Afternoon Links: On Thursdays, We Wear Pink and Recite All of Mean Girls
A Next Movie intern named Christopher Rosa has accomplished the remarkable feat of reciting Mean Girls in its entirety (well, almost — ol’ hawkeye in the comments notes four missing words at the 21:38 mark) in under 30 minutes.

- Katy Perry’s Roar album artwork is here. Yawn.
