Remember When Phil Hartman Played Regan on SNL? Me Neither.

Those guys on Funny or Die managed to pull of a reunion of the last six presidents even though two are dead.  Listen for a cameo voice over by Ron Howard for extra points!

Ok Go.... Watch This Video

You may already know the band Ok Go for their one take video on the treadmills, but this one is far more impressive. The timing involved for their Rube Goldberg machine is amazing and that alone makes the video worth watching (it also helps that it is a good song). If you are curious about how this was made you can check out Wired for details.

Auto-Tune the News: Maddeningly Addicting

Puggling has recently discovered Auto-Tune the News and it is hilariously addictive.  One of our writers has been listening to this all day and still has not gotten tired of it.

Iranian Protests: Twitter Now Used for Something Other than Talking About Your Cat

The spotty reports coming out of Iran are showing what appears to be a massive protest against the recent elections.  Many of these reports are coming through on social networking sites like Twitter or Facebook.  The Iranian regime is attempting to block access to these sites with very limited success.  There have been thousands of posts on Twitter of video and photos of the protests as well as the violence that has accompanied some of these.  The normal usage of Twitter, blabbing about your stupid cat, is being overshadowed as the amount of these posts grows. 

Much of the organization of these protests is being run through Twitter and today a massive rally was organized in Iran's capital, Tehran, by the opposition leader, Mir Hussein Moussavi.  If these protests continue to gather strength, this will force the regime into a corner and the reaction will likely not be pretty.  The real power in Iran does not rest within the president or with the prime minister, but with the supreme leader, the Ayatollah.  Think of him as one of the crazy cat people on Twitter.  He's getting madder and madder that his tweets aren't being heard over the din of the protesters.  Once he is threatened enough, he is likely to use force to quell this movement. 

Once it gets to the point of force, the situation can become very destabilizing to the entire country.  This will become a power struggle and the entire country could very easily delve into a civil war.  However, if these protests slowly peter out, it is likely not much will change in Iran, and this is how the regime would like this all to end.

Zack Morris Still Has It

He appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon the other night.  Everybody knows that Zack Morris is still awesome and the coolest.  Oh, and Slater was kind of a tool.  Beat Valley!

Hammer Pants

For everyone out there who remembers those glorious days when a man (or woman) could wear parachute pants with confidence, this video is for you.  M.C. Hammer would be proud.  (Our favorite is the old guy in the head band.)

Cuteness Attack!

Have you thought about what it would be like if a cartoon mouse popped up in real life?  Did you wonder will it walk on two feet?  Will it have an oversized head?  Will it have a British accent?  Well, if so you can see that it will!  (Well, everything but the British accent.)

Amazon Product Reviews: Who knew they were so funny?

If you think that product reviews are boring, useless and un-funny, think again.  Those who have written these priceless pieces on the Three Wolf Moon Shirt, deserve to have their work published and distributed all over the world.  Here is one such post in its entirety.  We assure you that you will not be disappointed.

This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that's when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to 'howl at the moon' from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn't have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn't settle for the first thing that comes to him.

I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.

Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the 'guns'), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark.

 This is just a taste of the vast amount of excellent prose that is on this page.  We implore you to explore more over at Amazon.com.

Delightfully Awkward

We here at Puggling have discovered perhaps the most delightfully awkward website ever.  It is called Awkwardfamilyphotos.com. People post horrendous family pics and everyone gets to enjoy them.  Our personal favorite is the one where one guy just doesn't fit in with the rest of his family.  You'll know it when you see it.

Signs of the Collapse of Western Civilization

We here at Puggling were perusing The Internets recently and found some very disturbing things.  The downfall of civilization as we know it is coming soon and these are some of the reasons why:

1. People actually care about Spencer and Heidi.  At least enough for MTV to film it.  We don't even know why we are mentioning it.  Oh yeah.  The apocalypse.
2. Glenn Beck.  The dude is crazy.  Like Jack Nicholson in The Shining crazy.  'Nuff said.
3. The Snuggie.  How are these selling? Seriously.  It's a freaking blanket with holes in it.  There is no way someone should ever pay for this.  Nobody ever thought "gee, I love my blanket, but I wish I could wear it like a muumuu."
4. Isiah Thomas got hired to run something basketball related.  He has managed to kill one basketball league, squander the Indiana Pacers best years in decades, made the New York Knicks waste lots of money, and lose a sexual harassment lawsuit.  Good going FIU.
5. Pirates are the number one threat to America.  They have just been laying low for the past 200 years.  The next threat no one will ever expect...
