Does Fox News know where Egypt is?
That country is actually Iraq. Egypt is in Africa. That's not even the same continent. Granted, most of us wouldn't know that either. That's why we occasionally watch the news — in the hopes that they know where countries are. (via SomeEcards)
Taking it a little further, here is another place Fox may think Egypt could be hiding.

Short, blue and furry could be the next tall, dark and handsome.
Once again proving it's not just a show for kids, Sesame Street spoofs the wildly popular Old Spice ad.
Grover preaches the importance of smelling like a monster and of using the word "on" correctly in the parody of the "Man Your Man Could Smell Like" ad featuring Isaiah Mustafa.
Have a look at the spoof, and the commercial that inspired it.
Here is the Sesame Street video.

Have you noticed that news is becoming Info-Porn? With multitudes of titles, it comes in many shapes and sizes — but you know it when you see it.
Follow the formula and the content doesn't seem to matter. It starts with a lackluster establishing shot, followed by a walking and talking preamble. Next various facts will pop on the screen as if you're watching a bad PowerPoint presentation … We are exposed to a seemingly endless variety of sameness.
For a funny take on this, watch Charlie Brooker's – How To Report The News from the BBC. I thought this short video was well-done and quite clever.
Have fun.

President Obama played a game of H-O-R-S-E with former NBA star Clark Kellogg during the Final Four telecast yesterday. My expectations were low, and I expected it to be corny.
Unlike the North Korean Supreme Leader's penchant for hitting fictional hole-in-one shots on the golf course, Obama started slow and was willing to show some weakness. Nonetheless, throughout the video, he seemed confident and athletic. Moreover, the bantering and interplay seemed to provide some insights into the President's psyche.
All-in-all, I thought it was a good move by him … and that it did a nice job of polishing-up his image and reminding people why he is so popular.
Here's the video from CBS sports.
As you may know, Obama is a lefty. When asked if he can you go to his right, Obama replies: "I can go to my right, but I prefer my left."
One more note, Obama's personal aide is Reggie Love, a former Duke basketball player.
