Shane Mercado is a single man who recreated the choreography from Beyonce's "Single Ladies" video in the privacy of his own apartment. Because thanks to the internet, the privacy of one's own apartment can be broadcast to the world.
He's now one of You Tube's biggest stars, because his performance is extremely awesome and extremely gay. It's really just a joy to watch. Even more so when you see it right next to Beyonce's original.
And this is the funniest.
Like the rest of the intermanet, we at Spectacular Blog Headquarters Worldwide Internatational Unlimited are obsessed with this shiba inu puppy cam. Obsessed!
Watch it! Love the puppies! Love them! Say "Awwwww!" SAY IT!

You must check out this game, which is kinda like Super Mario, except instead of Mario, it's Barack Obama, and instead of mushrooms and turtles, he has to jump on lobbyists and pigs with lipstick.
Oh yeah, and it's in Alaska, too.
I've loved this video for a long, long time. But I'm just now posting it. You should love it, too. It puts me in the mood for having a secksie Christmas!
The second installment in Colleen McHugh's year of one-night-only performances is tonight (!) at The Duplex in New York City.
This month, the show is called Friend of Dorothy: Colleen sings Judy.
I'm fairly desperate to know what's on the song list for tonight. In my mind's eye, the show opens by having Colleen enter The Duplex on a tractor, while farm scenes are projected behind her. I'm fairly certain she's not going to do it, but man, oh, man, can you imagine?
Here's the scene from Summer Stock, Judy's last MGM Musical. Hold on to your hats, folks. This is pretty much awesome.
And among the things that aren't very amusing are the plight of refugees around the world.
According to the 1951 United Nations convention on refugees, a refugee is a person who “owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country.”
But that definition does not begin to tell the story of the unthinkable horrors that refugees endure. They are often forced to leave their homes suddenly, leaving behind all of their possessions except what they can carry with them. Though they seek safety in neighboring countries, when they arrive, they find horrendous conditions in refugee camps, and some of the most inhospitable conditions imaginable. Children become separated from their families. Refugees are often tortured by those detaining them.
There are 13 million refugees in the world today. That's why Spectacular Blog has joined a number of other bloggers through a group called Bloggers Unite to call attention to the plight of refugees and to provide our readers with some resources to find out what you can do in your own community to help people around the globe who are in dire circumstances, and who are afraid to go home.

I'm just back from lunch, where I decided to sample Burger King's "Cheezy Tots." I'm here to tell you that there's a word in English to describe the experience. That word is "revolting."
But from the paroxysms of despair, I have come up with a concept that I think would make a gazillion dollars, even as the economy collapses around us. That concept is a tater tot-centric restaurant. I would call it "Tots!" (With the exclamation point, because it's exciting).
Our signature dish would be a plate of tater tots, with chili and shredded cheddar cheese.
We'd also serve Totchos, which would be tater tots garnished with nacho cheese, jalapenos black beans, and other nacho fixin's.
Tots! would sell something called the Baked Totato, which would be tater tots covered in sour cream, chives, and bacon.
I think I'm onto something great, here. All I need is an investor. Please send your money to Howard Bannister, in care of Spectacular Blog Headquarters Worldwide International, Limited.
