On Tumblr this week, we learned that cheese plus celebrities equals Cheese People. Slap Teenage Mutant Ninja faces on noses, and you get the aptly named Teenage Mutant Ninja Noses. And, someone finally solved the literature plus rappers equation.

Rap Industry Fan Fiction: Rappers enjoy the same first-world problems as we all do. “There’s something endearing to read about rappers that feel vulnerable,” the creators told the Daily Dot. “…and I mean vulnerable in a stupid, relatable way, like saying ‘duvet’ instead of ‘bidet.”
Speaking of first-world problems, FluffPo floated on to our radar. The Tumblr calls out everything that is truly awful about the Huffington Post, including the superfluous slideshows. How many times can we look at nipple slips, America?
We wonder if FluffPo has met HuffNo. Someone should mash those two up. FluffHuffNoPo sounds like a trendy neighborhood.
