Dutch designers MVRDV are being called “Al Qaeda lovers” for mocking 9/11 with what that looks like a freeze frame of the Twin Towers exploding. Dubbed “The Could,” the towers are connected halfway up by a 10-floor-tall pixelated cloud that houses common areas such as gardens, fitness center, pool, and shops. MVRDV initially feigned ignorance to any similarities between the buildings. “It was not our intention to create an image

In a very special holiday episode of Community, the gang gets into the Christmas spirit whether they like it or not. The Glee teacher recruits Jeff and his friends after an anonymous tip about copyright infringement shuts the glee club down. One by one they are seduced by song into joining, and I do mean seduced. Annie gives Jeff a lap dance while parodying Madonna’s cutesy version of “Santa Baby”

Fans of anime and manga series Ranma ½ have long wondered if Ranma, the gender bending protagonist who transforms into a woman when splashed with cold water, could ever become pregnant. To which creator Rumiko Takahashi answers, “I don’t think about that, and neither should you.” Well apparently one of the writers on the British TV series Misfits has been thinking about it. In season 3 episode 6, a boy

Nothing quite sets the season like Christmas cards of Santa, or as he’s known in Japan “American Christmas Devil.” Brad McGinty received this unique card from his grandfather. “These aren’t personal Christmas cards, but rather leftover cards from my grandfather’s failed attempt at starting a greeting card company a few years after WWII,” claims McGinty. A few years after my Grandfather returned from the war he decided to start a

As part of its effort to become a world leader in robotics, South Korea will start using robot prison guards next spring. Unlike the deceptively cute Jailbot featured in Superjail!, these R2-D2s with smiley faces are genuinely benign. Creator Lee Baik-Chul programmed the robots to monitor inmates for abnormal behavior. “But the robots are not Terminators. Their job is not cracking down on violent prisoners. They are helpers. When an

Parents may want to dress down when visiting Santa this year. The world famous Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School is teaching students to size up parents in order to scale back expectations. Fred Honerkamp, a lecturer at the school, suggests that Santas blame mischievous elves for any possible shortcomings on Christmas day. “In the end, Santas have to be sure to never promise anything,” said Honerkamp. Other Santas are

If little Ralphie lived in Arizona, A Christmas Story might have had a very different ending. At the Scottsdale Gun Club kids can get their picture taken with Santa and his little friends: AK-47, AR-15 with an attached grenade launcher, M60, M249, M240, and an $80,000 Garwood mini-gun mounted on a tripod. Ron Kennedy, general manager of the Scottsdale Gun Club, says the event isn’t aimed at children but the

It’s long been known that the heat from laptops can decrease sperm count but a new study from the Nascentis Centre for Reproductive Medicine in Cordoba says that the electromagnetic radiation produced by Wi-Fi networks could be even worse. Researchers exposed the sperm of 29 healthy men, aged 26 to 45, to a Wi-Fi enabled laptop for 4 hours and found that 25% of the sperm had stopped moving and

Way back in August, presidential candidate Herman Cain chose to close the Iowa debate by quoting a poet, who turned out to be disco queen Donna Summer singing the Pokémon: The Movie 2000 theme. As soon as this happened we should have known “Herman Cain is an Art Project” says Rachel Maddow. She points to other cultural references such as Cain’s 9-9-9 plan originating in the video game Sim City

Like something out of a Twilight Zone episode, the “Foreclosure mill” Steven J. Baum P.C. law firm is now itself out of business after photographs were released of employees mocking the homeless at the company’s 2010 Halloween costume party. The whistleblower says the pictures are characteristic of the company, which paid $2 million settlement for robo-signing documents to expedite foreclosures. “There is this really cavalier attitude,” she said. “It doesn’t
