I never had a pet growing up. I know, I know. Stop crying for me, guys. I’m okay now. I finally got over it. We had a couple birds (they don’t count), and we also had a dog for about two days until my parents gave it back. (Don’t even get me started…) I have always lived vicariously through my friends who have dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, etc. I was insanely jealous of them when I was younger and wished that I could have their pets as my pets. I wanted to become a professional pet-napper, if you will.

As a little girl deprived of a childhood pet, I quickly came to love YouTube. Basically for its plethora of dog videos, cat videos, any cute animal videos, etc. Some of the best videos out there are of pets doing silly tricks for treats. Instead of working on your resume or that final paper, why don’t you watch all these videos instead? Because Sundays are for procrastinating, and this is the perfect way to do that! Enjoy!

Being a girl is hard. Getting hit on when you’re trying to catch up with a friend. Dancing with your girls and suddenly feeling a creepy guy put his hands on your hips. Obviously not all guys are creepy but, sometimes, it seems that way. On the other hand, I can see how us girls can be pretty annoying when we go out. Dancing in big circles. Trying to be cute and flirty but really just coming off as coy. You can make an argument for either side, really. This Friday’s video is one that reverses these roles in the most obvious, hilarious way. There are several videos with this same idea, but this “Flip Side” video takes place in a bar, the home of annoying gender roles coming to life.

I know, I know. You’ve seen so many of these videos. Sh*t Girls Say. Sh*t White Girls Say To Black Girls. Sh*t New Yorkers Say. The list goes on. But we just had to post one more, because it is dead on. If you’ve ever lived in a college dorm, you can relate to this Sh*t RAs Say video. Maybe you’re an RA yourself. Or maybe you’re the person who has your RA saying, “Guys, it’s quiet hours.” Take a look.

I’m a dancer, so you can bet that the second anyone starts to dance in a movie, I’m paying attention. Sometimes I go on YouTube binges where I spend hours and hours looking at dance videos. But I don’t just enjoy watching videos of professional dancers onstage – I love movie dance scenes, too. And believe it or not, great dancing pops up in unexpected places. Sure, Dirty Dancing and Center Stage have big group dances. But do you remember the dance scene in (500) Days of Summer? Check out these videos of some of the best movie dance moments.

Do you love Disney movies? What about cute boys? Are you bored? Procrastinating? Desperately looking for something to do other than your poli sci homework? Well, we have something to you. Kill some time watching Nick Pitera’s Disney medley, in which he plays the heroine, the hero, the villain, and three other parts.

Once you get past the fact that this guy has a lot of time on his hands, it’s actually really cool. I promise.

Head on over to PopEater to check out the full video and have your mind officially blown.

W.T.Eff?

Banning books? Seriously? First Obama gets attacked from those crazy moms who think he’s out to brainwash children by giving them talks on the importance of education and now reading is bad for children, too?

The whole thing is just absurd. Have people even read the books they’re trying to ban? How can a story about a pooh named Winnie who likes to eat honey and play in the woods with his other anthropomorphic friends possibly be bad? It seems like a book that is deemed “good” and “appropriate” these days is a book that will not inform your child of the existence of sex, racism, violence, homosexuality, the devil, bad language, and any other concept that will cause children to ask you awkward questions. The whole banned books thing will probably cause my AP Literature class to be renamed AP Literature That Will Morally Damage Your Soul.

Does this mean we should ban Pokemon as well, since the little animals “evolve,” which therefore enforces the idea of evolution and is therefore anti-Christian and therefore is Satanic? Winnie the Pooh may be the poster child for the obesity epidemic, his friend Eeyore for depression, and Kanga for single moms everywhere, but that doesn’t mean our younger siblings can’t read about them. I happen to like Tigger, even if he does have ADHD. And although Harry Potter may have “witchcraft and wizardry” and whatnot, it’s still one of the most significant contributions to literature in our lives, and as such, should be available to anyone who wants to read it.

So let’s take the attention and money away from banning books and focus on some more important things that should be eradicated from this planet. Because in 2009 there are so many things worse than kids in capes flying around on broomsticks or finding a lion in your closet.

1) Twilight movies

We can send a man into space but Hollywood can’t make a decent vampire movie. The actors all have a deer-in-the-headlights look on screen and attempt to fly around like people in improperly rigged harnesses. There’s something oddly wrong with that. The only thing that could have made it worse was if they cast Megan Fox, and that’s only because she makes every movie ten times worse than it could’ve been, due to her acting skills, or lack thereof.

2) Crocs

Plastic rubber clogs with holes in them, with the loudest, most obnoxious colors imaginable. Need we say more?

3) Bad Alliteration

Amusing to a certain extent, but gets repetitive after every English major tries to sound like James Ellroy and just ends up sounding like an awful author addicted to annoying alliterations. Again.

4) Livestrong bracelet knockoffs

One yellow cancer bracelet is enough. Do we really need people sprouting an armful of colored rubber with every imagined cause stamped across them? Be a little more original, please. Oh, and true story from a friend:

“Weight Watchers sent me a bracelet after I signed up for a meeting. It was white, with some rainbow stripes on the side. But why would I wear a Weight Watchers bracelet? Is it not obvious enough that I need to lose weight? Do I also need to tag myself with a FAT GUY BRACELET?”

5) Gaming language

Otherwise known as nerdspeak. Common terms include noob, newb, noobsicle, ftw, gg, gg no re, 1337, QQ, lawlz, nub, pwned, pwnage, or even harpwnage (the act of being pwned really hard) should not, under any circumstance, be said in ordinary life.

6) Creepy Facebook ads

Someone please tell me how Facebook has managed to eerily know everything about us and assume what we want. “Discount airfare to China!” What? Just because I’m Asian?

7) A few select man trends

Including: rattails, ponytails, monster trucks, hairy backs, man-purses, chains, a gazillion tattoos, mandals, mandiators, and transparent shirts.

8) Starving Hollywood celebrities

Rachel Zoe, Renee Zellweger, Tori Spelling, Victoria Beckham, Amy Winehouse, and Ashlee Simpson all need to eat a few burgers before they’re fit for the public. Young people these days have enough to worry about besides trying to look like a skeleton. Save that look for Halloween, please.

9) Fat people falling Youtube videos

Guilty pleasure number one, but really should be banned to relieve my soul from residing too much in an immoral state of being. I really shouldn’t watch Scarlet taking a tumble a million times and laugh hysterically every time I see it; it’s bad for me as a conscientious human being, I’m pretty certain.

10) Special athletes that promote the stereotype

As a current student at Duke and avid sports player and fan, I know for fact that you can be incredibly smart and be amazing at your sport. So it worries me when people like this one fail at representing athletes in a more flattering light. Like, um, really.

Anything else you think we should ban?

The website is a non-profit organization that has volunteers contribute audio descriptions of sample movie clips from adult video sites. The thing is, though, these audio recordings are incredibly un-sexy. It’s not like some woman with a breathy voice is describing the porn scenes and moaning into the microphone. Generally, it’s a nerdy sounding guy describing the porn very matter-of-factly. “There is a bra draped over the chair.” “The man begins to vaginally penetrate the woman.”

Sexy? I’ll let you come to your own conclusions.

You can contribute to the website, too, if you want. There are lots of clips that have already been recorded and there are currently five “user requests” for specific porn websites. Porn for the Blind gives you a script so you know what to say, and tells you to use, “only proper anatomical language (male, female, penis, vagina, breasts, etc.)” What fun is that?

The folks over at Boinkology want to know, “how do you [the blind person] know where to click play in the first place?” And I think that is a very valid question.

But seriously, if you’ve always wanted to help the blind, here is your chance. It’s so easy to record a clip at Porn for the Blind, it would almost be rude not to. But please, please, try to use a somewhat sexy voice when you record your clip.

Porn should be fun, right?
