This Week in Pop Culture: Florence Henderson’s Crabs Edition

Monday, June 27th, 2011

10. Trent Reznor‘s TV miniseries based on NIN’s 2007 concept album has finally been picked up by HBO, and Jim Uhls (who wrote the screenplay for Fight Club) will script it.

9. Forced memes are usually eyeroll worthy, but this one is kind of funny: Click here to watch YiaYia from the old country disapprove anything you want.

8. Google ranked the top 18 most visited websites, and their findings might surprise you: Twitter only ranked #17, Ask.com was higher up on the list at #12, followed by a bunch of Asia-based websites– but don’t worry, Facebook is still miles ahead of everybody at #1.

7. “‘Brady Bunch’ mom Florence Henderson admits ex-mayor John Lindsay gave her crabs in a one night stand,” says the Daily News. Did that process?

6. This week’s New York City Public Transit horror story features a woman who really doesn’t want to turn her music off. If it’s not a boom box, then what’s the problem, right?

5. Check out a non-photoshopped picture of The Rock having too much fun on Splash Mountain here.

4. As the apocalypse nears, Katy Perry is about two weeks away from tying Michael Jackson’s Billboard record of having five number one hits from the same album on the charts at the same time. Help.

3. If your father was a Deadhead, and you’re a female who went to an Ivy League school, then you probably listen to Dave Matthews. Who says? This flow chart does.

2. Why is nobody flipping a shit about this? A wildfire in New Mexico is less than one mile away from exploding a nuclear bomb lab. A spokesman from the Sante Fe National Forest called it ” a very very big concern.” This proves my point that 2012 is nothing but a self-fulfilling prophesy. We’ve all resigned to the fact that everybody is going to die.

1. America’s cheapest town is Harlingen, Texas. In Harlingen, bread still costs $0.90, you can harvest grapefruits and aloe in their soil but that’s about it, and their slogan is “Dutch name, Texan Heart.” Charming all over.  -Christina Drill
