Movie Trailer of the Day

From the creators of Ice Age and Rio, 3D CGI flick Epic is the tale of "an ongoing battle [that takes place] deep in the forest between the forces of good and the forces of evil. When a teenage girl finds herself magically transported into this secret universe, she must band together with a rag-tag team of fun and whimsical characters in order to save their world… and ours."

Starring the voices of Beyonce Knowles, Colin Farrell, Amanda Seyfried, and Josh Hutcherson (and featuring a talking slug!), Epic is due in theaters May 24.

Say What Now of the Day

 - Say What Now of the Day


Less than a week after Dan Savage tweeted "The GOP's house fa**ots grab their ankles, right on cue. Pathetic," in reaction to GOProud's endorsement of Mitt Romney, the controversial and outspoken founder of the It Gets Better movement has doubled down, comparing the endorsement to substance abuse:

Mixing it up with GOProud last week got me thinking about why a gay man would endorse — much less "commit significant resources" to help elect — a man who has pledged, if elected, to do as much harm as he possibly can to gay people. I mean, what kind of fa**ot supports a politician who would do him harm?

Oh, right: the same kind of fa**ot who would harm himself with drugs or alcohol or sex. The kind of gay men who don't like themselves or other gay people much. But while most self-loathing, self-destructive gay men are content to abuse booze, drugs, or d*ck, the self-hating GOProud boys abuse themselves with politics. And just like gay meth addicts who aren't satisfied harming only themselves, the boys at GOProud aren't satisfied harming only themselves. They want to harm other gay people — they want to harm all gay people — by getting Mitt Romney elected. And just like your meth-addicted friend who pushed the drug on you, or your drunk friend who mocked you for stopping at four, or your sexually out-of-control friend who insisted that you were a prude if you didn't play… with him down at the bathhouse, the GOProud boys want you to abuse yourself the same way that they're abusing themselves. They want you to vote for Mitt Romney for the same reason your meth-addicted pal wanted you to use that stupid drug.

Because they're damaged.

Too far?

Redditor LMAOItsMatt "spotted this in a parking lot at the movie theaters."

No way that zombie limbs paired with an Obama head tow-hitch are an accident.

Childbirth MRI of the Day

Posted: 26 Jun 2012 08:35 AM PDT


Heads up — grainy childbirth video is vaguely graphic.

In 2010, scientists captured the first MRI of a woman giving birth, but only still images were available. Now researchers have released the video version:

The video captures the active second stage of labor as the mother expels the fetus. The technique, called cinematic MRI, takes repeated images of the same slice of the body before joining them up to create an ultra-detailed video.

The video MRI is intended to help doctors manage complications during labor and delivery.
