julian Assange in this trailer for The Fifth Estate, the ol’ chimney sweep proves himself more than capable of pulling off an Australian accent, unlike, say, anyone in Pacific Rim. Assange, the Edgar Winters of journalism, is obviously a divisive figure, and in The Fifth Estate, director Bill Condon, fresh off filming abstinence-induced feats of strength and the agony of heartburn face in the last two Twilight movies, directs an adaptation of the books Inside WikiLeaks: My Time With Julian Assange At The World’s Most Dangerous Website (by Daniel Domscheit-Berg) and WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange’s War On Secrecy (by David Leigh and Luke Harding), written for the screen by Fringe writer Josh Singer. Think of it as the narrative fiction counterpart to We Steal Secrets. Regardless, hopefully Bill Condon hasn’t gotten too used to shooting Twilight movies. If the Julian Assange character and some girl just stand there staring at each other with stupid f*cking looks on their faces for ten minutes, we’ll know.

The UFC’s greatest boastful personality Chael Sonnen spoke to fans during a Q&A session at the UFC Fan Expo this past weekend in Las Vegas, and he continued to prove why he needs to host a charisma seminar for all new fighters every year, so they don’t all have the personalities of notebook paper. Seriously, if we could bottle the 36-year old’s attitude and ability to speak confidently in public, and inject it into all of the younger fighters, the future of the promotion would be secure for at least 20 years. As a fan asked Sonnen if he’s a prankster behind the scenes, it was pretty clear that the light heavyweight was just waiting for an opportunity to mention that his contract is up so he could unleash his hilarious contract demands that he jokingly claimed to have texted to UFC President Dana White. And I’m glad that he dodged the question and did his own thing, because it was well worth it.

Now that former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva is a professional fight-thrower, he’s got more time to pursue his TRUE love in life — filming pointless cameos in low budget MMA films. Last month we shared with you the trailer for Tapped, a movie starring Silva and actors who were more popular in the 80s about a young man who steps into the cage and faces CHALLENGES. This month we’ve got Monday Nights At Seven, a movie starring Silva and an actor who was more popular in the 80s about a young man who steps into the cage and faces challenges. The only difference is that Tapped is a real movie, and you have to pay the filmmakers $500,000 if you want to see Monday Nights At Seven. Here’s how they describe it: "A history-making narrative film featuring the first-ever un-choreographed, actual MMA fight...AND an actual Story! Osss!" How could you not want to give them $500,000??

It's that time of the week! (Hopefully, it's not that time of the month for half of the population though.) It's time for our Funny, Sexy, and Awesome Cosplay we found on the internet today. Since it's Comicon season again, you know there are bound to be a whole bazooka load of new Cosplay's for your eyes to gander on. Get your sewing kits ready, because maybe you'll be inspired and by next year's Halloween, you'll be ready with your costume IFFF you work hard enough. Now get out there and get creative!

We’ve all been there. You want to spice things up in your life, but rather than skydive or buy a new hot pot, this one in blue, NOT red, you instead look for a shortcut to your home, and end up getting stuck in a wall, and scream for help, and everyone assumes you’re a ghost, and you’re in China, and you’re a middle-aged woman. Classic. Having gone too far to turn around, the woman, from China’s Anhui province, became entrenched in brick and concrete wall. Screams, however, proved of little help, as building residents naturally assumed she was a ghost. Ultimately, a passerby, realizing her screams did not emanate from the grave, called for help. Yes, it’s just another one of those hijinks we get into every day, like scheduling two dates at the same time on the same night, and then you get stuck in a wall at Burger King when you should be at McDonald’s.

While it’s not our normal mandate, we’ll cover the occasional music video if we deem it enough of sufficient artistic achievement to warrant attention, such as “Thanksgiving” or “Friday.” And “Mass Text” by Tay Allyn certainly seems to qualify. It’s closer to putting an ice pick in both your ears than anything created up until this point. Eat your heart out, Adam Levine. It’s a song that tells a story, and it begins with a simple scenario, a mass-text party invite, which our protagonist apparently didn’t receive, much to her chagrin, and quickly deteriorates into Allyn demanding to know “WHY DIDN’T I GET YOUR MASS TEXT? I’M IN YOUR CONTACTS!” over and over like a deranged clingy sorority girl from the deepest bowels of hell. Part of me feels bad for contributing to the ubiquitousness of this inevitably-viral video, but it simply demanded to be shared. I guarantee this video is ten times scarier than Evil Dead.

If you want to attend one great tour with one terrible name this summer, make sure it’s the AmericanaramA Festival of Music Tour. Acts include Richard Thompson, Bob Weir, Wilco, Bob Dylan, and My Morning Jacket, the last three of which covered Reverend Gary Davis’s “Twelve Gates to the City” together in Toronto on Monday. OK, technically, Dylan was only joined by Jeff Tweedy and Bobby from Sons of Anarchy, who’s somehow inhibited the body and voice of Jim James, but I’m not going to mess with Mr. Munson, are you?

So, based on Internet reaction Syfy’s Sharknado was the biggest movie since, well, pretty much forever. A sequel has already been greenlit! But hey, you don’t have to wait the two months or whatever it’s going to take to churn out another Sharknado movie. You can keep this Syfy shark meme going by watching Ghost Shark on August 22nd. Yup, Ghost Shark. As in, a shark that’s a ghost. Don’t worry, this shark doesn’t let its spectral nature keep it from biting bikini-clad ladies in half. Scroll down for video proof…

In case you haven’t heard, folksy Fox & Friends garden gnome Gretchen Carlson is leaving walking human dildos Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade behind for greener pastures, namely Megyn Kelly’s afternoon time slot, because Megyn Kelly is headed to primetime to replace Greta Van Whatshername. Carlson will be replaced on the morning propaganda operation by Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the latest addition to Fox News’ blonde conservative gal stable. Stephen Colbert talked about this in last night’s edition of “Tip Of The Hat/Wag Of The Finger,” where he noted that the network was “boldly changing the face of news” with the moves. More importantly, the segment hand-delivered a piece of gold to the internet’s tireless GIF-makers, as evidenced above. And the clip is below for your further enjoyment.

The above tank top is available at Bad Kids Clothing for $19.99 and you can grab it in pretty much any size and five different colors. It’s the perfect way to tell people that you like making fun of Taylor Swift’s dating past and also feel like showing off your sculpted guns. You’re hip, young and relevant, and you don’t have a care in the world. Except maybe some seriously pissed off Swift fans (AKA Swifties), as they’ve allegedly been going after Bad Kids Clothing’s founders, Lex Houser and Andi Cross, for cracking wise at their pop idol’s expense. According to the pair of 26-year old party lifestyle and dance music enthusiasts, Swifties are mad with power after forcing Abercrombie and Fitch to take its own Taylor Swift shirt off the market, so they have no problem going after these small-timers. The only problem is… they’re not going to cave to the prepubescent pressure. “They keep telling me to take it off the site, but it wasn’t on the site, so I guess they wanted me to take down the picture [from Instagram],” Houser explains. “So I took down the picture–I don’t really care–and then they kept going. It got worse and worse.” “Finally I just responded to one and I was like, ‘It’s gone, what do you want?’ And they were like, ‘Oh, you think just because it’s gone that this is over? Just wait until you see what happens to you.’”

Good Cop: This nine-minute Breaking Bad refresher is pretty cool, and helpful, whether you’ve watched all the episodes or not. If you’ve been watching since the beginning, it’ll definitely help jog your memory before the final eight episodes start on August 11, as it hits all the important moments in the show’s 54 episode run that got us to where we are now. And if you haven’t seen the show at all yet, it serves as a kind of Cliff’s Notes to give you the basic framework so you can jump in for the premiere without dedicating a huge chunk of your next few weeks to getting caught up. Bad Cop: WHY AREN’T YOU CAUGHT UP ON BREAKING BAD YET?! GOD. JUST WATCH THE EPISODES. THERE’S STILL TIME. YOU’D ONLY HAVE TO WATCH LIKE TWO EPISODES A DAY. ARE YOU REALLY TELLING ME YOU CAN’T DO THAT? REALLY? WHO ARE YOU, THE PRESIDENT? CARVE OUT THE TIME AND WATCH IT. FEEL FREE TO USE THIS VIDEO FOR WHAT IT IS — A REFRESHER — BUT DO NOT USE IT AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR ACTUALLY WATCHING ONE OF THE BEST TELEVISED DRAMAS IN HISTORY. I WILL SCREAM.

I think most of us, anyway, are on the same page with regard to the final season of Dexter : It's been a less than good season of a show that's been limping for quite some time. Charlotte Rampling's Dr. Vogel is somewhat compelling, but most of us are just hanging in there because we want to know: "Will Dexter die?" It's certainly pointing that way, and Dexter's exchange with Dr. Vogel this week about demonstrating selfless love through sacrifice provides further evidence. But, man, what have they done to Debra Morgan? She's always had her neuroses, and for such a strong female character, she's always been TERRIBLE at choosing her boyfriends (and wanting to bone Dexter only makes matters worse), but this year, the downward spiral has taken a huge toll. She's not only a woman in love with her brother, she's now a murder, an alcoholic, a drug abuser, and a sex fiend. I miss the Debra of old. She's still got the occasional decent profanity-lace line, but it's not the same. So, in honor of the old Debra, let's take a moment to appreciate the gems she's given us over seven and a half seasons of Dexter.

Former ‘Weeds’ star Mary-Louise Parker says she’s pretty close to quitting acting, mainly because the internet is full of meanies. Parker, who is in not one but two movies coming out on July 19 (‘Red 2′ and ‘R.I.P.D.’), told News Corp Australia, “I’m not really that into [acting] anymore. I don’t know how many more movies I wanna do. I wouldn’t mind doing a TV show again, I’d like to do a couple more plays, but I’m almost done acting, I think.” Read: “Eventually, when I’m bored with acting, I think I’ll quit acting.” And why would she walk away? Lamented MLP, “The world has gotten too mean for me, it’s just too bitchy. All the websites and all the blogging and all the people giving their opinion and their hatred … it’s all so mean-spirited, it’s all so critical.” “It’s sport for people, it’s fun to get on at night and unleash their own self-loathing by attacking someone else who they think has a happier life – or something, I dunno.” While Parker is self-admittedly “thin-skinned,” she says if you haven’t been the subject of such nastiness, you might have trouble sympathizing: “You can say ‘Oh I let it roll off my back’ and ‘I wouldn’t take it personally’, but you have no idea until it happens to you. It doesn’t feel nice.” When asked what she might do if she retired, Parker said, “I would write, still. I write for Esquire (magazine) and writing makes me happy. I would take care of my kids and my goats. That’s about it. Bake. Throw my internet in the lake.” And after throwing her internet box in the lake, MLP would live a quiet life, free from online bullying. You know, after a few more movies, a television series and maybe a couple of plays. We’ll miss you, Nancy Botwin!

Things are going well for the super-heroic hunks of Hollywood, with ‘Iron Man’ portrayer Robert Downey Jr., White House savior Channing Tatum and Wolverine himself — Hugh Jackman — landing the top three spots on the list of Tinseltown’s highest paid actors. Forbes tallied up earnings between June 2012 and June 2013 and found that RDJ came out on top at $75 million — which, when you remember he starred in six big-budget blockbusters that each made $500 million, with ‘The Avengers’ and ‘Iron Man 3′ earning over $1 billion — shouldn’t come as any surprise. Meanwhile, the current Sexiest Man Alive (admit it, you’d let him Channing all over your Tatum) came in at No. 2 with earnings of $60 million, largely because he helped fund ‘Magic Mike’ and thus pocketed a big chunk of the movie’s $167 million box office take. Hugh Jackman rounded out the top three, bringing in $55 million for his work as Wolverine and in ‘Les Miserables,’ the latter of which earned him his first Academy Award nomination and his first Golden Globe win. Here’s the whole list of Hollywood’s top male earners:

When it comes to Star Wars, yes Yoda was the wisest and Darth Vader (tied with Boba Fett) was the coolest – but what of Chewbacca and his Wookie heritage? He was the most loveable of all wasn’t he? Well in between battling with The Empire & all that grooming, Wookies are just like you and I.

Congrats to Adam Levine! The Maroon 5 singer, who goes through supermodels like water, is now engaged to on-again off-again — currently very much on-again — love Behati Prinsloo. Levine, 34 popped the question to Prinsloo, 24, over the weekend, his rep told PEOPLE. “Adam Levine and his girlfriend Behati Prinsloo are excited to announce they are engaged to be married,” his mouthpiece said. “The couple recently reunited and Adam proposed this weekend in Los Angeles.” The pair first began dating last year, but split in the spring. Levine was linked to fellow model Nina Agdal before reuniting wit Victoria’s Secret Angel Prinsloo — who is well-acquainted with another one of his exes, Anne Vyalitsyna (Anne V). Here’s hoping they can stick it out this time. Last we checked the only part of the Victoria’s Secret catalog you were supposed to recycle was the paper.

“It’s so hot outside.” “Can’t summer be over?” “UGH. So hot outside. Thanks, Obama.” That’s what you think you sound like right now. “Blahblahblah mememe moomoomoo” is what your constant summer griping actually sounds like to me. Maybe instead of complaining about how bright the sun is (are you serious?), you should be thankful that you don’t have to wear pants for at *least* two more months. No pants. And this does not only apply to ladies. If I saw a dude in a skirt right now, first I would probably think “Hey dude, Bonnaroo was several weeks ago and in a different state,” but then I would probably think “Right on, sir. Right on.” Also, did it not occur to you that 95 degree weather is a permission slip for unlimited tiki drinks? Seriously, everybody needs to stop complaining about summer. Right now. Here’s why.
