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 ...

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 the  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 ... [Read More]

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).

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 ... [Read More]

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 ... [Read More]

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 ... [Read More]
