Well, the rest of the internet is (if you couldn't tell by the TWL headlines) as new surprises and goodies seemingly pop-up everyday. I really can't wait to see all the great content next week leading up to Wednesday.

Call me crazy for loving anything that's promoted by Biz Markie. (You're Crazy!) The new all marshmallow Lucky Charms campaign captured the Video of the Week honors with its insane music video to the tune of "Just A Friend." My questions is, why just 10 boxes? Why you hoarding the Lucky Charms marshmallows, General Mills?
