The Star Wars Trilogy in 2 Minutes in LEGO Stop Motion Glory
by BRAD JACKSON / LEGO / star wars / Star Wars Day / Comments
I know, it’s the third Star Wars post of the day, but it’s totally worth it, trust me. Besides, it is “Star Wars Day,” so I have a little bit of leverage to bathe in my Star Wars geekery.
Here, ladies and gentlemen is the Star Wars trilogy told is just over two minutes with the help of some awesome stop motion LEGO awesomeness. The narrator has a real future.
The Force Unleashed II Looks Bad Ass
by BRAD JACKSON / A Post-Lucas World / George Lucas / star wars / Star Wars Day / The Force Unleashed / Comments
In our second Star Wars themed post, on what is officially “Star Wars Day” (”May the 4th be with you” - my that’s clever), here is the sneak peek at the sequel to one of the coolest video games of all time - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Yeah, I know this trailer has been out there for a little while, but I just saw it today, and well, it’s Star Wars Day, so I’m posting it now. Enjoy.
Driving Darth Vader

Next time you turn on your TomTom, you might hear a new and somewhat foreboding voice giving you directions - the Dark Lord of the Sith himself, Darth Vader.
Were Bullies Wiped Out By Disease?

There’s no other way to explain how this many dorks could convene in a public space and engage in activities that satiate their dorky cravings. It could be that a sacrificial dork offered to create a diversion that allowed this mass light saber battle to transpire undisturbed. They should some sort of statue in honor of this selfless nerdlinger.
All NBC Sitcoms Must Be Involved In Mash-Ups
by MICHAEL TUNISON / NBC / star wars / TV / Comments
I neglected to post this Jabba The Hutt themed parody of the “Parks and Recreation” intro the other day, because, I don’t know, why are asking questions all the time? But I now have a intersecting piece of pop culture ephemera to pair it with, so it’s like I’m serving you a full entree of time wasting, in lieu of just one scrap.
Which is why you should also listen to this mash-up of Lil’ Wayne and “The Office”. Not only is it good, but it complements the video quite nicely. I would embed it here, but whichever program Buzzfeed used doesn’t allow that function, so excuse me for forcing you to click away. Previously we’ve seen people do clever stuff with the “30 Rock” opening sequence. So whither the “Community” parody? Oh right, the intro isn’t really that distinctive. Well, how about we do it anyway for the sake of completeness.
Quick and Edgy: Luck O’ The iPhone
by MICHAEL TUNISON / links / star wars / Comments
I have all these links. What am I supposed to do with all these links? Here, just take a few. Take ‘em. Okay, fine. I’ll just leave ‘em here.
Chad Ochocinco will be the star of a dating show where women will compete for his affections. They must dig all his talk about kissing babies and such.
A short history of the male comedy orgasm. What about the overdramatic ones from the ladies?
A new site purports to be able to identify the location of users on Chatroulette. Finally, you can find out where all the jerking off guys are hanging out.
A keg-filled AT-AT model is used as a sled in a Chicago pub crawl. If nerds actually ventured out into bars, the inventor would never have to pay for a drink again.
I await the female answer to this Mortal Kombat themed band with a two-girl duo of Kitana and Jade.
Vader Adidas Commercial Better Than Resulting Shoe
by MICHAEL TUNISON / Shoes / star wars / Comments
For whatever reason, Adidas is coming out with a line of shoes inspired by Star Wars. To promote them, they put together a lovely video featuring the odd celebrity assortment of DJ Neil Armstrong, David Beckham and Snoop Dogg. A shame that the shoes themselves are decidedly less awesome. You mean a shoe company put more effort into promotion than actual product development? Well, I never!
The Fresh Prince Needs Your Counsel
by MICHAEL TUNISON / Innernette / star wars / YouTubage / Comments
Pranks trading on ’90s pop culture nostalgia are the best pranks of all. Clowning on a religious advice line might be a little on the mean-spirited side, but getting the operator to explain why God is more powerful than Midi-chlorians is going to wipe clean any compunction whatsoever.

Concerned With Facebook Privacy?
There are tools to help if you are concerned with Facebook privacy. And if you were unsure you should be concerned with your privacy on Facebook. The CNN SciTechBlog highlights four of them. Why can’t Google and Facebook chill out a little and not be so concerned with knowing every detail about us in order to monetize every penny they can. Clam down, guys, we just want to use the damn internet. If we want to buy something we’ll let you know.
THREADZombie Awareness Month?
So we can just make up awareness months now? The Zombie Research Society has dubbed May ‘Zombie Awareness Month,’ and it doesn’t appear to be a joke, maybe. You are encouraged to wear a gray ribbon to signify your awareness of zombies for the month of May. This can not be real. On their website they offer a lifetime membership in the society for $25. This is ingeniously crazy. I totally just liked the ZRS on FB.
THREADThe NFL Throwing TV Elbows
Is the NFL a television juggernaut or what? NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said ratings are up 30% from last year’s draft. Thursday night was the first ever NFL draft in prime time, and the major networks will have to take notice when the official ratings come out. Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com reports the league is declaring last night’s first round a success and speculates the draft in prime time will most likely become a yearly tradition. Next year I am predicting there will be a lot of reruns aired against the draft if the networks are smart… which they aren’t.
