What can I say? I just love the idea of a monkey riding a dog delivering burritos.

I have a theory that anything involving badgers is funny. See if you agree with me:

There’s also a moment in the "Simpsons" episode "A Tale Of Two Springfields" where Homer gets attacked by a badger. Because Fox hates the internet, I can’t get it for you, but trust me, it’s brilliant. For more information about badgers, go to What Badgers Eat Dot Com.

Bostonist found this video of McLovin and Ed Helms reminding you to vote and explaining how votes are counted by a multi-tentacled alien on the moon. Since it’s Super Fat Tuesday, with 24 states nominating someone today, the odds are pretty good you should vote today.

A groundswell of outrage seems to be building over at least one of SalesGenie.com’s stupid racist Super Bowl ads. As seen below, a couple of cartoon Pandas with caricatured Chinese accents star. Nice. Read the reaction here and here and here and here and…

It appears this company may have spent $2.7 million a spot to drive itself right out of business. Another SalesGenie.com ad from earlier in the game features a hapless, stubbled-chinned Indian or Pakistani salesman with seven children who appears only slightly less caricatured than Apu Nahasapeemapetalan. Why SalesGenie, why?

It’s still not going to make me drink the beer, but the new Budweiser “dude” spot is a brilliant piece of linguistics and the advertising arts. Slate’s Ad Report Card gives it an A-, possibly because it doesn’t sell the actual beer enough, but I think that as entertainment it’s got to be an A.

Sure, the Patriots and that other team are going to be a big part of the Super Bowl festivities this February 3, but we all know the real point of the game: Advertising. That’s why I tune in, anyway. ONTD has a list of some of the major advertisers who have bought spots for the game: Carmakers and movie studios, of course, and also Budweiser, Coke, CareerBuilder, and Frito Lay. From my perspective, it looks like the biggest showdown is going to be between Coke and G2, a new low-calorie sports drink from PepsiCo’s Gatorade division. The outcome hinges on whether football fans are athletes, or drinkers of corn-syrupy soda. OK, obviously, corn syrup is going to win that challenge –  but can it beat the spread?

I think I’d eat a lot more toast if it had a picture of a panda burned into it. The weather-toaster is also kind of neat, sure, but it’s not actually available commercially. This is:
