This might be the best thing on the Internet right now.  Check out a video where a beer-bellied Russian guy in a Speedo joins in on a step aerobics class.  It’s next to a pool at some resort . . . and he’s awesome at it.

Remember the old days? When everyone was polite, there were only three TV channels, and families actually talked during dinner instead of just staring at their cell phones?

A new survey asked people to name things that aren’t as good as they used to be. And people had no problem rattling off a massive list. Here’s the top 15:

#1.) Manners and politeness.

#2.) The weather.

#3.) Bars.

#4.) Schools.

#5.) TV.

#6.) Public transportation.

#7.) Banks.

#8.) Children.

#9.) Music.

#10.) Doctors.

#11.) The police. (The actual police, not the band.)

#12.) Hollywood movies.

#13.) Politicians.

#14.) Sports.

#15.) Sex.

So, is anything actually better than it used to be?

Only four things got positive rankings in this survey: Restaurants . . . cars . . . vacations . . . and fashion.

We love the website PeopleOfWalmart.com, which features an almost endless supply of ridiculous-looking people at Walmarts. Well . . . if these photos ever surface, they might trump everything else on that site.

Rodney Kunkel

Last week, 44-year-old Rodney Kunkel of Toledo, Ohio was busted for walking around a Walmart and putting photos of himself on different shelves.

The photos featured Rodney in fishnet stockings . . . a woman’s camisole . . . high heels . . . and no underwear.

He put at least nine of those photos on shelves, and on the windshields of some of the cars in the parking lot.

A Walmart security guard finally spotted him and called the police. They arrested him.

He’s been charged with two counts of pandering obscenity, which is a felony that could get him up to 12 months in prison and a $2,500 fine.

According to the police, quote, “apparently he did it just to get a reaction.”

This is Rodney’s third arrest for nudity. In 2002 he got out of his car totally naked and relieved his bladder in front of a grocery store. And in 2004 he was bicycling naked and exposed himself to a woman in front of an apartment complex.

We thought we would have a little fun with some country lyrics today and read them like they were a Dr. Seuss story… Since it’s Dr. Seuss Day! Read More »

Do you remember your first car? And when I ask the question, does a picture of it instantly appear in your head . . . and start you on a wistful, romantic flashback? Possibly with “Low Rider” by War playing as the soundtrack?

According to a new survey commissioned by Castrol, everybody has happy memories of their first car.

Half of the people surveyed say they had a, quote, “love affair” with their first car and they’ll never forget it. Another 40% say they remember their first car fondly. That means only 10% of people don’t have happy first-car memories

25% of people say they gave their first car a name.

10% of people say that even though their car would be a total heap by modern standards, they’d for sure buy it back if they had the chance.

62% of people say that their first car was six years old or more when they bought it used or got it passed down from a parent or sibling. The average person kept their first car for three years.

57% of people say they bought their first car themselves. Men were more likely than women to buy their first car.

If you think you’re being smooth by hiding something in your underwear drawer . . . rolls of money, naked pictures of your ex, chocolate , whatever . . . people are on to you. Read More »

A survey by Vicks, the vapor-rub people, found that your mom may not be the best source of medical advice when you’re sick. Here are five myths that many moms believe, even though they’re false:

#1.) Cover your head, because that’s where you lose most of your body heat: 85% of moms believe it, but it just feels that way because your face is sensitive to heat.

#2.) Get plenty of rest, and do not exercise when you’re sick: 72% believe it. While you need to get your rest, exercise can actually make you feel better.

#3.) Cover your mouth with your hand when you sneeze: 49% of moms believe it, but then your hands are covered with germs. Instead, cough into your elbow.

#4.) “Starve a cold and feed a fever.” Or is it “feed a cold and starve a fever?” Actually, neither. You should always eat well and be hydrated, but 40% believe the myth.

#5.) If you go outside with wet hair, you’ll get sick: 38% of moms think so. Wet hair doesn’t expose you to any more viruses than dry, but it will make you colder.

According to a recent survey, half of us have ended a date in the middle of it, because it wasn’t going well.

But obviously you can’t just tell the person you think they’re stupid. Or annoying. Or ugly. You have to pretend you really want to stay but can’t . . . then you just never return their phone calls after that.

But in case you can’t think of something to say, here are the five most popular excuses for ending a date early.

1. “There’s a family emergency.” Or maybe something happened to a friend. Whatever it is, it’s urgent and can’t wait.

2. “I’m suddenly not feeling very well.” If they chose the restaurant and you can blame it on the food, bonus.

3. “I feel a migraine coming on.” Which is pretty close to the last one. But women use the headache excuse so much, it deserves it’s own spot on the list.

4. “There’s a problem at work.” It’s harder to pull off if it’s nine at night. But it seems like people are constantly working now, so it probably still works.

5. “I forgot to take my dog out.” Or a variation, like you forgot to feed your cats. Which is pretty weak, but hopefully they’d get the hint and just never call you.
