Procrastinate on This! [Friday Edition]
You know how every Friday I’ve been saying that I’ve absolutely no time to actually procrastinate on this! Well, not today. Today, I will not only be procrastinating, but then I’m going to allow myself to read for a whole uninterrupted hour, b/c it’s my birthday weekend — what, that’s the kind of stuff I know myself digs!

These football sausages are $26, but they'd totally be the hit of your Super Bowl party. Click on the pic for more info. (LikeCool)
1. My first thought, after only gettiing through the first few paragraphs into this article about “modern cavemen” was “Douchebags with too much time on their hands.” Then I stopped reading. Let me know how far you get. [NYT]
2. Oh man! No new Star Trek installment until June 29, 2012. I’ll (hopefully) have another kid before they get around to giving me my nanu! Woe is me! [Gawker]
3. Vote for computer engineer Barbie. Yes, seriously! [Topless Robot]
4. Sorry, I’m so late to referring you to Jezebel’s list of the Worst BFs of the Decade. So spot-on. [Jezebel]
5. Presented without comment, the trailer for the new Karate Kid:
A Very Happy Birthday to ya!
A Very Happy Birthday to ya!
wow, that karate kid looks incredible. nice to see another reboot of an 80s classic that washes out the bad taste the sequels left in our mouths. I'm talking to you Batman.
Justin, I watched and loved EVERY sequel. You need to stop talking that mess!

I liked 2 as a kid, but they don't hold up. it's cool that hilary swank was the "next karate kid" though.
anyway, I'm psyched that Jackie Chan is the new Pat Morita. Morita is a better actor, but Chan is a real martial artist at least.
That's why I don't rewatch movies from the 80s. Still, it's nice that a whole new generation of kids will beg their parents for karate lessons, only to find out that it's nowhere near as cool to learn as they made it seem in the movie. "Take off your jacket!"

I am on the fence about the new Karate Kid. On one hand it is good to see that we have progress beyond wax on wax off with jacket on jacket off and that he has a real martial artist teaching him. But the other hand just can't stand Jaden Smith. I recently watched The Day the Earth Stood Still and HATED his character. I was like if he had a black mama he would have been popped upside the head in the first half hour of the movie.
