The mercury is falling, finally. And the beats from DJ William F-ing Reed will keep your weekend even cooler. Listen, love, repeat.

Living up to the hype surrounding the making (Drew Barrymore directs), Best Coast’s Our Deal tells the story of a Night Creeper and Day Trotter in love. Think Grease meets West Side Story set against a catchy pop tune. But you know, that’s not our deal.

Meghan McCain, the famously outspoken daughter of Cindy and Senator John McCain is making headlines again, this time for appearing ‘topless’ in a TV commercial. Of course, it’s nowhere near as racy as it sounds, as she’s actually one of several minor celebs who (tastefully) flash some skin to promote skin cancer awareness. Click here to see the 100% safe for work video yourself.

The issue is a personal one for Meghan, as both her parents have suffered from outbreaks of skin cancer, with Senator McCain still sporting a scar on his face from a melanoma cancer that had to be surgically removed. But that hasn’t stopped the talking heads in the media from freaking the F out, including the walking-talking windbag that is Glenn “buy gold coins” Beck, who made vomit sounds while watching the clip on his show and suggested Meghan needed to wear more clothing, maybe even a ‘burka,’ or a head-to-toe Muslim robe.

Which infuriated both of the McCain women, with Cindy lashing out on Twitter and Meghan penning a searing response essentially calling Beck a fat, sexist, a-hole. »READ MORE

Love everything about this new video by Danger Beach, from the minimalist-but-irresistibly-catchy melody, to the ah-mazing illustrations. Please to enjoy.

The crazy Swiss stuntman known as Jet-Man, rocketed around the Grand Canyon yesterday for some unknown reason.  And while we’re not sure falling out of a helicopter with a jet-pack and a parachute strapped to your back counts as an accomplishment, the video’s still pretty cool. Meanwhile, children of the 80′s will get a kick out of this version set to the music from Top Gun.

Ever wonder what iconic rockers, The Beatles thought about anti-immigration hysteria? Us neither until we watched this grainy clip from 1969, where Paul, John and the boys sing “The Commonwealth Song,” sarcastically suggesting that immigrants from Pakstan, India and beyond need to ‘Get back because they’re too common for the [British] commonwealth.’

Osama Bin Laden, the murderous terrorist mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks on America, has been killed following a firefight with US forces. A lead about his whereabouts apparently surfaced last August, and he was eventually tracked to a compound deep inside neighboring Pakistan. And just last week, the intelligence was considered firm enough to send troops/covert operatives in to search the area.

And sometime over the past few days Bin Laden was killed in a battle with the American troops and his body has been reportedly returned to a US base in Afghanistan and was positively identified through DNA.

President Obama, who just spoke to American people, said simply, “Justice has been done.”

Sounds like somebody’s got a cause of the Mondays. May we prescribe this ridiculously-cute video of a penguin being tickled? For no other reason than it’s damned adorable.

You may no go back to mindlessly filling out TPS Reports and yelling at the office printer.

Who needs coffee when you can watch a couple of mountain-biking maniacs fly, literally, down the side of mountain? One more thing, the ‘race course’ is actually just a crazy-dangerous track slicing across the streets of a congested South American city.

We have no idea what’s going on here, but you had us at Will Ferrell playing a cowbell  in a Beastie Boys video. It turns of the B-Boys are releasing a new album called Hot Sauce Committee Part 2–although we don’t remember ever seeing Part 1. Either way, enjoy this preview of a 30 minute short film the iconic rappers put together featuring a true smorgasbord of some the funniest people on Earth. So far we’ve spotted John C. Reilly, Seth Rogan, Jack Black, Will Arnet, Rainn Wilson, Orlando Bloom, Steve Buscemi (and Elijiah Wood? and Susan Sarandon?).

It’s not been a great week for Scottsdale-based Go Daddy, the nation’s largest Internet domain registrar. In case you missed it, CEO Bob Parsons has come under attack from animal activists after posting a video of him shooting (and then gloating over) the dead body of an elephant in Zimbabwe that he contends had been endangering the livelihood of local farmers. (We’d link to the video itself, but it’s since been pulled from the Interwebs. Don’t worry, you can see clips from ABC 15′s coverage after the jump, sicko).

Now fellow domain registrar provider, NameCheap is turning Go Daddy’s gaffe into growth, as it’s lured away more than 20,000 former customers by offering to donate money to Save the Elephants every time a former Go Daddy customer switches to its service, raising some $20K for the charity.

That said, when will someone punish Go Daddy for foisting those G*d awful Super Bowl ads upon the American public, featuring what’s her name, the local racecar diva?

Have you seen the Direct TV commercial with the miniature giraffe called “Opulence, I Has It”? (If not, do yourself a favor and watch it the video link below.) Either way, ladies and gentleman, meet the breeder of those ridiculously-cute miniature giraffes from that commercial…

Or not. After poking around their website, this is either a completely ridiculous and elaborate (Go Direct TV) hoax, or they’re legit. And yes, we realize that if they are in fact real, they are animals not objects. Really this is just an excuse to point out their adorableness, real or otherwise.

See a full gallery of photos (calling all Photoshop experts) and sign the “I Want Giraffe Wait-list” here because apparently, the latest newborn is reserved for a Prince. So you know, you’ve got that to compete with.

Quick, can you name this 12-year-old dribbling sensation appearing on Late Show with Johnny Carson? (Who’s Johnny Carson?, says anyone under the age 25.) Yes, that’s University of Arizona basketball coach, Sean Miller, rocking worlds tightest pair of pants. Expecting a flood, coach? Watch Miller’s latest amazing feat this Thursday as he tries to lead the underdog Arizona Wildcats over those damned Duke Blue Devils.

Did you notice the moon seemed particularly large and bright last night, while you we we’re out drinking way too much green beer? Well it’s only going to get bigger and brighter according to those super-geeks at NASA. Turns out the moon’s going to be closer to the earth than it’s been on nearly two decades during Saturday’s full moon, creating an (awesomely-named) Extreme Supermoon. Enjoy this video and then enjoy the show.
