In addition to it being Al Pacino’s birthday, it turns out that April 25 is World Malaria Day. And Malaria No More has released a video to spread the word about the organization, the cause, and the way that you can help curb malaria deaths in Africa. Appearing in the video...
Well, it's about time a major company enlisted an ultra-popular comedian for a commercial, wherein said comedian lays in bed with a unicorn -- presumably after a night of inter-species love making -- all to sell more chewing gum. Right? Right. The waiting is over, friends. In...
Late last week, HBO dropped a teaser for their new behind-the-curtain comedy special, Talking Funny (see video below) which features such astronomically big names as Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Louis C.K. and Ricky Gervais simply sitting in a room chatting about their...
