In an interview with New York Magazine, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino gave his opinion about the oil spill's effect on beach culture:

How do you think the oil spill is going to affect beach culture in America?
Wow, that?s a good question. Very good question. Can we repeat that for a second? Let me hear that one again.

You want to take a deep breath?
Yeah, I?ll take a breath. Let me hear that one again.

How is the oil spill going to affect beach culture in America?
You know what, obviously the oil spill is definitely going to affect beach culture in America for probably a number of years, I would surmise. It will probably affect a lot of kids, in not a good way.

Oh, did I say he "gave his opinion"? I meant he repeated the question and added the words "obviously", "definitely", "probably", and, as a bonus, "surmise".

At the end of the interview, The Situation high-fived his abs and said, "Finally! Our word of the day calendar came in handy!"

NYMag's A History of Obama Feigning Interest in Mundane Things was pretty great. But Dean Trippe went and one-upped the magazine with his compilation of presidential pics: Barack Obama Looking At Awesome Things.

B.O.L.A.T. is similar to the magazine's collection of Obama pictures, except way awesomer. (Yeah, I said awesomer. And I meant it.)

It looks like Obama has a pretty sweet job. I'm sure it can be stressful at times. But I'd run the whole country if it meant I could see Gizmo up close!
