What Do You Want to Do Before You Die?

DearSugar — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 07:00:00 -0700

I just came across this great website asking a very poignant question: What do you want to do before you die? The inspiration behind this project was sparked by "a passion to get people to think about (and act upon) what is really important in their lives through this simple, very straight-forward question." Nicole and ks, the co-curators, have collected numerous photographs asking each participant to fill in the blank “Before I die I want to . . .” on the white section of their Polaroid pic, and they plan to keep in touch in order to see if participants have accomplished their goals. I absolutely love this concept, so let me throw out the same question to all of you: What do you want to do before you die?

Twilight Cycles from Brandon Routh

Is your monthly cycle getting between you and your vampire lover? Sounds like you need Vampax - new tampon technology that promises to keep you safe while you run around the forest with your brooding bloodsucking boyfriend. Learn all about it in this Twilight parody from the people at Funny or Die. It's disgustingly funny.

Addicted to A&E's Intervention? You're Not Alone

TresSugar — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 10:00:09 -0700

Exploitation. Voyeurism. Tears. There are all sorts of reasons to tune into A&E's Intervention. Maybe it's because it capitalizes on people at their lowest of lows that we cannot help but feel a twinge of guilt for tuning in again . . . and again. Its viewers are certainly a loyal bunch - some people (mostly them) would go as far as to say addicted.

Now Funny or Die has given the obsessive need to watch Intervention a name, a face, a parody. It's not the funniest thing I've seen, though I do love when his sister says, "It's the driving that worries me," as we see Saturday Night Live's Fred Armisen, the addicted, driving while watching. And it does star Elisabeth Moss, Fred's fiancee, better known as Peggy Olson on Mad Men!

Funny or Die Gets Caught Up in Gay-Marriage Storm

TresSugar — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:00:00 -0700

K, I thought this was getting old (what with this and this and, oh, that's it) and that Funny or Die's take on the gay-marriage storm was more deadly than funny. But then a Connecticut weatherman comes on and says "there's a cold front coming in and it's gay people," and gay people start falling from the sky, and I laughed. OK, I laughed. But, really, Internet, this is it; the storm is over.

Product of the Day: I Hate Myself and I Want to Die Hoodie

GiggleSugar — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 04:02:00 -0800

Tell the world that you're Emo as hell and you're not going to take it anymore with this I Hate Myself and I Want to Die hoodie. For some reason, the hoodie only comes in red, but if you want a t-shirt, there are many colors to choose from when you telegraph to the world that you just don't care anymore! (Love the stars and rainbows, and hey--thanks for this bjornwinner!)

Mandy Moore Wants You to Energize Your Ladyparts

TresSugar — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:30:00 -0700

Douches and Red Bull often go together, but not like this. Mandy Moore totally nails the '70s lady-commercial voice and the fashions in this parody ad for Red Bull Douche, "the world's first feminine hygiene product with Red Bull." Admittedly, I've sometimes wished I could mainline energy drinks - just not down there. Be sure to watch until the tagline at the end.

Protect Insurance Companies PSA from Will Ferrell

Just when you thought it was impossible to make the country's debate about health care exciting, sexy Jon Hamm throws himself into the fray. The mad man is one of many celebrities starring in a new Funny of Die video that spoofs all the healthcare PSAs dominating the airwaves. Will Ferrell, Donald Faison, and Olivia Wilde join Jon in sarcastically asking "why is Obama trying to reform health care when insurance companies are doing just fine making billions of dollars in profit?" Check it out.

Cougars: The Manual

GiggleSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 14:00:00 -0700

Ugh, along with the acronym MILF, is there a worse word than "cougar" to describe an older (read: older than 30) woman who remains a sexual being? (I know, I know, cougar describes a woman on the prowl for younger dudes.) In spite of all that, I still think this video is hilarious. I love how, after they define cougar ("an older single woman who frequents clubs and bars looking for innocent young men she can have passionate hate sex with") that guy goes, "Yeah!" Passionate hate sex? Bring it!
