WALL OF SHAME
One for the "You Can't Be Serious" Files: Padded Bikinis for 7-Year-Olds
With help from online parenting forum Mumsnet's Let Girls Be Girls campaign, the UK shop Primark pulled a padded bathing suit for 7-year-old girls this week. Definitely an exhibit for the WTF Museum, alongside UK store Tesco's kiddie stripper poles.
Mrs. Scott Baio Gives Jezebel a Dose of Hatebook
Scott Baio's Tax Day tweet heckling of Jezebel.com, while inexplicable, was mainly schoolyard taunts. But his wife Renee took it to a scary level with this Facebook status update (don't scroll down if you're offended by cussing and hate):
(WARNING LABEL THIS IS NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN OR TO OFFEND MY FAMILY OR FRDS) "F***kYOU Jezebel.com web rag!!!! You bunch of FAR LEFT Lesbian shitasses!!!!!!! No wonder you're all lesbos because what man in his right mind could put up with your c*ntess? Scott Baio has more class in his piss than all of you all!!!"
Now we all know how much class there is in a glass of piss. Thanks, Baios!
Osama Bin Laden's Facebook Page: Unlike. Unlike. Unlike
Facebook shut down a profile for Osama bin Laden last week -- but not before it attracted more than 1,000 fans and posted al Qaeda-related speeches.
Larry King to Willie Nelson: YOU HAVE POT IN YOU RIGHT NOW?
During a recent interview between Larry King and Willie Nelson, the talk to turned to legalizing marijuana.
"Sure, you can overdo it," said Willie, who spoke -- among many other things -- of his high tolerance and hiding spot for his weed while appearing to frantically search the studio for Cheetos.
WALL OF FAME
The Bitchin Wife's "Popular Blogger" Video Is Pitch-Perfect
Amy, , the Bitchin Wife made a musical ripoff of the song "Popular" from Wicked that's pitch-perfect in every way. ("When someone needs a boost in stats/They shouldn't resort to LOLcats/
I know. I know exactly what they need!")
Starring Zooey Deschanel as Geek Hero Ada Lovelace

Quirky indie actress Deschanel is set to play genius programming pioneer, mathematician and author Ada Lovelace in the upcoming biopic "Enchantress of Numbers." Will Zooey play Ada as Manic Pixie Dream Girl or dreamy elf groupie? We don't care -- we're just happy girl geeks are coming to Hollywood. Are Ada Lovelace Day screening parties in our future?
Britney and Jessica: Positive Body Image Role Models (Really)

Britney Spears released unretouched photos from her Candie's ad campaign to the media last week; the "after shots" have her thighs, waist and butt slimmed down, and a tattoo, bruise and some cellulite Photoshopped out. Meanwhile, Jessica Simpson posed for Allure magazine wearing no makeup.
While we don't think either star is especially brave for exposing the minute differences in beauty that occur when genetically gifted women have only great lighting, personal stylists, and ultratalented photographers -- and likely lots and lots of photos to choose from -- to support them, it's still miles away from the usual nonsense about "weight battles" and "train wrecks."
Annie, Are You Okay? 'Cause This Walrus Is a Smooth Criminal
This Michael Jackson-loving walrus totally puts his high-kicking trainer to shame. Starting with the head bops and crescendoing to the flipper voguing, this walrus
