Rubik's Cube sightings in media

image.jpg can anyone see that image? Me and my little brother were on the local news. This was 4 years ago... I'm not that little anymore! Anyway, I solved it on the local news.
 
Feliks in a game show question

Last night I was watching an episode of the trivia game show The Chase ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chase_(U.S._game_show) ) which I had recorded on January 7. One of the questions was about Feliks!

The question was something like: Teenager Feliks Zemdegs set a world record by doing what in under 7 seconds? There were three choices. One of them was solving a Rubik's Cube. Another was scaling a 50 foot tree (which I bet Feliks could do in under 7 seconds...one handed). I don't remember the third choice. Both contestants got the question right and both said they had seen clips of Feliks on YouTube.

The cube continues to gain legitimacy. 2016 Olympics, here we come! :)
 
Ravi Fernando (briefly) on TV clip show

On TruTV's World's Dumbest Show Offs, they showed a 5 second clip of the end of Ravi solving a cube while juggling. It started roughly at this point:

They spliced in audio of Noah Arthurs saying something like "He can actually solve a cube while juggling."

Despite the pejorative term in the title of the show, there was no negative judgement aimed at Ravi while the show aired the clip. For much of the show, comedians made fun of the people in the clips but during Ravi's clip, the announcer just said something like "Some of our showoffs can multi-task".

It's still crazy to me that Ravi can actually do this!
