Now I know that none of our readers would do anything like this, but apparently there are people out there who just love to download and watch television via BitTorrent. In fact, 50% of BitTorrent activity is apparently the downloading of television shows, with literally millions of downloads for each episode of those top shows. The folks over at TorrentFreak compiled a list of the Top 10 BitTorrented television shows for the week of May 25 - June 1.

I'm not surprised at all to see shows like The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Lost and Battlestar Galactica among the top of these rankings. Just think of the kind of audience these types of shows are likely to draw. It's unfortunate that this list couldn't have been compiled a few weeks ago when most of the broadcast networks were still streaming new episodes. So You Think You Can Dance ranked pretty well, but I wonder if American Idol would have been tops here as well. Further into the list were some even more interesting choices.

Well, CBS hasn't posted the clip, but at least one YouTube user has posted Homer Simpson's recent appearance on Late Show with David Letterman. You can watch the clip below.

In the segment, Homer reads his top ten reasons why he should be president. It's pretty funny, though I think it might have worked better if the segment was just Homer rather than skipping back and forth between Homer and Letterman. I think it kind of threw the pacing off a bit. Also, is it just me or did Letterman not seem especially enthused about the whole thing? The combination of "just okay" jokes and Letterman phoning it in kind of brought the whole thing down if you ask me, which you didn't.

Now I know why I stopped writing for our defunct sister blog, AdJab: I just didn't have the capacity to come up with pages like this one, from AdFreak. On this page, Tim Nudd comes up with his top ten ads that contain people dressed as food.

Thaat's right, kids. Someone took the time to a) think of coming up with a list of ads dressed as food, and b) take the time to find videos of the ads on YouTube (and in one, case, iFilm). Anyway, the usual suspects are on the list: the Whopper and Whopper Jr., Snapple Fruit, and that gross-looking Domino's Fudgem. My favorite two videos, though, are the two-minute long music video with the venerable Fruit of the Loom guys (it looks no different than a Coldplay video), and the cutsey "Hot Dog meets Pepsi" ad from a few years back. I like that one because the girl in the hot dog suit is pretty damned adorable. Those videos are after the jump.

If you've got eight spare minutes and don't mind seeing cartoon nudity and hearing animated flatulence at work, then take a look at this video: someone has compiled what he or she thinks is Family Guy's ten funniest moments and clipped them together. It's kind of odd how some of the selections are maybe 15 seconds long, while others -- especially a clip featuring Quagmire -- seem to go on forever. But I think that's the nature of Family Guy: just when you think a gag should end, Seth MacFarlane purposely extends it to the point where it becomes funny again.

Anyway, I don't agree with all of this person's choices, but it's not a bad way to spend eight minutes. The video is after the jump.

Remember the days when people used to talk about David Letterman's Top Ten List? You'd be at work or school the next day, and someone would inevitably bring up one of the better lines from the previous night's Top Ten, or talk about the whole list if they did a weird one. Nowadays, of course, no one talks about the Top Ten anymore; heck, it's so old hat that even Letterman doesn't care about it anymore, often delivering it in a perfunctory "I'm just giving the audience what they want" manner.

But the Top Ten from last night was one of the rare instances where the writers really did a great job, coming up with a funny, edgy list. The topic? "Chapter Titles in Jim McGreevey's Book." The book in question is The Confession, where the former New Jersey governor writes about how he kept his homosexuality secret until a scandal forced him to come out of the closet. They invited McGreevey to come on to read it, but for some reason he didn't bother. Looking at the list, I can see why he might have had a problem. So they had staff writer Gerard Mulligan read it. The list is after the jump, directly from the Late Show's website:
