Cee-Lo Green has definitely made a name for himself in recent years as one half of the dynamic duo Gnarls Barkley.

To be fair, it’s pretty cool looking, but I’m sure it’s absolutely impractical.
It’s supposed to have an ultra-precise motor and the cartridge is made out of titanium. Still, I really don’t know if it’s worth it. I may stick with my low-end tables.
In my googling, I did find [...]

Check out this hilarious video of Bill O’Reilly flipping out at his teleprompter. The video, which has been making the rounds on the internet, is absolutely classic and should put to rest any who doubt O’Reilly’s douche-ness.
