This Week in Awesome (5/28/11)

I hope you're enjoying the weekend. The air conditioners went in on Friday, which we think is the earliest we've ever had to install them. Since (hopefully) most of you have an extra day off, this week there's an extra-large batch:

Justin Timberlake hosted the season finale of Saturday Night Live, and in the tradition of "Dick in a Box" and "Motherlover," the Digital Short, featuring the show's musical guest Lady Gaga, was "3-Way (The Golden Rule)."

boston.com has featured their "best doughnut shops in greater Boston" list several times over the past couple of months (including this morning). It's either a ploy to get every local blogger to link to it, or part of a secret plot to fatten all of us up for the impending alien invasion.

Related, sort of: a tumblr collection of out-of-shape celebs. (Thrillist)

Many, many people were hoping this vintage ad was real, but it seems it's a rather elaborate fake. (BoingBoing via Put This On)

And finally this week, Amy Poehler gave a great speech at Harvard's pre-commencement Class Day ceremonies, reminding us again why she is the essence of awesome. (Harvard magazine via Jezebel)
