This Week in Awesome (3/27/10)

Welcome back, it's time for the usual weekend foolishness. (In case I haven't pointed this out before, I post these things on Saturdays so you can feel like you'll have enough time to check them out at your leisure.)

So yesterday the interwebs were abuzz with a video of a dog chewing pieces off the bumper of a police car in Chattanooga, TN. I only mention it as a public service in case any of you missed it. (The Awl via BuzzFeed)

Are you old enough to remember when customized vans were cool? If not, you probably think of vans differently. (Hemmings Auto Blog)

A bunch of actors and comedians got together and did a benefit to raise money to rebuild schools in Haiti. Each participant read a favorite tweet onstage, and there were 140 participants (get it?). Ben Stiller filmed the event, and you can buy a download of it for a donation of only $3 at Amazon or iTunes, and you can watch the trailer here. Among the participants, Rich Sommer, who plays Harry on Mad Men, stands out. Even if you've never seen the show, you can probably figure out which one is him if you watch the trailer. (Put This On)
