D watched the Super Bowl (I didn't, I don't like American football) and called me after it had finished to let me know that I simply had to watch one of the commercials.  It was this one for Google.

Awwwww.  So sweet.  It really warmed my heart.

The Rachel Maddow Show produced a hilarious parody of this!  (Not to parody the commercial itself, though, but somebody far more worthy of it...)

I found one earlier this week about a certain fallen American hero.

The guy who made this makes Maddow's parody look, ironically enough, like a crass imitation.

idk...to see what social networking sites and/or other potentially disturbing aspects of her internet life there is to find? It's what all fake relationships are built on!

Duke study that found a correlation between religiosity and racism. Who could have seen that coming, eh?

Things get re-used a lot in animation. Here's a wonderful and ridiculous example!

Old news, not sure if it was mentioned already, but I thought I'd link it here. Articla about a man who might have been cured of AIDS.

This is one of those things that I had to decide between threads to put it in. It could've found a nice home in the VG discussion thread, or even the Humanity thread, but I figured this one would be most proper.

It's certainly an interesting take on the matter, even if some of the logic is a bit ker-punkft.

What if gamers ran the world?

I can't seem to figure out if this is for real or just some extremely surreal humor... (Be sure to read through it all, and maybe some of the comments if you are so inclined.)

I'm fairly sure it's an attempt to spoof a specific piece of Microsoft propaganda from a while back--the admin is just carrying the joke farther than it merits.
