Pious to Paperboy: A Day in the life of…(4/8)
1 – The two great things about this video are #1) The crazy homophobic racists from the Westboro Baptist Church are getting totally pwned and #2) It continues the amazing resurgence of Rick Astley. It’s time to Rik-Roll the nation!! [via PerezHilton]
2 – Now if these book jacket promos had actually been written on the books when I was in college, who knows the limits I could have reached? Or fallen under? Or heard about from other friends who actually read books? [via College Humor]
3 – Tom Cruise’s next film, Valkyrie, about the failed attempt to kill Hitler during his reign, has once again been moved back. Now it is set to release in Feb. 2009, which we all know is a total hotbed of Oscar contenders, box-office blockbusters and general quality cinema. I almost wish it would have come out this year so we could have witnessed the head-to-head battle with Never Back Down. Epic movie clash in the making. [via FilmDrunk]
4 – Every four years the world comes together under the rings of the Olympic banner, but usually it’s not to overwhelmingly protest the host country. Times they are a changin’. [via CNN]
5 – For those people who learn better by graphical charts, here’s the moral lessons from our favorite tunes: [via Erin]
6 – Ever wonder where some of those marketing deals come from in your favorite movies? Ever wonder why it’s one candy over another? Wonder no more, thanks to this informative piece from Mental Floss. Now you know, and knowing is…well, you know the rest. [via GorillaMask via Mental Floss]
7 – Whatever team this mascot is for, I am now a die-hard supporter. [via Pandachute]
8 – It’s always nice to see that at least one of the fictional families from TV didn’t turn out to harbor some crazy meth-addled, teddy bear serial killer, or that’s what we are led to believe in this update on the happenings of the gang from Family Ties. [via Starpulse]
9 – When I sit back and think what is more dangerous to the social fabric of a country, I certainly come to the logical conclusion that The Simpsons is far deadlier than Baywatch. This makes perfect sense. Yeah, right, maybe in some wacky communist country that would work…oh…what? It is a communist country? Oh, I guess it’s fine then. [via Perez Hilton]
10 – You ever wonder what it was like working as the kid from the video game Paperboy? Turns out he had a few issues with the people he met on his route. (Seriously, I’m in full agreement with him, that kid with the tricycle was a poltergeist or something). [via College Humor]
