Rubik's Cube sightings in media

In the movie "Taken" (2009), I'm pretty sure I just saw ORANGINA.

"Here, drink this. It'll take the edge off the shock."

Cubes have been very frequent in Swedish radio lately, for some reason. Before christmas, there's an annual marathon show for one week, broadcasted 24/7 in both TV and Radio with the aim of collecting money for charity. This year, one of the hosts tried to solve a cube all week :P At the end, he dit it with an instructions sheet. I think he got it from a comedian that was guest during the show. Said comedian also remembers 1059 decimals of pi. Unfortunately, I did not find any clips with except for him saying pi-decimals, but I stumbled upon this from November 2011. Also from Swedish radio, interviewing two participants of the annual national school contest in cubing.
Edit:
I also found a TV-interview with Simon Westlund, before that very same contest. It's kinda funny, the reporter tries to distract him in various ways to see how fast he can solve it then ;) I don't know if you can watch it from other countries, but if you reeeeally want to see it, I could upload it elsewhere (and propably get sued by Swedish television :p ) Here's the link anyway http://svtplay.se/v/2607918/han_ar_storfavorit_infor_skol-sm_i_rubiks_kub

I believe I was one of those :D
 
"some even get times under 45 seconds."
*scoffs* *walks away from tv* *considers calling station to complain* *decides to go cube some more instead*

My violin teacher said "Isn't the world record, like, 5 minutes?

Just saw someone bring in an original Rubik's Cube in the package from the 80s into the T.V show Pawn Stars. I'll try to find a link.
