I used to follow a Tumblr website called “Literally Unbelievable” (the site is sadly no longer kept up to date with new submissions).  It shared examples of instances where people misinterpreted The Onion and other satire sites as genuine news reports.  It was entertaining but also eye-opening to see just how many…

Oof.  I’d probably do the Flavius Shuffle myself if I heard something like that.  Customs Agents (even the super-polite Canadian ones) don’t fool around.

I’m not sure if this is the experience for most, but when I started watching SNL, I’d also watch the reruns that were aired on Comedy Central and DVDs of the “best” of certain cast members. Of course a DVD containing only the most successful sketches will put the show in its best light, but watching the reruns had me…

English is hard -- even for professional riters.

Holy cow, it’s like a car crash — I knew it was going to be bad, but I looked anyway.

Did... did you work in a cartoon?

Bring Your Own Car. You don’t want to have to count on someone else for transportation.

Cox wasn’t just buying any car—she was a brand new Porsche.

I’m not about to watch the video and give this guy more of the attention he so desperately craves, so perhaps some of this was addressed there, but I think it’s worth pointing out since I haven’t seen these points raised in the articles covering this incident:

...the housing market is bonkers. Prices are out of control, demand is out of control...

You may well be the only journalist on this website, period.

The chlorine was sanitizing the inside of your lungs, killing any harmful germs or bacteria that might be growing in there and making you sick. It’s the next best thing to huffing Lysol.

Thank you for being honest that the description is “most searched” and not necessarily “favorite” cookies in each state (a distinction that USAToday goofed up in their headline on the subject).

I don’t go to Taco Bell very often, but every couple years I get a craving for it and stop by. The last time I was there, they were promoting a lightly grilled tortilla wrapping up either beans or ground beef with tortilla chips mixed in (I think it’s the “Loaded Griller”) for 99¢. At that price, I assumed them to be…

Textbook “crazy eyes”

I never really warmed to her, and I think it’s because the series dragged on for so long. By the time they got to whatever season she showed up in, my attitude was: “Why should I care about this one? What makes this MPDG more special than all the others he’s dated?”

I was a big fan of the show during its run (I am a sucker for an ensemble comedy of young adults living in the big city — see: Friends, Happy Endings, and any number of similar shows), but even when new episodes were airing, I found myself more excited to rewatch the DVDs of the first few seasons than I was to watch…

I keep a Post-It note over my webcam lens when not in use like most people, but I have to wonder: How big of a threat is this for “regular” people? Celebrities, sure; people are always trying to sneak pictures of them. But what’s a hacker going to do with a video of me snacking on Cheetos with a dumb look on my face…

Oh my goodness, the yelling.  I tuned in for the ‘80s pop culture references but was really turned off by all the constant screaming -- it gave me anxiety.  George Segal was great on the show, partially because his seemed like the only character capable of expressing an emotion at anything other than full volume.

Clearly she fed him to a pack of tigers.
