Obama Dreams of Ex-Presidents

This is an epic Funny or Die piece. It takes us back through four generations of SNL crews, and highlights some of the best impersonators still walking around. Though, not all of these characters are exactly spot on (cough… Chevy… cough).

Skynet Kill Probe Invented

The eyes and ears of our future cybernetic overlords have taken shape, thanks to the industrious engineering work of the Germans. How ironic.

The Hexacopter can zoom in and out of view in the blink of an eye, and sounds like an “angry swarm of bees” as it collects intelligence, scans for impure thoughts, and prepares a euthanasia beam for its thankful victims.

I Love Bananas

I do not love this. This is one of the creepier YouTube videos in recent memory. It reminds me of a French Surrealist spoof of The Fountain. In other words, this fellow could be the Avatar of Ehecatl, the Aztec God of Wind (and Bananas).

Pain!

Here’s a little ditty that perfectly encapsulates this last week — whether one is referencing the markets, the economy at large, the craptastic weather, the Activist Supreme Court trying to bring about the Corpapocalypse, or the tragic conclusion to the football career of Brett Fav-Re. Good times.

Taking the Red Pill Isn’t Easy

Don’t they make psychotropic tracking devices in liquid form?

First-Person Tetris

I might even call this self-actualization Tetris. In this game, you’re not the removed architect and organizer of pieces, you’re the pieces themselves. Heavy, right? Building blocks of the world, unite!
