Get it? "Independence Day?!"
Um, happy 4th of July from Blogbdon to all of my many, many readers, many, many, many readers (i.e. Connor and fam):

This is beyond awesome:
With Leather is proud to honor the Worst Brother Ever, who created this videotape of a kid whose mother had literally just cancelled his World of Warcraft account...I’m sure this kid didn’t have hundreds of hours logged into that game. No, not at all.

Hot video, hot beat, hot song...and it's becoming pretty clear that "Till the Casket Drops" is gonna be a hot album, the first video/single from which follows:
Impressive how Kanye is able to really hold his own with them.

There comes a time in every blog's life where a post is so perfect that it truly transcends the existence of the blog. In fact, the post is so good, and its content so utterly spectacular, that it necessarily renders every subsequent blog post inferior for the rest of time. Well, my friends, the new Nike LeBron James - Kobe Bryant puppet commercial is out, and this post is officially that post.*
The below commercial, 33 second of pure, unadulterated bliss, is so good and shits on LeBron so hard that it took me a full three days (until ...
Well at least I thought it was mad random. It turns out, though, that the acclaimed director behind Se7en, Fight Club & (the vastly underrated) The Game is a huge Mac-head (or whatever you call it) too. Fincher took some time out of his successful film career to direct "Break In," a relatively clever commercial that, most importantly, marks the debut television appearance of the gorgeous iPhone 3GS, the phone that mysteriously looks identical to my current iPhone but that I would literally murder someone for right now.

So Tiger, Jack, Kenny Perry and Stewart Cink, all played together in the Memorial Skins Challenge this afternoon, and not only did Tiger take home the lion's share of cash, but he also did so in a way only he could. There were four skins that had carried over to the 18th, and Tiger hit a clutch putt to deny Kenny Perry the win. With five skins now carrying over, the four players decided to have a closest to the pin contest from off the 18th green, and Tiger decided to show off by holing his chip....
The guy is just ...
The new Lonely Island (by way of Andy Samberg) & Justin Timberlake musical collaboration aired on last night's SNL, and the result, as usual, is awesome. It's called "Motherlover," and, in a tribute to Mother's Day, it is incredibly crude - but in a hysterical way. This stuff really never gets old to me, and my respect for Timberlake just keeps on going up and up in what I hope will remain a completely heterosexual way. Enjoy, and don't forget to send this one to your mom:

Apparently shot with a state-of-the-art $100,000 camera as a trailer for some sort of BBC series, this has to be one of the sickest things I've ever seen (and obviously don't watch it below unless it's in HD):

Just a great take on those NBA Playoff commercials...cheap laughs? Maybe. But brilliant? Definitely.
(Plus, I had no idea Eddie House's headband did a full rotation on his head until I watched it in slo-mo here, so this is definitely worth a watch if only for that)

Makes you simultaneously want to shoot heroin/a gun, enter a twist contest and vomit profusely all at the same time (in a spectacularly good way):

First, hats off to the three-time major winner Padraig for being a good sport and trying this out, attempting to answer the question that has been boggling each one of our minds since the very first time we watched Adam Sandler's seminal golf movie twelve years ago (yeah, twelve years): does the Happy Gilmore actually work?
Padraig does his best to answer that question, and to some surprising results (+30 yards), though, admittedly, things are relatively boring until about the 3:00 minute mark for all you other A.D.D.'ers out there:
