Rick Steves.

​St. Louis's most awesomely objectionable hip hop collective, King Kong Magnetics, dropped a serious mixtape earlier this week, entitled Bommarito Cash Orgy. They deal with current issues like foreclosure ("You broke ass, you white trash, good for nothing with your f***ing torn up shirt, your overall stinkin' shit,"), buying American, and even devoted a track to the late Osama bin Laden ("We killed that little bitch in his homo-ass cave"), and it's fourteen tracks of wildly offensive satire that will have you laughing hard enough to shoot soy milk from your nostrils. Assuming you're drinking soy milk, otherwise you need a doctor.

Jake Jones Rick Steves took some time out of his afternoon of eating black bean dip to talk about Danny Tanner's pussy, what he'd do with a large hadron collider, and the 10 other mixtapes they'll be dropping before the year is out.

So, Bommarito Cash Orgy mixtape. It's amazing.

That really ain't nothing, we got some more important ones coming out pretty soon.

What do you mean by more important?

Like a million times, it's just gonna be more important to the world. That's the beginning, that's just a scratch on the surface. We have ten more coming out this year. Literally ten more on the way before 2012.

​Today we bring you the latest news from Walt Winston, who was recently subjected to the America's Got Talent treatment. His friend was so incredibly pumped about this story we're about to share that he called RFT headquarters and freaked out over the phone. Thank you, friend of Walt's, for telling us about the latest travails of the local, charming and bespectacled singer-songwriter who earlier this month challenged traditional notions of both singing and songwriting with his bold entry on America's Got Talent. Those of you at home can begin by watching the clip below, in which he sings a creation of his called "Truck Drivers Aren't Supposed to Cry."

For those about to walk, we salute you.

​The stop sign: One of the most iconic symbols in America. One of only a couple ways to fail your driver's test outright (red lights and also manslaughter are others). "Stop," as it turns out, also appears in plenty of iconic pop songs. Some enterprising felons have taken it upon themselves to improve a few with a little lyrical contextualization. Below are a couple of the best musically graffitied stop signs. And yes -- Vanilla Ice makes an appearance.

I'mma let you finish your movie, alright. But not before I let you know how awesome it would be if you let Kanye up in this mother fucker.

​Kanye West loves dropping movie quotes into his lyrics. With plenty of rhyme but no reason Kanye manages to draw from an impressive range of cinema: everything from Will Ferrell's Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy to Spike Lee's Malcom X. Seriously, what kind of mad genius manages to drop a Happy Gilmore reference in a song about Jesus? Kanye West, that's who.

And with his headline-grabbing persona of madness and absurdity rivaled only by Mr. Johnny-Come-Lately Charlie Sheen, West is tailor-fitted for movie stardom. With that in mind (and considering Hollywood's love of rehashing the classics), we put together these posters touting some potential remakes that would benefit from a little dose of Kanye. We present to you Hollywood, Kanye West style...

​The Ladue News -- the high-society glossy chronicling the upper crust in the St. Louis area -- has a weekly legal column called The Legal Corner. Each week, the column discusses matters such as computer privacy and insurance, and the legal nuances of dealing with them. Last week, however, the Legal Corner tackled an issue of great concern: high school bands.

Yes, the time-honored tradition of being young, bored and needing a creative outlet for your angst is apparently not quite as innocent as you might think. Writes Lisa Watson:

This has been making the rounds of Twitter/Facebook/Tumblr all day. Fitting that the original source appears to be a Tumblr called Future Classics of the Internet -- because yes, this is exactly what this is. Cross a photo of Lionel Richie with the lyrics/premise of his song "Hello," and you get comedy gold. Enjoy:

It's cruel and unusual punishment to have to be inside on such a beautiful day. To make the last few hours of work pass by, here's a parrot named Lolita singing Drowning Pool's "Bodies." Frighteningly well.

Reactions to Arcade Fire winning the Album of the Year Grammy on Sunday night ranged from shock to, "Who?" The latter response especially elicited some hilarious results -- hence the new Tumblr, Who Is Arcade Fire?, which collects these disbelieving quips. Besides one-time hair-metal goddess Tawny Kitaen (pictured above and here), others called out include Rosie O'Donnell and a Fall Out Boy fansite twitter laughing at the AF's "stupid name." (Um. Pot, kettle, black.) Go read. Oh, and AF's performance of "Month of May" is online to view -- check it.

The 2011 Grammy Awards are still going strong, two and a half hours into the broadcast. Jazz bassist/singer Esperanza Spalding just won Best New Artist -- frankly, a huge shock, as she beat out Justin Bieber and she's, uh, not exactly a new artist. (Let's be clear, though: Spalding is deserving of the honor, as she's insanely talented.) Naturally, as soon as she won, some funny pranksters decided to do a time-honored thing: hack inappropriately edit her Wiki page. A few minutes after she won, here's how her page looked:

​Almost immediately, it was taken down. But for a brief moment, anti-Bieberites had their moment in the sun.

​(h/t to Chrissy Wilmes for linking this.) Every so often, a gimmicky Internet site crops up that's legitimately hilarious. Such as When Parents Text, whose tagline is, "small keypads, old hands." The premise is simple: The site collects hilarious text missives from parents about, oh, anything you can think of. The simplicity of the idea is genius, however -- after all, parents are the funniest text-messengers around. (A to Z's dad is always keeping tabs on the weather in St. Louis and letting her know when the Weather Channel is broadcasting from there.)

Of course, the occasions when parents discuss popular music are also often unintentionally hilarious -- especially when done by text. Here are a few examples from the site.

Ke$ha

MOM: How do you pronounce Ke$ha? Like Key"dollar sign"haa.

MOM: Or is it Key"dolla sign"haa, bc that's more hip? Call me and tell me!
