So the British attached some teddy bears to weather balloons, floated 'em up, and enthusiastically reported that said bears had reached the edge of space—and returned safely to earth, as well! They've "become the first soft toys to take part in extra-vehicular activity (to use correct NASA jargon) at such an altitude," reports the Daily Mail. Um, good work, Great Britain! Now what? (America, fuck yeah!)

Remember Bearforce1, the world's first all-bear Dutch synth-disco boi-band? Of course you do! Well, they're in New York for their big American appearances, and our Rod Townsend and Nick McGlynn sat down with the bears last night for an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW (as they say in the tabloids) that includes a live a cappella performance from the band.
