Mountain Dew recently shut down its “name the new flavor” contest after 4chan easily pranked and hacked it. While the offensive names at the top of the list — Gushing Granny, Fapple, and “Hitler did nothing wrong” — have a certain appeal, I prefer the simple absurdity of these three entries:
Of course the contest is gone now, only after someone hacked the site to read “Mtn Dew salutes the Israeli Mossad for demolishing 3 towers on 9/11!” which is… not subtle, but effective.
Dan Wilkerson trolls Starcraft II multiplayer games, then posts them on Reddit. He’s also done a series of Starcraft trolls for Slacktory: Zerg Scientologists, a Terran Occupy movement, and now a Protoss HAL 9000.

Thank you for the universal praise for “20 Guys Trying to Bang a Total Psycho on OkCupid“! We’re proud of every commenter ever for recognizing comedy, irony and hyperbole! Everyone saw clearly how the butt of the joke is Marla herself, because we explained it super-clearly because we’re very professional and perfect. As a reward, here are 12 more conversations with Marla, a crazy person made up for a fake OkCupid account.
Because OkCupid decided this joke was too good to let slowly devolve into a tired gag, they’ve closed Marla’s account. This will be the last-ever collection of Marla’s OkCupid conversations until she makes another account.
The world is fucked. If you are single, you’re fucked. If you’re married, you’re probably going to get divorced, so you’re fucked too. Online dating is taking over, and it’s as bad as everyone says it is. The general population is morphing into lazy, fake, desperate, and creepy weirdoes on the internet, and I did a little experiment to prove it.
I made a fake profile on OkCupid based on a character I created, named Marla. Here’s what Marla’s profile looked like. Please note that in my profile picture, you can’t see my face, boobs, butt, or anything that would indicate that I’m physically attractive whatsoever. Oh come on, that’s a hot shoulder. — Ed.
The goal was to be as incredibly weird, rude, and unattractive as possible to see if guys would still talk to me. Seriously, who would waste more than 0.05 seconds on this white trash bitch? A LOT OF PEOPLE, APPARENTLY.
Darius Groza has fun with tourists in Pisa, set to Richard Cheese’s jaunty cover of “Creep”.
Do we have a problem here?
I like to think of this as a functional video for pasting into a forum. Like trollface stretched out for a full minute.

The Associated Press tweeted yesterday: “Are you a dog owner? AP would like to talk to you for an article. Please email jnoveck@ap.org or call 212-621-7115.”
They deleted the tweet, according to their media relations director, because their reporter got “inundated with emails and calls.” Meanwhile, other fake journalists teased them:
hazing ritual? RT @ap: Are you a dog owner? AP would like to talk to you for an article. Please email jnoveck@ap.org or call 212-621-7115.

In the message I left the @ap, I made it clear that I am not a dog OWNER, per se, but a canine companion and caretaker
