Erotic fantasies about Garfield (NSFW)

Posted by Martin Poulter on 30 October 2009

A true hero

Posted by Martin Poulter on 23 October 2009

86-year-old WWII veteran Philip Spooner has become an instant national hero in the states for his contribution to a debate on gay marriage in Maine. Worth viewing in a week when hateful politics have been much in the news. (via MetaFilter and BoingBoing)

In the style of Autotune the News, this mashup sets Carl Sagan, Neil DeGrasse Tyson and others to music. Thanks Alex for the recommendation.
