Canada vs. America - Which Country Has Cuter Kittens?

As Americans gear up for our July 4th holiday weekend, we can't forget to give some props to our neighbors up North as they celebrate Canada Day today. In honor of the land of maple syrup, hockey and Alex Trebek, we want to share this hard-hitting investigative report from web hottie Chris Leavins, aka Cute with Chris, as he presents an argument that Canada is better than the USA based on the cuteness of their kittens.



 

Today's Cry: A Very Theatrical Wedding Speech

Today's Cry features a wedding reception in which the Best Man's toast takes a very unexpected turn (at least to the Bride, anyway) when the bridal party and guests turn the occasion into an all-out musical theater spectacle honoring the bride. Something about the utter devotion and love for their friend Amy (think of all the practice time!) made me choke up.

That's it -- if I ever get married, I'm hiring a crew of immensely talented folks to pull something like this off. They can act like they love me this much and I'll act surprised. (Sorry actual friends if you don't make the cut...)

Our Last John Tesh Twitterwatch Update (Probably)


Hey Teshbots, sorry to leave you hanging! Since we last checked in with our favorite new star in the Twitterverse, John Tesh has really taken to using the service and even @replying with folks. Thanks for proving us wrong, Johnny. We're truly excited to see what's on your mind.

However, we must ask, are you trying to punish us with your slight digs at our parent company? Ouch! We're sorry we ever doubted you. We're lovers not haters!

Your most loyal followers,

Lip Dubs, Freak Outs and Synchronized Swimming - Why Isn't Our Office This Exciting?

I've just about had it with all of these office videos where workers clearly lack responsibilities and actually get along well enough to coordinate entire routines. Just kidding -- I'm sure the workers have plenty to do at their jobs, but seriously -- stop giving me office jealousy, okay?

It all started with Connected Ventures' infamous lip dub where an entire office of buddies coordinated a lip sync to Harvey Danger's 'Flagpole Sitta'. If you think that's cool, don't even get me started on their entire video series dedicated to "Hardly Working". Next, we were amazed by an extreme office freak out where a guy tears his office apart, taking out a few coworkers in the process. Thankfully, the video turned out to be fake. (If you missed these gems, be sure to check them out after the jump!)

Now we have some ladies from Russia showing off some synchronized swimming behind their desks.

What?! Is your office this great? The most excitement we get around here is when the coffee machine breaks and spills water all over the floor. What's next? Feature films coming out of law firms? We'll be sure to keep you posted.
