“Tech Support Gandalf” sprung from the bowels of Reddit when a pic of a Gandalf-garbed Sir Ian McKellen on his MacBook turned up in r/pics. Neatorama has a blank version. Now go meme this mother up.
- The Beastie Boys and GoldieBlox have settled their lawsuit stemming from the latter’s unauthorized use of the song “Girls” in one of their advertisements.
