Twitter’s Bird Logo Was Inspired By A Middle Finger

When Twitter rebranded its old fat whale of a bird logo into the svelte upward jumping bird logo it is now, it went through a lot of early concepts to get the angle of the bird jusssst right.

Sure, Osama bin Laden was finally taken down under President Obama’s watch. But that doesn’t mean former President George W. Bush didn’t have his own accomplishments to celebrate this week, too! And honestly, anything that gets Will Ferrell back doing his Bush impersonation is all right by me.


This Week’s Top Web Comedy Video: Girls Watch Porn, Too

Consider it a public service announcement: while it may seem like pornography is entirely for men, women watch it too! At least, they do if this video is entirely sincere and in no way whatsoever intended to be ironic or facetious or anything that dispels the fine notion that ladies are every bit as into adult material as you are.
