Share on Tumblr I imagine after watching the New Lands music video, there are a whole slew of university kids sitting around bullshitting on how they could play the mashup sport portrayed for real.

Share on Tumblr It looks like Johnny Depp has managed to land himself into a bit of hot water with some folks as he’s lent his voice to the group Babybird for their Christmas-release song Jesus Stag Night.
