I never really thought about it until I saw this photo of Bono without his sunglasses, but without those sunglasses he looks very...average and pedestrian. Bono is one person I give a pass to to wear sunglasses indoors. Bono, please put on your shades bro!
[Via who has his own additional compelling theory about Bono. Face it, how come we never see big rock star Bono with any ladies...? Hm?]
Here's an annoying internet commercial for Borders Books under the guise of a video of two favorites of cultural elites, Wes Anderson and Jason Schwartzman flippantly browsing through the selections at a Borders location. How do I know it's a marketing effort from Borders? It was uploaded by BordersMedia on YouTube (brought to you by Google). I don't know why I'm posting this. I want a free copy of Rushmore in exchange. And a Borders gift certificate and apology from corporate for not hiring me during the summers when I was in college. It was very damaging to the self esteem.

Man, this news is a damn shame. Craig Phillip Robinson, the actor who plays Daryl, one of my favorite characters from The Office (One of my all time favorite scenes from this show is Daryl coaching Michael Scott on getting a raise), was arrested after being caught with possessing crazy drugs. Damn.

[Okay, I lied. But I swear, this is the LAST entry on not only Phelps but swimming in general.] Aquaman Shrine has a nice comparison between the King of Atlantis and the King of 8 Olympic Gold Medals. While Phelps has Aquaman beat on height, as Chris Rock said, "Aquaman's a hero. He can talk to the fishes." True. One of his "power is the telepathic ability to communicate with/command oceanic life." Bow down bitches to the King of Atlantis. Hear ye, hear ye.
See the comparison chart after the jump.
Professional skateboards Tony Hawk, Bam Margera and Mike Valley himself narrate and discuss the behind the scenes and more of the time Mike Valley, a UFC lookin' mofo, fought and destroyed four guys. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV9mZy0zork&NR=1]
Blanket statements + celebrities + state stereotypes = If Celebs Moved to Oklahoma x hilarity
Britney Spears
Cameron Diaz
Jennifer Aniston
Last one is really frightening. Only go on if you are truly brave or sickeningly curious.
Olsen Twins
I'd bet you a million bucks that if one of the celebrity gossip magazines made this their cover feature story (and included photoshopped recreations of other celebrities) that issue would sell gazillions. GAZILLIONS.

Barack Obama gets rick rolled. Haha. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65I0HNvTDH4]

I never was the biggest fan of his stand up, but I always enjoyed his roles in the Oceans movies and especially in Friday. This is probably my all time favorite Bernie Mac scene: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkpGBiSck20]
So I tried to avoid watching Paris Hilton's spoof retort to a recent controversial McCain television ad spot that referenced her in their attack on Obama. That failed, and I wanted my 45 seconds back afterwards. Anyway, apparently Paris didn't memorize her spiel but read it off cue cards...blah, whatever. I thought about just deleting this entry but since I figured I had already written 75 percent of the previous sentence, I might as well post it. The takeaway here, Paris can read.
You can file this entry under "MRod wasted my time."

I gotta give it to the old man (the old man being the president of South Korea). The French Prez has nothing on this guy.

Previously mentioned Facebook Gangsta is back on the scene and this time gets his poke on with the Nonsociety girls. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ujfSrADTA0]
[Way to go Nick. Keep 'em coming.]
I'm just the messenger here, folks, but apparently we are all only a one-hit pop song away from a vacation like the one here that James Blunt is apparently enjoying in these photos:
Allegedly Blunt called John Mayer before heading out to see if John wanted to come.
"Dude, grow up bro," replied John Mayer, "Besides, I can't: Minka Kelly is coming over in a bit. I think she wants to get back together. I don't know what to do. Jennifer is great and all, but she keeps talking about this Ross guy."
More NSFW photos here.

Jose Canseco, former MLB baseball player, steroid scandal rat-whistleblower, and self-promoter extraordinaire stepped into a boxing ring for a fight of the has-beens against Vai Sikahema, a former NFL running back-punt returner. The result? A one round knockout for Sikahema. The only down side to the video clip is that Stephen A. Smith opens his mouth and talks about this and that in his analysis.
