The Webbys Awarded "Actress of the Year" to a Man, But Who Cares About the Webbys?

by | May 3rd, 2012

The Webby Awards are pretty stupid. Not that giving out awards for achievement on the internet is an inherently bad idea, but when in order to be considered for a nomination you need to pay a "submission fee" costing hundreds of dollars, it's tough to consider them even remotely relevant. I mean, look at the nominees in categories about web videos; they all come from big companies, such as Funny or Die, CollegeHumor, Broadway Video and The Onion (or from corporations such as Microsoft and Chipotle). Those folks put out great stuff, sure, but did they really have no competition at all from amateur groups? But very few [...]

And your grandmother said shit like, "What is that robot doing flashing lights and cussing at me!?" And you explained to all of them, how it was based on a Twitter account that your friend from college, whom you don't really talk to anymore, likes to Retweet and they each understood you to varying degrees and [...]

Shit X Says: The State of a Meme at the End of Its Life (Hopefully)

by | January 27th, 2012

It all began on December 12, 2011.

That's when "Shit Girls Say" was uploaded to YouTube and nearly broke the Internet when it was picked up by Reddit, the Huffington Post, and pretty much every other website, too. A month and a half later, it's racked up over 12 million views. "Shit Girls Say" began as a Twitter account created by Kyle Humphrey and Graydon Sheppard, before they, along with some help from Juliette Lewis, put together the 79-second video that almost instantly "changed" the Internet, for better or worse (worse). Ever since, hundreds of parodies have popped up online, ranging from the inevitable "Shit Black Girls [...]
