(#4) 7 Sites You Should Be Wasting Time On Right Now (PICTURES)
When FCC chairman Newton N. Minow coined the phrase "vast wasteland" in 1961, he was referring to television. Clearly, Minow would barely be able to wrap his head around what telecommunications has become: a dumping ground for cat videos and self-referential Internet memes.

They say that nobody ever said on their deathbed that they wish they spent more time at the office. The reason why is because they spent time doing actual work and not poking around the Internet. Had they spent more time on cat blogs, there would be no shame in sitting at a computer all day, because cat blogs truly are the fruit of life.

The 9 weirdest PSAs ever made
There are many serious issues here and abroad that deserve more attention and non-profit advocates have taken to the airwaves to solicit contributions and raise awareness.
Unfortunately, some of them miss the mark and give us incredibly creepy videos that make us want to hide from the moving image forever, or create a cult classic that has lost its weight and power due to some unfortunate casting or strange music choices.
Of course there are also the kind of Public Service Announcements that start out normal, but end up taking their point to an illogical conclusion therefore making you think, "the anti-pot group must have been high when filming this."
Here are the nine weirdest, creepiest, funniest, or similarly bizarre PSAs available on the internet ... I'm not sure what this anti-drug ad is for, but regardless I think we can all agree they present some pretty impressive reasons for using cocaine.
British public service announcement from 1983 about not allowing strange callers into your home.
Raise your hand if you would let this man in your house? No one? Oh, that's a surprise considering he's deeply creepy, an obvious liar and British. Too bad this lady knew all that and just kept giggling instead of screaming for help.

PeeWee says, "Don't do crack," and when Pee Wee speaks, everybody listens, especially when you're trapped in a dark room with him.
Did you know that mumps can make your testicles swell? If not this ad is for you.
Is it just me or does this ad make doing Meth look kind of awesome? My apartment is a mess and I don't have cheery music following me around during the day.

Funny PSAs
Public Service Announcement's are never well produced. So we thought you'd like to see the ten funniest PSA's we could think of.
10 Funny Public Service Ads About Serious Issues
Anyone who's ever had to raise a sensitive or difficult subject knows there's nothing like humor to break the ice. Armed with this approach, the non-profit Ad Council has, over the years, developed a number of very funny public service ads that seek to educate and inform about all kinds of serious issues -- such as obesity, cancer, and adoption.
More than 79% of Americans feel "the most significant family or social problem facing America is the physical absence of the father from the home." Research shows that the lack of a father in the home correlates closely with crime, educational and emotional problems, teenage pregnancy, and drug and alcohol abuse. This ad is a lighthearted prompt to fathers to become involved and spend more time with their children.
Since the launch of the Ad Council's foster care adoption campaign with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in 2004, 12,000 children have found a permanent home. The consistent tagline, "You don't have to be perfect to be a perfect parent," illustrates imperfect parent moments to dispel perceptions about adoption from foster care.
"The Shelter Pet Project" campaign aims to encourage pet lovers throughout the country to make shelters and rescue groups the first place they turn to when acquiring companion animals. The humorous PSAs help to break down the negative stereotypes associated with shelter pets by illustrating how issues with the owners often lead to pets ending up in shelters.
"VD Is For Everybody" (VD Awareness)
Launched in 1969, this campaign helped raise awareness about the prevalence of venereal disease and paved the way for frank and non-judgmental messages on related health problems.
The Ad Council launched the colon cancer prevention PSA campaign with the American Cancer Society in 2002 to raise awareness that colon cancer is the third most common cancer -- and one of the most curable, if caught early. A character named "Polyp Man" was created to personify colon cancer and communicate the actions needed to prevent it.
Approximately 7,000 high school students drop out every school day, which translates to one in three students. Once students make the decision to drop out, they lack the tools to compete in today's society and diminish their chances for greater success in the future. This PSA campaign shows how your opportunities may be limited by the lack of a high school diploma.
The "Questions Are The Answer" campaign is designed to encourage patients to get involved in their health care by knowing and asking appropriate questions when visiting their doctor and other clinicians. This PSA cleverly juxtaposes help-seeking behaviors at a store and at a doctor's office.
With this PSA the Library of Congress sought to engage all Americans in learning our nation's history.
As many as 15 million children have no place to go once the school bell rings. These children are at greater risk of engaging in risky or criminal behavior. Kids who are in afterschool programs, meanwhile, do better in school and have greater expectations for the future.
The obesity prevention campaign with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services promotes healthier living by encouraging Americans to incorporate more physical activity and healthier eating into their lives through small, manageable steps. Launched in 2004, the ads show typical families finding love handles, double chins, and other unwanted body parts in public places because, well, watch!

A floating fire ant raft is pushed down on the surface of water
A cluster of fire ants floating on the surface of water is pushed down with a pair of tweezers. Note the deflection of the water surface and how water does not penetrate the raft.
In the previous video a raft of fire ants floating on the surface of water was pushed down using a pair of tweezrs. In this video the ant raft is fully submerged and forms a ball like shape while retaining a pocket of air inside the ant cluster. The ants you see are underwater and the shimmery light around the cluster is the interface between water and air with the air being inside the ant cluster. This video shows how the ant ball is water proof.

The T-Mobile Royal Wedding
Watch the wedding entrance dance to top all wedding entrance dances. T-Mobile's Royal Wedding Dance celebrates the marriage of William and Kate with the help of a host of royal look alikes and music from East 17! T-Mobile wishes William and Kate a long and happy marriage.
The Holy Gospel of the Easter Rabbit
It's one of the eternal questions: What do bunnies, chocolate and colored eggs have to do with Jesus rising from the grave? Finally, someone had the courage to reveal the story of Jeshua Cottontail, who was sent from heaven to die for the sins of animals everywhere. It's a wonder the story isn't more widely known: our pets have their own doctors, psychiatrists, insurance plans and parks...why shouldn't they have their own messiah?
And as if learning about the animal savior wasn't enough, this cartoon also explains why dogs can't eat chocolate. As a side note, it's worth mentioning that while this is perfectly safe for work, it's probably NSFC (not save for church), due to its, oh, let's just say mildly blasphemous content. Happy Easter!
