Early Tuesday morning, the family of Alton Sterling woke to the news that their father, significant other, friend, and family member was dead.

Jaguar Pokes Fun At Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift
If you were on the internet yesterday, you probably saw social media having a bit of a fangirl-style meltdown. It happens on a fairly regular basis, especially if anything of note happens to Justin Bieber or a member of One Direction. This week’s crisis-that-really-isn’t focuses on America’s pop princess (and sweetheart) Taylor Swift, who was […]

These are lean times for Comedy Central’s late night shows. Despite the fact that there is ample material for political satire this primary season, The Daily Show, now hosted by comedy newcomer Trevor Noah, is down 30% in the ratings since Jon Stewart retired from the program back in August. The Nightly Show with Larry […]

Patent Trolls are a Problem in the Auto Industry, Too
Most American citizens are still in mourning over the fact that Jon Stewart is stepping down from The Daily Show to make way for an offensively unfunny replacement, but we can at least take comfort in the continued success of Stewart’s protégé, John Oliver, whose Last Week Tonight has humorously highlighted America’s broken infrastructure, municipal […]
John Oliver Explains How Speeding Tickets Can Ruin Lives
Although the announcement that Jon Stewart is leaving The Daily Show has gripped the country with fear and unease, the high-quality satire being pumped out by John Oliver and his staff on HBO’s Last Week Tonight should assuage some of our nation’s worries. After (hilariously) calling attention to our country’s crumbling infrastructure earlier this month, John […]
Ed Norton Stars in Last Week Tonight’s Hilarious “Infrastructure” Trailer
Our crumbling American infrastructure—which includes thousands of dilapidated, unsafe bridges and highways—was well-documented last year in a 60 Minutes investigative piece. It was an informative and eye-opening journalistic work… but it wasn’t very funny. Thankfully, Jon Oliver and some big-name stars have rectified that problem on the most recent episode of HBO’s Last Week Tonight. […]
‘Last Week Tonight’ Skewers GM and Mary Barra
Have you watched HBO’s Last Week Tonight? If you haven’t, you need to fix that problem right away.

That is to say it’s as hilarious and witty as […]
Obama Meets Asimo, Bows, Dooms All of Mankind
When our robot overlords herd us into their factories and crush the skulls of our fallen beneath their treads, we will solemnly whisper: "Thanks, Obama."
Updated: 4/29 Remember how I playfully suggested that right-wing pundits might just freak out about the prospect of the President of the United States bowing to a robot manufactured by a Japanese automaker? Well, I was mostly right. From a deleted tweet rescued by io9: Critics saying President Obama bowing to a Chinese robot makes […]
Carmaker Ford Stresses It Is Not Associated with Rob Ford
Mayor of Toronto Rob Ford has quickly become better known as the crack-smoking, vulgar language-using, alcoholic Mayor of Toronto after he admitted to using crack-cocaine during a drunken stupor just a year ago. He’s done ridiculous thing after ridiculous thing, and if you want to find examples of his cursing, you won’t have to look […]
The Ford Mustang Isn’t Going Anywhere Because Of Course It Isn’t Going Anywhere
The name of James B. Stewart’s New York Times column, “Common Sense,” seems all the more appropriate given this week’s installment: “‘Mustang Means Freedom’: Why Ford Is Saving an American Icon.” Even acknowledging the fact that Ford is murdering its darlings and putting the Taurus, Fusion, Fiesta, and C-MAX out to pasture, the idea of […]
2015 Chevy Colorado Z71 Takes on Blizzapocalypsegeddon ’15
The blizzard that hit New York wasn’t quite devastating enough to justify all of the ridiculous media coverage it garnered, but the storm did leave a lot of snow on the ground. So Bill Saporito of TIME magazine took advantage of the opportunity and showed off the 2015 Chevy Colorado Z71 4×4’s off-roading capabilities in […]
