“Own who you are: the good, the bad, the ugly, the different. Nobody’s perfect. Gay, in my opinion, is beautiful. Love is beautiful. And we should celebrate it all. My husband and I don’t care about who’s bonking who. We care about kindness.”

The best April Fools’ pranks are absurd but also have a kernel of believability at their core just big enough to reel people in.
While the notion that YouTube has been a 8-year-long contest and Google is finally choosing a winner and shutting the site down tonight is pretty hard to swallow on its face, Google did shock many people by announcing the shutdown of Google Reader recently. Perhaps Larry and Sergey are beginning to go all Howard Hughes on us?
That’s how the below video just put out by YouTube operates. The basic premise is that YouTube has been nothing but a contest to find the best video, and the 8-year-long submission period is finally closing tonight.
As YouTube’s “competition director” Tim Liston — a person who appears to be as fictional as his title — tells us, YouTube will go dark for a decade to give thousands of judges 10 years to go through all the uploaded videos and declare one winner, which will be the only video on the site when YouTube relaunches in 2023.
What’s even more hilarious in the video than the basic gag behind it is some great cameos by YouTube celebrities like Matt Harding, iJustine, the (now much older) kids from “Charlie Bit My Finger” and that “Evolution of Dance”… [Read more]

I don’t wear sunglasses, but I would if they came mint on action figure cards like these G.I. Joe sunglasses. All fashion accessories should come on geeky cards like this. They would sell a lot more of them, I’m certain.
These super limited-edition G.I. Joe sunglasses from LOOK/SEE are awesome. Hmmm, to take them off the card and wear them or leave them mint? Tough decision. These action figure inspired glasses come in several versions, from Cobra Commander to Snake Eyes.
Hardcore Joe fans will want to buy some of these before they are gone. They cost $110(USD) a pair. Only 100 units of each design will be made. Each pair comes in a limited-edition blister package based on the original action figure toy packaging.

After a recent feud with Frank Ocean, Chris Brown has found his next target. In a remix to Young Jeezy’s “R.I.P.,” Brown turns his sights to Drake, taking his spat with the rapper a step further.
In the remix Brown raps, “Dearly departed, I bought a plane I departed / And if you started from the bottom, go on and come out the closet.” With Drake’s recent hit titled “Started from the Bottom,” Brown is likely taking aim at Drizzy.
The tension between Brown and Drake begin last summer when the pair reportedly got in a bar fight in Manhattan over Brown’s on-again, off-again girlfriend, Rihanna.
