I have to say, I seriously enjoyed Tetris way more in 1987, but what can you do?

You must know the feeling: you crack open a frosty beer after much anticipation only to be utterly disappointed when you realize you’re supping it from a regular old bottle or pint glass and not what was once a happy squirrel.

No? Well, if the answer was yes, your prayers have been answered. Scottish beermakers BrewDog have finally paired up the natural combination of cold beer and dead, taxidermied animal to create their new product, a beer called “The End of History.” The product is 110 proof (beating their previous efforts “Tokyo” and “Tactical Nuclear Penguin” for booziness) and costs £500 a bottle.

BrewDog introduces the new beer on their blog:

In true BrewDog fashion we’ve torn up convention, blurred distinctions and pushed brewing and beer packaging to its absolute limits. This beer is an audacious blend of eccentricity, artistry and rebellion; changing the general perception of beer one stuffed animal at a time.

The impact of The End of History is a perfect conceptual marriage between art, taxidermy and craft brewing. The bottles are at once beautiful and disturbing – they disrupt conventions and break taboos, just like the beer they hold within them.

Only 11 of the dead squirrel-or-stoat beers were produced, and both animal rights and alcohol abuse awareness groups are already not amused. According to BrewDog, however, the squirrels used for the limited run were “roadkill.”

White Stripes, Raconteurs and Dead Weather singer/guitarist Jack White has confirmed that he recorded a collaboration with rap icon Jay-Z.

White told British GQ that the two got together and recorded a track a few weeks ago, and though no date has been announced for the track’s release, White confirmed the track exists and is “unbelievable-sounding.”

“I just did a record with Jay-Z,” said White. “We did a song together a few weeks ago. It was incredible. I played him something that I’ve been kicking around for a while and he immediately came out with words for it. It’s unbelievable-sounding.”

The collaboration isn’t particularly surprising given that the rapper and rocker have complimented each other over the past few months in the news. Of White, Jay-Z says:

“Jack White, he can do it all,” he said to Clash Magazine. “He’s a renaissance man. I like anyone who I’m working with to bring their flavour and their energy to the track, or else why get them? If I bring a person in, they are free to do whatever.”

White similarly lauded Hova a few months ago in an interview:

He said: “I feel like I’m a lot more to do with Jay-Z than I do with the Black Keys. And I don’t know what that is, it’s just a feeling.

“I love hip-hop if it’s done with a sense of the blues, even if the person who is creating it isn’t thinking that at all. I think Jay-Z is just incredible. ‘The Black Album’ is one of the best albums of the decade.”

As far as partnerships go, this should be amazing.

Summer Glau may be returning to television with news that she’s landed a major role playing a blogger in a new pilot for NBC.

Glau will play the blogger “Orwell” in The Cape, a new series that centers “on a framed-for-murder ex-cop (David Lyons) who becomes a costumed crimefighter to clear his name” according to Aint It Cool News, “As with the movie “Kick-Ass,” nobody has any superpowers.”

Yeah, the story doesn’t sound great, a premise the script leaks at Bleeding Cool would seem to back.

Glau’s role will focus on her “exposing crimes even the police can’t solve” as an anonymous blogger, who we presume may also be a romantic interest for the shows main character.

The Daily Show host Jon Stewart finished up a two-part series of interviews on Bill O’Reilly’s The O’Reilly Factor last night, and it made for some great, laugh-trackless watching as the two sparred over Iran, climate change, Khaled Sheik Mohammed does New York, and Sarah Palin.

O’Reilly starts off the interview under the premise that he’s vetting Stewart as a presidential running mate, opening a dialogue about climate change before the conversation turns to Iran. Stewart, thanking Fox News for “racheting up the fear” on the issue of Iran, calmly and consisely downplays fears of Iranian nuclear proliferation, and points out that overthrowing governments to stop tiny terrorist cells from attacking is a misguided strategy. As much as I love O’Reilly too, and I do- it’s really striking how Stewart knocks down all the Fox News talking points like so many straw men. O’Reilly’s gracious about the whole thing, trading barbs with Stewart in the way most New Yorkers knock each other in casual conversation, but Stewart really gets bitchy at points. He’s mostly right, though, so he gets away with it.

O’Reilly moves on to Khaled Sheik Mohammed and whether the 9/11 trials should be located in downtown Manhattan. O’Reilly cites the expense, to which Stewart replies that he’s glad O’Reilly’s “suddenly concerned about cost.” Stewart veers over towards the massive expense of the Iraq war (and ostensibly, the relatively minor worth of the invasion), and O’Reilly gamely apologizes for his earlier warmongering and the whole WMD thing. Back on KSM, Stewart dismisses concerns that the trial exposes NYC to a larger terrorist threat. The interview finishes up on the issue of Sarah Palin, and whether TDS has been unfair to Palin since her rise to notoriety. Instead of making an obvious joke, Stewart calls her out on her insistence that there are two Americas- her ‘real’ one and the rest of us, adroitly pointing out in a few words what it is that makes Palin a target for her many detractors. The video below is part two of the Stewart-O’Reilly showdown in its entirety.

On his own show last night, Stewart ragged on blogs a bit for their hyperbolic headlines in a segment called, “The Blogs Must Be Crazy.”

News Corp founder and CEO Rupert Murdoch has told an interview with Sky News Australia that News Corp will likely remove News Corp content from Google.

The revelation came early in the interview, after Murdoch claimed that Google and others are stealing News Corp content in response to a question about who he was talking about when he talked about plagiarists. “The people who simply pick up everything to run with, and steal our stories…they just take them..without payment. That’s Google, Microsoft, Ask.com..a whole lot of people.”

Murodch claimed that readers who visit News Corp sites via search offer little value to advertisers, and that News Corp would rather have fewer people coming to their websites, but paying. Asked why News hasn’t made its sites invisible to Google, Murdoch replied: “I think we will….but that’s when we start charging.”

Murdoch also claims that News Corp believes that the doctrine of Fair Use can be challenged in court and “barred altogether.”

As Mumbrella notes, many sites (including this one) have called on News Corp and others to use Robots.txt to take their content out of Google, a simple change that would put to bed the Google stealing our content argument once and for all.

That picture, above, is actually a KFC marketing stunt. (That worked or failed, depending on your definition of “fail.”)

Actor Robert Thompson, dressed as the iconic Colonel Sanders, got as far as posing for a picture with President of the UN General Assembly Ali Treki, before his presence was detected and he was ejected from the area. (The actual Colonel Sanders, who invented the secret Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe, has been dead for nearly 30 years.)

The stunt is part of the ceaseless campaign to promote KFC’s grilled chicken, and involves KFC “lobbying” the UN to admit their new “Grilled Nation” to be accepted as a UN member state. (Okay, that’s kind of funny and clever.)

The fast food giant has written to (UN secretar-general Ban) Ki-moon personally asking for grilled chicken lovers to be be represented at the assembly, in a letter dismissed by Mrs Montas as “absolutely void.”

For reasons unknown at this time, a UN security guard escorted the actor into the secure area:

“It should not have happened – that I will stress, and very strongly,” Michele Montas told Canwest News Service, the Canadian news agency.

“There was some lapse in security and the individual in question was, on the initiative of one security guard, taken into the UN.”

Meet Pomplamoose, a two person band that is getting a ton of attention on YouTube and might be on their way to bigger things.

Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn started making music together in the summer of 2008, and decided to form the band. Pomplamoose thus represents the collaborative efforts of the two afore-mentioned musicians. It also means grapefruit in French.

Besides having appealing vocal delivery and mixes (sort of Lily Allen Brit-pop vocals but with more depth) Pomplamoose also does one other thing that makes them stand out: their video clips show them producing the music, even where that means mashing themselves on different instruments together, or what others have called “production as art.”

Their latest cover of Beyonce’s Single Ladies has already passed one million views on Twitter, but they have a range of original music as well. The Pomplamoose Youtube page here, and the Beyonce cover as follows:
