This is the teaser for Volkswagen’s Super Bowl commercial. Outside of the the beaver saving the motorist commercial, the best ad from 2011 was easily the “kid Vader” one Volkswagen put out. This might beat it:

Pardon my French, but sh*t like this makes me want to cut a b*tch:

Mind-grapes liquified into mind-jelly:

Structurally-sound bridges are optional, and pizza is now a vegetable: we humans can’t seem to agree on ANYthing. Meanwhile, birds and dogs are communicating without speech and benefitting from one another symbiotically.

Come on, guys! These two get it—why can’t we?

File under “Adorable”: This was submitted to Daily Picks and Flicks last week with the caption “After not seeing my dog for five months, I Skyped with him last night. My mom sent me this picture after we disconnected.”

Meredith has been on my case for over a year to buy or develop a kitty phone so we can keep in touch with Oliver when we’re out of town (Bigby is a bitey jerk who’s only here for the free food—we’re pretty sure he hates us), but Skype seems like a better method thanks to the video capability.

We already know about how Swedish moose like to party. But now we get a little insight into the mysterious lives of Swedish elk!

Snapped by Peter Lundgren of Lindome, Sweden while getting some fresh air on his balcony, these three elk were just hanging out, nomming some (let’s face it, probably fermented) apples before they got down to business.

Apparently elk business is conducted in much the same way dog business is, but with input from the elk in the cubicle nextdoor. Someone needs to proof these contracts before we get them notarized, Larry!

Have a great weekend, guys!

Remember when I went to Germany a couple months back? Man, that was awesome. My big take-away from the trip though was that Germans (or at least Berliners) love five things is approximately equal measure:

• Beer

• Bicycling

• Dogs

• Cigarettes

• Asparagus

Well, the geniuses over there have decided to combine at least two of those things (and there’s no smoking ban over there, and if they serve asparagus poppers at the bar, watch out!) with the Bier Bike. I apologize for the lack of English, but basically, it seems a lot like a much less-annoying version of the Duck Tours.

Bier Bike tourists pay to pedal around a huge bike and drink beer. You know, like you do. Like everyone does. Even Duckie.

Dr. Venkman was right.
