Is this the world's most bike-friendly city?
Sadly, it was just a demonstration with a junk luxury car [oxymoron alert!] not an actual illegal parker.

AT LAST! Or AT LOST!
A cutting-room floor clip from "Lost", shown at San Diego Comic-Con, that, if it had aired, would've answered most of the Big Questions in the first season, including one that was NEVER answered.

Oh Baby...
California Lieutenant Governor, ex-San Francisco Mayor and Outspoken Gay Marriage Supporter Gavin Newsom just announced that his wife has given birth to their second child. Backdating, that would put the conception right in the heat of the campaign that got him elected. Now THAT's the kind of political sex story I can get behind.

Les Bubb's
Mutant Mime Act, with dashes of prop comedy, illusions, lip syncing and influences from Bill Irwin to Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean to Howie ("no, not the rubber glove!!") Mandel. Some repetition among the 4 clips but still a lot of fun. (recommended by Evanier)

Build Your Own "Watson Jr." in Your Basement
by an IBM insider. Maybe not powerful enough to win on "Jeopardy", but you'll probably clean up on "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?"

Don't Fear the Reaper on Discworld
From the So Bad It's Good department: a fan-made video of the Classic Rock staple using scenes from a lamely-animated version of Terry Pratchett's "Soul Music" that made the personification of Death look like Skeletor from He-Man.

A fake movie site
is the front for the latest New Pornographers video, a star-studded, high-production megaspoof. (yes, it's cynical viralbait but I don't care - just enjoy).

NOM NOM NO NO
Proudly controversial webcomicker Zach Weiner's "Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal" did a comic that the anti-gay "National Orginization for Marriage" interpreted as showing a 'technological threat to traditional marriage', so they put it on their blog (currently down), by 'hotlinking' it. So Weiner changed the image (totally SFW).

Who needs online-dating?
As a rule, the ASPCA's advertising and promotion avoids the kind of controversy that (for example) PETA pursues. In light of that, its Valentines Day campaign for pet adoption is either immensely cute or rather creepy. (I guess it depends on what you're looking for in a date.)
