Lars von TrierPre-Saturday Rapture tweets continue to be the hot thing in online discussions this week. Ben Templesmith has been weighing the pros and cons of what could happen if the world ends over the weekend.

In less comfortable topics, Lars Van Trier continues to be getting all of the wrong kind of attention following some Nazi-related comments he made at a Wednesday press conference. Implications for him and reactions to calls for Ronald McDonald to step down as a mascot for his fast food chain are the big items for the day.
