#knewshewasagroupie
It’s Sunday, and as bored Sundays go, I am listening to a back catalog of CDs and surfing Twitter. #knewshewasagroupie is a trending topic on Twitter, meaning there’s a spike in people tweeting the hashtag.
Some rapper, I guess, started it. The fast-talker in question, named Fabolous (@myfabolouslife), has perhaps the gayest stage name since Liza Minelli (wait, that’s a...

TheTomCarter: HAHAHAHA
Now go cry!
spacerobot: a few years ago I had a facebook ad that said “23 and single?” Shortly after that I got an ad saying “23 and overweight?” It was a sad day for me.
Bethi: I just saw an ad on facebook for a concert tour that said “don’t miss out just because you have no friends to go with!”
:(

Might want to rethink this one.
molls: I would rather be described as a pedophile than a “typophile”. What the hell is wrong with you nerds?
25 Awesome Homeless Guy Signs →
You’re pretty much guaranteed to make a fortune by sitting on the street holding a cup and a funny sign. It’s a top-10 job, no doubt.
Spongebob: One homeless guy in San Francisco scared the shit out of me by holding twigs in front of his body so he would look like a bush and yelled BOO at me. He got money from the people who were laughing on the other side of the street and I got a...

Heaven is... Hell is...
While fairly accurate, this t-shirt pretty much reeks of racism. Not sure how many people would actually be able to read the whole thing when they see the guy walking into a 7-11 to buy his redneck toothpicks.
So, for those who missed him, or if you’re too lazy to click on the picture, here’s what it says:
Heaven is where the police are British, the chefs Italian, the mechanics...

Man hires prostitute to take 14-year-old son's...
If I recall correctly, when I turned 14, my parents gave me a cell phone. I thought that was a pretty awesome gift.
But in an unprecedented entry for the No. 1 Dad competition, a British father buys his kid a hooker for his birthday. It made a hilarious story around the police station and months later at Thanksgiving dinner.
So, Jews usher in adulthood at 13 with an expensive ceremony and lots...

'I do not have any money so I am sending you this...
I wrote about David Thorne recently, and here’s another one of my favorites. Thorne has an email exchange with his bank in which his account is overdrawn. Hilarity involving spiders with 7 legs ensues. Read it first, then check the comments.
generalalcazar: That customer account rep has the patience of Ghandi
SDuffie: This has made me wet my pants, that’s twice today, damn.

More intelligent vs. less intelligent searches on...
Using Google Suggest, the technology that shows the most popular and relevant searches based on what you’re typing, we get some telling discoveries about user intelligence.
How you phrase search queries apparently tells a lot about you.

“How do you tell a girl you’re sleeping with that her vagina smells bad?”
– meccanikal via Reddit
EidRoLlort: Tell her you have a gift for her and hand her one of those pine tree air fresheners. When she says, “Oh, for my car?” you reply, “Guess again.”
InCahoots: Say, “Everyone with a nice smelling vagina step forward. No, not you...

soupsoup:

Here’s some answers:
nevercapitalize: Because you’re liable to commit vehicular manslaughter but you can’t give another person cancer.
lvlewitinn: Because cars don’t sit around all day watching TV, eating processed foods, and doing no exercizee.

Obama Joker artist reveals identity
As it turns out, the guy who made the poster of Barack Obama as the Joker from Batman isn’t some right-wing douchebag. He’s a college student from Chicago.
Firas Alkhateeb is a history major and amateur Photoshopper. Well, not amateur anymore. He got the blessing of Shepard Fairey. Nothing to sneeze at.
Commenters, though, had some valuable advice for Alkhateeb and his newfound...

'The ducks in the bathroom are not mine'
David Thorne is perhaps the most terrible tenant ever. His landlord, Helen Bailey, quickly learned that fact when Thorne’s neighbors accused him of having dogs in his apartment.
The absurd e-mail exchange was eventually picked up by the hilarious Emails from Crazy People, a new blog by the guys that did Fail Blog and I Can Haz Cheeseburger. It’s pretty damn funny and some of the...

And we're back
I broke Rule No. 1 of blogging. Actually, the first rule is “don’t talk about blog club,” right? It’s one of them.
Anyway, after a two-month hiatus, Comment Gold is back on a new platform (yes, we’re hip with the Tumblr now) and a new design (the bunny in the red dress).
I managed to port a bunch of the old posts over — dating back to April. But it couldn’t...
