TheFW Staff — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 18:49:29 +0000

In one corner, we have President Barack Obama, who gave probably the funniest presidential speech out of all the past White House Correspondents' Dinners.

In the other, we have 'The Notebook,' another love story where a young working-class man, Ryan Gosling, falls in love with a woman of rich descent, Rachel McAdams.

In the other, we have 'The Lord of the Rings,' J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece -- other than 'The Hobbit,' of course -- filled with epic battles, quests, magic and that creepy Gollum guy. Even years after the last book in the trilogy was published in 1986, the world of Middle Earth is still seeing new films being added to its legacy.

In the other, we have the PC, which refers to any personalized computers that aren't Macs.

TheFW Staff — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:45:10 +0000

In the other, we have Dr. Pepper, the "one of a kind," oldest major soft drink in America that's currently celebrating all that makes its drinkers special and unique. In addition, its sibling soda Dr. Pepper TEN is apparently so manly that "it's not for women."
