Are you bummed that Christmas is over, and now you gotta worry about what you're going to wear to a New Year's Eve party, what your resolutions are, and how the number nine isn't as fun to write as the number eight? (I know — life is hard.) Well, let me drag the Christmas season out a little further for you. I found this hilarious public access performance by a mother/daughter duo who seems positively thrilled to be performing. (I'd check the daughter's pulse if I were the producer — I'm not sure she's still with us.) You often see people in SNL skits and Will Ferrell movies pretending to be awkward, bad performers. Well, here's the real deal, and it is so beyond bad, it leaps over to greatness.

Hahaha. Freaking Creed. (Just try your own Google search; this is really what comes up!) I agree on a conscious level, but on an unconscious one, when the bombastic "My Sacrifice" comes on the radio (which I secretly love!), I always have to listen to it. That is, unless whoever's with me says they'll jump out of the car if I leave it on. Then, you know, I change the station. (True story.)

Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin was voted Russia's third most popular historical figure in a nationwide poll that ended this weekend. Stalin's notable superlative comes despite the famine and purges (which included sending people to labor camps and millions of deaths) that marked his dictatorship.

The "Name of Russia" contest was run by the Rossiya state television channel for about six months and closed Sunday night with a final vote from the Internet or cell phones. It drew more than 50 million votes out of the nation's 143 million citizens.

Stalin was General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's Central Committee from 1922 until his death in 1953. Millions of Soviets died from famine during forced collectivization, were executed as "enemies of the people" or died in hard labor camps during his rule.

Gay Bob here probably did no favors for gay folks when he was released. (My guess is this was from the '70s or early '80s.) First of all, from a marketing perspective, why would "everyone" want a gay doll? I can't even think of too many gay people who would want one. And then lets get to Gay Bob's appearance, which, I guess, distinguishes him as gay. Dishevelled, with too much eyeliner, fake tanner, and wearing an orange man purse murse with a rumpled, clashing plaid shirt and ill-fitting pants — Gay Bob doesn't even fit the stereotype of gay man = well dressed. Supposedly, he was also to help people "come out of the closet." Hell, no one even wants him to come out of the box! Epic fail.
