Be warned, reading this list may introduce you to things you do not all ready know and will subsequently not be able to forget.

There were apparently lots of things I managed to not read/find out about this year! Good job, me.
WHAT???
I missed most of it, but I found it an interesting list amd googled some of them.

I scrolled past the woman eating poop, I did not need to see that video.
Yeah, I didn't take a gander at that one. The breast feeding father really disgusted me. I mean, if he isn't getting some sort if weirdo kicks from it, why doesn't she use a pump?

Things that made me laugh (from least to greatest lol):
Bachman eyes
Rick Perry eating a corn dog
Urban Outfitters clip on bangs
Mexican pointy shoes
Iggy Pop in a dress
That girl with all the make up licking her lips
Gordon Ramsay sex dwarf eaten by badger
Things that made me sad (from least to greatest heartbreak):
Dipping dots dying
Iggy Pop in a dress
Everything else on the list
Gordon Ramsay sex dwarf eaten by badgers
Yeah that Metallica/Lou Reed Cd is the worst thing ever. Good music to put you to sleep though.

Nobody thinks that Justin Bieber's mustache is hilarious?
I was kind of jealous of Justin Bieber's mustache.
I'm speechless.
That pejazzle really ...wow. The botox and 7-yr old getting implants was just infuriating. Why those mother's aren't locked up boggles my mind.
I thought the botox one was.
Beiber's facial hair made me feel really uncomfortable at first. Exactly the way I feel when women have mustaches. But now, you're right, it's hilarious.
And pejazzling sounds like it's going to lead to some terrible accidents.
The horror...
I hope so.
she didn't get the implants yet, she has a voucher so she can go when she's 18

What happened to looking forward to getting a new car or being old enough to vote? Now we have 7yr olds looking forward to a boob job for their 18th birthday.
what's wrong with clip on bangs?
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
I have never had Dippin Dots. I have however had Astronaut Icecream. There's your fucking desert future right there.
And Loutallica proved that mashing-up two superstar's mediocre albums improves upon neither. Some of it *is* listenable. None of it is close to "pretty good".
This is why we can't have nice things.
I saw "Loutallica" on Jools Holland and kind of enjoyed it. Wouldn't buy it though.
The Reed bit sounds like any other contemporary Reed, which is arty and literate but not really entertaining nor rocking. And the guy can totally still tear off a good Rock album if he wants to. The Metallica bit would have made an intriguing instrumental set. Two companion discs with the common theme would have worked far better. Why not??
This is why we can't have nice things.
Everything
But I read that urban also did some shady shit.

Wait, what? There is such a thing as clip on bangs?
Hi Melondy!
This is why we can't have nice things.
I only knew about one of those things, but was I the only one super disturbed by beans from Even Stevens? Noone else in that age demographic?
I refuse to read the list.
I am supposed to be forgetting about these things.
yeah beans is scary, even before he grew up he creeped me out.
I knew about a couple of those things, like Trump and Rebecca Black.
Also, NZ's DOC (Department of Conservation) is really pissed off about some american claiming to have found the biggest weta. They're all like "Yeah, they're big, and there's probably bigger ones around you silly person."
The adult babies, breast feeding dad and Lohan's teeth were all very ikky and now I know about them I have to try and forget them. Creepy.
I was reading about that Weta thing the other day. It is really BIG!
From NZ online news site:
http://www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/local-news/6076169/Whopping-weta-wows-th...
But Landcare Research entomologist Dr Thomas Buckley says, based on Moffett's photos, the weta's size looks about average for its species.
"The species itself is the heaviest in the world but whether that individual is the heaviest you couldn't really say.
"From the picture it's a female, but it just looks like an average sized one of that species."
The largest ever recorded weighed 71 grams - larger than the average sparrow.
Buckley says, while the species is endangered, they are fairly easy to find on the island.
"On Little Barrier they're reasonably common, you can go out at night and see them on the trunks of trees, but you won't see them on the mainland. They disappeared years ago from the mainland.
"During the day they'll be wedged away in rotten trees and hollows, and at night you'll see them out walking around and looking for mates and feeding and so on."
"The species itself is the heaviest in the world but whether that individual is the heaviest you couldn't really say....The largest ever recorded weighed 71 grams - larger than the average sparrow.
Look, don't try to confuse me. What's that in cubic mice?
This is why we can't have nice things.
I'm pretty sure saying cubic mice doesn't make sense. Aren't mice already in three dimensions?

Well... shit.
Regardless, this was in the article I saw.
"She enjoyed the carrot so much she seemed to ignore the fact she was resting on our hands and carried on munching away.
"She would have finished the carrot very quickly, but this is an extremely endangered species and we didn't want to risk indigestion.
I can't wait until they turn this into a Disney movie.
Don't be silly. Who would possibly want to measure linear mice?
This is why we can't have nice things.
I was utterly mesmerized by the chick eating poop.
But then I have a strange love for the horrible. People watching at Walmart fulfills me.
Author of 'The Dead Dream Wakes'.
From the same article:
An American tourist has claimed he's found the world's biggest insect during a two-day hunt on Auckland's Little Barrier Island - but the experts aren't buying his tall tale.
Mark Moffett, a former park ranger from Colorado, found the Little Barrier giant weta up a tree and snapped it nibbling a carrot.
Moffett's photos have been published on Britain's Daily Mail and Sun news websites where he claims to have found the largest ever specimen.
"The giant weta is the largest insect in the world, and this is the biggest one ever found, she weighs the equivalent to three mice," he told the Daily Mail.
Shit. Does NZ use Metric mice or Old Impirial? What about Post-Colonial Avoirdupois?
This is why we can't have nice things.
You're funny Tuffy.
We use giant NZ metric mice of course.
What with their bugs being that big I'd hate to see the size of their mice. R.O.U.S.-es.
We have big bugs, but they're not poisonous. Weta's can give you a bit of a nip though. We have one native poisonous spider and a couple of accidentally imported ones from Aussie. And no snakes. You know those spiders in the movie Arachnophobia? They're from NZ, called the Avondale spider.
Those big wetas would have been everywhere prior to pests like possums and stoats being introduced, which also with the help of Maori got rid of a number of native bird species.

Also, I am incredibly sad that Dippin Dots is no more.
