I have seen all the Super Bowl ads, and I’m definitely not looking for all the ads in the list I put up a few weeks back… BUt I hope $7/minute is worth it for the advertisers!
Of the collective, these two ads actually triggers a LOL response. The others might be funny, but they seemed to go on for too long and lost their umph with me.
Check out the ads… were funny enough for me that I thought I’d post them..

Want to see something fun? It’s called a Rube Goldberg Machine or contraption. You have to have a slight appreciation for the plotting needed to make this kind of puzzle… and as far as I’m concerned, I don’t this this will work with my Kindle. I mean, I guess it sort of could, but I’m not about that… I can “turn” my own Kindle page… sort of.
Check this out… it’s a hoot (And thanks to John S. for showing this to me.):

And for the record, I read more than one page of a newspaper!

I think bats can be cool but Fruit Bats to me are awesome because they look like small dogs with wings. Fruit Bats are also known by the name of Megabats or Flying Foxes, and for good reason! The largest lineage of this bat species can reach wingspans of up to 5 feet wide.
They’re the classic large bat you usually always see on TV in scenes, but they seem quite harmless, since they feed on fruits and flower nectar!
But of course, at that size, it does wonders on the human psyche when trying to stay calm if you’re presented with seeing these flying beasts in the wild, of that I’m sure.

The 2nd movie trailer for Battleship actually seems interesting and makes this a bit more personal than giant pegs in the side of my Battleship!
With the dearth of remakes over the last few years, someone started working on the idea of possibly making movies that are loosely based around boardgames. When I first heard about a small swarm of movies based off of boardgames, I started wondering if remakes weren’t all that bad.
As far as I’m concerned, Battleship, starring Taylor Kitsch, could be a huge popcorn hit. The only thing that will hold it back is if the franchise of the boardgame doesn’t have quite the following like the Transformers franchise does. And you get to see Kitsch with a haircut finally!!!

Did you know that beagles are one of the desired lab test animals because they’re obedient, adaptable so they are able to live their entire lives in cages and they’re cheap to feed?
Yea… it’s a horrible fact and I’m not sure how researchers can live with themselves in dealing with lab animals to experiment on.
Sure, some people think animals are just animals. I also don’t hold that heinous perspective. Animals have souls and personalities. Whatever goes on in their heads isn’t very different from us. It’s just on a slightly different scale than ours, something we don’t understand.
The article that was pointed out to me from a reader and it has a wonderfully happy ending for these select beagles that were rescued.
The animals were rescued by ARME (Animal Rescue Media Education).
The footage below (after the break) shows some rescued beagles seeing sunlight and stepping on grass for the first time in their lives.

I’m ripping through my collective of press releases that I get in my inbox and thought I’d toss out some TV news and movie news bites. You’ve probably heard these news bits already, but what the heck… just in case you haven’t. There’s news on the Snow White movie, Martha Stewart, NBC’s Thanksgiving parade telecast, a Jurassic Park game, and a few other actor tidbits.

We’ve been hearing about an untitled Snow White movie from Relativity Media… now it’s been given a title…

Every now and then you come across something that just seems too cute to pass up. In this case, it’s a YouTube video of a tiger-colored cat playing with a dolphin or two.
It’s neat to see, because if you watch carefully, the cat likes the texture of the dolphin’s nose. (It’s a bit sand-papery.)
But the dolphin looks like it’s actually trying to mimic what humans do and pet the cat.
Check it out… it’s awesome to see this kind of unique interaction between these two unlikely species, being friends.
One of the true treasures of nature, of life, of this world.

I think many fans of The Hunger Games know this, but just in case you don’t, there’s a production company out there that have been making short films based off of the The Hunger Games book series.
The production company is called Mainstay Productions and they have already released a short or two based on The Hunger Games, one of them titled Katniss and Rue.
Katniss and Rue depicts the emotionally powerful scene between Katniss and Rue during the games when…
From here on out, you will encounter spoilers for the upcoming Lionsgate movie, The Hunger Games, so read on if you wish, but just know, I’m letting some cats out of the bag…

Mainstay Productions have done shorts on the cave scene with Katniss and Peeta, and The Second Quarter Quell, a prequel of sorts focused on Haymitch’s Hunger Games.
It’s fascinating to see that these moments, these scenes from The Hunger Games have already had some fan films made, via Mainstay Productions.

The other day I became curious as to what group sang the song in the Kia Soul Hampster TV commercial. The one where the Hampsters drive up in a Soul and stop a huge video game battle. I did a few searches but there seems to be a lacking collection of decent answers.
I got this hair-brained idea to go check out the Kia YouTube channel… guess what!? Yep.
The Kia Soul Hampster TV commercial song is the Party Rock Anthem and here’s the longer version:
