FUCK YES.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Friday Night Lights is one of the best shows on television, if not the best. It’s not too late to start watching, world.
Did anybody see this coming? Go Panthers!
LOLCat Bible Translation Project →
This is the greatest creation of the Internet Age.
This is by far the best thing I’ve ever found for the CollegeHumor videos section.

The era of Facebook is weird. We’ve all heard and read analyses of modern social interactions and how they have been mutated by the impersonal ease of Facebook.
One of the most peculiar things Facebook has given us is an outlet for grief. Whenever a college student dies, his or her Facebook wall turns into a mural of a eulogy. An overly intimate, kind of disrespectful, public...
Rescue Me is back on April 7th, and it looks to be as enormously entertaining as ever.
University of Connecticut men’s basketball coaches broke N.C.A.A. contact rules...
– Times article. We know we’ve entered a brave new world when Yahoo! is a credible source of investigative journalism.

Holy Damn this looks good.

Where The Wild Things Are trailer!
This looks like it’s going to be superb. One can hope.
The sketch was okay, but Hawaii Lieutenant Governor Duke Aiona’s reaction to it is priceless. Yes, America, we have trashy, hyper-Christian conservative politicians in the Aloha State, too.
There will probably be Oreos broken over this.

My first article for CollegeHumor; three pages from a future American History textbook discussing the collapse of American society with the new Facebook format.
It got frontpaged! And I did it entirely in Microsoft Word, which is way more flexible than those Apple fanboys would have you believe. Be sure to like/digg it, if you’re into that sort of thing.
I’m really impressed with NBC’s new Kings; terrible ratings from its premiere probably mean that it’s in danger of being canceled, but one can hope that it rebounds and is able to hold a weekly audience. I will say this: it beats the hell out of Heroes in writing, acting, and concept. Also, Ian McShane’s character uses the Royal “we” when he’s angry, which...

Hardly Working: Airplane. This was a true adventure. I can say with 100% certainty that this is the most exercise my abs have gotten while shooting an office sketch.
This is by far one of the funniest sketches I’ve ever seen, anywhere. I began laughing uncontrollably in the middle of the CollegeHumor office when I watched this. Adam Newman looked at me funny. I felt dumb....
Greg Rutter's Definitive List of The 99 Things You... →
I don’t know what’s weirder: the fact that I know almost all of these or the fact that I spend much of my time at CollegeHumor finding things that may someday be included on this list.
Cheering Section - Meet Gar Ryness, the Batting... →
Batting Stance Guy made it into the Times—about six months after everybody discovered him. It’s kind of disturbing how far the traditional news media is lagging behind online trends and viral content.

I love punctuation. For those of us who studied English in college, knowing when to use a semi-colon instead of a period or eliminating excess exclamation points is like a fun bonus to the tedious scribbling of paragraphs on themes and formatting citation pages. Now I’ve finally had the chance to share this love with the Internet.
There needs to be more punctuation-related...
"The Seven Girls You'll Date In College" by Ben... →
Really, really funny work by Ben Joseph.
We need smaller government and more white quarterbacks. That’s not...
– Rush Limbaugh (kind of). Apparently Funny or Die is capable of making me laugh, after all.
Palin’s Daughter Bristol Splits From Fiancé -... →
Ain’t it painful when your own self-righteousness comes back to bite you in the ass? Way to cash in your own daughter for political capital, Sarah Palin.
Let’s see Julio Lugo do that.
Pledging that his administration will “make scientific decisions based on facts,...
– That’s right, Republicans! We run this bitch now!
My friends and I went to see Watchmen last night (Happy Birthday, Nicole!), and the opening title montage is one of the most fascinating visual sequences that I’ve ever seen. Not only does director Zach Snyder deftly convey pages upon pages of material in just over five and a half minutes of film, but he also shows some real style with his inclusion of what must be hundreds of cultural...
Obama Ponders Outreach to Elements of the Taliban... →
Not that anybody should particularly care what they think, but this is going to drive the “anti-cut-and-run” crowd crazy.
Indeed, the ideal viewer — or reviewer, as the case may be — of the “Watchmen”...
– That’s me! That’s me! Or maybe that’s my roommate, Kendale. But still! (From the Times review of Watchmen).
You know, at first I wasn’t sure how I felt about the A-Rod steroid controversy, but now that I’ve heard 50 Cent’s take on the issue…
streeter:
Horray!
Unbelievable. Simply amazing.

Statistics plus free throws equals interesting article?
