Whatever happened to Tubgirl and Eel Girl? (If you have never seen these things, worry not!) There was also, a few years back, some website that was supposed to be the future of the Internet, devoted to tabloid play of death and destruction video. Now I can't even remember what it's called and can't even Google it up. Choire Sicha ponders the loss of gross-out sites like Rotten.com and videos ...

We all feel a certain degree of attachment to our phones, but most people probably wouldn't be willing to stick their arms down a public toilet to retrieve their submerged cells. This anonymous guy from China, however, is apparently not "most people." After dropping his phone in a toilet (not as rare an event as you'd think) in China's Jiangsu province, the man decided to go fishing for it with ...

In order to detect when and where you tap, capacitive touchscreens, like the one found on the iPhone, rely on the ability of the human finger to conduct electricity. Unfortunately, that means whenever you don gloves, the device becomes useless. Companies like Ten One Design sell specially designed styli for use with such screens, but some might not want to spend $15 on what amounts to a tube ...

Remember when your parents would say, "You aren't leaving this table until you clean that plate?" Of course, you do. It's why you, along with millions of other Americans, turned into such a glutton. So, if you need to work out some deep gastrointestinal and parental issues, well, there's an app for that (maybe). According to The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW), iLickit is the first iPhone ...

The computer peripheral marketplace offers an array of cute and quirky add-ons with which to brighten lonely cubicles and enliven blasé home offices. Artist Mio I-Zawa, in apparent disdain for bright and happy peripherals, has designed perhaps the nastiest computer accessory ever created (check out the video after the break). The disgustingly realistic 'Mechanical Tumor' plugs into a ...

Yesterday, New York City police identified and arrested a man wanted for public masturbation, thanks to one concerned citizen and her camera phone. According to the New York Daily News, 41-year-old Harlem resident Cileane White was minding her own business as she sat on the Number 3 subway train last Friday. Out of nowhere, from across the aisle, Kevin Bishop, 44, of the Bronx, exposed himself ...

Craigslist endures constant, heated criticism. But a relatively new fan-submitted site seeks to provide some Craigslist levity by highlighting the worst and mostly poorly described items on the site. ItemNotAsDescribed.com contains an abundance of embellished "free" Craigslist items, hilariously exposing the depths of human filth and gullibility. Some of the offerings are certainly "not as ...

In the ever-expanding iPhone app store, there are some helpful, fun and downright awesome sources of information and entertainment. That said, every so often an app shows up that makes us wonder what the hell the people at Apple were thinking (if they were, in fact, thinking when they approved it). We are speaking, of course, about the now infamous 'Baby Shaker' app that went on sale Monday, ...

In our efforts to promptly and accurately report the important Net news of the day, we often present tales of unwitting Web surfers who, through posts, pictures and videos, jeopardize their livelihood and freedom. In one of the most humorous, and revolting, acts of Internet idiocy we've come across, two Domino's employees lost their jobs and are facing felony charges for videos they uploaded on ...

While not nearly as disgusting as finding a Band-Aid or (gag) a human finger in your food, we still understand why Emma Schweiger of Wisconsin was a little perturbed to find an aging Nokia cell phone in her bag of Clancy's Ripple Potato Chips. Schweiger was absentmindedly munching away on her salty snack when she felt something hard, and a tad misshapen, in the bottom of her bag of chips. After ...

If you measure the success of a gadget by its available number of juvenile, gross applications and accessories then the iPhone is a huge hit. We've already seen an iPhone-compatible vibrator, but that is nothing compared to the slew of repulsive, albeit less sexually explicit, games available at the App Store. A girl we once dated really enjoyed popping people's black heads. A tad gross, we ...

On a serious note, we're telling ourselves that there's just no way this happens in even a meaningful amount of Gamestop locations, but more than anything, the video waiting just after the break is for chuckles and chuckles alone. Apparently, one quick-thinking videographer-to-be captured a few stacks of Xbox 360s and PS3s in the store bathroom. Yes, the store bathroom. So the ...

When using a porta-potty, it's hard to not gaze in disgust at the holding tank that lingers below the seat; the oddly blue-green liquid conceals unknown horrors. It's certainly not a place you'd want to climb down into -- not if you're sober at least. Even drunk, it seems like an awfully bad idea, as was unfortunately discovered by a man from Pennsylvania, who was found trapped inside one -- ...
