GoPro Baby Does Dubstep in Awesome Super Bowl 2013 Commercial
GoPro saved money to pay for their Super Bowl airtime by using one of their own cameras to film their commercial. Well, that's the theory we have anyway. We don't know that for certain.

Good work, GoPro -- your commercial was a success.

We're going to pretend all of these people are hilarious and not morons. When the 2013 Super Bowl was delayed by a power outage, most people took it as a chance to actually talk to the people at their football party.

NYC Subway Commuters Subjected to Hilarious Panhandler Prank
Generally speaking, we would say please PLEASE leave commuters alone. They're already suffering the indignity of being elbowed by teenagers in the throes of sweaty, bubblegum and Axe-scented passion. After a day of soul-crushing work most people just want to be left alone. But this prank on the 4 train might actually have made some people's days a little better.
