When Jesse Jackson’s comments about Barack Obama broke yesterday evening, the true attraction for us wasn’t the story itself, but the beautiful awkwardness of watching every cable news anchor struggle to explain the story without being able to say one specific word.

AOL Food lays the slamdangle down on McDonald’s Third Pounder Angus Mushroom and Swiss today.

Grade: F
Our food editor’s husband proclaimed that he’d just had the worst burger in all the land, so naturally, we had no choice but to sample for ourselves. Turns out he was wrong. It was in fact the absolute, most extremely, terribly, awfully horrible burger in the known universe.

The industrial mushrooms had the flavor and mouth appeal of a sneaker insole, while earwaxen Swiss cheese and globbed-on mayo formed a thick slick which was, truth be told, necessary in order to moisten the throat sufficiently to swallow the spongy gray mass that was being hawked as an Angus patty.

Bad things happen when McD’s tries to get schmancy, and they beefed this one badly.

This delightful sum up of the June 17th 08 edition of the Factor is a series of cheap shots, but not too cheap to where it’s not hilarious. Sure chooses lines cut to convey a stereotype about the show to people who don’t watch it, but it’s still funny. The dig at Karl Rove made me giggle too.

Another poll confirming that the overwhelming majority of Americans believe in God. Even the atheists??

Most Americans believe that angels and demons are active in the world, and nearly 80 percent think miracles occur, according to a poll released yesterday that takes an in-depth look at Americans’ religious beliefs.

The study detailed Americans’ deep and broad religiosity, finding that 92 percent believe in God or a universal spirit — including one in five of those who call themselves atheists. More than half of Americans polled pray at least once a day.

But Americans aren’t rigid about their beliefs. Most of those studied — even many of the most religiously conservative — have a remarkably nonexclusive attitude toward other faiths. Seventy percent of those affiliated with a religion believe that many religions can lead to eternal salvation. And only about one-quarter of those surveyed believe there is only one way to interpret their religion’s teachings.

This cracks me up.

Obviously a sign promoting the upcoming Will Smith movie Hancock, in which he plays - well, ok, nevermind. I’m ruining it by explaining it. Just enjoy. =)

This makes me want to cry a little. If you want to believe in world peace for just a few minutes: watch and belieeeeve….

UPDATE: WAIT… before you watch it… if you havent seen the original, watch that one first:

Outtakes:

I like the emotion in Eve (the chick robot)’s reaction to what she thinks is Wall-E’s death.
