My daughter asked me why we don't have balls anymore. What? After determining that she meant fancy dance parties like in the story of Cinderella, I explained that they fell out of favor now that we have TV, co-ed schools, and nightclubs for entertainment and meeting people. And more recently, the internet has largely replaced all those things.
College Humor takes the classic tale of Cinderella and moves it into the world of iPhones, dating sites, hookup culture, and the bar scene. How romantic! But they lived happily ever after -watch and see how. Possibly NSFW, depending on your office policy. -via Viral Viral Videos
