It's all fun and games until he teaches it to roll over.

On December 22nd, we showed you "Beethoven for Elephants" and asked you to give us a better title.

We picked five of our favorites and now it's your chance to vote on a winner.

Vote below! Then check back tomorrow for the results and a new video.

This video is called "Beethoven for Elephants."  I apologize that it has nothing to do with Christmas.  But we're all sick of the holiday anyway, right?

Think you got a funnier name for this video? Let us know in the comments! Then check back on Tuesday at noon for the vote off!

The winner of this week's Rename This Video Vote was Gary Huskey with his title, "Rebecca Black and Kenny Rogers record a duet."  It's funny because the guy looks like Kenny Rogers and the dog sings like Rebecca Black.  Congratulations, Gary!

It's a chimp feeding a two-month-old tiger cub at a zoo in Thailand. And I'll just leave a video of it here.

That's all now. Carry on.

I'm going to be spending my weekend wondering why this is a real thing.

Think you can explain it? Tell us in the comments.

A restaurant in Thailand has created a life-size Tiger Woods doll dressed in condoms. It's wearing a belt buckle that reads, "Let's do it Tiger" and it's aimed at promoting safe-sex or making Tiger look like a rainbow fish. Either way, it succeeds.

It's an odd choice of promotional celebrity, though, considering Tiger's mistresses claimed he never used condoms.

Maybe we can get a Heidi Montag doll dressed in a burka with a belt buckle that reads, "I believe in natural beauty"? Or… I don't know, a Daniel Tosh doll dressed in a fruit costume with a belt buckle that reads, "My show can afford this".

My point is, Tiger isn't the best safe sex role model. But wear condoms anyway. Especially if you're sleeping with porn stars and ladies who work at Perkins.

And speaking of Daniel Tosh dressed in a fruit costume, (segue!) don't forget to vote for the Elite Eight. Tiger Woods and I are voting for mesh tank tops. Because we both like to see skin. Lots of pasty skin.

A 10-year-old British girl put her grandmother up for sale on eBay reports the U.K.'s Mail Online.

eBay axed the online auction, but only after bidding breached the £20,000 mark.

The news media has been treating this whole event as a hilarious joke, but I'm not sold.  Here is the girl, Zoe Pemberton (Wasn't that one of the kids in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?), in her own words:

"She was annoying me. She was moaning at me. I was on the laptop and suddenly thought I'd put her on eBay."

Um… Ha??

That doesn't sound like a young girl playing a joke: That's sounds like a bratty kid trying to unload her grandmother on eBay.

What's funny about this?  Partaking in the illegal activity of human trafficking?  The possibility of selling a grandparent into a life of servitude or geriatric sexual slavery?  Breaking eBay's terms of service?

The Mail must have had a laugh riot when the U.S. Department of State placed the Thai Government in Tier 2 of their 2007 Trafficking in Persons Report for not fully complying with the Trafficking Victims Protection Act?s minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking.

The government of Thailand later declared these practices to be a "joke."  LOL!
