Pacman Cupcakes

These look fucking delicious. Not to mention, the set is absolutely nerd-tastic. I so want to go waka-waka on these bad boys...

There is a new dating site aimed specifically at sea captains. Sounds like a prank by a Simpsons fan but at this point I almost believe this is for real. Anyway, here is their commercial.

Big F***ing Gun

The aptly named "Raging Judge" is a revolver that shoots shotgun shells. I'm sorry but how small does your penis have to be to get one of these?

If We Don't, Remember Me

This Tumblr has been around for a while and I urge you all to check it out. It's got some of the coolest movie gifs I've ever seen. It's a little like Three Frames, but not as weird.

Holy Motherf***ing Shit

Egypt is off the Internet

Web traffic to Egypt (Pic via Arbor Networks)

As of last night Egypt has apparently completely unplugged itself from the internet in order to prevent people from using it as a tool to organize their protest against president Mubarak (in office for the past 30 years). Basically the country is cut off from the world.

Michael Scott Meets David Brent

So it's happened. The two bosses of The Office have met and it feels oh so good. As much as I enjoyed this crossover, does anyone else feel like this is the metaphorical shark that's being jumped over?

404 Poetry

Pic via Flickr

I came across this a while ago and really liked it. Unfortunately, I was unable to determine the source/author of this creative re-imagining of Poe's classic "The Raven".

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I websurfed, weak and weary,
Over many a strange and spurious website of 'hot chicks galore',
While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning,
And my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour.
"'Tis not possible," I muttered, "give me back my cheap hardcore!" -
Quoth the server, "404".

WikiLeaks ISP to Anonymize Traffic

Swedish ISP Bahnhof, which among other sites hosts Wikileaks in Sweden, plans to have all of their traffic go through a VPN service. As a result nobody could request IP addresses of site visitors, since even the hosting company doesn't have them.

Picture related: It's the entrance to the ISP's data center, located in a former nuclear bunker in a mountain. These people are like James Bond villains except that they're good guys. It's awesome!

Celecrity Refuse

San Francisco artist Jason Mecier has apparently made a series of portraits of celebrities. Made from nothing more than the trash of those celebrities. Notice the condoms at the top left of this Tina Fey collage.

Hot News Anchorettes

Indiana University did a study on the effect of attractive female news anchors on a male audience. Surprise, surprise, the prettier the lady, the less the dudes remember about what she was talking about. I'm sorry, but did we really need a study to determine that?

btw: Is "anchorette" really a word?

Francis Ford Coppola on File Sharing

"I’m going to be shot for saying this. But who said art has to cost money?"

I think this guy gets it. The music industry is an abomination. It fucking destroys art and only when the artists don't make fucking millions anymore can the art truly return to being pure and honest. I'm loosely paraphrasing Steal This Film II here, but there was music before there were records. At the end of the day I believe the death of the music/film industry would be the best thing to happen to our culture since the invention of singing.

Find the complete interview on the99percent.com.

RIP Enyclopedia Dramatica

According to their Twitter and Facebook, ED is gone for good. Could be bullshit though. Who knows with those people.

[update:] Aaaand they're back. Guess we should have known.

Worst Baby Name Ever

Seriously, that cannot be a name. What kind of a parent would call their child Abcde. I kind of hope this is a hoax because if it sn't there probably is some poor schmuck somewhere walking around with that fucking name.

Comic Saaaans!!

This probably appeals to the condescending hipster in all of us. I mean, everybody who doesn't think Helvetica is the greatest typeface ever can't be right in the head.
Jokes aside Comic Sans is pretty terrible. It probably will be the death of Western society.

Lion Meat

Delicious Cat

A restaurant in Tucson, AZ has announced they will be serving Tacos filled with lion meat, which apparently is legal so long as the specific species of lion is not endangered. May be they're trying to appeal to Melmacians or something.

Drunk Owl Picked Up by Police

Spiegel Online writes that German Police followed reports of a seemingly disoriented bird by a road. They said it had droopy eyes and some small bottles of schnapps were found nearby. So they took it to their local expert on drunk birds and once it was sobered up released. Picture somewhat related - I don't think it's the actual owl.

True story.

When Worlds Collide

So it seems that no other than David Brent (please tell me that you know who that is) will be making a special appearance on the January 27 episode of The Office. This may just be an attempt to make people forget that Stave Carell is quitting after this season, still it sounds f****ng awesome. Anyways, here's David's hit single (fast forward to 1:11 if you're impatient).

She's not dead!

Why Do Men Watch Modern Family, You Ask?

Well, here you go.

Three Zeros

Once upon a time there was a small town in Northern Germany. Some day they found they were in need of some office supplies and subsequently ordered 32 Euros worth of pens and paper and such. Unfortunately they accidentally wired 32,000 € (32 THOUSAND!!) to the supply company.
Three months later they realized their mistake. Of course, by then the supply company had gone bankrupt and incapable of giving them a refund. Fear not though, citizens of Eutin, you should get back part of that money within the next 3 to 6 years.

If you ask me 31,968€ is just the right price for stupidity of these proportions.

Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 8 Teaser

It doesn't exactly tell you a lot about the upcoming season - not even a release date - except that the show will be set in New York rather than LA.

What the f*** is this?!

Okay, so, apparently MTV just started to produce music videos itself and this is one of the first ones. I mean, I used to love LCD Soundsystem, but all this Freemason crap is really weirding me out.

On a completely unrelated note, apparently the headquarters of MTV Toronto is sited in a former Masonic Temple.

Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes

He's making new friends all over the place.

[update] It now seems, he will not be invited back to the Golden Globes. Not as a presenter or a nominee.
