BAMF of the Day: NBA rookie of the year Kyrie Irving goes undercover at a pickup basketball game, dressed as the aging “Uncle Drew.” Unbeknownst to his opponents, Uncle Drew’s got skills, and he wants you kids to get off his
lawncourt.This is basically the best disguise for a pro basketball player since Larry Johnson dressed up as Grandmama to help out Steve Urkel and sell some Converse shoes.
Early Bird Special: This little gem — which features the cast and crew of the hit Broadway musical Anything Goes dancing and lip dubbing to “What Makes You Beautiful” — should get your Friday off to a nice start.

Another Movie Trailer of the Day: And the breast cancer awareness backlash continues, with film festival darling Pink Ribbons, Inc. making its stateside debut June 1. The Canadian documentary shows how the movement has become the poster child of corporate cause-related marketing campaigns, and frankly, the trailer alone is enough to change the way you think about the Susan G. Komen foundation: “If people actually knew what was happening, they would be really pissed off.”

Breaking News of the Day: Obama Backs Gay Marriage: [UPDATED] President Obama has publicly announced his support for gay marriage in an interview today with Robin Roberts. (Watch the video here.)
I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or Marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.
Obama, who is the first U.S. president to openly back gay marriage, had come under fire this week for remaining mum on the subject after Joe Biden and Arne Duncan publicly declared their support. The president’s announcement comes a day after North Carolina voted in favor of a constitutional amendment that bans marriage equality.
Obama’s interview will appear on ABC’s Good Morning America on Thursday. Excerpts will air tonight on ABC’s World News with Diane Sawyer.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rrnn1KlB1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)

boybands are weird because they always sing about how this one girl is really hot and special and it just makes me confused and wonder if they’re going to try and share her or just completely gang bang her or what

PSA of the Day: Although some U.S. states are starting to crack down on texting while driving, Belgium is making SMSing while operating a motor vehicle part of the test for a drivers’ license.
Well, no, it’s not. But thanks to this PSA from Belgian org RYD (Responsible Young Drivers), you can see what it would be like if it did.
Yes, it’s as scary as you’d expect.
