9:51 pm: Does Don Draper's fate matter? Mad Men fans talked the last week about whether or not Megan is already dead, and then whether or not Bob Benson is a spy. [And about the Red Wedding, too.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=grdzCU3VbJ4?rel=0 Remember just a couple of days ago when we discussed that this NBA playoff commercial might be the best playoff commercial of 2013? We'd like to take our vote back. ESPN has raised the bar with this incredible piece of animation from London-based animator Richard Swarbrick which highlights some of the greatest moments in […]
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Sd8FAq-yk0s?list=PL060099DCEC8CD30A For someone born 2 weeks after Super Bowl XX, it's hard for me to imagine just how big the '85 Bears must have been in popular culture.

Well…this ad certainly caught our attention. It's pretty hard to […]
