• I have to admit that when I saw Date Night, I completely noticed the mistaken information about the Kindle that's discussed in this essay about whether product placement can be false advertising. It was a really funny joke, though, so I let it slide.
• They're trying to kill Shrek for good. No, seriously. Shrek is under attack.
• "I had nothing to do with it. Oh, wait, maybe I did. Maybe it was my wife! No, actually, it was me the whole time."
• Now, look. I enjoyed the Madonna-themed Glee episode. But that doesn't mean you can just build an episode around anybody you want.
More Glee, a Conan video to start the day right, and a very slow weekend at the movies, after the jump.
• Speaking of Glee, an obvious question: has it increased interest in music programs in school, especially choir? Some teachers say yes.
• Interesting peek at Yahoo's plans to expand its offerings in original content, rather than just acting as an aggregator.
