The Hoff is back as his hilariously fab cousin, Günther "Mr. Lean" Hasselhoff, in this series of videos for LEAN POCKETS®. Why he's German, nobody knows, but he's here with interventions. Hit ze jump to see all ze Hoffmagics. He purrs, and makes fun of Snuggies, but it's your choice, I'm just here to help.

The reveal, yesterday, that Google has been secretly testing autonomous cars brings an immediate vision of a world where cars are lighter (because they get in less accidents), consume less gas, can be summoned to your location without the need to find a local parking space; where freight trucks are empty of human life, cities are less congested, nobody drives drunk, and you can text behind the wheel to your heart's content. Unfortunately, even optimistic estimates expect that the technology will be ready for the regular market no earlier than 2019 or so. And that's without factoring in the legal ramifications of autonomous driving.

In an interview with Radio Big Boy, Samuel L. Jackson revealed that:

The Avengers' should start shooting some time next year, and then some time after that there’ll be a big 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' movie.

That's right. A S.H.I.E.L.D. movie.

For those unfamiliar (and I had to go nose around on Wikipedia in order to make sure I had my facts straight), this would be something like Samuel L. Jackson playing an immortal James Bond who fights things from other dimensions.

Try to tell me how that wouldn't be awesome.
