Sometimes we don't need a reason to do something. And if that something happens to be nonsensical, stupid and without any considered thought, then so be it. More often than not, it will be amusing in some way and coupled with the ability to film and virally distribute these random acts of stupidity, we have ourselves fast food funny stuff.
Exhibit A: Best Vines Compilation May
We stumbled across this on Lol zeitgeist Brown Cardigan (which if you've never checked out, please do). Refer to the above in regards to questioning why we've chosen to show this to you. It's Friday and the mood took us. Enjoy.
Have I been in suspended animation for 20 years? Because that girl Winona Ryder has NOT AGED.
Appearing in
Interview, the 41-year-old babe of our lives looks exactly like her old
Heathers/
Edward Scissorhands/
Reality Bites self, laying on expensive furniture in expensive clothes with an expensive looking haircut.
Look at that skin! Is this woman a witch? WAS
THIS A DOCUMENTARY?
Look, I'm not usually in the business of saying "She looks so young! She looks so old! Let's talk about the way everyone looks and decide if it's OK!". And really, I'd love Winona no matter what she looked like. But I cannot.stop.looking.at.these.photos.
I need to lie down.

Ryan Gosling. The source of so much internet lols, celeb crushes (both man and woman), good movies, ok movies and enough charm to soften the blackened heart of Judith Sheindlin.
However, his acting ability is never really doused with the exposing glare of a spotlight. Until now that is.
Janelle Monae and Erykah Badu did a song together and it rules.
The video for "Q.U.E.E.N." takes place in the Living History Museum, where legendary rebels are frozen for observation by future generations. Someone puts a record on, and suddenly Janelle and Erykah come to life! And they sing about feminism! And dance like bosses! And wear wigs!
So Ben Kingsley. He won an Oscar for
Sexy Beast, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was knighted by the Queen. He seems like a pretty OK guy, right?
Wrong! Well, maybe.
Ben Kingsley, or The Kings, seems to have a rare free pass when it comes to playing characters of different races. Everyone still cringes when they see Mickey Rooney's performance as
I.Y. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's and if you're going to go blackface (and aren't Robert Downey Junior in Tropic Thunder/on Hey, Hey It's Saturday!) you'll basically never work again.
But The Kings (who has an English mother and Indian father) has managed to play a
Jewish-German accountant, a
Persian prince,
Gandhi and a
Chinese super villain called 'The Mandarin'. And that apparently is TOTALLY FINE.
Why is that The Kings gets a free pass to play any race that he feels like, but no one else does? We're not complaining, its just got us curious.
Our brothers and sisters in New Zealand have kicked off their jandals and filled up the chilly bin, because this week a joyous celebration is taking place! You've probably heard by now that on Wednesday NZ parliament
legalised gay marriage, a massive step for marriage equality in Australia and the international community.
They're happy, we're happy and to be honest, in these times of doom and gloom it's really nice to have something to be stoked about.
LET'S CELEBRATE!
