Norway Has Another A-ha Moment!

Previously, we thought the coolest thing to come out of Norway would be the threesome that sang “Take On Me” in the ’80s. But that was before we heard the Scandinavian country’s entry in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest (it’s sorta like American Idol, only a million times bigger and with a greater variety of accents).

Not only is the duo of “A Monster Like Me” music to our ears, its video is as gorgeous as it is wicked. Savor it!

 

Fun With Bigots!

We’re sure that Indiana is just chock full of wonderful people. Unfortunately, they’re being overshadowed these days by some of the politicians who’d love nothing more than to see the state legalize discrimination. In discussing a new law scheduled to be implemented this July, representative Ed DeLaney told a group of protesters  it “does not openly allow discrimination, no, but what it does is create a road map, a path to discrimination.”

Even as it became clear that the new law threatened to not only embarrass state officials but have an economic impact thanks to companies taking their business elsewhere, the Internet Action Force uploaded a video proving that sometimes, the best approach is to fight fire with funny. Perhaps Indiana’s board of tourism should consider adapting this approach! If you can’t fight ’em, welcome ’em!

 

 

 

General Hospital Like You’ve Never Seen It

GHNow

It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes a whole lot of really talented folks to make a soap opera. But if you’ve ever wanted to go behind the scenes, then we’ve got a real treat for you today. The folks at ABC’s GENERAL HOSPITAL have put together a laugh-filled series called GH NOW in which Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis) and a plethora of actors from the show shares secrets and laughs with viewers. Watch the first episode — in which Grahn gets more than her share of lovin’ from a few co-stars — and you’re sure to be hooked. The episodes can be found on ABC.com, and all six are currently available for binge viewing. Or you can click here to watch the first episode!

Wrestling Like You’ve Never Seen It Before

Let’s face it: Sometimes, you want to just kick back and enjoy something brainless. And when it comes to entertainment, wrestling is probably about as brainless as it comes. We’re talking WWE Smackdown and Raw, which bills itself as “professional wrestling” in a way that makes you wonder if perhaps they don’t know what either word truly means… and is ridiculously fun.

Here, Max Landis — who wrote the fantastic flick Chronicle — does a nice job of explaining, in comedic fashion and with cameos from actors like Seth Green and David Arquette, the world of wrestling. He follows the rise of Triple H, the arrival of John Cena and, in our favorite segment, a dude known as The Undertaker.

“The undertaker is a wizard,” explains Landis, “a satanic magician, and no, I don’t know why he’s a wrestler.”

In the end, Landis explains why the fact that wrestling isn’t real doesn’t matter… and you’ll no doubt agree.

Warning: As one might expect, there’s a fair amount of bad language involved!

 

This Ain’t Your Grandma’s Mary Poppins!

We live in a world where pretty much anything and everything more than 10 years old gets remade. And while nobody has actually decided to remake the beloved children’s movie Mary Poppins, this makes it sort of easy to imagine how easily the flick could be taken in a different direction for a whole new generation of viewers!
