The team from Vice Magazine explore the Great Eastern Garbage Patch - an enormous build-up of plastics and garbage located in the Pacific, north of the Hawaiian Islands. This journey takes us through one of the most remote stretches of water in the world, thousands of miles from land, where literally tons of garbage and non-recycleable plastic are sucked into this area from the encircling currents. When you see the samples of water they take, you will realize how bad this problem is... we really need to protect our Mother Earth and start being much more conscious of what we do with our waste. view

This finally settles the age-old question: can birds play electric guitar? This clip, created as an art piece for the Barbican Centre in London, isn't exactly musically accurate (as in, the little chirpers aren't really doing anything), but it sure is cute. view

Who could've guessed that Jill and Kevin's marriage would be so short-lived? Just days after the wedding, they've filed for divorce. And as sad as that is, it could be worse... they could have done it the boring way. But NO! They're doing it the Jill and Kevin way! Oh yeah, they're on another level. And for those of you who are just catching up, here is the original JK Wedding Entrance Dance. view

Filmmaker-turned-author Guillermo del Toro describes his forthcoming "Strain" trilogy, his passion for vampires, and the specific inspiration for the books. And it's not just any old vampire. Del Toro has very high standards when it comes to the undead, and the trilogy sounds great. view
