It was Wednesday morning when The Daily What picked up a video from Have You Seen This that featured Turbo the corgi puppy falling asleep in a bucket, and within minutes I was bombarded with emails and tweets about it (the video’s embedded on the next slide). I love that about Warming Glow readers: nothing corgi-related can exist on the Internet without people sending it to me. If I had a handful of TV industry sources that were half as eager to share Hollywood scoops, this blog would be more important than Deadline. Ah well, I’ll settle for cuter.

Quick programming note: I had dinner and drinks with a Marine friend in Manhattan last night, then I had an epic two-hour public transportation clusterf*ck getting home in a snowstorm, so I’ve got a combination hangover/lack of sleep thing going on. In an hour, after I’ve consumed a pot of coffee and a side of bacon and a liter of coconut water, I’ll be fine. But right now I’m a gun away from a deadly rampage, so please: keep a wide berth.

Anyhoo, reader Jason sent me this video yesterday, and it made me belly-laugh because I didn’t know what to expect. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did back when I was capable of enjoying things.

Morning news shows always need the right amount of light-hearted fluff, because people are angriest when they first wake up or when their husband first leaves them with the kids all damn day. In Australia, someone at the Nine Network thought “Today” hosts Karl Stefanovic and Lisa Wilkinson should capitalize on the popularity of curling at the Olympics by playing some Wii curling (see video below). Except the thing is, well, if you replace the broom with a Wii controller, twelve-year-olds like me can’t help but notice that it looks like they’re furiously masturbating (which is generally the best way to masturbate, IMHO).

Anyway, this reminds me: I really want to date a curler. A female curler, I mean. Oh, who am I kidding? I’ll take what I can get.

Christmas comes early this year with this video remix of the now-famous Snooki punch inspired by Street Fighter 2. The video was inspired by Street Fighter 2, that is. The punch was inspired by twelve shots of Jagermeister.

Oh, and because it’s Christmas… once more, with feeling:

Because people can’t get enough of the 10 minutes of actual events that ABC crams into every hour of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette,” Interactive Entertainment will develop video games based on the reality dating shows.

Expect games based on both dating games to ship “across multiple platforms” following the conclusion of The Bachelor‘s 2010 season. Since Ludia is pegged as the developer—the creator of fine licensed products based on The Price Is Right, Hell’s Kitchen, American Idol and more—don’t be surprised if the platforms handed a rose are the Wii, Nintendo DS, PC and iPhone. Ludia loves long walks on the beach and casual-leaning hardware. [Kotaku]

This sounds awesome.  I’ve been interested in Internet dating, but apparently that has actual interaction with other human beings.  This sounds exactly what I’ve been looking for.  All the courting of women that I have for so long wanted to do, but without the agony of speaking to other people.
