The joys of a celebrity meltdown caught on tape (top 15) The public spectacle feeds a schadenfreudian tulpa that will one day smash the beast 666 and release the pizza kids.
There is nothing like a good celebrity meltdown to remind us that Hollyweirdos are people just like us, and not much like the Disneyfied PC golems constructed by their teams of branding professionals. Every second of drain-circling mental derangement caught on tape nevertheless feeds our communal tulpa made of pure schadenfreude that will one day smash the beast 666 and release those poor pizza kids. South Park had different, but almost as satisfactory, ideas in their famous Hollywood sacrifice episode: Watch this video on YouTube So we have collected the best of celebrity meltdowns caught on tape and listed them here for your edification. If you’re at work wearing headphones,…

‘Doop Doop’ and the other theories that explain pop hits (pretty well) Computers may soon write our hits from scratch. One algorithm can predict with 60% accuracy whether a song will be a Top 5 hit.
We have all heard the line: “Pop music is so formulaic.” But what does that mean? What is that formula? What makes a pop hit a hit? And how can we write one so we can get the royalties from that next Katy Perry chart topper? It turns out that a lot of researchers have been asking the same question. The Hit Potential Equation In 2011, a team of researchers at the University of Bristol came up with a Hit Potential Equation, for the purpose of predicting the next UK hit. The Equation is based on musical features, such as tempo, beat-variation, loudness, time signature, “danceability,” and simplicity. The formula…

YouTube’s most demented science projects (top 15) The age of the lone inventor tinkering away in his own backyard is far from over—but this stuff is barely legal.
Most innovation these days is conducted by large teams of scientists and engineers in well-funded labs, but it pays to remember that many of the inventions that make modern life possible started out in much humbler circumstances – from the Wright brothers’ bicycle workshop to the kitchen stovetop where Charles Goodyear first made vulcanized rubber. But don’t think the age of the lone inventor working away in his own backyard is over completely. To find proof of this, you need look no further than YouTube. There are all sorts of creations on there that are imaginative, ingenious, and complex. And very, very dangerous. While you might stare open mouthed in…

Chinese police cage, interrogate man for criticizing traffic cops online "Uncle Police, I'm so sorry, I'm wrong."
A viral video from China shows a man in a strange Thomas the Train like cage being interrogated by police.
