Frank Zappa's Anti-Drug PSAs Warn Kids About Being Like "Suzy Speedfreak"

Many people think Frank Zappa did all kinds of drugs during his lifetime, thinking he took drugs like lsd, pot and cocaine while creating the masterfully freaky music that would become his legacy.

But Frank was actually anti-drug, and neither took drugs nor allowed drug users in his bands, which is why these anti-drug PSAs were a labor of love rather than a court ordered punishment.

Is your mind blown yet? Then check out this interview with Frank Zappa where the father of the "roughest and farthest out group on the scene today, the Mothers Of Invention" talks about why he hates drugs.

Rose Gelato, Paris

If you're gonna go around taking pictures of everything you eat so you can post the pics to social media sites you should take a note from Melissa Hie and use those pics as an excuse to travel around the world.

Hello Kitty Donut, Tokyo

Melissa posts pics of the delicious street food she discovers during her travels on her Girl Eat World Instragram account, where you can see everything from the amazing looking Hello Kitty donut from Japan to this plain but delicious puff she purchased in Myanmar.

Puff, Myanmar

As you can tell the food isn't the only reason people are oohing and aahing over Melissa's pics, and her drop dead delicious images should serve as an example of how to do social media food pics the right way.

GPS Trackers Show How Far Pet Cats Actually Travel While Outside

(Image Link)

Cat owners who let their furry family members go outside know cats like to roam about and survey their section of the kingdom, patrolling the area so their humans aren't suddenly invaded by an army of mice.

But the distance they travel remains a bit of a mystery, since we usually can't see every bit of where our cats go while they're outside.

People have tried attaching cameras to their collars to see where they go, but this doesn't give us a very good idea of the total distance traveled.

So Australia's Central Tablelands Local Land Service came up with the brilliant idea to log how far a cat actually travels using a GPS tracker, so cat owners can see how much their cat actually gets around.

Cats are considered an invasive species in Australia, and yet owners claim their cats always stay close to home, so the Land Service hopes these GPS maps will open their eyes to just how much their cats get around.

Insider Secrets About Dollar Stores Shared By A Store Manager

Dollar stores crept up slowly alongside grocery and department stores and started stealing all their business away a buck at a time, changing our mind about what goods should cost.

Those other often overpriced stores didn't pay the dollar stores any mind until they realized they'd have to price match on certain items, and we've been paying less for the stuff we need ever since.

(Image Link)

But what's the best deal at the dollar store?

According to Brandon, manager of a Dollar General store, greeting cards and laundry products are the best deal, and laundry soap is also one of the most shoplifted items in his store.

Brandon says managers get paid pretty well to work at Dollar General (about 34-40k to start), but if they ever lose their keys they are fired on the spot. Harsh!

Instagram's Rich Russian Kids Take Decadence To A Whole New Level Of Dumb

(Instagram Link)

There are two things you can almost always say for sure about Russia's rich kids- they're self-centered and they like to brag about their super wealthy way of life.

(Image Link)

And even though we don't expect more from rich kids they still somehow manage to amaze us with how rich they really are, we're talking park your luxury car so you can let your pet racoon out to go potty rich.

(Instagram Link)

They also love to rub our noses in the fact that their dogs live better than many people, and have the expensive drinking habit to go with their decadent doggy lifestyle.

(Instagram Link)

Do they have doggie rehab centers in Russia? 'Cause if they don't they should probably start building them now...

Stephen Colbert And Steve Carell Discuss Drinking Responsibly

TV shows like to teach us about responsibility, and adult TV shows like The Daily Show teach us about adult stuff like drinking responsibly during Spring Break.

Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell are both responsible fellows, so they were selected as the spokesmen for moderation in this 2001 clip from The Daily Show.

(YouTube Link)

Colbert and Carell are both saucy fellows even when they're not hitting the sauce, but after about eight cocktails it was hard for Carell to contain his sauciness, let alone serve as the spokesman for responsible drinking. He looks like he'd be a really fun drinking buddy though!

Guy Fieri Eats The Pain Away To Johnny Cash's "Hurt"

Everybody deals with their problems in a different way, and even though we've all been warned against using a crutch to help us cope there are certain vices in life that can become part of who we are.

Stoners keep it stoney, drinkers pound shots to dull the pain, and foodies like Guy Fieri stuff their sad little goateed faces, sometimes while listening to Johnny Cash's somehow even sadder rendition of "Hurt". (Barely NSFW due to language)

(YouTube Link)

So Guy is swallowing all of his pain, choking it down like a chili dog of discontentment...explains a lot about his look, actually.

What We Wish We Could Say During An Argument

For some reason the argumentative people in the world love to ask us what we think of certain things, like movies, TV shows or music, then berate us about our lack of taste when we don't agree with them.

Oh yeah, that's because they like to argue about really stupid stuff, like movies and TV shows...

Haters are gonna keep on hatin', but now thanks to this comic by Julia Lepetit from Dorkly you can flip the script when they start in on you for *gasp* actually having your own opinion about pop culture!

Artist Creates Killer Zombie Stationery For Horror Movie Fans

If you know any horror movie fanatics, or you are one yourself, then you know that die-hard horror fans like to surround themselves with scary stuff, to make them feel more comfortable in polite society.

But horror heads who work in an office are forced to hide their morbid interests while at work, so as not to scare the suits, and therefore must find sly and creative ways to frighten the place up.

So creative director Jacques Pense created a subtle yet utterly horrifying way to bring horror to the offices of 13th Street Television- bloody zombie stationery.

This clever stationery set features zombie details placed in the perfect position to be stabbed through the face by a 3-ring binder, stapled in the eyes, or simply torn apart when you open a letter.

Playboy Mansion Sold To The Owner Of Twinkies

(Image Link)

It appears snack food fueled bods are the new standard for sexiness in the 21st century, as the swanky old smokin', drinkin' and carousin' set gives way to those who feed our appetites for sugary sweets.

What does all this really mean?

It means Playboy Enterprises, the standard for old school swank, can no longer afford the symbol of their empire, the Playboy Mansion, so Hugh Hefner is selling it to the co-owner of Hostess Brands Daren Metropoulos.

The sale is predicted to set records for most expensive Los Angeles residential sale ever, as it's expected to cost close to $200 million, but the sale comes with one stipulation- 90-year-old Hugh Hefner gets to live in the mansion for the rest of his life.

The Real Reason Why Some Dogs Sniff Butts At The Dog Park

Not all dogs dream of working in law enforcement, but those who do often catch their criminally unambitious brethren completely by surprise, which is why dealers use drug mules instead of drug dogs.

Drug dogs are those good dogs who use their super keen smellers to sniff out crime, and as this comic from Deathbulge shows they can smell a sack of sticky icky a mile away...even if it's keistered.


Man's Infinity Gauntlet Oven Mitt Is Melted By Pizza Rolls, Internet Only Cares About Pizza Rolls

One of the unfortunate side effects of geek mania is the never-ending stream of crappy licensed products that flow through the stores like pop culture sewage.

This cheaply made crud often passes the in-store visual test only to fall apart when you get it home, literally making it an overpriced piece of trash.

One poor fella named Nick Borelli was left feeling burned when he discovered the awesome looking Infinity Gauntlet oven mitt he bought from Loot Crate melted while pulling a tray of pizza rolls out of the oven.

No wonder Thanos wants to destroy the Earth!

Nick took to Twitter to warn those who possess the Infinity Gauntlet oven mitt against using it for its intended purpose, but as expected the interwebs was more concerned about Nick's pizza rolls than his hands.

Reporter Screams While Going Down Slide

Everyone feels a different level of joy while slipping down a slide, typically ranging from blah to bliss, but some people outrightly hate slides, possibly because they got stuck in one when they were kids.

Judging by the reporter's reaction as she slides down in this video she has either never been on a slide in her life and is totally terrified or she's having the time of her life and expresses joy by screaming bloody murder.

(YouTube Link)

Maybe she sees something at the bottom of the slide we can't see?

Kid Destroys LEGO Sculpture An Hour After Exhibit Opens

Kids can be mighty crafty, which is why you should always keep an eye on your offspring when visiting a place full of breakable and/or valuable stuff, or else you might get stuck paying the bill.

But sometimes kids don't understand why destroying something, such as a LEGO sculpture, is wrong, because they just see that giant statue made of building blocks as a deconstruction challenge.

It took LEGO artist Zhao three solid days (at a cost of around $15k) to build his amazing looking sculpture of Nick from Zootopia, and it was only on display at the LEGO Expo in Ningbo, China for an hour before a kid knocked it down.

Zhao declined compensation from the kid's parents because he feels the kid didn't do it on purpose, but if a rival LEGO artist suddenly sells a statue of Nick from Zootopia we'll know exactly what that little destroyer was up to...
