We’ve seen Aziz Ansari remix Jay-Z and Kanye in emoji and now here’s Run DMC’s festive Christmas in Hollis done up with funny faces and random characters too! What’s better, it’s an actual video! The song syncs with the moving stream of emoji messages on the iPhone. So good. More »
This morning I watched a video compilation of botflies being pulled out of bleeding human flesh. Compared to this “Windows Phone 7 Fangirls Video”, the botfly footage is like butter and candy. This internet deserves destruction. Now. More »

OK, I think we’ve gotten to the point where those Taiwanese news CGI recreations have officially gotten out of control. Don’t believe me? Maybe this Barack Obama-Hu Jintao rap battle will convince you. More »

If the fantastic Large Hadron Collider rap was too esoteric for your tastes, Oort Kuiper’s Astrobiology rap, commissioned by a European astronomy magazine, probably won’t find its way onto your prestigious and exclusive “muzic 4 drivin’ ‘n’ shit” playlist.

Only Wu-Tang’s Method Man couldn’t find a way to bring the pain—we expect a new single, “F-A-N-B-O-Y Man”, any day now.
