And then there’s Travis Frey, a 33-year-old Iowa man who is facing charges that he tried to kidnap his own wife [...]

The whole “digital short” thing is really working out for Saturday Night Live. This week’s show has an opening with Steve Martin that was probably one of the funniest I’ve seen in a long time.

Each pixel costs $1. Oh, and the site’s tagline? “Cover the lies and advertise.” Jeezus… But upon visiting the site, what I [...]
