Robert Downey, Jr. Makes Kid Cry by Not Actually Being Iron Man

Dog’s Anus Looks Like Man Perceived as Savior to Billions of People on Earth
We're used to Jesus showing up in a cornflake, or a water stain. Maybe a piece of toast. Not so much a dog's butthole. But there he is, assuming he was real and looked the way he's been painted by a bunch of European artists. Right in a dog's backside...
Funny Texts From Dads for Father’s Day

LEGO Makes Awesome ‘Star Wars’ Father’s Day Video
Thanks, LEGO! This is way better than a lame-o Father's Day greeting card. Just email this video to your dad and call it done. Maybe buy him a big piece of meat or something. The end. So much easier than Mother's Day. Happy Father's Day!!
The Internet Reacts to Sony’s PS4 Announcement
Yesterday, Sony revealed their new gaming system the PS4. Considering how up in arms everybody was over the XBox One, it's no surprise that people were more than willing to hop onboard the PS4 bandwagon.

13 Unfortunately Placed Price Tags
Having done our fair share of time in retail, we're willing to bet these price tag placements were all intentional -- probably done by some poor soul about 10 days away from quitting their job. Doesn't make them not funny.
Texas Teen Comes Out in Graduation Speech
Rather than referencing 'My Little Pony' or 'Twilight,' one Texas student decided to use his chance to speak at his high school graduation to come out as gay. *Then* Mitch Anderson started making references -- to Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Zachary Quinto's eyebrows, the chorus of a Nicki Minaj song, etc.
12 Pairs of Animal Best Friends
We don't know what the weather's like where you are, but it is a chilly, grey, rainy Monday here, so we need this. In fact, even if it's totally gorgeous where you are, these pictures and GIFs of animal best buds is probably worth a look. First of all, they're really cute. Secondly, they'll probably cheer you up.

Comedian Nathan Fielder Gets Teens to Play STD Prank on Parents
Comedian Nathan Fielder is making good use of his power on Twitter. He's been coming up with a number of pranks for people to play on their parents/friends and having them send him the often-hilarious results. This time he told his legion of followers to text their parents asking if it's illegal not to tell somebody you gave them an STD and say they were asking for a friend. These are the results.
Make Your Own Cronuts!
Cronuts have taken over New York City (and the internet) in a big way. The hybrid croissant-doughnuts are only available at one bakery, and when they're gone madness ensues. People are scalping pastries, folks. There's a cronut black market on Craigslist, where you can have one delivered to you for $40. There are bootleg "doissants." It's insanity.
