The Funniest Moments From the 2013 White House Correspondents’ Dinner
The annual White House Correspondents' dinner took place this past weekend, and it was a delight. We honestly think it was probably the best performance at one of these dinners since Stephen Colbert roasted George W. Bush right in front of him (this makes us cringe a little bit less though). Only we aren't talking about Conan O'Brien -- we're talking about President Obama, who really hammed it up this year.

Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 5 GIF Recap
We're halfway through the third season of 'Game of Thrones,' and things slowed down a little bit for last night's episode. Granted, there were still sword fights, executions and lots and lots of sex, but unless a dragon had blown up another city, anything was basically guaranteed to feel like a step down after the insanity of episode four. Let's take a look at what happened. (As always, spoilers ahead. Also, it's a HBO show with a lot of violence and other naughty things. So NSFW unless you work for King Joffrey.

We are more than slightly enamored with Maryland sorority sister Rebecca Martinson's insane-o email that went viral last week, which led to dramatic readings performed by everyone from Michael Shannon to Barbie.
So we made these mash-ups with female characters from 'Game of Thrones,' both to put a face to this deranged email, and because Rebecca Martinson has resigned from her post at Delta Gamma, and this is how we choose to remember her -- as all the crazy chicks from one of our favorite shows.

Reporter Shuts Down Double Kiss Video Bomb
We are so glad Boston field reporter Mike Tobin denied these two girls who attempted to plant one on either cheek while he was in the middle of a report. What kind of person goes up to somebody who's broadcasting a report about a terrorist attack and tries to interrupt it by getting smoochy?

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 3, Episode 4 Recapped in GIFs
Holy moly, *this* was an episode of 'Game of Thrones.' We actually, honestly said many expletives out loud watching it last night. When it was over we felt a little bit like somebody crashed a pair of cymbals right over our head.

And remember, it's a HBO show filled with violence and nudity, so some of these GIFs are NSFW. Also, SPOILERS. Obvs.
