Dramatic Inception Animals
It's the voice dubbing in the beginning that really brings it together. This is a great depiction of a conception for "Inception".
Herman Cain And Michele Bachmann Eat Chicken Wings
Presented without comment.
Video Of Rick Perry Shooting Things
Rick Perry says that for him, hunting is like golf. This shows that Rick Perry doesn't know how to play golf.
14 Punctuation Marks That You Never Knew Existed
Where have you been all my life, the Interrobang‽ Less so, the Asterism, despite the awesome name. How many of these did you know already? Be honest.
Skin Grafted Stiletto Implants
Now there's an image that sears itself right into the brain. Luckily this is just an exercise in what humans might consider sexy in the future for now.
Maroon 5 Ad Is Seeing Double
Man, the band has really lost their heads. I hope they didn't pay someone money for this Photoshop monstrosity.
The Least Flattering Photo Of President Obama
Ever. Didn't think it was possible to snap a bad picture of our dapper president, but I've been proven very wrong. Next time, try to get his good side...not his creepy Amber Alert side. Add Pervy Obama to any image with our handy photo editor at the bottom of the page!
Edible Spray Paint
Now you too can live out the fantasy of being King Midas. Food Finish was created as a tasteless (in more than one sense) way to spruce up boring meals at dinner parties.
5 Zombie Outbreaks That Would Doom Us All
Rage zombies have nothing on these guys. Does your Zombie Plan account for these terrors? If not, you're going to die.
Herman Cain Has The Best Campaign Buttons
I can't stand him, but I want one of these immediately. Other ideas? "Here comes the story of the Herman Cain/The man the authorities came to blame/for the best pizza in the land/Gonna lose the race but one time he coulda been the president of the states..." Okay maybe that wouldn't fit on a button. Maybe on a tote.
Insane Photo Of Two Members Of Italian Parliament Fighting
Wow. And why do we think our Congress is messed up? Because it is I guess. But at least John Boehner has never tried to choke Nancy Pelosi. At least not publicly.
Is It Bulletproof?
For Science! Oh sure, Blendtec Blenders can take on just about anything you put in them, but how do they stand up to .50 caliber rounds?
President Obama On "The Tonight Show"
The President sat down with Jay Leno for a wide-ranging interview that ran the gamut from Osama bin Laden to Occupy Wall Street to Halloween to waffles. Leno isn't exactly Edward R. Murrow, but it's an informative chat nonetheless.
The Shiny in Comic-Con
As the next Comic-Con approaches Austin TX in November (https://www.wizardworldcomiccon.com), we look to the recent NYC conference and some of their goodies galore. Exhibitors and Panels presented their best at NYCC, producing eye candy irresistible to the costumed masses. With an overload of childhood favorites and new release promos, many felt the tempting wane of their wallet. A Cultyard area brought innovative variations in design, artistry, new/resale products, tech, toys, etc. The selections were astounding. The plushie Vamplets, baby vampyres, had a grand gothic booth that easily drew onlookers. They exhibited a “cute & fun approach” to vampdom. A bit of exciting news is the pick up of their product line by Toys R’ Us. Their merchandise includes Vampets (such as zombie guinea pigs and rabid rabbits) with more expansion to come. Additionally, a book is in the making, written by the creator G-Ra. Gayle Middleton aka G-Ra was also a designer of The Littlest Pet Shop and My Little Pony. From plushie to plastic, we then find the Mimobots. Evan Blaustein (a toy collector like most in Mimoco) was once searching for a flash drive but was handed a TRON bearbrick (a designer collectible toy). The aesthetics of the bearbrick circuitry was similar to flash drive size and weight. Blaustein saw a market for the combination and wanted to turn the commodity product to a limited edition designer product. Mimoco opened their line to licenses with companies such as Star Wars, Hello Kitty and now Emily the Strange. Mimobot “took a utilitarian consumer electronic product and turned it into a limited edition collectible art piece. A Mimobot is a designer toy with a digital soul.” Further into NYCC, it was no surprise to see photo opportunities with the Batmobile and the ‘Back to the Future’ DeLorean. Vader’s Fist, a costuming organization, was in also full gear and character. A popular vampire sighting was James Marsters at the autograph section. Ironically, Vampire Slayer, Eliza Dushku, was a few tables down from James. One notable comic series has plans for a feature film mentioned in the New Gen panel http://www.newgenuniverse.com. With Mark Hamill officially their Creative Consultant, New Gen continues its stellar development. The epic story is set in a dimension “hovering above New Jersey and New York City” with twin superheroes and an environment of nanotechnology. We all look forward to the many many gifts each comic-con has to offer.
