Here’s the rest of some of Lady Internet’s finest offerings:

Pretty killer animation..type..thing. It’s cool, trust me.

Jane Austen meets Fight Club. Self-explanatory…

Some gems from the interweb. I mined them especially for you. Not you, you.

Random rant about badminton. It goes on for so long. What were the producers thinking during this and how weird would have been to be watching the Olympics and be subjected to this segement? More bizarre than hilarious.

Unbelievable bike tricks by the late Danny MacAskill

Update: looks like MacAskill is not dead. Curse you, internet rumors!

Part II coming tomorrow…

Killer video layout of some guy’s run through the classic Super Mario Brothers projected on a building. Looks incredible. (via Mental Floss)

While I definitely don’t appreciate people randomly bashing England and the national side’s chances in the World Cup, I certainly do appreciate unbridled support for the U.S. National Team. Not really looking foward to the game tomorrow, just ready for it to be over so I can go back to cheering for both teams. That being said – this U.S. video makes so hype I want to fight people. Fight their faces. Let that be a warning if you watch it at work. I don’t want to be responsible for any brawls with HR…

Figured I’d run through a few dope links that have been floating around on the internet as well as some sweet items from the larger pop culture universe.

Links:

A sweet link for you LOST fans yearning for our favorite castaways to be reborn in an old school computer RPG strategy game. I would definitely play this and try and ride on the polar bear.

Check out the promo posters for each country in the upcoming World Cup. I like the ones for Slovenia, Denmark, Algeria and the U.S. the best.

Cool TV Channels:

In the vast landscape of current digital cable packages, one can be truly overwhelmed by all of the selection. A choice overload. An impossible quest to justify your cable bill by viewing all channels and ensuring hidden gems haven’t escaped you. Well I’m here to help. A little. Here are two channels I’ve found in the midst of my digital catalogue that offer unique programming worthy of your time.

Chiller:

Horror flicks, murder stories, sci-fi weirdness and everyone’s favorite monster movies. You can check out things like Dark Floors this Friday night where a man and his daughter try to escape from a hospital terrorized by demons. I think most people consider their HMOs to be the demons, am I right? Hey-oh! Anyone? My favorite part about the promo picture is that the demon is wearing a leather jacket. Not enough for you? Next Friday is The Slaughter which features six college students awakening ancient demons after they’re hired to clean an old house. Is June national demon month? It’s the perfect channel for slasher flicks and all-around horror fun. They also show reruns of Twin Peaks and any station that supports Special Agent Dale Cooper is alright with me.

truTV:

Formally known as Court TV, truTv offers killer programming like Party Heat, which is about cops policing spring break destinations. It’s COPS meets Girls Gone Wild. Sign me up. I also watched a show on there one time about drinking. One part followed all these different people around the world as they took a camera out with them every night for a month, and they tried to determine if they had a drinking problem. I’m pretty sure this one guy in England was on the verge of alcoholism, but he seemed so happy you couldn’t help but pull for him to knock back another shot. It was a pretty awesome show, as all of the other segments revolved around drinking too. One was about sharing embarassing drinking stories and the hostess, a striking young brunette (of course), did not hold back. Good times all around. This channel is definitely worth an inspection as we approach the land of crappy summer television scheduling.

Fun & Games

And finally, I’d like to shed some light on a game that is going viral right as you’re reading this. A couple of weeks ago, three people I follow on Twitter, all in parts of the country very far from each other, wrote about icing someone down or getting iced. What could this mean? Was it as gross as it sounded? I needed to know more. I soon learned the origin of this strange icing and discovered it was a game. A drinking game. Perhaps the easiest drinking game ever devised. Since then I have been iced personally and done a bit of Cranberry-Lime icing of my own. Want to know what the hell I’m talking about? Head over to this site and find out all you ever wanted to know. Be careful, it could be habit-forming.

Ever heard of the demographic phrase “middle America”? Get ready for a glimpse into that world. A world that keeps the show Two and a Half Men on top of the comedy ratings and where one can never have enough varieties of Doritos or Mountain Dew. And while this woman is a glaring example of why the rest of the world mocks us for our obesity and unfounded arrogance, you can’t help but wish for one split second you could leave behind your sarcastic, jaded viewpoint and be as emotionally invested in something, anything, as she is in the outcome of American Idol. Still the Land of the Free at least…

Check out this dude totally showing everyone up at his sixth grade talent show. More importantly check out the ladies in the audience performing some legitimate teen-girl swooning. Swoon! This dude is going to score some serious hand-holding in home room…

Rad video of Welsh farmers making art out of sheep. Sheep-art.

A little ridiculous humor for you to start your Thursday off right. Buy a mattress or that kitten blood is on your hands…

Friend of the show, Keith Mags, introduced me to a relative of his who is a bonafide star in the great commonwealth of Kentucky: Larry Maglinger, Rod Stewart tribute artist. He’s somewhat of a newcomer to the world of celebrity impersonation, but he has the goods to be a star. I think he should take his show out to Vegas, but for now you’ll have to travel to the unheralded venues that are Owensboro Kentucky’s bars and fairgrounds. You do what you have to do to find greatness. I know you’ll want more after checking out the video below, so head on over to Larry’s website and slake your Stewart thirst.
