For the past couple weeks, the "Who Killed Hannibal" meme has been doing the rounds. You've probably seen it. It's a two-panel meme. In the first panel, Eric Andre is shooting Hannibal Buress.

A fuzzy rabbit and a clown, garroted by a bungee cord, slump from the front of a Dodge van in Park Slope. Stewie, the evil baby from "Family Guy," scowls from the grille of a Pepperidge Farm delivery truck in Brooklyn Heights, mold occasionally sprouting from his forehead.

Australian pop singer Dannii Minogue has complained about the influx of Asians in Queensland and the liberal policies of British Prime Minister Tony Blair in a bizarre interview with men's magazine GQ. Minogue, the younger sister of the more famous Kylie, was interviewed by newspaper editor Simon Kelner over a £172 ($478) dinner at a French restaurant in London decorated with stuffed animals.
