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

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

The DC Universe has been rebooted and it all starts here: Action Comics #1. It takes place 5½ years before “The New 52″ line up, when Superman is just coming into his own. I had joked that Superman was slowing down in his old age, when he shot himself out of cannon in Action Comics #903, but it seems that a weaker Superman is now canon. No Tights No Flight

The Air Force is experiencing legal fallout after the revelation that chaplains at Vandenberg Air Force Base were teaching a questionable ethics course, which included a PowerPoint presentation on St. Augustine’s “Christian Just War Theory” informally known as the “Jesus loves nukes speech.” The mandatory course was intended to teach officers that the killing of innocents can be justifiable for the greater good, and that they should not hesitate to

Grammy-nominated gospel singer Peggy Scott Adams thinks funerals homes are too dark so she’s bringing them into the light. Adams took over the family business when husband passed away. The Robert L. Adams Mortuary has a 12-foot-wide drive-thru for easy access for the elderly, disabled, or just plain lazy visitors. “You can come by after work, you don’t need to deal with parking, you can sign the book outside and

Like a modern-day Rosa Parks, Imane Boudlal is suing Disney after being told she had to work at the back of the castle because of her hajib, a traditional but not necessarily religious headscarf. “They said, these are your options: either work in the back or go home,” alleges Boudlal. “I don’t want to be in the back. I’m a human being, I have feelings. Don’t put me in the

David Morales Colón wasn’t about to let a little thing like getting shot to death keep him from his favorite hobby. Colón’s embalmed body was mounted on his Honda motorcycle and is currently being displayed at the Marin Funeral Home in Puerto Rico. “He loved his motorcycle. It made him feel free from his worries,” said one mourner. “We all know he will be happy riding for eternity.&#

The Sentry may have more than just “godlike” powers. Dark Avengers #13 reveals the secret origin of the Sentry and MOSES! In a flashback (circa 1600 BCE) we discover that the same dark entity which possesses Robert Reynolds possessed Moses. In fact, it was this “Void” that was responsible for the biblical plague that killed all the Egyptian firstborns, which means either Moses was a false prophet or God is

It seems Muslims are always finding innovative new ways to blow themselves up: exploding toothpaste, exploding shoes, and now even exploding underwear. But just how might Muslims in the far-flung future blow themselves up? Hopefully with funny robotic voices. This rare political episode of Doctor Who shows that no amount of evolution will subside their thirst for blood (or oil)

Ever wondered whose god would win in a fight? More importantly who would lose? “The man in the sky is not coming to save you,” is the premise behind Warren Ellis’ new mini-series Supergod. Amid a burning London, a scientist named Reddin recounts the superhuman arms race that ignited the Apocalypse. The superhumans aren’t evil per se.  In fact, the most dangerous ones are those that want to save us,

More of a wetsuit than a bikini, the “burqini” is designed for Muslim women who want to go swimming without getting stoned for being whores. But these burqini girls won’t be getting (moderately) wet & wild in France where public pools have banned the bathing suit because of “hygiene rules.” President Nicolas Sarkozy says he supports the ban, “I think they’re dirty, and I’m not too fond of the swimsuit

Unlike the friendly and purely fictional genies of the Western world, jinns (as they’re called in the Middle East) are very real and kinda dicks. At least that’s what one family in Saudi Arabia is claiming. They’ve filed a lawsuit against a genie that’s been haunting them for the past 2 years. This unfriendly ghost has stolen their cell phones and left them threatening voicemails with their own phones no

In the economically hard-hit country of Latvia, banks are extremely wary of lending so entrepreneur Viktor Mirosiichenko came up with a sure-fire way to get borrowers to pay up. Borrowers have to put their souls up for collateral! The Kontora loan company offers loans up to $500 with high interest rates, but unlike traditional banks they don’t use debt collectors. Mirosiichenko warns deadbeats, “If they don’t give it back, what

There’s been a lot of debate about whether homosexuality is a choice or you’re born with it, but it turns out it’s neither. It’s a demon that enters you (sometimes repeatedly). A small Connecticut church is in hot water with child & gay advocacy groups after a performing a violent exorcism on a 16-year-old boy to cure him of his homosexuality (video below). A man, who ironically appears to mount
