Personally, as a matter of style, I don’t use the Oxford comma, but I’m always of the camp that whichever style you choose, you be consistent with it. And XKCD covered it here.
That’s it for now, but I’ll be back with more soon, Happy Thanksgiving!
Alright, let’s see what we have today. First up, the new trailer for Kick Ass 2 (NSFW):

A Firefly MMO has been announced, although it appears to be exclusively for mobile phones. Will be interesting to see what it’s like, but it may be too late.
A great ad campaign which uses national flags. Very well done.
I have a bunch of stuff to pass on, but I cut the tip of my index finger, so typing is strange, at best. I’ll see what I can do, but I should be back soon with the rest of what I have (unless work does in fact manage to kill me this week).
If you truly believe that labor unions are so evil and/or unnecessary—indeed, un-American—then why don’t you volunteer to give up all the rights and benefits the labor movement has won for working Americans over the past 140 years? You know, little things like the 8-hour workday, weekends, paid overtime, paid sick, holiday and vacation days, child labor laws, workplace safety, workers compensation for on-job injuries, unemployment insurance, health care insurance, maternity leave and family medical leave… not to mention the minimum wage, Social Security, and Medicare, plus a whole lot of other things I’m probably forgetting.
Go ahead, give those things up. Because without organized labor, you wouldn’t have any of those rights or benefits in the first place.
In honor of President’s Day, Nerve has ranked the Presidents and First Ladies in terms of sexiness. You should easily be able to guess who tops the First Lady list, but, points for this description of number 28:
Abigail Adams was not the ugliest first lady, by any means. Just frighteningly severe and voted most likely to “cut a bitch.”
What if the Mississippi River was really a transit map? This is really cool, although I was sad to see the Yough wasn’t listed.
Also, I’m really excited that the Scottish Deer Hound won Westminster! I saw it for the first time on Thanksgiving and think it’s a really cool dog!
Thank you James Earl Jones, for everything:

Okay, let’s play a game with youtube. Of the two following movie trailers, one is for a “Direct to YouTube” movie. The other is a trailer for a Porn. See if you can tell them apart:
