I'm guessing many of you will be spending some time hanging out with HIGHFIVE this weekend.

"Ignore Hitler" is a Tumblr featuring screengrabs from a guy who draws Hitler into his Draw Something drawings, then requests that his partner simply "ignore Hitler" when guessing the answer.

Yeah, ignoring Hitler is a bad idea.  Just ask Poland, all of Europe, the Jews, etc.

Don't stay calm.  Don't carry on.  That's fucking Hitler eating a meatball and we all know it and we need to stop him before he's ruins Draw Something for everyone and we have to go back to playing Words With Friends like it's fucking 2011.

Last week, a video of a lizard playing this Ant Crusher game went viral.

Turns out a bullfrog isn't going to put up with that shit — chasing after fake ants like an idiot.

"Why don't you download that app that will reattach a thumb, bitch!?"

"This is the worst ant vending machine ever!" – the lizard

"But let this be a lesson to all of you: There is no app to keep you from getting beat up at school.  There is no app to get a girl to invite you to your first dance.  However, rest assured, I am working on it!"

Boom.  Angry Birds.  See how easy that was.

You could all learn a lot from Andrew.

Leave your suggestion for next week's Fan Favorite video in the comments!

In the interesting experiment seen above, George Kokkinidis analyzed a number of different iPad apps by looking at the fingerprints left on the tablet's screen.

I edited out a couple of the images and his explanations are interesting as well, so make sure to check out more over at his site Design Language News.

Inspired by his work, I decided to analyze the way people interact with the Tosh.0 blog on their iPad in a similar manner.

The results were astounding.

Mashable reports that the game Angry Birds is going to be turned into an animated series.

Now those birds will really have something to be angry about: Having their good reputation ruined by a lazy Hollywood money grab.

How much backstory do we really want here?  I don't need to learn that the reason the pigs stole the eggs was because the birds cut off funding to the pigs food stamps program and the pigs needed the eggs to feed their starving children or something.  I don't want to turn my subway ride diversion into some big moral dilemma.

And can a feature film be far behind?

I wonder if Bob Hoskins is available?  He always seems down to turn a popular video game into a terrible movie.

Actually, new question: I wonder if Bob Hoskins is alive?

I can't tell you how many times I've stared at an iPhone and thought, How can this technology help me get high?

Well, the makers of the Roll Your Own iPhone app apparently have our best interests in mind, creating a one stop shop for joint rolling.

All you do is place your iPhone on a flat surface, lay a rolling paper across the screen, toss some pot from your grinder on top and — voilà! — the app rolls a perfect joint for you every time!

Well, actually, Roll Your Own provides detailed instructions on how to roll joints.  However, if you take any app and try my technique and then just sit on your couch long enough, eventually someone will roll a joint for you.

Which is a hundred times better than watching some crazy "How To Roll a Joint" video.  I'm too stoned for that.
