Horrible news today for all teenage boys in Iceland: the government of this North Atlantic nation is hoping to become the first county to actually ban pornography.
The proposal by Interior Minister Ogmundur Jonasson has created quite the stor, but this official’s political adviser doesn’t understand why.
Asks Halla Gunnarsdottir:

The teasing is over. The full-length cuteness has finally hit the Internet.
Following days’ worth of brief online teases, One Direction has finally released the music video for “Kiss You.”
It features the young British men driving a motorcycle and convertible, while also donning outfits in jail and staging a photoshoot in ski garb.
