Real recent FOX news broadcast…

Geraldo made the same mistake nationally…

And then there was another FOX affiliate with this typo in their crawl…

Wow! EPIC NEWS REPORTING FAILZ!

Done protecting net neutrality, Google moves on to other markets…

This is in regards to the Google/Verizon deal which is attempting to abridge a principle called “network neutrality.” Basically, they eventually want to turn the internet into the cable TV system and charge you for packages of websites.

I make light here, but this is pretty serious stuff. A small, independent site like Tastes Funny would not be able to exist under such a system. So read up and support organizations like the EFF that are doing yeoman’s work to keep the internet fair and open.

Screenjunkies.com has some select shots from the Flickr account redandjohnny, a nice young Storm Trooper couple.

I’m still tracking down the source of the above photo, but I had to post it for now because in many ways it needs no explanation. CITATION UPDATE: Nicholas_urman based on the 4chan meme?

I don’t think it’s related, but Cracked.com has this image of Jesus as a velociraptor:

I’m no expert, but I’m fairly certain it’s better theology to imagine Jesus preaching to the dinosaurs, but not being one.

UPDATE: The YouTubes has seen fit to beknight us with a “Best of Raptor Jesus” video, replete with Clawed’s Only Begotten Son in many a Biblical episode. While I don’t condone placing speech bubbles (without citing the line of the scripture), it is nice to have His words in context.

This picture is too funny:

Sick of being made fun of, the WTF changed its name. As Mark Frauenfelder notes, “that’s Too F*ing Weird, if you ask me.”

You’d think a blog filled with pictures of signs with unnecessary quotation marks would not be updated that frequently. You’d be wrong.

Be sure to visit the Unnecessary Quotes blog and read the interpretation of some of these signs. Or should I say, be “sure” to “visit” the blog and read the interpretation “of” some of “these” signs.

They’ll have to change the John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt song…

According to Norwegian site VG Nett, bus driver Andreas Jankov has formally changed his name to Julius Andreas Gimli Arn MacGyver Chewbacka Highlander Elessar-Jankov. “I wanted to show that it is possible to be serious and at the same time take the name you like,” said the film enthusiast. “I wanted to see how far I could take it with respect to the number of names. I started thinking about this three years ago and it was approved in January this year.”

…

So, when/if he gets married, will he make his wife take his name?

–Huffington Post

Do you, Julius Andreas Gimli Arn MacGyver Chewbacka Highlander Elessar-Jankov, take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?

And do you, Maria Buffy Lolita Seinfeld Twilight Kangaroo-Jack take Julius Andreas Gimli Arn MacGyver Chewbacka Highlander Elessar-Jankov to be your husband?

I now pronounce you Mr. & Mrs. Buffy Lolita Seinfeld Twilight Kangaroo Jack-Gimli Arn MacGyver Chewbacka Highlander Elessar-Jankov.

I hope I’m not the only one who finds this premise amusing…

Streep Tease: An Evening of Meryl Streep Monologues Performed by an All-Male Company.

Once upon the internet, I tried to visit www.google.com. Road Runner, Time Warner Cable’s internet service, helpfully informed me it couldn’t find Google.

I thought this was odd. But odder still was a small link on the Road Runner page that read “Why am I here?” Since an answer to that question had been sought by philosophers and theologians since the beginning of recorded history, I was surprised to find it so nonchalantly linked from an ISP error page. Curious, I clicked.

Needless to say, I was disappointed by the answer. It wasn’t even as good as the number 42.

I still use Road Runner’s service, in hopes that one day I’ll discover pages for ‘What is the origin of the universe?’ or ‘Why can’t I lose weight even after exercising and dieting?’ and the answers will be more satisfying.

– Things to Say During Sex

This is one that’s going around the interwebs. I traced it to a Philly-based comic blog called Comic Vs. Audience (why are stand up comics always so adversarial?) and a comic named Doogie Horner. Here’s a picture of Doogie as a visual of what not to look like during sex…

Some of Doogie’s stand-up routine can be seen about 3:42 into this video, if you’re interested. It includes an extended speculation on the origins of astronaut ice cream. I’ve always wondered why that was one of technologies that the space program spent its resources on.

A friend of mine is contributing to a tumblr blog called ‘Worst List‘ where people send in worsts, such as the following:

Worst Thing Said To A Homeless Person

I was four. My parents and I were visiting my grandma in the “big city” of Brooklyn, NY. On an afternoon stroll, we passed a homeless woman who had built her shopping cart and tin can shelter in the nook of a decorative foundation of a downtown building. She lifted her hands from the smelly tartan blankets and asked for money. My parents politely declined, and I stopped and shouted in a school yard manner…

“Nah nah nah nah nah… I have a house and you don’t.”

Worst Thing Said Before Sex

Me: Yes, I want to.
Her: I should tell you, I’ve been raped.

Me: …

That was the night I became a man.

But not in the “having sex” way… naturally, I couldn’t go through with that.

Worst Thing Found in a Toilet

My dad’s used condom. It’s like finding a fresh kill, assuming you’re not a hunter but a vegetarian and the sight of someone killing an animal makes you vomit and gives you night terrors.

My friend Gage has been making some hilarious t-shirt designs. You may remember him from his viral video hit, the P in the V rap. Anyway, here’s one on the torture humor theme that’s au courant.

An alternate design he considered was having the text read “AMERICA: RIGHT OR WRONG.” The hood would then be in the form of an American flag. Maybe it’s better he didn’t do it that way, since there might be some out there who would wear it without irony.

Looking to buy? This isn’t actually available on a t-shirt, as yet. But if enough people demand it, I’ll bet Gage can be persuaded.

If you like this, you may like the Thug Life Happy Butterfly t-shirt design.
