    Funny or Die

    Theodore Wafer, the Detroit-area man who shot an unarmed 19-year-old girl on his porch, was convicted of murder. Wafer claimed his home had been repeatedly vandalized and he thought the girl was going to commit a crime. In reality, she was disoriented after a car crash and looking for help.

  • Democrats' fundraising emails are generating tons of cash, but will the DNC soon suffer from "boy who cried wolf" syndrome?
  • Read a response from Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, to the suggestion put forth by U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner Michael Yaki that college-aged kids do not have sufficiently developed brains to handle free speech.
  • Funny Or Die demands equal-pay-for-equal-work in a new video featuring Christina Hendricks of Mad Men.
  • John Oliver on haters threatening lawsuits: They "can go fuck themselves."
