Picture of the Week (Honorary Gilbert Gottfried Edition)

Picture of the Week (Honorary Mention)


As Oliver Willis beautifully put it, these things are a lot funnier once you stop pretending that Fox News is an actual news network.

Apparently while supposedly running down all the nuclear reactors in Japan, Neil Cavuto popped up the above map. One name stands out: Shibuyaeggman. Turns out there is no reactor called that and no specific city or town called that either. There is, however, an "Eggman" nightclub in the Shibuya section of Tokyo.

So a Japanese nuclear reactor is located right below the "@ Super Suits Store." And Jonny Hi-Fi played it back in '06.

Here now, the Beastie Boys doing Eggman. Because as you know, suckers they come a dime a dozen.
