This is a parody of Paper Planes by MIA. And a pretty good one, too.

British toddler coached through Hamlet’s soliloquy by a Shakespearean actor = adorable!

Ok fine, turn Strawberry Shortcake into a preteen with a bad wig. Make Megan Fox chase Transformers around. Put symbols on the Care Bears’ tummies that have no business being there. But when you start sexing up Rainbow Brite, you have gone too far.

Rainbow Brite, keeper of the colors of the rainbow, is now going to be released in updated form. So she’s going from this:

To this:

I loved Rainbow Brite as a kid–it was probably my favorite 1980s toy–so I think this Barbie/Bratz hybrid of the toy is just dumb. How can Rainbow Brite rule the color kingdom if she is going through puberty? That is just distracting. She needs to be a kid so she can focus on wielding the color belt and ruling justly over the color kids. She doesn’t have time to worry about the growths and changes of puberty on top of all that. Also, what have they done to Starlite?

I do not have kids. If I did, I would not buy this for them.

Someone posted this cover of Beyonce’s Single Ladies on Facebook, and then I had to go to PomplamooseMusic’s channel and watch all their videos. “Don’t make me sing this part of this song. The lyrics are so bad. So we’re going to skip ahead to the single ladies part instead.” Hehe…

I like this one too. The chorus is great.

PBS canceled the show in 2006, but now they aren’t going to show any episodes anymore. Which is understandable, really, but sad for those of us who watched it as a kid.

Is it sad that I would totally watch this, if it existed?

I got a kick out of these pictures of Disney Princesses in “real life” situations. In addition to Jasmine fighting in the war, Cinderella is an alcoholic, Snow White is in an unhappy marriage, and Little Red Riding Hood got fat. Ah, life.

So many questions here: Why is Archie proposing in a jewelry store? Why are Jughead and Betty looking in the window while he proposes? Why is Betty holding a piece of Wonder Bread to her face? Will Veronica be able to stand living with Archie’s parents while he struggles through junior college? After 65 years, how does this comic manage to still have fans?

So many questions…
