Yes, this is totally real! KUM is a leave-in hair conditioner, and it was recently spotted at a Dollar Giant store. The directions tell you to “harvest the power of KUM” – and the tagline is… drumroll please… “Love It & Leave It!” The artistic design down the side of the bottle is pretty priceless, too.
Right about now, sluts all over the world are giggling to themselves and thinking: “why would I pay a whole dollar for kum when I can get it for free?”

The Pophangover Network is getting ready to launch 8 new websites, and we’d love to feature your photos and stories on them! Here’s a quick rundown of some of the websites, the content we’re looking for, and where to send it:
THE WORST THING I EVER ATE will be the complete opposite of the Food Network’s “Best Thing I Ever Ate.” We’re looking for brief stories about the worst hamburger, pizza, beverage, snack food, seafood, or any other food that you’ve ever had. It could be from a restaurant, or something you purchased at the store. Why was it awful? Where did you get it? Photos are preferred but not required. So the next time you’re eating something and found yourself thinking, “you know what? That was the worst thing I ever ate” – snap a photo of it with your camera phone and send it to us! Maybe you can spare someone else from going through the same agony! Contact address: worstthing@pophangover.com
FUNNY RECEIPTS is pretty self explanatory. Is it a receipt? Does it say something funny? THEN WE’D LOVE IT! Contact address: funnyreceipts@pophangover.com
SPELLING FAILS will be a collection of humorous, idiotic spelling errors that we all encounter on a daily basis. If you happen to come across a funny and/or stupid spelling error that you’d like to share with the world, snap a photo and send it to us! It can be from the internet, the office, television, product packaging… anywhere, really. It’s all fair game! Contact address: spellingfails@pophangover.com
SHIT I SAW AT WORK will be a photo blog of the funny, crazy, and/or ridiculous things people saw while at work. Whether you work in an office, in a restaurant, in the mall, or on the moon, if you saw something funny, outrageous, or breathtaking while on the job, we want to see it! Whip out that camera phone and take a photo! Contact address: sisaw@pophangover.com
And now, back to your regularly scheduled pop culture snark!

Some things just go together. Peanut butter and jelly. Hot chocolate and whipped cream. Justin Bieber and… the BET Network? Wait, WHAT?
BET just nominated the annoying, smug teenage twerp for one of their BET awards in the “Best New Artist” category. This clearly begs the question: What the fuck, BET?
“Bieber has crossed the color boundaries the same way that hip-hop has crossed the boundaries the other way for a number of years,” said Stephen Hill, BET’s President of Music Programing and Specials. “He’s had rhythm in his music. He makes the type of music our audience likes.” What type of music is that, Stephen? Shitty, juvenile music?
Aside from a fat cartoon character in a Shrek ad in the sidebar, Bieber is seemingly the only white person pictured or mentioned on BET’s homepage, thus making this award nomination one of the most pathetic, most obvious cases of “jumping on a bandwagon” that I’ve ever seen in my life.
Way to sell out for a few more viewers, BET.

Michael Bolton, the king of crunchy hair and cheesy 80s power ballads, has a new album out. People under 60 only were made aware of this, because LADY GAGA is singing on a track called “Murder My Heart” with him. And guys, IT IS FUCKING AWFUL.
The track was recorded in August 2008, before Lady Gaga became the fame whore that we all know and love today. Now I don’t know about her, but I’d be mortified to have my name attached to this piece of shit song. The background beat sounds like my 4-year old cousin made it on his Nintendo DS. And the lyrics are so far beyond lame, they’ve pushed the song into the “torturous to listen to” category.
Bolton, stick to singing about being a “Soul Provider.” And Gaga, start distancing yourself from Bolton….. now.

Nike just released this creepy new ad, which basically just shows Tiger Woods pretending to be remorseful while his DEAD FATHER talks to him from the grave via horribly edited voice clips. Way to play the victim, Tiger!
Here’s the thing: the damage has been done. Everyone thinks Tiger Woods is a scumbag, and his father’s voice and a few remorseful looks aren’t going to change that.
But remember! When you fuck up in life, manipulate the situation and play on people’s emotions by bringing up a loved one who died. Works like a charm!
