But, really, what's the point of this stunt? That you can smoke e-cigs inside out of the cold? Not after exiting New York City Mayor Bloomberg, on his last day in office, signed a bill that making smoking e-cigs inside just as bad as smoking real cigarettes inside, right?

Jen Selter, the New Yorker whose amazing ass brought her fame and now fortune on Instagram, has -- as we knew would happen -- signed yet another marketing partnership deal. This time, it's Cirrus Fitness, a fitness equipment manufacturer.
If you haven't heard, or have been living under a rock, a couple years ago Selter began working out. She noticed it was firming up her body, most notably, her butt.

Well here's a powerful message from the National Congress of American Indians that celebrates the plight, achievements, attitude and history of the American Indian. The two minute video shares a collage of Indians, their place in America and pays tribute to their tribal names.
All throughout the video, created by goodness Mfg., we are given words that describe these proud people. At the end we are asked why a national football team still uses a derogatory word, referred to as the "R Word" by native Americans, as its name and mascot.
If only this were running during the Super Bowl.

This year's Volkswagen Super Bowl commercial icreated by Argonaut is particularly relevant to me since I own a VW. And very old VW. A 1999 VW Passat. With 202,000 miles on it. So when I watched this "It's A Wonderful Life"-inspired commercial in which a dad tells his daughter that a German engineer gets his wings every time a VW hits 100,000 miles, I was like, hey, what about when a VW hits 200,000?
Thankfully the wise ass daughter replied, "Yea, dad. And I'm sure at 200,000 miles, rainbows shoot out of their butts." Well it pleases me to no end that I may have caused one German engineer to shit in technicolor.
