It seems that there is an overabundance of middle finger raising lately. Adele sent one out at the Brit Awards this week. Quite right! M.I.A. treated us to a birdie during Madonna's half time show.

Why the sudden outrage? I don't know, but I do like the act of civil disobediance. That said, lets have some more. Here's a famous collection:

The love bird?

Perhaps the pinnacle movie from the 1980's was Patrick Swayze in 1989's Road House. I have to thank the creator of this lovely video that's placed every single face punch into one nice compilation.

Bonus: throat rip is included. Have a nice day.

Here's a nicely done kids reenactment of the Black Knight scene from Monty Python And The Holy Grail. Bonus: they get the gore quite right!

You make the call. Are these animals stoned or just plain suspicious looking?

Kevin Costner is expected to speak. Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder will perform songs. Invitations have also gone out to Oprah Winfrey an Houston's ex-husband Bobby Brown. I feel like if it do watch it will be from a news reporter angle more than anything else. I supposed that's the whole point of streaming the funeral on the internet though.

It's a somber kind of feeling to think about. Will you watch and if so, is it because you're a dedicated fan, or because it's a big celebrity event?

I found this comment posted on a YouTube page of one of Whitney's videos. Ouch!

In any case, here's some of her hits:

It's dumb to say that I'm tired of internet memes. The newest one circulating is the "What People Think I Do" meme and I'm bored with them already.

A meme by nature is a trending thing, so instead of hating on them, I'm joining the party. Hope you enjoy.

Is this dog sad that Adele says she's retiring from the music biz for five years? Is this dog sad that Adele says she's no longer going to write break up songs? Is this dog sad that Adele only got six Grammys this year?

Is this dog staring into the mirror going to be hilariously burned into my mind forever? The answer is yes.

I watched this a half dozen times already. Yes, I have that much time on my hands. I think it's a faker. What about you?

Did you see that somewhat scary looking picture of Macaulay Culkin that surfaced on the internet? I hope the guy is eating something. His people say Culkin is in perfect health, but man, that picture seems to tell another story.

In any case, somebody with plenty of time on their hands has photoshopped in what Macaulay's face today would look like in the 1990 movie Home Alone. I think I'm screaming in fear now.

This is exactly what I propose you do for Valentine's Day.

What significant other wouldn't be pleased as a pig in mud that they were proposed to with pizza?

Pizza Hut is currently offering a "Tie The Knot With The Dinner Box" package, where customers can purchase a ruby ring and an evening of elegance AND a $10 Dinner Box (also elegant) for the slightly-steep-for-Huts-that-serve-pizza cost of $10,010.

For $10,010, Customers Get: A Red Ruby Ring, Limo Service, Flowers, Fireworks Show, Videographer, Photographer, and a $10 Dinner Box. Other than the ring being made of ruby instead of being made of another dinner box, I see absolutely nothing wrong with this offer, and may in fact take them up on it and finally plan that proposal to myself (I like having leftovers).

Thanks to Best Week Ever.tv for the story.

*In Matthew Broderick's hotel: The red phone is the same phone Ferris had in his room. The Rottweiler at the hotel entrance looks a lot like the Bueller dog.

*In the Honda: That rabbit foot keychain sticking out of the ignition is a reference to the scene in which Ferris and Cameron rub good luck charms in the back of a taxi while hiding from Ferris' dad. The name on the dashboard screen when Broderick makes a mobile call is Grace, Rooney's secretary's name. Grace's phone number — 312-555-2800 — contains both the area code for Chicago (where the movie takes place) as well as the street address for the Bueller house (the 555 is just filler). The car's license plate — SOCHOIC — refers to "so choice," Ferris-speak for cool.

*While driving, Broderick passes: A flower delivery man, just like the one Louie Anderson played in the film; a store window with a mannequin wearing Ferris' vest and another wearing Cameron's caduceus shirt; a sign for Chez Quiz; and a guy wearing a trench coat and playing the Clarinet (the outfit Ferris wore when he picked up Sloan at school);

*On the roller coaster: The guy sitting behind Broderick is wearing a Red Wings jersey exactly like the one Cameron wore.

*In the natural history museum: There's a guy in the background wearing Ferris' vest and beret and a woman wearing the Ronda t-shirt worn by one of the members of the dance troop in the film's parade scene. The walrus scene is an (extremely) subtle reference to Ferris' line about the Beatles. "I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people."

*At the races: There's a man holding a tiki glass exactly like the one Ferris drinks out of in his backyard. There's also a guy wearing flip-up shades just like Rooney's.

*At the Chinese parade: There's a girl on the sidewalk wearing Sloane's white fringe jacket, a trio of construction workers dancing on the sidelines, and a man wearing the same "HONORED GUEST" sash that was in the movie.

*At Chez Neuf: The valet stand has the same logo as the parking garage in the movie. The name of the restaurant refers to the nine times Ferris missed school in the movie. It could also refer to the number of hours required to figure out all these easter eggs on your own.

easter-eggs

Ferris Bueller fans have probably already spotted most of the easter eggs in Honda's Super Bowl ad, which finally aired during Sunday's game after generating tons of buzz online for a week. Some are a tad on the obscure side — honestly, who remembers Ferris' street address? — but here's the complete official list, courtesy RPA, the ad agency that made the spot. As Ferris himself would say, so choice. (And click the jump below to see the commercial again!)

*In the talent agent's office: On a shelf there's an electric orb just like the one in Cameron's room in the film, as well as a chair with a horse silhouette on the back, just like the one in Ferris' room. On his desk are the same trophies that Principle Rooney had in his office as well as the same neatly lined up antacids and pens, while the three white-out bottles are a reference to the ones on Rooney's secretary's desk. Like a lot of these easter eggs, it's easy to miss, but look carefully and you'll also find a toy Ferrari in a glass case on the agent's desk, a nod to the life-sized one they borrow from Cameron's dad in the movie. That framed child's drawing on the agent's cabinet was the same picture on the fridge in Ferris' house, and the baseball the agent is fondling is a nod to the foul ball Ferris catches at the Cub's game. The agent's name, by the way, Walter Linder, was in the reservation book at Chez Quis during the famous Abe Foreman scene. As for the name of the company where the agent works, Rozman, Peterson & Frye, that one even John Hughes might have missed: Ferris' mom's coworker was named Barbara Rozman, Sloan's last name was Peterson, and Cameron's last name was Frye.

Thanks to EW.com for the list

Entertainment Weekly says Springfield will return to the set of General Hospital in February. The storyline is that Dr. Noah Drake is back in Port Charles to see his son Dr. Patrick Drake. It'll be his first appearance on the show since 2008.

What has Mr Feathered Hair been doing lately? Cruise ships and partying in Mexico.

His annual fan cruises were a big hit, but starting this year, he's moving the fun to Club Med in Mexico. Cancun to be exact. The four-day adventure -- featuring concerts, meet-and-greets, sing-alongs, as well as free meals and booze -- is Nov. 8-12. The price? It starts at $1,399 per person.

At least he wasn't on the cruise ship that ran aground in Italy. I think Jesee's girl was though.

Extra Bonus: The General Hospital strawberry scene...
