They also have one for Gatorade but it's just the current G logo, which is boring. If someone who didn't know the logo saw it they'd have no idea what a "G" button does.

I actually triggers a member of G Unit coming to your house and rapping.

It took about 10 years, but you made me lol irl.

I mean, it's my "house" champagne. I don't drink champagne "everyday".

Drew Daniel (Matmos) tweeted about this:

Make the Censors Watch 'Paint Drying'

The British Board of Film Certification (previously known as the British Board of Film Censors) was established in 1912 to ensure films remained free of 'indecorous dancing', 'references to controversial politics' and 'men and women in bed together', amongst other perceived indiscretions.

Today, it continues to censor and in some cases ban films, while UK law ensures that, in effect, a film cannot be released in British cinemas without a BBFC certificate.

Each certificate costs around £1000 for a feature film of average length. For many independent filmmakers, such a large upfront can prove prohibitively expensive.

Luckily, there?s a flipside to all of this: while filmmakers are required to pay the BBFC to certify their work, the BBFC are also required to sit through whatever we pay them to watch.

That?s why I?m Kickstarting a BBFC certificate for my new film Paint Drying ? a single, unbroken shot of white paint drying on a brick wall. All the money raised by this campaign (minus Kickstarter's fees) will be put towards the cost of the certificate, so the final length of the film will be determined by how much money is raised here.

For instance, if we raise £108.59, the film will be one minute long. If we raise £526.90, it'll be an hour long. And so on.

As of this post, it's 34 minutes long with 29 days to go.

Pitchfork reviews the Pope's LP, awards it a score of 3:16.

"Chill Pope, the leader of 1.2 billion people, urges you to accept this weird-ass album as your spiritual Genesis, your graceless way of saying Yes."

I?m a big fan of ?snow could be heavy at times.? Yes, it could be. If the high-end of the snowfall forecast pans out, it will have snowed 266 inches ? <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2015/12/08/wondering-where-all-the-snow-is-mt-rainier-forecast-to-get-over-15-feet-this-week/">or more than 21 feet</a> ? in six days. Snowfall rates could easily reach 6 inches per hour Tuesday and Wednesday.
