Culture Buzz Well this is only extremely depressing. French photographer Benjamin Bechet juxtaposes famous fictional icons with no so cheery lives.
Culture Buzz Balloooooons!!! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Augmented Reality is pretty wicked. Sure this is a glorified commercial, but if you don't at least smile at how these kids react, you might be dead inside.
Movie Buzz And one television show. Over at SomethingAwful, toons are being photoshopped into darker situations, with hilarious results. I dare you to say you wouldn't watch these remakes.
Culture Buzz Artist Markus Hofko breaks down Disney characters to their fundamental building blocks. This was accomplished by dropping Disneyland mascots kicking and screaming into the Large Hadron Collider.
A nasty fight breaks out between three women on a bus in Lincoln, NE, all of it caught on tape and hilariously presented in the format of a public access knockoff of America's Most Wanted. Do not engage with people wearing Mickey Mouse hats. They are obviously unstable.
Can you name them all? Eeen my country, eye chart looks at you! Heenh! Heenh! Heenh! Boo.
Culture Buzz An Etsy shop that makes collectible plates far more collectible by adding everything from zombies to Goonies. Yodamin Franklin would look classy as crap hanging above your mantle. Many more over at Beat Up Creations.

Knowledge can be a terrible, horrifying burden.
Food Buzz Bento chef Maki Ogawa crafts food that will make both your mouth and heart water. A part of you will feel like an irredeemable monster for eating these.
Food Buzz What's a trip to the happiest place on earth if you can't have a Mickey Mouse shaped hamburger to eat? Sayonara! I'm off to Tokyo Disney to grab a bite of Mickey's ears.
Culture Buzz Balloons! Photos taken with my iPhone while in the crowd. The obstructing lamp post, shoddy camerawork and sea of human heads make you feel like you're really there!
Government communists are re-mixing old cartoons to attack Glenn Beck, says Beck. Watch as Mickey finds out.
Looks like the cartoonists over at Disney could use a little more imagination. Go figure.
Mickey Mouse is getting a modern makeover. Disney is worried that Mickey's image has become “too much of a corporate symbol,” so they're spicing it up a bit by making him meaner. Here's a picture of what Mickey will look like in a new video game called Epic Mickey. [Edit: Apparently this a throwback?]
An image mash-up that was bound to happen. The original might give you nightmares, but could the Disney-ified edition usher in a new kid-friend era for the Iceland songstress?
This is from an old story about a video now removed from YouTube in which Disney characters engaged in a playful, costumed orgy, but the picture was too amazing not to post. Feisty commenters, please understand that the Internet goes in circles, and the cream of the crop tends to resurface years later when it involves Mickey Mouse grinding against a snow man.
Culture Buzz Small loopholes in the early copyrights for Mickey Mouse may release the cartoon character to the public domain this year. Some 1920s lawyer is really kicking himself. Most likely, Disney will go crazy on people’s asses and take back the mouse—but can’t we all dream of a world in which we could produce Mickey’s likeness without punishment? Utopia!
