[Sometimes pictures are just... nice. Here's Julianne Moore at CS 154, celebrating some sort of Save the Children Valentine's Day contest. I like that Randi Weingarten (apparently!) is talking to a student instead of gawping at the movie star. Getty]

This is the definition of a perfect internet video. It's short, it has one funny, organic joke, and it involves a squeegeeing Chinese man.

In your shiny Thursday media column: internecine squabbling at the Washington Post (is fun), new hires at the WSJ, The University of Florida is a Mac, and the government has always run the media.

This week's Taboo was all about misfits! But not your run-of-the-mill Daria kind. Featured here were wannabe amputees, exiled Bangladeshi river dwellers, and—most abhorrent of all—freegans!

In today's New York Times, we met John Bowe, a 42-year-old writer and bachelor who fell in love for the first time at age 39—in Saipan. It didn't work out. Not surprising, since he's the quintessential Literary Manboy.

And this isn't the first time Brooker has pointed out the secrets of television. He also showed the tips and tricks of video editing in reality television. And maybe if you wanted to write a nice diatribe about those two videos, you should follow the guidelines for an incendiary blog post. What's the point of even being a Journalism major anymore? Hahaha. That was a stupid question with an obvious answer. I'm sorry.

It is with heavy hand and heavy heart that we inform you today of the death of Miramax. The once-proud indie studio was 31 years old.

We thought we knew what Aaron Patzer did last summer, but we didn't know the half of it. Sure, Patzer sold his Mint.com for $170 million. But he also had a sexy tryst with a London artist. And her sketchpad.
