Oh my. Not that I’m running to 7-11 to grab a giant jug of Coca-Cola anytime soon, but this is a little much. A little common sense and self-control can really go a long way. I’m guessing anybody who indulges in giant bathtubs of sugar drinks probably partake in lots of other terrible food habits, like using glazed donuts for deodorant and using french fries as chopsticks (if you take an accidental bite of these chopsticks, woops! Delicious!).
Just… really, everyone. Just calm down with the giant sugar bomb drinks, and we won’t have to hear about His Highness wasting his time with things like this.
Also, if you’re a sicko who needs their 7-11 soda swimming pools, you’re going to just buy 2 (or 3) smaller sodas and get your fix anyway, aren’t you?

By now, I’m assuming we’re all familiar with Apple’s Photo Stream feature. It’s the service that automatically uploads photos you take on your iPhone (or iPad) to all of your other Apple device for easy cataloging. No need to sync the photos or transfer them; they’ll be there.
Anyway, someone stole an iPhone during a Disney Cruise, and apparently wasn’t aware of this feature, else they wouldn’t be taking so many photos with. So what does the original owner do? Why, make a separate, fantastic Facebook photo album of those photos entitled “Stolen iPhone Adventures.” It’s the ultimate dick move of revenge against someone who made a dick move stealing that iPhone in the first place. Fantastic.
For no real reason, I figured I’d share a desktop wallpaper that I love. It was made by Michael Moreland, so direct all praise to him. Click the source to get the full-size version; I posted it in a low resolution here to encourage everyone to get it from the proper place.
“By the time he turned 5, Michael had developed an uncanny ability to switch from full-blown anger to moments of pure rationality or calculated charm — a facility that Anne describes as deeply unsettling. “You never know when you’re going to see a proper emotion,” she said. She recalled one argument, over a homework assignment, when Michael shrieked and wept as she tried to reason with him. “I said: ‘Michael, remember the brainstorming we did yesterday? All you have to do is take your thoughts from that and turn them into sentences, and you’re done!’ He’s still screaming bloody murder, so I say, ‘Michael, I thought we brainstormed so we could avoid all this drama today.’ He stopped dead, in the middle of the screaming, turned to me and said in this flat, adult voice, ‘Well, you didn’t think that through very clearly then, did you?’ ” —

Why did Dan get let go from the show?
We’re not made aware of why staffing changes take place but I will always be grateful to Dan for his great work on the show and wish him only the best. We’re also excited that we’ll be back on NBC’s schedule in the fall and are looking forward to working on those episodes.
Here’s the thing about nerds Sony. We don’t have a lot of people, but we’re extremely loyal to the people we do have. So if you’re thinking about sending a memo to the Community staff telling them what to say about Dan Harmon, you might want to reconsider.
Oh hey, wonderful! “Here’s your answer to that question, automatons. Now go forth, and be corporate-friendly!”

CBC, a Canadian broadcast network, have announced that they will offer an alternative audio channel for people (specifically, women) to listen to if they were so inclined as to watch the upcoming NHL Stanley Cup Finals (which I REALLY hope includes the Rangers, but I digress). So, what does this mean? I’ll let the commentators of that audio channel give us a clue:
Thanks guys, but if we really wanted to, we could probably figure out how to analyze a five-on-four situation. In all seriousness, there is no shortage of talented female sportscasters out there who we respect. We just think it’s more fun to talk about why so many gorgeous players come from Welland Ontario and why they all skate around with scotch tape holding up their socks.
I’m confused. So this is going to be play-by-play and commentary that don’t actually talk about the action, to make it more enjoyable for women? Am I missing something. Digging just a little bit deeper, the two women who’ll be providing this audio are from a web site called While The Men Watch, “where girl talk is a sport.”
They cover stories that ask the hard-hitting questions, like which celebrities should Jeremy Lin shack up with, and what would their combined celebrity name be (actual examples: Katy Perry + Jeremy Lin = Jer-Per and JLo + Jeremy Lin = JLin)? Also, sex on game day: a boon, or a curse? And ladies, since you can’t possibly be fans of March Madness basketball, and since you’re forced to watch by those meatheads you date, here are 10 March Madness terms you should learn to fool everybody into thinking you know what’s going on onscreen.
I’m just failing to understand what the purpose and message is here. Is there an assumption that women are sitting with their boyfriends in front of a televised sporting event, calling a touchdown a homerun, and are waiting in quiet desperation for the game clock to strike 0:00?
As the hosts of While The Men Watch point out in the quote above, there are numerous respected female sports commentators in the industry who, and I can’t believe I even have to point this out as it should go without saying, are quite capable at analyzing our favorite sports.
I’m just confused by the whole thing. Someone help me out here.
