Jac's favorite recent pop culture and Internet findings
Happy Half
Christmas, everybody! Celebrate this midpoint to the holiday season
in true Workaholics fashion: Throw a HoneyBaked Ham on the grill, tap the
keg-nog and if you’re lucky enough to not be in a cubicle today, check out Comedy Central’s
Half Christmas programing. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation kicks things
off this morning and the fun continues through 9 p.m. with the Half Christmas
Workaholics episode, “The Strike.” Let’s get weird!
If that’s not
enough to make you stop whining about Mondays, here are 20 Soul-Crushing Summer
Jobs from Pop Culture. Remember, things could always be worse.
There’s always
money in the banana stand!
Meanwhile, in
Sweden, a different citizen has been manning the country’s official Twitter
account each week for the past few months. If you peep @sweden, you’ll find this week’s guest tweeter is a
boring football player who
pretty much uses Twitter as instant messenger, but it could be worse. Like
when this chick took over.
A 27-year-old single
mom named Sonja Abrahamsson got the account
lots of publicity recently with her politically incorrect “humor,” odd photos and
comments about her kids. Mashable highlights her prime tweets, the best of which being this video
(which she posted without comment).
Apparently people
can’t get enough of Shia LeBeouf naked, I mean Sigur Rós’ new video.
Another day,
another video of a young Ryan Gosling bustin’ sweet moves.
(Late-in-the-game side note: Crazy,
Stupid, Love., featuring a really well-groomed Gosling, is actually really
good.) From feminist blogs to news stories about his dreamy ways, the Internet
loves some Ryan Gosling. Of all the options, my favorite is this clip from Mickey Mouse Club (co-starring Justin
Timberlake and *NSYNC’s JC Chasez) featuring a young, baggy-panted RG making
pre-teen hearts melt on stage. Shit gets real at 1:43.
Waiting for Game
of Thrones to return is tough, but thankfully the makers of the HBO hit are keeping
the show in the news: In a very intense scene of the first season, the camera
cuts to a row of dudes’ heads on stakes. Turns out one of ‘em was Dubya’s.
They’re sorry.

Comedy Central’s Workaholics (10:30
p.m. Tuesdays) might not be ground-breaking, but the stoner comedy will
expand your vocabulary, or at least make you feel better about your
crappy job.
