I feel like every time I fill in, I post some sort of “Community” mash-up or song thingy. I get that some of you may not have the love for the show that Matt and I do. That’s fine. But you will NOT disrespect DJ Steve Porter on my watch. Do you hear me? NEVER.

WG Behind the Scenes: When I emailed this story to Matt yesterday, the entire body read “HOLY SH-T. MATT. THIS LINK,” and he responded, “!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.” TNT Orders Pilot About Crime-Solving Dog [Warming Glow]

What? It’s all about her? Doesn’t sound like the Tyra I know. Tyra Banks’ iTunes playlist must be seen to be believed. [Best Week Ever]

Pretty cool… but not Triceratops Dog cool. The Hilarious Photoshops of True American Dog. [UPROXX]

Yes, please. Norm MacDonald wants to write Oscar jokes for Eddie Murphy. I support this kind of thinking. [Saturday-Night-Live]

The Weirdest Thing I’ve Ever Done. Here’s a post I did for With Leather about what I think a bunch of baseball players probably smell like. Nyjer Morgan’s got what plants crave! [With Leather]

I love this bastard. Tumbl on, you crazy douche. Jean-Ralphio from Parks & Recreation is my spirit animal. [EffYeahJeanRalphio]

More links after the jump, including more me and the greatest rap song ever produced.

The 15th cycle of “America’s Next Top Model” debuted last week, and the show has never been less relevant. Nevertheless, it’s still chugging along, Tyra is still enamored with herself, and countless haggard young skinny women still consider it a viable way to begin a modeling career (it isn’t). As Rich from fourfour writes:

[The show's] gift to the world was not a parade of top models, but schadenfreude and general amazement at the things people will do to get on and stay on TV, and that’s not even mentioning the things they do in spite of themselves being on TV. These models may not look always look like models, but their insides are reliably freakish and gangly.

All of that is a too-long way for me to segue into reiterating a message that straight men have been sending the fashion industry for decades: “Big tits good, super-skinny bad.” Regarding the image above, we’ve already met the sickly thin Ann, who weighs less than 100 pounds even though she’s six-foot-two. Doing it MUCH better is Esther (left), who was kind enough to lift up her shirt and display the magic of underwire. But a static picture doesn’t really capture the magic of her assets. To the GIFmobile, Batman!

“The Tyra Banks Show” will end its five-year run this Friday, to which I raise my glass and say, “HUZZAH!” Granted, I don’t cover much daytime television (I prefer to kill my brain cells with alcohol), but I still get caught in her egomaniacal blast radius when she does things like address the issue of women with two vaginas or pretend to be rabid (yes… “pretend”). It will be good to see her go, and I hope her handlers have the good sense to put her down quickly, when she’s not expecting it.

To commemorate the event, “The Soup” honored Tyra’s unrivaled narcissism by creating this supercut of the former model talking about herself. It is, after all, what she does best.

It’s such a shame, too. I would have had such pleasant memories of Tyra if she had just gone away quietly after her modeling career. The lesson, as always: don’t let pretty girls talk. Besides, I think that ball gag is sexy.

This video first surfaced last week, but I didn’t get around to it because I’m not very good at my job. But I’m posting it now because it is by far and away the stupidest thing you’ll witness today, even if you work at retard camp or read “Lost” message boards.

To sum up this clip, Tyra Banks tells her audience that she was bitten by a dog. Then she drinks some water with her back to the camera. Then she foams at the mouth and pretends to be rabid. It’s the sort of overly long, poorly executed gag that I’d expect from a seven-year-old boy who eats paste.

It’s kind of a shame that the stunt wasn’t more believable. If one of the audience members had pulled out a pistol and gone “BLAM!” and scattered Tyra’s brain all over the rest of the audience, that would have been excellent television. I probably would have put the video up a lot sooner, too.

I don’t even want to sully this video with my commentary. Tyra, you are brilliant. Now set me up with one of these women.
