the perfect gift

With Christmas only a week away, we thought we'd give a quick lesson on how to act when you get a less-than-desired present from a distant relative.

If you can summon half of the energy and enthusiasm that this kid displayed upon getting his dream gift, you're sure to move up a few spots on rich Uncle Chester's will.

Feel Like Michael Jackson!

Just in time for the holidays, you can purchase the Simmon Steamer for only $55.

Watch out, it might make you feel like Michael Jackson.  (We're not sure what that means, either.)

The Holiday For The Rest of Us

Prepare yourself for tonight's Seinfeld Festivus marathon (starting at 8/7c on TBS) by watching the five things you should know about the holiday that eats other holidays for lunch.

The sixth thing you should know is this: It's never too late to send a Festivus ecard!

The internet has never been more disturbing.

USA! USA!

The Daily Flog does not often venture in to the world of sports, but this event is too important to ignore.

The World Beard Championships are just around the corner, and Team USA is in desperate need of new recruits. The USA has long been the whipping boy in international follicle competition. This year there is a new team leader and a renewed sense of hope. Watch out Brighton, England, the pride is back!

Bottle Ballad

While we at the Daily Flog don't recommend drinking to excess over the holidays, we can say we stand solidly behind the concept of recycling whatever cans and bottles you do work your way through.

So if you happen to have a few dozen wine bottles left over in a few weeks, why not use them to make beautiful music like this guy did?

The Japanese continue to innovate.

Here at the the Daily Flog, we thought there was no mode of transportation as emasculating as the motor scooter. The Japanese proved us wrong.

Cats Rule The Internet

The Daily Flog scientific staff has determined that 51% of the Internet is now pictures and videos of cats. Cats owners seem to believe that every facet of an their animal's life should be saved for posterity.

The sites range from the slightly sinister Cats That Look Like Hitler

to the sickeningly sweet Kitten Falling Asleep

and finally the cruel and absurd Custom Tailored Cat Clothes

Maybe one day the Internet will be reclaimed by educational and uplifting content like this.

The Forbes Fictional 15

Have you ever wondered who was richer, Scrooge McDuck or Mr. Burns? Well, lucky for you, the good folks at Forbes magazine have put together a list of the Top 15 Richest Fictional Characters.

We were a bit surprised by the fact that Lex Luthor didn't make the list. (Though the current #1 looks a lot like him.)

Prank'd

Ashton Kutcher is running out of celebrities to catch on film.
