Killing time like a Baws

I've been working the past couple of weeks in NW's Editorial department (you know, that weekly celebrity gossip mag, the one that prides itself on its Kardashian knowledge *cough*).

It's safe to say that I’ve had a fair amount of time on my hands - cue the internet.
YouTube is great for killing time, but there's only a certain amount of videos i can write off as 'research' before their other office dwellers start to question 'what exactly are you doing?'
I've since dabbled in a few other sites which when rotated around make me look like a very studious and vigilant worker.
Below are golden time-wasting nuggets. Peruse now, thank me later:


1. Texts from Bennett

This dude gets these texts from his 17-year-old cousin Bennett, who is a white boy under the impression he's a Crip. They are of an extremely derogatory nature to women, especially his girlfriend 'Mercedes', they entail his thoughts on hand jobs, tattoos and just being a 'straight up hustla'.

It's so bloody hilarious. All i can think about is a pre-pubescent Vanilla Ice behind the texts.



2. The Awkward Lean

A collation of photos submitted by the public of the phenomenon taking over in photos - the awkward lean. You know that chick that has her hand on her hip, pout in full form and leaning her head, nay her entire upper body in a contortionist like way? This is dedicated to her.

What makes it better is the usually unintentionally narcissistic captions which accompany the posts.





With an opening line like "My name is Tucker Max, and I'm an asshole" you just know you're in for a treat.
A collection of one man's antics and sexual adventures have since resulted in book deals, movies and something to do with MTV.
Mr Max recounts story after story of his misendevours. There's one about a midget convention, getting drunk and ending up with sushi pants, and college based road trips, all usually revolving around his sex life.
He's crass, arrogant and by golly he's got a massive.....ego. But the man knows how to tell a good story.





It's obvious. Everyone loves it. Hours of entertainment courtesy of others miscomfort.





David Thorne. What to say about the man. He is possibly the biggest smart-ass out there. And if his antagonising nature isn’t directed at you he is one funny fella.
It's pretty much a site that showcases instances where he has put himself in a situation where he can mouth of to someone of lesser intelligence. Which is most people. Because he seems to be super smart.
He deals with consumer complaints with cartoons of cats, tries to settle a Blockbuster overdue bill with a drawing of a spider, hassles a bible studies teacher because of a permission slip, brings the office secretary to what I’m presuming is close to tears all because of a 'missing pet' sign. But the best is his constant antagonising of Simon Dempsey. Their relationship is as close to Jim and Dwight from The Office as one could hope. It even includes scans of 10 formal complaints Simon has made against David, they include changing his business card from Graphic Designer to Horse Whisper.






Honorable mention goes to - Ryan Gosling Vs Puppy:

An entire Tumblr site comparing photos of Ryan Gosling and puppies in a quest of answering the question: Is Ryan Gosling cuter than a puppy.

For comedic relief on this otherwise stalker-ish site, each picture is very like-minded, for easy comparison i guess....
