One of the side effects of being a 5-day, live show was that the Gothic soap opera Dark Shadows featured regular technical and acting flubs. Many, many, many flubs And More (with laugh track).

Criggo is a blog that posts amusing newspaper bloopers and oddities - bad headlines, poorly chosen pictures, strange advertisements, etc. The blog only has the past month's worth of posts, but it's archived in its entirety here. (Just a light, fluffy, funny post for your Friday. And surprisingly it's never been an FPP before unless my Google/search skillz are failing me.)

Cross-dressing bass-playing Korean otaku endorses Meg Whitman for governor of California! Meg Whitman's spokeswoman posted a cryptic tweet slamming Whitman's opponent. Unfortunately, the shortened URL at the end of her tweet was truncated, so instead of pointing to a new press release on her campaign website (http://bit.ly/bNCAVr), it redirected followers to footage of Hyunmo Kim [previously] rocking an anime theme song dressed in his usual impeccable drag (http://bit.ly/bNCAV). When informed of the error, the spokeswoman replied, "oops." The tweet remains up, undeleted.

Sports Dignity (Or, rather, the lack thereof.) Alas, sometimes our athletes are just too caught up in the moment to realize what they're doing. Sometimes unfortunate things happen. Sometimes they suffer great pain. (Ugh.) ~NSFW~

Holy complusive nit-picking, Batman!
