A square box with thick pink horizontal lines (the mathematical equal symbol) was offered for sharing this week by the Human Rights Campaign as the U.S. Supreme Court took up arguments in key marriage rights cases. The image, replacing profile pictures on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest and elsewhere, is a makeover of the advocacy group's logo, usually a blue background with bright yellow lines. The HRC made it available in red &#8212; for the color of love &#8212; on Monday and estimated tens of millions of shares by Wednesday.

Kunis' stardom and general idolization went up a notch last week, and you would think this is because she stars in the biggest movie of the year so far. But “Oz the Great and Powerful,” which debuted with $79.1 million at the box office, had hardly anything to do with the sudden rush of adulation that engulfed Kunis. Instead, it was a seven-minute viral video that's been watched more than 10 million times and blogged about the world over.(Photo by Joel Ryan/Invision/AP) </p> http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2012/11/29/15543772-ala-man-gets-2-years-in-jail-for-viral-bcs-videohttp://www.newsvine.com/_news/2012/11/29/15543772-ala-man-gets-2-years-in-jail-for-viral-bcs-videocollege-footballbcsvideobourbon-streetus-newsviralviral-videoThu, 29 Nov 2012 16:52:02 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/generic_post http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2012/10/03/14206527-usa-today-founder-honors-nd-olive-garden-reviewerhttp://www.newsvine.com/_news/2012/10/03/14206527-usa-today-founder-honors-nd-olive-garden-reviewerusreviewnorth-dakotaus-newsviralolive-gardenWed, 3 Oct 2012 23:06:33 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/generic_post http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2012/10/02/14183782-ala-man-pleads-guilty-in-bcs-obscene-video-casehttp://www.newsvine.com/_news/2012/10/02/14183782-ala-man-pleads-guilty-in-bcs-obscene-video-casenew-orleanscollege-footballbcsvideobourbon-streetus-newsviralTue, 2 Oct 2012 16:20:43 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/generic_post<p>FILE -In this Thursday, Jan. 19, 2012 file photo, Brian Downing, who allegedly sexually assaulted a passed out LSU football fan is escorted by detectives for booking at the New Orleans Police Department headquarters in New Orleans.
