Get Smart

Elizabeth Smart proves she's smarter, more graceful than Nancy Grace.

The story: kidnapping survivor Elizabeth Smart goes on Nancy Grace’s CNN show to promote sex-offender legislation, and Grace digs for prurient details and cues the tears for victims everywhere with lines like, “You were such a little girl.”

Smart proves her humanity not by guiding us through the mind of the child-victim, but by rolling her eyes and changing the subject. “I’m not here to give an interview on that. I’m here to push this bill through,” she reprimands Grace, who can’t resist one more little dig before dropping her shovel.

Daredevil stoners steal giant buds from "Weeds" promo

Parents and regulators may not approve of Showtime’s unsubtle ad campaign promoting the second season of “Weeds,” but it took a bunch of thieving stoners to do something about it. Shortly after debuting on a New Zealand highway, a billboard sporting some giant dimebags filled with green moss had paraphernalia-craving passersby leaping for handfuls of the stuff. The security camera that brought us this highlight clip was meant to ward off vandals, but installing an oversized Tetris console might’ve been wiser. (Via Best Week Ever.)
