Sometimes, the jokes just write themselves. Case in point: the New Zealand man being charged with assault for flinging a hedgehog at a 15-year-old boy. Then again, sometimes it’s harder to find the funny. Lucky for us, Scanner brings their A-game on the daily. Take a jaunt with them down to the Museum of Broken Relationships, where jilted lovers showcase the detritus of their failed romances; then marvel at the architectural porn that is the Finnish ice palace (like that story by F. Scott Fitzgerald! Anyone? Anyone?). But Scanner doesn’t just bring the news, they also ask the questions others are afraid to tackle, such as: How skinny is unf*ckable if you’re Jennifer Connolly? Tyra Banks vs. Jessie Spano, who’d you rather? Plus: The last supper turned hot gay orgy.
Over in Screengrab territory, we get a migraine-inducing preview of Oliver Stone’s Dubya biopic which, from the script snippets we’ve been handed, may as well be called Turdblossom and Friends; The Rep Report brings us the art house haps in three major cities; the DVD Digest gives us the skinny newly released flicks, from Munchausen to milkshakes; and finally, we get a look at Scarlett Johansson’s bone-crushingly literal album cover for her upcoming release (seriously, the only other option on the obviousness scale would be Tom Waits swaddled in a sheet.)
And lastly but not leastly, the Hooksexup Video Blog serves up bears playing hockey, the infamous pregnant man inviting the SNL cast to his baby shower (complete with pregnant stripper!), and an airline ad featuring hot buttered tits.
