Repo Men – trailer
The script for Repo Men actually dates back to late 2003. Screenwriters Eric Garcia and Garrett Lerner began collaborating with director Miguel Sapochnik on a script -based on a novel that was being written by Garcia at the time. In June 2007 production on the film started with Jude Law attached, and the novel has since been published as of March 31, 2009. The plot of the film goes something like this:
In the future you can buy a longer life – engineered organs are available, but at a hefty price. Spare parts are a big business and if you can’t make your payments it’s the Repomen’s job to re-possess them at any cost. Jude law plays a repoman who after an accident receives a new heart and lease on life. With the tables now turned he can no longer bring himself fulfill his duties now that the shoe is on the other foot. Now he is the one who is on the run from the repomen, because his bill is past due.

Rube Goldberg would be blown away by this.
OK Go is known for its elaborate one-take videos. While I wouldn't consider their treadmill dance or field o' surprises to be that nerdy, when I saw this, well... that is some nerdy, mind-blowing shit right there. Basically, it's a Rube Goldberg device whose mission is to be awesome for three and a half minutes, which it succeeds at marvelously. Apparently the band actually built the device along with some guys from Synn Labs over several months, which makes me respect OK Go almost infinite. Clearly, they'd tried a few takes before getting the right one, but I can't hold that against them in the tiniest degree. I can't even imagine having to put all those dominoes back up, let alone resetting the whole damn thing.

Monkey Tuesday – Bizzaro
Well, seriously, just look at the picture. If you don’t see that and immediately want to watch the sh*t outta this video, I’m not sure we can be friends. It looks like it’s from a local cable-access show, and it tells the story of what happens when people stop being polite, and start singing songs about tripping balls in a time machine on a lap guitar dither autoharp. It’s one of the most mesmerizing things I’ve ever seen that didn’t involve jiggling tits. This guy claims to have had some wild nights. You know what? I’m inclined to believe him. I bet he's been in town getting tattoo's for bar $50 tabs or he's had one to many goldfish shots.

Never Gonna Give It Up, Never Gonna Let You Down
One of the worst attempts at content control was made when YouTube removed Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" for copyright infringement.
It is unclear when exactly they had removed the video, but the Neowin blog discovered it in the wee hours of this morning (Wednesday, 2/24).
The hilarious 80's music video became popular again when video pranksters started using it in the middle of other videos that people actually want to watch.
The video had gotten over 30 MILLION hits and according to cnet news, one of the co-authors of the song was complaining about how he hadn't made a cent off of the video's renewed popularity.
All in all I think it's just a terribly futile attempt at content control and I'm fairly confident that the jerks just set us all up for a new wave of Rick Roll videos. I mean, real Rick Rollers know the game and they're gonna play it. Don't tell me you're too blind to see.

smurf..smurf…belgian..smurf..smurf….gah my precious brains
I... I don't know why this video disturbs me so terribly. Technically, it's just a video from the '70s by some Belgian dude awesomely named Vader Abraham, singing about Smurfs in no officially approved capacity. Nothing really happens other than Vader Abraham and some Smurf puppets "la-la-ing" happily for three minutes. But something... something about this just hurts me, because it feels so, so evil. Maybe it's the soulless, rubbery Smurf puppets. Maybe it's the hellish background of flickering lights. Maybe it's the slow, loving pan over the plastic Smurf figurines, less like a toy collection, and more like a serial killer collects mementos of his victims. Or maybe it's the way old Abraham holds the tiny flute so the horrible Smurf puppet can wrap its thin, rubbery lips around it and blow.

Fox’s ‘Family Guy’ takes on Sarah Palin by appearing to mock her son Trig’s Down syndrome
“My dad’s an accountant, and my mom’s the former governor of Alaska,” the character replies when Chris quizzes her on what her parents do.
I didn't get the full reference at first being in little old New Zealand but it's just to deliciously offensive to pass up. If I was a writer for Family Guy I would have so played that card as well.
Well done guys 
Fox could be heading to Sarah Palin's doghouse after the animated show "Family Guy" appeared to mock her son's Down syndrome on Sunday night.
In the taste-challenged episode, one of the show's characters dates a woman who apparently suffers from Down syndrome. The woman makes comparisons to Palin's 22-month-old son, Trig.
