| Escape fantasies realized in a click By Angela Natividad Wake up, go to work, come home. Wake up, go to work, come home. It's an invariable grind that's almost impossible to see past.

| Carmichael Lynch teams up with Funny or Die By David Kiefaber Jack Link's, makers of Squatch beef jerky (as well as the suggestively named Hot Squatch), premiered their first-ever music video on Funny or Die, because I guess that's what that website does now. Starring Broadway and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star Tituss Burgess, the video, created with help from Carmichael Lynch, is called "Coolin' Down With... Read more » |

| Marcus Thomas slow-mo's a new campaign By David Gianatasio Sometimes, winning as little as $50 can make you feel like a million bucks. And that's a good thing, because the odds of scratching an Ohio Lottery instant game ticket and finding a seven-figure payout are mighty slim indeed.
