Annie Churdar Contributor

By Annie Churdar in Video on Tuesday 18 June 2013

Psy’s latest mega hit, Gentleman, just got a serious re-working! The Korean pop song from the artist behind “Gangnam Style” was extremely popular on it’s own. But ScottBradleeLovesYa of the Youtube community decided to make a version of the song that even J Gatsby would start tapping his toes to. I love this vintage take on the song. And the Korean [...]

Ken Cosgrove of Mad Men dances to Daft Punk

Annie Churdar Contributor

By Annie Churdar in Video on Saturday 15 June 2013

I love Daft Punk’s newest album. Something about the dated, cinematic feel of the music strikes a chord with me. I feel like I’m listening to some groovy hit from my Dad’s generation. It just feels classy. And speaking of classy, it doesn’t get much more classy than the hit TV show, Mad Men. This [...]

If Indiana Jones and Darth Vader had a face-off, who would win? There’s only one rule: you can’t use the force. YouTube user PatrickBoivin may have thought that rule made the fight fair in his clever stop-motion short video, but let’s stop and think about it.

Annie Churdar Contributor

By Annie Churdar in Video on Friday 14 June 2013

As a kid, my brothers and I would race Big Wheelies and Barbie tricycles down extreme inclines for fun. It was always a fierce competition and playing dirty was encouraged. Needless to say, it warmed my heart to find this group of tough guys who compete in Extreme Barbie Jeep racing as adults. They’re living the dream so [...]

Low Lai Chow Contributor

By Low Lai Chow in Video on Tuesday 4 June 2013

Christopher Walken just scares us. Even when he’s doing something as mundane as cooking chicken in a kitchen. Even when he’s scooping an unholy amount of salt into the chicken. Even when he’s mumbling with his mouth full of caramelized pear, “Mm! Very nice, perfect with the chicken.” When the dish is finally done, even [...]
