Well this defines parents love. Watch how these parents build a playable Angry Birds cake for the birthday of their son Ben. The cake looks very realistic and amazing and it probably took a lot of time to build. If the cake tasted nice? Don’t know but is it important? Fun factor must be 10 out of 10. The video is watched almost 3 million times in only 5 days. Crazy!

Blake Griffin, as full as his Wikipage is, as full are the search results if you Google him. This week his name deserved huge attention.  Griffin answers the question, what to do when there’s a car in your way. Lets check the stats. Since February 20th, the video was viewed over 1.3 million times. From the 3.747 people who voted 31,3% disliked it…Hmm!  The video was most popular with man between 18 years and 44 years. But regardless to the impressive shot, 41 people thumbed up a comment which reflects it as overrated.  Still, awesome dunk!
