The latest World of Warcraft advertisement has to be one of the funniest things that ever hit the web. While William Shatner's appearance (Kirk from Star Trek) is (surprisingly) enough to get people wondering "hey, if Shatner's got game, why wouldn't I have game?", Mr. T's spot is simply sublime. ... |

This is a miracle come true: all my life I've waited for this magical moment, when Pamela Anderson would put on this red bikini again and start running on the beach, as if to save someone's life or something.
