Traffic Nightmare

Drivers in Austin, Texas found themselves doing a double take this week when they saw road signs warning of zombies in the area. The signs were hacked into to say things like “The end is near!!!!!!!!!” “Caution! Zombies ahead!!!” and “Run for cold climates!” Tampering with the signs is a Class C misdemeanor punishable by up to a $500 fine, but the sign owner (and zombie holocaust denier) Wayne Haggard

From the White House to the Poor House

You know the economy is bad when the White House gets a foreclosure notice. Fortunately for Obama this White House is in Atlanta, Georgia. McMansion builder Fred Milani built theĀ  1/3 size replica, complete with Oval Office, because he believed “it was Jesus’ plan.” Milani is $1.75 million behind on his loan, but an activist group called A Mighty Move of God (AMMOG) convinced the bank to work something out

Hulk VS – Review

Hulk VS is a fanboy’s dream: light on story, heavy on “Hulk smash.” It retells two classic brawlfests: Hulk VS Wolverine and Hulk VS Thor (sorry no Hulk VS Superman). In the first featurette Wolverine is drafted by Department H to stop a rampaging Hulk. Rampaging because Weapon X is trying to recruit him and they don’t take no for an answer. Of course Wolverine doesn’t realize this until after

Super Baby Daddy

Batman may be dead in the DC Universe but that’s not stopping him from “teaming up” with Supes in Superman/Batman Annual #3. When the World’s Finest encounter a mysterious metahuman possessing both their powers it leads to what is perhaps the most disturbing paternity test ever (picture left). But both are relieved of any responsibility when it becomes painfully obvious only one man could be Composite Superman’s father. See what

Batman Dead! (for real this time)

It seems the caped crusader just can’t catch a break (except that one time with Bane). First, he literally lost his mind. Then, he was presumed dead after punching a helicopter to death in Batman R.I.P. When in fact, an incapacitated Batman was taken prisoner in an attempt to create an army of Batmen. And no sooner does he escape than he meets his demise at the hands of Darkseid

KARR Returns!

Like most people I’ve been sorely disappointed with the new Knight Rider series, but when I heard Peter Cullen would be reprising his role as the voice of KARR in this week’s episode “Knight to King’s Pawn,” I had high hopes. I feel like I’ve been Rickrolled. The entire plot was ludicrous. We’re expected to believe Mike can single-handedly break into Area 51!? Or that KITT uploads his entire program

Barenaked Ladies – Snacktime!

When I first grabbed this I had no idea it was actually a children’s album. In fact, even after listening to a couple songs I was still oblivious. I guess the first song 7 8 9 (get it?) shoulda tipped me off but as a fan of quirky bands like They Might Be Giants I found myself actually liking some of the songs, which is kinda the point. It’s music

Spidey Meets the President!

Like so many commemorative plates & coins, comics are cashing in on Barack Obama. Spidey Meets the President! is a back-up story in Amazing Spider-Man #583 that reads like one those old Hostess cakes advertisements, which I guess makes Obama a Ding Dong. You know, black on the outside, white on the the inside (zing). The 5-page story takes place on inauguration day. Moments before Obama can be sworn in,

Super Gay

Comic book legend Stan “The Man” Lee is going gay (with his newest superhero). He’s got new TV series coming out about a superhero who’s hiding more than just his secret identity. It’s unknown what powers he’ll have but considering this is the creator of Spider-Man we’re talking about, don’t be surprised if you hear the words “my fashion sense is tingling!” Many news sites are reporting this as “the

The Unborn – Review

When I heard that explosion enthusiast Michael Bay was doing a movie about an evil unborn spirit, I thought this is gonna be the messiest delivery ever (my rendering left). Sadly there’s no exploding vagina. Now I’d warn you about spoilers, but what’s to spoil? If you’ve seen the trailer, then you’ve already seen all the “scary” scenes. And even if you haven’t, you’ll still see ‘em coming from a

Funniest Infomercial Ever!

Would you like to “get the results of a 2 mile run without the time or effort!” Then you need to watch this infomercial (video below). You’ll literally laugh your ass off. But it’s no joke. Lean Sleeves (www.leansleeves.com) are the next revolution in exercise. Lean Sleeves are arm & leg weights but without all that cumbersome weight. Plus they’re adjustable, “which makes them great for all ages.” And just

Demons – Review

ITV’s new show Demons has received a lot of criticism calling it a British Buffy: The Vampire Slayer (except not good). And for the most part it’s true. Like Buffy, Luke discovers that he’s descended from a long line of demon slayers. The last Van Helsing, a fact his mother is oblivious of. He’s even got a good vampire as a teammate and a mentor named Rupert. But that’s where

Poking fun at

For just 50 bucks you can poke some Asian box (legally). Tuttuki Bako, or poking box, is the newest curiosity out of Japan. Similar to Cube World, Poking Box features spunky stick figures but it’s much more hands on. Players can stick their finger, or any other appendage (wink wink), inside the game and interact with the characters via a pixelated representation (clean video left / dirty video right)

Stargate Atlantis – Series Finale

Wow. Did they really need a whole episode in an alternate universe (Vegas) just to reveal the location of Earth to the Wraith? Couldn’t they have used that episode to, oh I don’t know, actually build up to the final episode instead of rushing through it like this. Enemy at the Gate runs like a cliche checklist. [spoilers] Todd comes to Atlantis for help (yet again): check Ultimate super hive

Are you Kidney me?

Richard Batista, a surgeon at Nassau University Medical Center on Long Island, says his wife stole his heart and his kidney. He donated her his kidney in 2001 but now wants it back (or the going rate – $1.5 million), alleging infidelity in an ongoing divorce proceeding. He may not have his kidneys but he’s got some stones
