New Music! M.I.A. feat. Blaqstarr - “S.U.S. (Save Ur Soul)”
The song samples Tom Waits’s “Way Down In The Hole” — better known as The Wire’s theme song.

Reblogged due to my love for the original — and The Wire. If only the video was Omar dancing…
Charles is an 86-year-old Obama supporter and volunteer from Boulder, CO. He won a raffle to meet Barack at the rally in Denver on 10/26/08.

OK, don’t even try to tell me that this puppet/hip-hop jam mash-up video trend is getting old. For real. I still watch Bert and Ernie doing M.O.P.’s Ante Up at least five times a week. Piggy’s facial expressions are what make this one worthwhile.

After seeing The King of Kong, it’s really hard to get Billy Mitchell, Billy Mitchell’s ego, and Billy Mitchell’s haircut out of your head. Dude is mesmerizing.
For the truly entranced, there’s more Billy lore to sink your teeth into. Check out Joshua Bearman’s nine-page Harper’s piece on Mitchell and his Pac-Man career [PDF].

Richard Dawkins reads his email
This should be a regular feature on The Daily Show or something. Jesus-fuelled hate speech from southerners is the funniest thing ever when read calmly aloud in Dawkins’ crisp Oxford accent.

Subliminal messages telling you to do horrible things (eat the meeeeeat…) should remain subliminal.
