Hamas Mickey Mouse
Political Buzz Hamas TV has a new children's show enlisting Mickey Mouse to promote a message of Islamic domination. The video clip is more boring than creepy. If you're trying to brainwash kids, maybe better production values and some psychedelic blobular creatures would help drive the message home.
-
Personal Anti-Violence Gun
Tech Buzz Your all-in-one crowd control solution: Taser, rubber bullets, paint balls, pepper spray and disorienting Xenon light! With taser use by police on the rise, this is for those situations where a Tampon Taser just won't cut it.
-
Ed Banger
Music Buzz Hip Parisian record label puts out dance music by Justice and Uffie. House music is back and it's not as obnoxious as we remember it being. In fact, the Ed Banger acts are even making the bloggers dance!
-
Confused Migrations
Science Buzz Whales and birds are baffled by the changing climate and their migratory patterns are all out of whack. The U.N. says global warming is to blame for confusing the Earth's migratory animals. Is this a possible explanation for how an Arctic Seal ended up in Florida?
-
Lost's Ending
TV Buzz The producers say they'll finish the show during the 2009/2010 season. We wish more series would have the balls to announce a definitive conclusion like this. You know, like Golden Girls - what a bizarre finale that turned out to be! Did Blanche join The Others?
-
Newseum
Culture Buzz The 250,000 sq. ft. interactive museum of news will experience a grand re-opening in October. We're the lazy kind of people who think carrying home the 8lb Sunday Times tome is a tiring feat, but this museum might actually be worth the trip. The Newseum website is pretty cool too, and should tide you over until autumn.
-
Gatecrashing 2.0
Culture Buzz When hackers show up at a party that was posted to MySpace and proceed to trash the place. These news stories make us miss high school even less, as if that was possible.
-
Corpse Flowers
Science Buzz Known for their enormous size and powerful, rotting-flesh scent, three rare corpse flowers are in bloom across the U.S. Big stinky flowers that look like penises? Yikes! There's probably some weird fetish group out there that just lives for these things to bloom.
-
Binge Flying
Culture Buzz Rough Guides publisher Mark Ellingham calls for people to cut down on their binge flying habits for the sake of the Earth. Losing someone to binge flying is really sad. We had a friend - her father was an ambassador - and we thought we could help her stop, but...oh god, we're getting choked up just thinking about it.
-
Teeny Tiny Houses
Style Buzz Tiny houses are popping up everywhere - think dollhouses and tree forts. We're not talking about the super-modern pre-fab ones you see in Dwell magazine all the time. Who lives in those things, and why do they not own any stuff? Anyway, we like these funny shrunken old-timey houses! Our dream is to live in one happily ever after with our pet miniature pony.

High Gas Prices
Business Buzz Summer's a-comin' and gas prices are a-soarin'. You can thank "refinery problems" for sending the new national average to $3.06 for a gallon of regular. In other news, refineries enjoy a huge first-quarter jump in profits.
-
Offsprung
Culture Buzz An online humor site started by Neal Pollack and Matthew Tobey (of Junkiness) about parenting. Let's face it: babies are funny in their own weird way, but it might be awhile before they start to understand what snark and nuanced irony are.
-
Record Box Office Summer
Movie Buzz 2007 is shaping up to be a record-breaker at the movies. Spider-Man 3 shattered domestic and international records at the box office over the weekend. With a bunch of juggernaut movies still to come - Shrek the Third, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Ocean's Thirteen, Rise of the Silver Surfer, Evan Almighty, Live Free or Die Hard, Transformers, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, The Simpsons Movie, The Bourne Ultimatum - studios are predicting a $4.5 billion summer.
-
Animal Epidemics
Science Buzz Mysterious diseases are killing off Chinese pigs and Tasmanian devils. First the bees, now this. Grab your sandwich boards and hit the streets - the End Times are nigh!
-
Gender-Based Abortions
Culture Buzz A new early gender test is causing debate over whether it would inspire more gender-based abortions. If you've got gender preference issues, there are supposedly ways to influence your baby's gender. So keep up that cervical fluid diary!
-
Free Paris
Celebrity Buzz While most people are giddy over Paris Hilton going to jail, some are defending her, and will even take to the streets. Not sure if a movement constituting four people (including Paris herself) counts, but hey, that's probably more than the number of people who bought her last album.
-
World of Warcraft Visa
Tech Buzz First National Bank launches a credit card for gamers - earn game time with every dollar you spend. The WOW Visa lets your date know where your priorities lie. It's cool when you pay for dinner with your Orc card.
-
Tanorexia
Celebrity Buzz Ex-tanorexic beauty queen is taking a stand against the unhealthy addiction to tanning salons. The latest style icon everyone's emulating isn't Kate Moss or Sienna Miller - it's the oompa loompah! If you don't believe us, check out these pics of Fergie and Lindsay bringing shortalls back.
-
Nicolas Sarkozy
Political Buzz France's right-wing candidate wins the presidential election. Depending on your point of view, he's either a xenophobic authoritarian or a steely-eyed pragmatist, but Sarko is the political face of France for at least the next five years. Just who is he?
-
White Tie
Political Buzz The White House will host a white tie dinner (the first of Bush's presidency) for Queen Elizabeth II. "The Commander Guy" is taking charge and making some executive fashion decisions. Hopefully he'll remember to chew with his mouth closed.

Cheap Designer Wedding Dresses
Style Buzz Isaac Mizrahi's launching a line of affordable wedding dresses for Target. Why didn't someone think of this sooner? Now if only they'd offer men's tuxedos at these prices, we could all be happy on that Special Day.
-
Bounce
Music Buzz New Orleans' underground booty rap scene. We know you are in dire need of some new dance moves so watch this: DJ Jubilee's "Back That (Ass) Thang Up."
-
Dirty Sexy Money
TV Buzz Described as a cross between Dynasty and Six Feet Under, with yummy Peter Krause. Upfronts for the fall TV seasons start in ten days and this show's favored to pick up a slot. Look for the pilot to air in early June.
-
Intimate Game Controllers
Tech Buzz A platform where game controllers are built into undergarments will debut at NYU's ITP spring 2007 show. It's all fun and games until someone bruises a testicle.
-
Conservative YouTube
Tech Buzz Qube TV bills itself as the leading conservative social media site. Your No. 1 source for clips of Ann Coulter on "The O'Reilly Factor"! It joins the ConservaWeb 2.0 along with Conservapedia.
-
Isla Fisher
Movie Buzz The blogs won't stop talking about her upcoming movies. Apparently, Christopher Hitchens doesn't think it's possible for a girl to be hot and funny, but we think Isla counts. She graduates from her previous ditzy supporting roles into the spotlight in her new movie, The Cookie Queen.
-
Mint Juleps
Food Buzz Tomorrow's the Kentucky Derby. Here's how to make the only thing you should be drinking. The mint julep's been the official drink of Churchill Downs since 1938. A variation if you can't stand bourbon: The Kremlin Colonel, made with vodka.
-
Sea Monsters
Science Buzz A roundup of some weird-looking species that are being discovered in the sea, like the adorable Grimpoteuthis. No, you can't cuddle with them, but all the cool pictures and video footage has us embracing sea life today. Maybe we'll cancel that sushi lunch after all.
-
Stop Baroody
Political Buzz President Bush has nominated Michael Baroody (one of Corporate America's anti-consumer henchmen) to head the Consumer Products Safety Commission. It's the movement that's sweeping the nation! Actually, not really. But if you happen to be a consumer, and you happen to drink water (he fought to allow a higher level of arsenic in drinking water), you might want to do something about this.
-
NBA Underdogs
Sports Buzz The bottom-ranked Golden State Warriors beat the top-seed Dallas Mavericks by 25 points for the biggest upset in NBA playoffs history. It's the first time in a best-of-seven series that the No. 8 seed has beaten the No. 1.
We help you find things that are on the rise and worth your time.
