Happy Birthday, Freddie Mercury, Rovio Has Turned You Into An Angry Bird! This Feels Weird. [VIDEO]

by Jill Pantozzi | 9:33 am, September 5th, 2012

It wasn’t too long ago we saw a hologram version of the late Queen singer Freddie Mercury perform at the London Olympics. That in and of itself rubbed me the wrong way but now Rovio, creators of Angry Birds, have turned the singer into one of their animated fowls. Yeah. This is strange. Take a look and see what you think. There is at least one good thing about it – it’s for a good cause. According to THR, “The video raises awareness for the special Freddie For A Day fundraising evening hosted by Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor at which, for the second year, friends and stars will gather at the Savoy in Freddie’s honor, to remember him and raise funds for the Mercury Phoenix Trust – Fighting Aids Worldwide.”

And Now For Something Completely Different

William Shatner Does “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Rains Down Zodiac Debris Upon Us All [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 3:28 pm, October 19th, 2011

Today is the day you will finally think to yourself: “I am so sad Freddie Mercury missed out on the Internet.” Because today is the day you first saw William Shatner, rendered as a CGI sky being, talk-singing the Queen classic “Bohemian Rhapsody” while raining a cosmic meteor shower upon the entire world. What would Freddie have thought of this? Freddie dressed like this on stage. He would have loved this.

This song is part of Shatner’s Seeking Major Tom album, which does not come with a free bag of marijuana, as far as we know.

We Will Watch John Cleese Do Anything If It Involves Silly Dancing [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 1:14 pm, June 13th, 2011

John Cleese has been doing a series of “Road Rage” ads for the GPS system TomTom, and when you see this man reprising selections from “Ministry of Silly Walks” in dance form to Queen‘s “I Want to Break Free,” there is just no way we can not share it. There are just too many things going absolutely right. And this is only one of six ads where we get to watch how John Cleese handles a traffic jam.
