Charity Bribes uses donations to pressure celebrities to do things. Right now you can bribe Larry David to join Twitter by donating to the NRDC. If he does it, the money goes to the charity. If not, he’ll just have to find some way to live with himself.

Been building this with Chris Baker and William Burks Spencer for some time. Hopefully giving to charity will now be just a little more awesome.

“If you want to really hurt your parents, and you don’t have the nerve to be gay, the least you can do is go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.” — A Man Without a Country, 2005

Jimmy Kimmel told parents to tell their kids they ate all of their Halloween candy and record their reaction.

Unlike all of the other kids who cried instantly and insulted their parents, these kids are totally the best. I hope I grow up to be as cool as them someday.

3:59 is the best.
