Teriyaki Boyz feat. Pharrell & Chris Brown - ‘Work That’
I’m probably in the minority here, but I actually like this song. Granted it’s about a minute longer than it needs to be, and the Chris Brown second bridge isn’t really necessary, but, all in all, it’s still pretty fresh.
Oh, in case it wasn’t clear by the artist, this is Japanese pop music.
Nike Zoom Kobe IV commercial
This commercial is pretty dumb, BUT check out the thumbnail, it’s the Air Yeezys (!!!) in a brand new (great) colorway. I know it’s completely overhyped, but I’m pretty much infatuated with the shoe— to a very unhealthy extent.
Also, there’s a pair of the Entourage ‘Turtles’ featured at the begining of the ad as well.

Granted, the rumor is only from a trader in emerging markets who has been working with the brand, and whether or not a fast food chain is going to try to expand their business at a time like this is unclear, BUT, seeing as how Bojangles is one of the best fried chicken ever, and with amazing sides and breakfast options (OH HELLO BO’BERRY BISCUIT), I could not be any more excited at this...
SNOW!!!
EDIT: It’s all over now.

Les Moonves was talking some real junk today
Moonves: I'm here to tell you the model ain't broke. You can still make a lot of money in network television. We like 10 o'clock shows.
...
Moonves: For NBC, probably a very good move. For us, it wouldn't be a good move. We are winning four of five nights at 10 p.m.
...
Moonves: I would bet anyone who would like to bet that 'CSI: Miami' will beat Jay by a lot.
Moonves: Remember: by a lot.
...
Moonves: Certain people are having audience erosion and certain people aren't. We aren't.

Moonves: Jeff Zucker can s my d.

Serious Eats: Shake Shack now takes phone orders? →
Just call: 212-889-6600
Amir claims that they’ve been doing this for awhile, I refute that claim. Feel free to tie-break.
UPDATE: Says Jeff Rubin—
Shake Shack does pick-up orders during the winter
i believe last winter was the firstthey package everything up and label it, making it very easy for one person to pick up a lot of food and split it
