Who doesn't need a good pair of Sauna pants? How about hair-colored spray paint? It's amazing what kind of absolute junk that has been sold on late night television in the past. Sure, there are some great products sold on televsion, but when it comes to the bad, it's hard to get much worse than the stuff on this list. But then, I'm sure someone had to think these items were good ideas or they wouldn't have been created in the first place.
There are some people in the world that have a gift for spreading happiness. Candace Payne is just sitting in her car, talking about a purchase she just made. The purchase will make you laugh, but Candace will make you laugh even more.
She streamed this slice on life on Facebook live yesterday, and it has 25 million views already! Mark my words, she'll be on The Ellen Degeneres Show next week. -via reddit
Oh, by the way, if you want to make the same purchase, it's available online.
Sometimes TV shows are intentionally tasteless and scandalous, but sometimes semi-innocent shows still end up having truly shocking episodes here and there. Zimbio rounded up some of the most controversial episides of all time. It shouldn't be surprising that Married With Children and Game of Thrones show up on the list, but Seinfeld and Downton Abbey also have a place there.
JBreezyBaby fulfilled a lifelong dream by attending the 2015 Star Wars Celebration and paying to have photos taken the the Star Wars actors. He says he spent his entire tax refund doing it. But these aren’t just fan pictures. He’s re-enacting scenes from the movies! He posted a story for each actor in the gallery at imgur.
Anthony Daniels is the man! The most friendly and gracious actor I had my photo with. He was totally on my level...
Anthony : That's a great shirt
James' brain : oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god!!!
James' mouth : Mr. Daniells it's a pleasure to meet you. For this picture can I be your counterpart?
Anthony : excuse me?
James' brain : f***, you're blowing it
James' mouth : can I be R2D2 and you C-3P0?
Anthony : nobody has ever asked that before, why not!
As I knelt down I wanted to ask him to put his hand on my head in the classic droids pose, but I got too nervous. But then he just did it! No prompting. We shared a laugh about it after, and we'll share a dream about it forever.
The picture with Carrie Fisher and her dog Gary is the best one of all. You have to read the story behind it. And what did JBreezyBaby do with all these photos? He framed them all to display in an honored spot of his home.
See his photos with Mark Hamill, Billy Dee Williams, John Ratzenberger, and Ian McDiarmid as well at imgur. -via reddit
The sand glows brown on the desert tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
An empire of isolation,
And it looks like I'm the queen.

There's nothing like watching an automaton put on a simple mechanical show for you, and even kids who stare at screens all day long get a kick out of watching automatons move.
One particular group of makers who call themselves the Cabaret Mechanical Theatre like to build ridiculous yet marvelous crank operated machines which they then film in action and share on the interwebs.
The Cabaret Mechanical Theatre's minimalist machines both fascinate and inspire, showing future makers how simple it is to build an analog device that moves in perfectly pleasant ways.

Sometimes we like GIFs because they send a short but sweet message, other times we dig them because they feature a scene from our favorite movie or a funny moment that fits nicely in a three to five second clip.
But GIFs that horrify rather than amuse are much more visually effective, and they can say things in silent motion that no still image could ever manage.
Set one of these suckers in motion on a coworker's computer screen and watch them squirm and schedule a meeting with HR, or stare at one when you're feeling down to remind yourself how human you really are.
Fathers and daughters can have a nightmarish relationship, butting heads about things like boys, makeup and appropriate school attire.
But if they're lucky they can find something fun to do together, an activity that brings them closer together and makes their family life a dream come true.
For photographer Joshua Hoffine that fun activity is also the stuff of nightmares, because he uses his daughters as models in horrifying photo shoots best described as darker than midnight.
Joshua's photos often depict a bad dream come to life, but the girls don't get scared by the terrifying scenes their daddy comes up with, because they see the whole thing as "a giant game of dress-up".
Those little girls are brave to play along with such a demented daddy!

Celebs who choose to keep their lives adventurous rather than playing it safe and insurable are a daring bunch who are often willing to risk their lives for the welfare of others.
After playing Andrea on The Walking Dead, Laurie Holden decided she wanted to make a real difference in the world, so she went undercover to help free Colombian sex slaves.
Pictured above in her "disguise", Laurie joined Operation Underground Railroad and put her acting skills to work while busting up a sex slavery ring in Cartagena, helping save 55 girls.
She was chosen for the Operation because she'd already worked her magic in Cambodia and Vietnam, proving that Andrea's life was boring compared to Laurie's, even with all the zombies lurking about.
Elizabeth Taylor was known for playing characters who made an emotional impact on the audience, but Liz made an even bigger impact on the world by being part of an AIDS drug smuggling ring.
Before she started the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation she helped combat the AIDS epidemic directly by running an illegal AIDS drug ring out of her mansion in Bel Air.
Liz supplied the infected with an experimental HIV drug and let them use her home as a safe haven, despite the fact her work had begun to alienate her in Hollywood as celebs refused to get on board.
To date, the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation has raised over $270 million to fight the syndrome, and now it's really hard to imagine a world where battling AIDS was a shunnable offense in Hollywood.

Cosplay photographer David Ngo snapped this picture of a great R2-D2 cosplayer at C2E2--the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo. Far from being limited to wheels, R2 is now ready to perform an invigorating can-can dance.
As a general rule adding music to just about any activity will make it better- taking a cold shower, eating leftovers for dinner, starting a riot, even watching a weather report is more enjoyable when you add music.
So it follows that normally mundane videos would become maximum entertainment when you add the right soundtrack.
Watching these videos with newly overdubbed music added makes me wonder how people could stand to watch such bland videos before the addition of the perfect soundtrack score.
They've also made me wonder why we don't see more auctioneers becoming rappers, because they've got mad flows. yo.

You've probably seen those staged quidditch shots posted to social media, where people jump in the air just before the picture is taken so they look like they're flying on a broomstick.
This trick is fine for a snapshot, but the only real way to play Quidditch is to master the magical arts and learn to soar through the sky on a broomstick like a wizarding wren.
But as you can see in this video you can get pretty close to playing some real deal Quidditch while skydiving.
The skydivers in the video are employees from the Colombian phone company ETB, who got to live out their Harry Potter lovin' dreams on the company's dime. Hope they have insurance!

Hundreds, if not millions, of valiant adventurers head out each year to rescue princesses from dragons and other fiendish beasts, and yet very few return with the princess in tow.
Why do these well-trained warriors keep coming up short? Is it their lack of magical equipment? Are their Strength and Dexterity attributes too low?
This strip by Pedro Arizpe of Port Sherry Comics shows how hard it is to rescue a princess when you're not her "type", and also teaches us another important lesson- some princesses don't like it when you slay their dragon pals.

Mario Kart is one of the most beloved video game franchises of all time, and when people start karting at a party it's a sure bet everyone in attendance will want a turn.
And yet somehow Conan O'Brien, aka the Clueless Gamer, had never played the game until he sat down to play Mario Kart 8 with Seth Rogen and Zac Efron in honor of their new movie Neighbors 2. (contains NSFW content)
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Conan also hits the vape and gets a wang drawn on his face every time he loses a race, to keep the whole thing appropriately frat themed.
Good thing Standards and Practices made a chart showing the safe way to draw a wang for TV, so as not to scare the children.
