Samsung's new commercial for the Galaxy Indulge smartphone isn't just a commercial. It's a bona fide work of art, built around Snoop Dogg (in various iterations), Warren G, and a dating show from a bygone era. There's an overt emphasis on all the G's, a clever 'Regulate' reference, and narration from Ted Williams -- the formerly homeless man with the Golden Voice. Unfortunately, the spot ...

Unlike some other aging gangsta rap icons, Snoop Dogg continues to prove himself both a prolific musician and a complacent corporate shill. (We're thinking of his recent collaborations with the TV show 'True Blood' and fembot Katy Perry, and even his contribution as a celebrity voice for TomTom GPS -- "Turn rizzle at the next intersizzle"?) And now Norton, the global computer security giant, is ...

Here at Switched, we try our best to refrain from taking pleasure in the misfortune of others. But, when said misfortune involves a game as odious as 'Mafia Wars,' we really can't help ourselves. This is Zynga, after all, the same game producer that unleashed the pestilence of 'FarmVille' upon the world -- and made untold millions in the process. Forgive us, then, if we couldn't hold back a smile ...

Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.

To keep everyone abreast of the latest action on Twitter, we turn to Asylum and their nomination for this week's celebrity "Twit of the Week." Frequent twitterer Snoop Dogg dropped a mysterious "twizzle" (or "tweet" for those unfamiliar with Snizzle lizzle) Wednesday for the supposedly deceased rapper Tupac Shakur. Or, it could be for an impostor, if you don't believe Tupac, Biggie, and Elvis ...

Oh Snoop, is there anything you can't do? The man that has conquered music, television, adult film, pee-wee football, and Martha Stewart is now setting his sights on the high-end headphone market, we just learned from Stuff.tv.

We at home, though, rest assured, are cringing more than laughing. After questioning the D-O-double-G-Y about ...
