CULTURE BUZZ – Japanese dome houses look like igloos and are made from a styrofoam that is “highly resistant” to earthquakes, fires, and typhoons. I picture a whole family of Bjorks crawling out of one of these.

CULTURE BUZZ – Whoa, look at Crazy Tim! He’s takin’ a bath in the sink! Now he’s getting us all fired from Burger King! Timothy Tackett (aka “Mr.UNST@BL3”) took down the MySpace video that got him and two other employees fired from an Ohio Burger King, but this weekend he put it on YouTube. Smart move, Tim.

MUSIC BUZZ – Signed to Bad Boy Records by some guy named Diddy, the Atlanta native’s spacey style, “afro-punk” sound, and rabid attitude are catching the ears of many just in time for her EP to drop.

TV BUZZ – I cannot stop watching this dude’s videos in which he poorly attempts to sing TV show theme songs, adding an errie, bizarre, or downright tragic motif. The brilliance here is that while he might very well be in on the joke, his super-magnified eyeglasses lenses may not.

SPORTS BUZZ – 24-year-old Janos Baranyai won’t be going home with any medals from the Olympics. This just looks so incredibly painful! The strangest part of the video, though, is just after Baranyai collapses on the mat in leg-shaking pain and a group of helpful Chinese assistants rush out to block him from view.
