Five Things You Had to See Online This Week

This week in “Thanks, Internet” — extreme cookie decorating, Stephen Colbert on the Roof, and Curb Your Christiewin the internet this week.

1.Cookie Cravings

These are some serious cookie #goals.

2.Bad CruzReading

Is it just me or does this make more sense than any of the real ads? The folks at Bad Lip Readinghave turned out some gemsin the past, but this Ted Cruz ad might be their masterpiece.

3.Miracle of Miracles

Forget Hamilton, I cannot wait to see Stephen Colbert on Broadway.

4.Don’t Lose Your Marbles

Sometimes it takes 2,000 steel marbles to get the sound you want. Martin Molin’s Rube Goldberg machine of instruments, the Wintergatan Marble Machine, is wonderfully and completely over-the-top.

5.Curb Your Christie


God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her, and guide her, through the fight with the white guy above.

(Thanks, Sean!)
