Decembrow 
Aol News


A feminist group has begun to spread the idea of 'Decembrow' by promoting women to grow out their eyebrows to promote "being open minded about looks." Another part of Decembrow is to promote people to donate to any type of charity. And how is this supposed to be spread around the world? People are supposed to take pictures of their unibrow and post it on social networking sites to encourage others to partake in the 'Decembrow' celebration.

Facebook Police
New York Times


In Palo, Alto California, Mark Zuckerberg (founder of Facebook) suits up for the job everyday. Instead of sporting a blue button down and a badge, he wears shorts and flip flops. Is he a police? No, but a monitor? Of course. Some people say that Facebook is too slow to respond to issues and do not do enough to prevent certain abuses, like bullying. However, Mark does his best to watch out what people can write on others wall's by flagging specific words.

Santa Claus Is Coming to Town
Bergen Record


Ho ho ho! Happy Christmahannahkwanzika. Steve Tuch thought that just as much as Christians deserve Santa Claus climbing down their chimney and leaving presents under the tree, Jews deserve someone a little more exciting then 'Hanukah Harry.' Therefore, he invented 'Gefilte Fish Guy', which didn't end too well. Later in the year, the Jew dressed as Santa Claus and his moment of fame was when the boy sitting in his lap in Paramus Park, New Jersey said, "Hey, look at that," he exclaimed 'It's Gefilte-Fish Guy!'" So, from the Gefilte-Fish-Guy, "Happy Christmahannahkwanzika!"
