Oh, For Fuck's Sake

Grantland did a credible job picking the 50 greatest college basketball players of all time, but today some chutterfuck is trying to tell us that scenes in Due Date and The Office feature the shitty Semisonic song Closing Time due to some magical warm hold of culture the song has on us:
The lesson of “Closing Time” is that we aren’t all that different from the fictional people hearing it on-screen — or the real people hearing it around us. “Closing Time” runs exactly four minutes and 34 seconds, but it encapsulates an infinite amount of experiences that are all roughly the same. It's the sound of being bored in the backseat of a friend’s car while on lunch break in high school; it looks like the too-tight pair of jean shorts that inexplicably became a wardrobe staple for a whole summer between sophomore and junior year in college; it smells like the first crappy apartment you ever had. 
Umm...gee, I dunno, maybe it's because it LITERALLY says "it's closing time", and both scenes featured offices that were, you know....CLOSING!!!!!
