Screen caps like the one above are popping up like cicadas on Twitter right now, and, yes, that is quite the hilarious shirt for someone to be seen wearing in an interview on CNN. If this was Devin the Spring Breaker or Devin the unemployed blogger that lives at home with his parents, that would be one thing.

But given the circumstances, this is Devin Anderson, the guy who is taking a quick break from digging through debris and destroyed houses to try to rescue people who are missing in the wake of today’s horrific tornadoes in Oklahoma and help others find their families or loved ones, so you know what? Let’s not take away from what he’s doing because his shirt is funny.

As far as I’m concerned, this dude can wear whatever the hell he wants.

The White House has already issued a statement and President Barack Obama has spoken with Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin, offering any help necessary.

As I’ve been glued to KFOR’s live tornado coverage for the last hour or so, reporters on the scenes in Oklahoma City and Moore have been using very basic terms like “gone” and “just dirt” to describe the devastation following today’s estimated EF4 or EF5 storms. Search and rescue missions are currently underway, as people are combing through the remains of homes and commercial buildings, including schools, to try to find people. Information is very sparse right now, but Oklahoma City’s news stations and sources are working to deliver accurate information, and KFOR just reported that there are six confirmed fatalities. (UPDATE: The death toll is now believed to be 30, as 24 children are believed to be deceased in the Plaza Towers Elementary School rubble.)

KFOR’s chief meteorologist Mike Morgan took a moment to compare today’s tornadoes to those of the Oklahoma outbreak from between May 3 and May 6, 1999, and he estimated that the severity and power of today’s weather events could be three times as powerful. In that storm, an estimated 72 tornadoes were created, with the strongest being a category F5. And, as you can see in the image above, the paths then and now were somewhat similar.

Like any good meme, the Harlem Shake was old before it even had a chance to be young, probably because of the fact that the dance being performed in thousands upon thousands of videos was not actually the Harlem Shake. But a little thing like accuracy has never stopped the Internet from creating something and then exploiting and milking it into complete nothingness until it’s nothing but an email that your mom will send to you in eight months.

And so we thought that we had seen the end of the Harlem Shake several weeks ago when one attempt at this zany fad resulted in a person falling into a massive campfire. Alas, the memo hasn’t made the full rounds, as we have a new Harlem Shake video on YouTube, and it ends rather similarly to that last one.

If you were in the mood for a trip down memory lane today, then this might be just the song you were looking for: SoundCloud user Dr. Brixx has created “Middle School” as the ultimate mash-up of some of the most popular and beloved pop punk and rock songs of the last 15 years or so, including genre icons like Blink-182, Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Yellowcard and the recently disbanded My Chemical Romance.

In all, Dr. Brixx – medical degree verification pending – used 41 songs to complete this masterpiece, which you can either try singing along to after the jump or pretend that you never liked any of these songs, bro.

Yes. The answer to the question posed in the headline should be yes. At least if you’re anything like me and you love both celebrities and bobbleheads.

In that case, Imgur user “samuelorsaumell” answered the question after Photoshop and boredom led him to take some of the Internet’s most beloved actors and (mostly) actresses and turn them into bobbleheads. While the GIF versions are certainly delightful and should be celebrated by the world, all of the pictures are strangely wonderful.
