Here’s some links to help you get through your afternoon.
1. North Korea really doesn’t like James Franco and Seth Rogen’s upcoming movie The Interview [AV Club]

In case you haven’t heard, North Korea tends to take itself a little seriously. So, a comedy about James Franco and Seth Rogen being tasked with assassinating dictator Kim Jong-un went about as well as one would expect with the North Korean leadership, which issued a statement calling the film an “act of war that we will never tolerate.” No word on what type of retaliation North Korea is preparing if The Interview does make it to the big screen.
2. Harry Potter wants to be Batman’s Robin [io9]

Skip to about the two minute mark. Daniel Radcliffe says he’d make the perfect Robin and if there’s one thing that Batman v Superman needs, it’s the inclusion of yet another character.
3. Facebook is working on a version of Facebook you can use at work [Complex]
No idea what an “at work” version of Facebook would look like but the company is trying to make a version that won’t be met with a look of disapproval from your boss when they see it on your work screen. Maybe it’ll only show your supervisor’s vacation photos or something.
4. You will be able to own a Master Chief motorcycle helmet [Kotaku]
Sadly, this thing won’t be ready until 2015 which means that you’ll have to find some other lazy costume idea for Halloween this year.
5. Kevin Garnett will reportedly return for another year of mean-mugging [ESPN]
Kevin Garnett will likely return for one more season of semi-effective defense, accurate mid-range jumpers and infinite snarls.
6. Serena Williams takes a breather with fans in the stands at Wimbledon [For the Win!]
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
Now, that is fan service.
7. Five years ago today, Michael Jackson passed away. Here’s the Super Bowl halftime show of which all other halftime shows are measured [Youtube]

Who even comes close to topping this? Prince?
