Kia Introduces Space Babies and ‘Babylandia’ in Their Super Bowl 2013 Commercial
We wish our parents had been as imaginative as this guy when we were growing up. When we asked where babies come from, we were usually answered with a suspicious look, or, if we were really lucky, an admonishment to eat all of our dinner.

10 Crazy Kickstarters to Waste Your Money On

Watch the Most Impressive Real Life Mario Kart We’ve Ever Seen
Well, color us impressed. Usually when we want to play Mario Kart, we spend thirty minutes looking for the Wii steering wheel, then just give up and re-watch the second season of 'Game of Thrones.' So, good for these guys! They've got enough initiative to make up for the rest of us

The Best Manti Te’o Jokes on Twitter
Have you been on Twitter lately? It's really just a repository for Manti Te'o jokes. Ever since it was revealed yesterday that Te'o's story about his perfect girlfriend dying of cancer was a big fat sham (for the full story, this is a good source), the only purpose anybody has to go on Twitter right now is to make jokes about it.

Will Ferrell and Ryan Gosling Are the Best Knife Salesmen Ever
Jimmy Kimmel doesn't need help making his show funny. But at least when he gets a little outside assistance, it's from Will Ferrell and Ryan Gosling. That's pretty much the best way to do that. Will Ferrell for the laughs, and Ryan Gosling for making women

Psy Selling Nuts in Super Bowl 2013 Commercial
2013 looks to be a good year for Super Bowl commercials, assuming you like topless women, Doritos or 'Gangnam Style.' And if you don't like any of those things, are you sure you're actually human and not a goldfish that learned how to use a computer?

James Franco’s Justin Bieber Tribute Video Is Weird Even For James Franco
You can't really be too surprised by this -- it is James Franco we're talking about here. Of course he made a full-length video for Justin Bieber's 'Boyfriend.'What else is he going to do, get another PhD?

SodaStream Bringing Banned Commercial to Super Bowl 2013
Getting banned in the UK for "denigrating" bottled drinks won't stop SodaStream from bringing their message to the biggest advertising opportunity in the world -- Super Bowl 2013. The advertisement shows people carbonating water with a SodaStream and making the bottles the beverages are contained in instantly disappear. Apparently other soda manufacturers were upset and the ad was pulled from British television.

Competitive Eater Tackles Denny’s Hobbit Menu in 20 Minutes
We're seriously rethinking our hobbies. James "The Bear" McDonald is seen here plowing his way through the entirety of Denny's special "Hobbit" menu, because he's a competitive eater and that's what he does. We, on the other hand, have a drawer full of half-finished socks.

Young Cancer Patient Has Heartwarming Meeting With His Wrestling Hero
Professional wrestlers may seem like tough guys, but underneath their shiny spandex outfits and long, flowing hair (clearly a sign of ultimate masculinity), they have hearts of gold. Daniel Bryan, for example, recently met with a seven-year-old boy who has had brain cancer for almost four years, and says he's Bryan's biggest fan. It's okay if you need to go grab some Kleenex before you look at the pictures.
