Eiffel Tower Tourists Met With Massive, Obscene Snow Doodle

Ahhh, Paris -- the cheese, the wine, the hilarious and somewhat inappropriate snow wieners ...

Somebody with a sense of humor and a high degree of spatial intelligence managed to draw some enormous male genitalia on the ground on the courtyard of the Eiffel Tower. Unless of course it's two golf balls and a salt shaker, buuuuut we're guessing that's not what the artist had in mind.

Sadly, like most things made out of snow, the drawing would soon meet its end courtesy of a rake. (What? You've never smashed snow sculpture with a rake? You're missing out.) But, for a magical few hours, many people visiting the City of Lights got to come back with some hilarious pictures to spice up the slide show for their relatives.

Quick everybody! Break out your pervy, Vaudevillian French laugh: haw haw haw! Feel better? Of course you do.

Five-Star Four Loko -- Chef Makes a Multicourse Meal of the Demon Drink

Four Loko gets gourmet meal treatment. Or at least gourmet for Four Loko.Never mind the calories in Four Loko, or the fact that it tastes like the distilled pee of an alcoholic leper -- Four Loko is on everybody's lips right now (figuratively and horribly literally).

When it became known that the drink was effectively being banned, a Philadelphia chef started hoarding it so he could create a meal centered around the malt beverage / devil's elixir.

Wanting to get out one last hurrah out of the drink, Mike Levin of Adsum restaurant decided to do so in a manner consistent with Loko consumers: ironically. He incorporated its different flavors into a four-course gourmet meal.

People paid $35 and were treated to Moroccan lamb and BBQ-picnic-style food, all adorned with Four Loko transformed in some micro-gastronomy way and served with special Four Loko cocktails.

People interviewed at the meal said the food was pretty good, but we're guessing they were so Loko'd out that you could have fed them a box of chalk and they would have thought it was aces.

Wilson Phillips' Christmas Album Is Here: Grab Your Eggnog & Listen In!

There is no one in the world who doesn't love the Wilson Phillips song "Hold On."

It doesn't matter if it's a party full of women in their 50s, heavy metal kids in their 20s, nuns in their 70s, or anyone in between -- you put that song on and everyone stops and sings along.

Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson, and Chynna Phillips, the three ladies behind Wilson Phillips, have been through a lot since their debut in 1990 (!), but their voices have stayed perfectly in tune.

In light of their brand-new Christmas album, Christmas in Harmony, we called them up, poured some eggnog and talked music, female friendships, and, of course, Lady Gaga.

'Whatever' Crowned Most Annoying Word for Two Years Running

Like the Valley-slang version of Meryl Streep, the word "whatever" just keeps bringing home the trophies.

For the second year in a row, "whatever" was crowned the most annoying word in the English language. Thirty-nine percent of the Americans polled would like to rip "whatever" out of the dictionary, set it on fire, and give that most dismissive and juvenile word a proper burial.

After "whatever," Americans found "like" to be grating, followed by "you know what I mean," "to tell you the truth" and "actually."

The Marist Poll, the brilliant folk who conducted the research, divided the results by age and found that words annoy people differently depending on how old they are. Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 hate the word "like" more than the word "whatever." Aww, is that so? Our lack of sympathy for what annoys teenagers is, like, astounding.

The scariest thing about this research? This year, 39 percent of Americans found "whatever" to be annoying, compared to 44 percent last year. That's 5 percent less! What if the number just keeps going down and down and down until one day, our great-grandchildren tune in to a NASA press conference where the head researcher says, "We have made contact with extraterrestrial life ... or whatever."
