The world amazes us once again with its creativity, from “David Beckham is old jokes,” to… “the MLS stinks and he’s an underwear model.”

Team Great Britain showed up in a big way at their home-turf Olympics. “Don’t Stop Me Now” shows up in a big way whenever you’re in need of listening to a great song. GB’s collective athletic effort was worth 65 Olympic medals; this music video of them mouthing along to the Queen classic is worth two minutes and 39 seconds of your time.

Looking for doppelgängers is an American pastime. You watch Chris Bosh, you think Velociraptor. You see Stephen Colbert, you think Bob Saget. The feeling of a successful “call” is the best feeling us non-athletes will ever experience. It’s true glory. This is our Olympics. Our Miracle On Ice.

Yeah, SpongeBob lost here, but just wait until he gets revenge after he finds out the pro-healthy-eating First Lady likes Krabby Patties. [h/t BBC]

We won’t deny being suckers for a well-executed viral marketing campaign. And adidas surprising people in a photo booth they set up in the Westfield Stratford City shopping center in England by springing none other than David Beckham on them? That deserves to go viral, thanks in no small part to the shock of the booth-goers. So we’ll do our part right now. [h/t Aaron Nagler via Paul Pabst]

Yes, you’re about to watch MLS highlights. We’re sorry? Well, not really, since David Beckham of the LA Galaxy knocked in two wonderful goals from distance against Portland. The first comes from 35 yards out, as no defender steps up to him. So he strikes the ball with power and it dips and curves away from the keeper. Although that “you already knew I could do this” shrug felt unnecessarily smug, we’ll give him a pass for now. The genius, after the jump.

David Beckham took exception to Rafael Baca kicking the ball down the field during extra time as the LA Galaxy were trying to tie the game. His reaction earned him a yellow card – and sparked several minutes of screaming, as well as pushing and shoving between the two teams.

The Los Angeles Galaxy are the defending MLS Cup champions, and like every American championship-winning sports team of particular note, they got their day at the White House – and certain team members got grief from the President of the United States.

David Beckham is an ambassador for “Sainsbury’s Active Kids” in his native Britain, a program run by the supermarket chain that provides local schools with sports equipment. He got into a little bit of hot water, however, when he appeared in this promotional poster. After the jump, the racy tattoo in question.
