Taylor Swift Helps This Guy Score a Date

Ever since Taylor Swift hit the scene, it’s never been easier to break up with someone. Just hit the play button on any of her recent tracks and your significant other will know that you are never ever getting back together.

Not only does she kiss and tell, but she sings it from the rooftop if you do her wrong.

But can the ultimate breakup gal help you start your own love story?

This fan put Swift’s lyrics to the test and found that in real life, baby doesn’t just say yes and you don’t belong together. And if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again — just like this charmingly awkward guy.

And if you still can’t find romance, you and Taylor can share teardrops over her guitar.

New York City Subway Needs a ‘System Restore’ [PIC]

Yes, crashed Windows OS, we know the New York City subway system was unable to restart after Hurricane Sandy. And, yes, we would love to run a system restore.

After Sandy ravaged the East Coast Monday evening, the subway system in New York City was left crippled. Not immune to inclement weather, the Windows-based display above the 77th Street subway stop seemed to have hit a snag as well.

An 80-foot inflatable tree in Paris looks a lot like a giant butt plug

Shield your eyes, art aficionados.

A giant inflatable sculpture was erected in Place Vendôme in Paris, France, on Oct. 16, and ever since, it has been making waves for locals and tourists alike. The reason may be fairly obvious: The sculpture, called “Tree,” looks suspiciously like giant butt plug.

Paul McCarthy’s piece of art, which measures roughly 80 feet tall, was installed as part of a contemporary art fair. Despite McCarthy’s insistence that his work is simply meant to resemble a Christmas tree, people can’t keep their minds out of the gutter.

Some, including those from a movement called the “French Spring” (Printemps Français), were humiliated by the installation.

(Rough translation: Place Vendome is disfigured! Paris is humiliated!)

But others can’t take enough hilarious pictures of themselves hanging out next to a giant sex toy in a public square.

McCarthy’s art has come under fire before, according to the Daily Mail, which noted his history of taking innocent icons (such as Santa Claus, below) and reimagining them in a risqué context.

It’s hard to imagine this sculpture’s sexually suggestive appearance was merely a coincidence, but either way, you can’t help but feel a bit awkward. Especially if you’re reading this at work.
