This little guy just got his cochlear implant turned on and reacts to hearing his mommy’s voice.
Apparently, American Apparel might as well start giving their clothes away because no one’s buying them (except for mustache loving twenty-somethings). With a record-breaking $17.6 million loss last quarter, this overzealous chain is facing loan default. By the end of June we could potentially be facing a world free of overpriced tube socks and racy awkward advertisements. Better stock up on your beloved V-necks and hoodies at these Valley locations.

Looking through a stack of newly developed photos is an awkward game of Where’s Waldo? these days. Every couple or group shot has one, random lurker… just chillin’ in the background. Even better when said creeper is looking “nonchalantly” into the glare of the camera flash or DIRECTLY at the subjects of the photo. (Double creeper stamp for the latter move). Get ready for America’s Awkward Hall of Fame.
In honor of Memorial Day Weekend, here’s a little music video entertainment.
