#ohsnap: Twitter Attacks Jenny McCarthy for Anti-Vaccination Nonsense
Twitter saves the day! Jenny McCarthy's inane and legit dangerous comments about vaccination causing autism has caused a hilarious and feisty Twitter tirade. After Jenny asked "What is the most important trait you look for in a mate? Reply using #jennyasks," users appropriated the hashtag to say things like "I would choose someone who values scientific fact over so-called 'celebrity' opinion" and "What qualities do I look for in a mate? Science literacy and critical thinking skills." Burn! But well-warranted: scientists blamed the recent measles outbreak in New York in part to the dangerous anti-vaccination movement. Tweet away, science-loving truth-finders.

Why does he do this and what does it have to do with gum? We don't know. Why did we watch it a few times in a row? We can't answer that either...
Harsh! Guitar-Ban Prison Policy Irks UK Legislator
The Prisons Minister of England (yes, that's a real job) has decided inmates can't play steel-stringed or electric guitars in jail, because steel strings can apparently be used as weapons (crafty!). Now, a local legislator is firing back about the policy, saying it will hinder the prisoners' abilities to develop their musical skills. We're gonna have to side with the legislator on this one, because the decision would definitely piss off Johnny Cash—and if Johnny wouldn't be happy, we're not happy! (General life rule.)
