We’ll admit it: we’re already counting down the hours until we head to the beach for the Fourth of July holiday weekend. In case you need some help getting in the mood (or like us, you’ve forgotten everything you ever learned in AP US History), our friends at Babelgum have rounded up a few kids to reenact the events of American Revolution for you. The key takeaway: Complaining about taxation without representation will make the cute but homicidal British general shoot you with her toy gun. Enjoy!

We can’t wait for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland to finally open next weekend. Our friends at Bablegum thought of another film that could benefit from Burton’s re-imagining: Weekend at Bernie’s.

You can run into anyone in New York. With this premise in mind, Tim Curcio and Nick Ross (Upright Citizens Brigade, CollegeHumor) created and star in “Old Friends,” a comedic web series about high school acquaintances who are reunited in their late 20s after a run-in at a New York park. But, it’s not a friendly reunion — Tim’s wife lost her virginity to Nick back in high school and Nick won’t let Tim, or anyone else, forget it. As they become reacquainted, the series takes a humorous and honest look at relationships, sex, and friendly competition. Watch the pilot after the jump and visit our friends at Babelgum to check out seasons one and two.

Who drinks the most beer worldwide? You might be surprised to learn that the U.S. doesn’t place in the top three. (In fact, we don’t even break the top 20.) GOOD has put together this video for our friends at Babelgum which unveils the most current international rankings of drinkers by country per capita; it’s based on a 2004 study by the World Health Organization.
Suddenly, we’re feeling inspired to relocate to Moldova, a country where our talent for guzzling martinis will be more appreciated by our fellow citizens.
