It's been a little more challenging lately to cull the good stuff from the internet, but I keep at it, because you guys deserve it.
Did I hear someone ask for more Community bloopers? (Well no, of course I didn't, you can't hear through the computer, silly. Must be the dog talking to me from the other room...) This is your lucky day, then. (Entertainment Weekly via Videogum)
A creative person has applied a kaleidoscopic effect to Google Maps satellite images. (The Daily What via Waxy)
Did you happen to see those bizarre Summer's Eve ads (since pulled by the company)? If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry: Stephen Colbert gets you up to speed on the whole thing. Seriously, just watch this.
And finally this week, to mark the 30th anniversary of the debut of MTV, TIME has compiled a list of the 30 greatest music videos, not in any particular order, but split more or less evenly between the three decades of MTV's existence. Some of them are no-brainers while others are debatable, but that's why such lists exist—to be debated. If nothing else, it's a nice nostalgia trip for those of us who spent a lot of time zoning out to MTV back in the '80s.
Man I have to agree with your analysis of the Time Magazine List. Journalists who create these lists are lazily drawing a paycheck without any in-depth research or surveying of actual metrics. I looked at the list and thought it really, really, really lame.
