Offbeat: Dude gets on morning news show with fake yo-yo skillz

  • If you’ve ever seen the film “The Foot Fist Way,” in which Danny McBride stars as a kung fu master, just imagine kind of the same incredibly awkward thing, except with yo-yos. This guy clearly isn’t an expert at anything, especially not yo-yos. source

U.S.: The military’s top enemy, after the Taliban? PowerPoint

  • “When we understand that slide, we’ll have won the war.” The military has a problem with PowerPoint presentations taking over their lives, to the point where some top military officers refuse to use the program.

Politics: WSJ illustration: NY Times’ top dude LOOKS LIKE A LAY-DAY!

  • See that face right there in the middle? That’s unmistakably the face of New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger. In a story about feminine-looking male faces. In the Wall Street Journal. Did Rupert Murdoch just lay a personal attack on his competition? We think he did. source

Politics: UK Conservative leader: Yeah, we, uh …, support, uh …, gay rights

  • Man, talk about a stumble. David Cameron, who’s been leading a push to portray the Conservatives as a modernized party in the UK, tripped over his own words in this interview with Gay Times, to the point where he told the magazine to shut off the camera so he could collect his thoughts. This is how to make your party look modernized. source

Culture: Speaking of the iPad, this Doritos parody is completely perfect

  • Check out the names. The first two are phonetic riffs on Apple’s Phil Schiller and Jony Ive, and the clip is pretty much amazing. At its core? Great marketing.

Wow, this is like a weird combination of two parts of American history: The interstate highway system and the buffalo. We blame Ted Turner for this. source
