Clocking in at 1,178 minutes, or just under 20 hours, the Harry Potter films, while excellent representations of the wonderful books by J.K. Rowling, are simply too long to watch. But fret no more, muggles — we’ve got you covered. In the second episode of our new series, “Too Long; Didn’t Watch,” we tackle the story of the boy who lived. In roughly 0.2% of the time it takes Harry’s story to unfold on screen, we explore the films in their entirety. No themes left unexplored; no characters left unanalyzed. We promise.

Dog Is Terrified of Low-Fat Lamb Jerky

, , ,

Dogs usually love beef jerky, but this is not beef jerky. When presented with low-fat lamb jerky, this five-month-old Labrador Retriever not only expresses his displeasure, but we’re detecting a bit of fear. In the video’s YouTube description, his owner says, “This is strange and yet hilarious, because this is a dog who will eat anything and pretty much everything.” But he wants to make it clear that this YouTube video isn’t showing him abusing the young dog: “I will have you know that this in no way counts as abuse.

Obama Ad Asks Lena Dunham to Describe Her First Time

You might not recognize the latest ad in Obama’s presidential campaign as politically charged on first listen. The video features Girls star Lena Dunham comparing her first time voting to losing her virginity. Specifically targeting women, Dunham advises how to make your “first time” special. “You want a guy who cares whether you get health insurance, and specifically whether you get birth control,” says Dunham in the ad, which has stirred controversy for its sexy tone. Dunham has been known to raise eyebrows before, like when she ate cake naked at the 2012 Emmys. The Obama campaign ruffled feathers earlier this election season when it released a video that compared Big Bird to Bernie Madoff. What do you think of the ad? Is this offensive or do critics need to lighten up? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Read more: http://mashable.com/2012/10/26/obama-lenda-dunham-first-time/
