Note from Anastasia: I'm pretty tired from traveling this week -- still in CT posting this from a bar before heading to the airport to fly home. I'm sure I'm missing stuff today -- if I did, please let me know so I can post it Monday. Have a great weekend Ypulse readers!

Folks rallying to save Disney's Virtual Magic Kingdom (plus one mom's perspective on the shutdown)

- Classic 'Mortified' (the "Mortified" gang put up new videos of some classic performances from celebs like Elijah Wood and Busy Philips)

- Design undies (to encourage safer sex in a new contest from ISIS)

- 'Make your plastic fantastic' (new "green" effort from Coke - t-shirts made from recycled bottles.) (BrandWeek)
