Here’s today’s links you need to click.

  • Via Len Kendall, I give you “Galactic Empire State of Mind,” from College Humor, of course.
  • The rumors are true. Ricky Martin is gay. I don’t know how this stayed quiet for so long. /sarcasm. But like Andrew Hampp says, An entire generation of Justin Bieber fans asks, “Ricky who?”
  • For all of you “24″ fans, you’ll appreciate BuddyTV’s list of Jack Bauer’s Top 5 Human Rights Violations.
  • Check out this great piece from “Nightline” on MTV and the changes the network has made / is making to get to where it is today. (yes, I’m biased)
  • Wanna advertise during the series finale of ABC’s “Lost” later this spring? It’ll cost you $900,000. [via wired]
  • Over at Technologizer, Harry McCracken gives a look back at (gasp!) Microsoft Bob, launched fifteen years ago this week.
  • Aaaaand, last but not least, play Jason. You know you want to. [via Jenn]

Lady Gaga “Telephone” spoof

If you haven’t seen this spoof of Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” video yet, you should probably waste a few minutes on it.

Reba!

Well, I heard some funny things on Twitter last night from friends on the East Coast who’d already caught SNL, and figured I’d share something that I got a kick out of with the rest of you, if you haven’t already seen it. Oh, it’s prolly not safe for work… Get ready for Andy Samberg and ummm “Reba McEntire” like you’ve never seen.

If we all drank in the office like “Mad Men”

On Thursday, Jason Kottke posted an excellent item about drinking in the office like we were all on AMC’s “Mad Men,” which is an especially funny thought, even if you’ve never watched the show. For me, this is even more funny given a conversation I was in on Wednesday night and tweeted about while walking to the Union Square subway station, that I’m including here for your reading amusement.

Check out what happened when the fine folks at Double X got their drink on, below…

The Ed Hardy Boyz in your area

Funny or Die puts out yet another hit with “The Ed Hardy Boyz: The Case of the Missing Sick Belt Buckle” that you know you want to waste some of your hard-earned life minutes watching.

With a twofer going after Affliction, too.

I Threw It On The Ground

Andy Samberg takes not “being part of your system” to a whole new level, and pays for it in the end, in a digital short from last night’s SNL.

Also, If that wasn’t enough for you, make sure you check up on when Madonna and Lady Gaga showed up for “Deep House Dish” – it’s fascinating. “Saturday Night Live” for the win. Well, except for that Obama sketch at the open.

[update] Over at CliqueClack TV, Keith has posted the lyrics to “On The Ground,” for those of you interested in that sort of thing.

On Reply-To-All Buttons

Here’s an actual email I was just sent, with the names and company (it’s not mine) removed to protect the guilty, for your reading amusement.

To Whom it may concern.

I am an employee with [company redacted] and wanted to see if I could get the “Reply to All” buttom removed from my colleagues e-mail systems. As you can see from the e-mail below along with HUNDREDS of other examples, they cannot be trusted with this feature.

Please let me know at your earliest convenience how to remove this before I punch myself in the face.

Thank you very much.
