Deep Thoughts By No-Look McFadden: Episode 47


#1
This video-game satire commercial for Gamewave is just freaking brilliant, including one of the best taglines of all-time: “Vaginas might not even exist, for all you know!”

#2
In 2005, David Foster Wallace gave a commencement speech at Kenyon College. And it was eye-opening and borderline genius, challenging default settings and the way you can choose—yes, choose—to look at the world. It rocked me. And that is a good thing.

#3
Just in case you were interested in a take on Occupy Wall Street from a decidedly British perspective.

#4
Only NC State would have a weekly interview with the team physician on the radio. I mean, seriously, that says it all about the injury situation seemingly every year in Raleigh.

#5
As someone who digs musical documentaries (or rock-you-mentaries), I have to say that the “From the Sky Down” documentary of U2 looks pretty freaking amazing.

#6
I’ll go ahead and say that this guy pretty much misses the boat on UNC, but all in all, this Pitt fan’s open letter to the ACC is hysterically accurate.

#7
Interested in uplifting news coming out of Africa as a change of pace? Then this positively mesmerizing photography of East African wildlife is for you.

#8
No one had really taken a shot at Bill “Rotten Tuna” Parcells since Jeremy Shockey called him ghey a few years back, so I’m glad somebody finally got around to eviscerating him. I just wish it was a writer who wasn’t quite as lazy and self-promotional as Jason Whitlock.

#9
A not-so-popular view of Steve Jobs here in the wake of the post-mortem Jobs jobs going on, but one that certainly deserves -- and needs -- to be considered as well.

#10
The disappearance of Borders has met with little fanfare in most quarters. Until this epic goodbye letter from a Borders employee hit the Intertubes.
