The Interrobang Celebrates Two Years
It’s been two years The Interrobang launched with a quote by Kerouac, so we took a look at the last 365 days, and picked some of our favorite posts, people and places of the year. Last year we posted the first annual IBang Awards. And we’ve got all new ones this year. Congratulations to the big winners.

The “Oooops What Happened to My Clothes” Award:
Every year Hollywood starlets are out and about when the worst thing happens – their vagina spills out of their evening gown or their nipple becomes exposed to the cold night air. Last year, nobody could come close to Katy Perry’s bathing suit malfunction. This year, congratulations belong to Oscar winner Anne Hathaway! With a full frontal vagina shot during award season, she was just impossible to beat. Anne Hathaway Exposed! Runner Up kudos to Katy Perry (back in the top 3!) and Mila Kunis.

The “Batshit-Crazy-Pussy” Award: Dunkin Donuts Chick
We can’t compete with last year’s true Crazy Pussy winner: Cam Girl Loses Her Shit. So this year we went with a different kind of Crazy. We went with the worst most hatable person on the internet, and came up with the young lady who made it her business to lambaste, humiliate and verbally beat down a Dunkin’ Donuts crew is without a doubt the most crazy, lunatic and hateable person to hit YouTube in a long time. The fact that she thought it was a good idea to upload this, that she thought she was in the right locks this category up for this raging delusional psychopath crazy. Worst Person Ever vs Dunkin Donuts Worker.
- Runner Up awards for the girlfriend who wanted to go to the lake. She really wants to go.

Most Useful Website of the Year Award: NoHomoPhobes.com
Ever wonder how many other F bomb get dropped over the course of a day on Twitter? Well this is for you. In case you forgot about it, this website will give you the lowdown on homophobic slurs – in real time! Nothing’s been this revolutionary since DARPA net. The Anti-Homophobia Website is Downright Hypnotic.

The Kickstarter Fail of the Year: Paul O Wants Money
He’s big, he’s bad, and he wants your money. It’s the scary, existential, brilliant and nonsensical Mr. Paul O. There were other fails this year, some pretty big but there is no runner up for this video, and never will be. Even the kickstarter for a 13 foot tall t-rex with Christopher Walken’s head did better than Paul did. He’s locked this category up for all time. Famed director of Gap seeks 20k.

The “Black Women Talking About Penis” Award: Tie!
Once is a coincidence, twice is a trend. Explicit penis talking is taking a hold on the female African American demo and the Interrobang is all over it. How can you possibly pick a winner between these two women? We’re all winners once we take a listen to what the these ladies got. Watch “Dick Will Make You Slap Somebody” and see a “Great Grandmother Talk About Turning 100….And Dick.”

The “Great White Slide Award”: White Slide Bride
The White Slide has been long and tumultuous, like a runaway train blacked out on Four Loko and bath salts. This year the Great White Slide took a giant slide forward, easily beating last years’ Hillbilly Neighbors Fighting, and Guy Shooting Fireworks From His Dick. There are plenty of awful white people out there this year, but nothing can beat The White Slide Bride.
- Very close behind the White Slide Bride you’ll find G.O.A.T. and Your M.O.M. waiting in the wings with Quack Like a Duck. Watch it here.

The “Worst Judgement by Young White Kids” Award: White Girls in Black Face Talk in Ebonics
There are plenty of bad ideas we saw this year by kids. There were the kids who decided to crash into an ex-NFL player’s house and throw a party. There were We had to watch this twice just to believe it really happened. These ladies really did their families and their race proud with the absolute worst idea on the internet this year.

The “I Never Want to See This Again Award”: Bear Grylls Tweets Snake Bite
You probably didn’t think it was possible to beat the Syrian Buried Alive video from last year and maybe you wouldn’t want to. So we’ll go in the other direction and say the post we never want to see again, is Bear Grylls god awful disgusting Snake Bite photo.
- But if you’re talking atrocities, this year had plenty. It’s still really shitty out there, as you can see in this year’s Footage of Egyptian Violence.
- And you probably don’t want to watch Security Video Shows Two Nurses Sexually Assaulting a 98 Year Old Stroke Victim

The “Bad Boy Award” for the Worst Behaving Police Officers of the Year: Chief Kessler
We get more stories about cops behaving badly every year than almost every other category. Either somebody is caught on camera shooting a dog, tasing someone, using too much force, denying someone’s rights , acting inappropriately, or breaking down the wrong door. Last year, nothing could beat Man Shot 22 Times in Botched SWAT Raid. This year, we picked a different kind of Bad Boy for the award. It’s the off-the-rails, now former Chief of Police Kessler.

The “Craziest Video Involving Police Award”: Crazy Bastard Opens Up on Cops with an AK47
This year, as fucked up as the cops were, the perps were even crazier, and the worst ‘caught on video’ confrontation with the law goes to this lunatic. It’s Graphic. Its Crazy. It’s “Crazy Bastard Opens Up on Cops with an AK47.

The “Creepiest Photographer But We’re Not Complaining” Award: Terry Richardson
We don’t know how he does it (well we have some suspicions) but nobody in the business gets more of the girls we want to see naked– naked. Finishing so strong with spreads of Miley Cyrus’s vagina and the ridiculous body of Playboy’s Miss July, there’s no photographer who’s had a better year than Mr. Terry Richardson. Congratulations Terry to your great follow up to 2012. Here are some of Terry’s highlights of the last 52 weeks. Kate Upton Outtakes, Lady Gaga, Lady Gaga 2, Cindy Crawford, Miss July, Miley Cyrus,

The “I Went Viral Cause I’m All Fucked Up and Was On the News” Award: Charles Ramsay
You could argue that this award belongs to Kai the Hitchhiker, but really, he fell out of the running when he went to prison on murder charges. Charles Ramsay, on the other hand, was at the right place at the right time, and now his rise to fame has led to free lunches all over town for him, and catch phrases for life for us. We’ll be waiting to see Charles Ramsay’s future in infomercials, like 2012 winner Sweet Brown. Charles Ramsay’s Viral Interview.
* * *
The “See, Celebrities Can Be Sweet” Award: Mila Kunis
Who cares about junket interviews? No one should, really. Yet the big movie studios keep sending out their talent to do one after another and they almost never lead to anything good. But this year, Mila Kunis humored a shy British boy, and made us all go awwwwwww. She is by far, the coolest person to get weird with during an interview. Mila Kunis Humors an Awkward Interviewer. Nobody else was nice enough to be a runner up for this one, so we picked our other favorite junket interview moments from the past year.

The “Kate Who?” Award Goes to: Samba Dancing Girl
Last Year, Kate Upton won our “Woman We Can’t Take Our Eyes Off Of” award. And she would again this year, but we found Samba Dancing Girl. And the Samba looks a lot better than the cat daddy. Dancing Snack: This Latina Can Move, Samba Dancing Girl is Back (NSFW)

The News Stories That Had You Glued to Your Computer
For better or worse we saw the internet come together this past year to do their own detective work in times of crisis in America. Two high profile news stories especially come to mind. When police officer Chris Dornerwent rogue, killing multiple people and going on the run, he divided the nation. Some thought he was set up, while others took him for a rabid killer. Whatever you thought, you had to have been glued to online police scanners and any updates you could get your hands on until his final moments in a burnt out cabin surrounded by police.
The internet pulled off some detective work again when the Boston Marathon bombing took place. Going over the countless photos and video of the event, internet detectives attempted to identify who the bombers were. Unfortunately they were wrong and mainstream news sources wrongly accused certain people of being the culprits. Once the bombers were identified it was on to attempt to get the best news possible out of Boston. When the bombers were found and the manhunt ensued, no one could tare their eyes away from their computer screen.
Some of the other giant stories this year that were so big you’d never forget them (until the next story comes along), Ariel Castro got caught, sentenced, and died in prison; the George Zimmerman Trial, 19 Firefighters Killed in Arizona, Aaron Hernandez Arrested, the rise and fall of Kai the Hitchhiker, Supreme Ct Strikes Down Doma, We Lost James Gandolfini, Hurricane Sandy, Sandy Hook, the Pope resigned and we got a new Pope, Blade Runner Arrested, Manti Teo had a girlfriend and then didn’t, and uhoh, what happened with Elmo?
