    Here's the GIF Search Engine You've Been Waiting Too Long For

    By Rebecca Greenfield | The Atlantic Wire – Fri, Feb 1, 2013

    Just as the rebirth of the GIF was apparently ending, someone up and started Giphy, a search engine focusing solely on the soon-to-be-passé looping file format of Internet past. The web really could have used this thing back in 2012 before we reached peak GIF. But now, with Twitter's GIF-y Vine on the up and up, who needs it anyway? Maybe GIF loyalists. Maybe. But maybe not, considering the search part of the Giphy engine doesn't really work that well. It's kind of slow and doesn't always show the best, most accurate results. Harry Potter GIFs show up with a "Star Wars" search, to name just one unholy offense. Giphy also surfaced only six Saved by the Bell GIFs — and a little Tumblr research pulls up way more than that. So, thanks but no thanks.

    • Rick Perry Goes to War Against Connecticut

      Rick Perry, the Texas governor and 2012 "oops" presidential candidate, is spending the beginning of this week in Connecticut. Perry, as the governor of Texas, has little on-its-face reason to be in Connecticut. Except, of course, for one: Texas's unemployment rate, which at 6.4 percent in April is significantly lower than the national average, is still not quite ideal. Perry wants to bring jobs to his state. And, as he sees it, some of those jobs could come from Connecticut.

    • Miss Utah's Pageant Answer Is the Worst You've Ever Seen

      The only time normal people seem to care about national beauty pageants is when one of the contestants messes up the question-and-answer round in the worst way possible. Well, it happened again last night at the Miss USA pageant, with Miss Utah giving an answer so bad that it eclipsed all other terrible pageant answers before her. Meet 21-year-old Marissa Powell. She is from Salt Lake City. And this is the full, cringe-worthy sequence you will be seeing a lot of this week:
