Who Was the Most Annoying Person of 2012?
Well, the year is nearly over, so let's look back and hate on it a little bit. So many, many things were annoying this year. People starting saying "cray-cray" all the time, and for some reason they also all decided it was okay to waggle their chewed up gum halfway out of their mouths on the train. It's not.

The Best Ikea Monkey Memes (Plus Video!)
In case you missed it, an adorable monkey dressed in a shearling coat made its way into a Toronto Ikea yesterday. As far as we're concerned, it's probably the greatest thing that's ever happened in an Ikea (unless you *like* watching couples fight over 99 cent flatware, you monster).
Redditor Parent Makes Hilarious Family Christmas Cards
Aside from that time when a cousin, without a trace of irony, sent a family Christmas card that was a picture of all the kids dressed up in hunting camo holding rifles, these are the best family Christmas cards ever. They were made by Redditor TPThatsMe, and if you go to the post on Imgur, you can also watch a video for how each of the photos came into being.
Girl Puts Cat on Treadmill, Doesn’t End in Tragedy
You might want to watch a video of a cat on a treadmill for the moment when it goes flying off and hits a door hard enough to make a sound but not hard enough to injure the cat. This is not that video. This is a video of a cat that does a pretty good job of running on a treadmill...
Arizona School Uses Holding Hands as Punishment
Two Arizona teenagers faced a choice after getting into a fight at Westwood High in Mesa: They could either be suspended for nine days ... or hold hands in front of everybody. Obviously, they chose the latter, and now the school is catching flak for it.

Conan O’Brien Offers a Senior’s Guide to Texting
Thanks to Team Coco for giving this educational guide to texting for seniors to the world. But you might not want to let your grandparents see it. Unless you want them to have constant, instant access to making you feel bad in that special grandparent way, that is...
See Angela From ‘Boy Meets World’ Then and Now
Then: Trina McGee played Shawn Hunter's first (and only) love interest, Angela Moore in seasons 5-7 of 'Boy Meets World.'
This House Has Serious Christmas ‘Gangnam Style’
John Storm is a lucky man. Most people who move into a new neighborhood and promptly set up an insane Christmas light show set to 'Gangnam Style' would not be very popular. His neighbors, however, think it's kind of impressive to meet a real-life Clark Griswold. We think it's kind of impressive that his hobby requires him to use a dongle. That's sincerely Gangnam Style.
Facebook Helps President Obama Pardon Two Turkeys
After a neck and neck online competition, President Obama today granted pardon to two turkeys, Cobbler and Gobbler. Cobbler, who likes eating cranberries and listening to Carly Simon, narrowly beat out Gobbler, the corn-eating turkey who loves bluegrass...
