Just look at the video above and tell me you’re not ready to attract some quality women over Easter Break. As for the women out there, just stay away from this dude and I think you’ll be fine. In the meantime, linksss:

  • It looks like men shouldn’t have babies as they get older, according to the New York Times. What happened to this being a man’s world?
  • No offense meant to devout believers out there, but this sex advice is so gloriously funny in its basic missteps. Make sure to stick around until the end. NSFW language.
  • This is how they sell bananas in Japan. It is not like they do it here.
  • Quentin Tarantino’s new movie, “Inglourious Basterds,” comes out this summer. Vanity Fair got some neat pictures of the cast, including super-hunky Brad Pitt.
  • Burger King pairs “I Like Big Butts” with Spongebob Squarepants. Hilarity ensues.

Hit the jump for the insane ending to this week’s episode of ‘The Hills’ and some intense cereal consumption.

  • A neat photo essay of Obama’s Secret Service detail, just in time for the inauguration.
  • Did you ever wonder what life is like for a Minotaur who runs a China shop? Wonder no more, because now you can do it. Or just wreck the entire store, it’s your call.
  • The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks makes for some good grammar humor.

Hit the jump for a video bonanza featuring a lethal frisbee and Rod Blagojevich’s cojones.
