This would have been useful to read prior to seeing the film. SPOILERS! (via pippipklooray.tumblr.com)
It's done by Walk Off The Earth, the band behind that awesome “Somebody I Used To Know” cover and yes, they do the dubstep parts.
For the truly lazy worker in your life.

Life imitating art.
A very scientific assessment.
It's not that great of an idea. Nutella isn't that gooey or spreadable, nothing like they make it seem in adverts and doesn't have the consistency of say, ketchup, which greatly benefited from the switch to a squeeze bottle. There is no way in hell it would come out of a bottle that easily. What those people are thinking of is chocolate sauce. It doesn't have the same consistency at all.
If they made Nutella more runny to compensate they may as well just release a Nutella flavoured chocolate sauce.
Also, on cold days, Nutella gets pretty solid and hard to spread. This bottle might make it easier to microwave, but you would have to do it for longer, and more often in general to make it worth it. I find microwaving anything repeatedly eventually messes with the flavour and texture.
And that bottle design is just TERRIBLE for being able to use all of the Nutella, the ridges, really?? Again, it isn't THAT gooey, it wouldn't all naturally flow to the bottom/top of the squeeze bottle. If it did, it would do that in the jars and the problems people are describing wouldn't exist. Nutella in a squeeze bottle is just sort of silly.
It was a great year for goofy in the NBA.
Nailed it.
Connecticut paper runs ad for an arms show next to story about Sandy Hook students going back to school. SMH.
I'm pretty sure the red bull calendar focuses on all the extreme sport athletes they sponsor which, for an extreme sport enthusiast, would probably be a cool calendar. I mean they sponsored Felix Baumgartner! An image of the guy who jumped from 24 miles above the earth seems like a neat thing to look at for a month. This article is typical of buzzfeed in that the author seems to draw an odd, unfounded, and in all honesty dumb and unfunny conclusions about random topics that only seem to serve the purpose of filling up space on a page so that an advertiser will pay for the space next to it. Buzzfeed is currently the only site I visit regularly that I don't disable adblock for because It is increasingly apparent that its content is solely dictated by “page-view journalism.” There are stronger examples of this than this specific article (the unfounded, grossly inaccurate attack on The Oatmeal comes to mind) but it's a trend that's been bothering me and it seems this is the moment when I'm going to put together a long response. The lack of thought put into this article is…indicative of a real downturn in the quality of buzzfeed lately. I could have just clicked and moved on and you could argue that I've wasted my time writing such a long comment but god, I used to really enjoy this site! It had a lot of variety that covered topics I probably wouldn't have come across in my regular internet browsing and was often written in an entertaining way. But it seems like now it's rare that I find myself enjoying the sum of the day's articles, and common that I end up disappointed and baffled that a site chooses to publish such asinine content. I think I just keep reading out of a misguided hope that the lack of quality is just some growing pains or temporary condition and that BF will tighten the ship and return to form. Maybe that same misguided hope is really the reason I wrote this whole thing out, my misguided hope that an editor of the site reads this or has it brought to their attention by a moderator and evaluates the standards of the things they publish and the decisions made about content and quality rather than quantity. Perhaps they could develop a way for users to filter content tailored more towards them and more importantly blocking certain topics/tags. Or alternatively make the tags visible on the main page so that I can avoid clicking through and feeling like I'm contributing to the decline in content by giving them a page-view on an article that wrongly endorses it's popularity when an editor looks at the statistics on what topics they should continue covering. And if I'm being brutally honest the option to personally tag low quality authors who consistently put out poorly composed articles so I can avoid them after I've identified them. Something needs to change, though I fear it won't and…one day Buzzfeed will just be another site I used to visit daily.
In high school I sometimes lept down two stairs at once to get to the cafeteria faster. So me and this guy have a lot in common.
Maybe you should just log off, close the laptop, and get some rest…
