Giving Future Archaeologists Something to Do – Amazing Underwater Sculptures in Mexico
The images you are about to see are from a new artificial reef off the coast of Mexico (near Cancun) that is made entirely out of human statues.
This Should End Well – KISS Declares War on Anonymous
Looks like Anonymous done goofed and pissed off The Demon himself, Gene Simmons.
If you have no idea what any of that meant, you may be one of the lucky delicate internet virgins that haven’t heard of Anonymous. They are a loosely-knit group of hackers and internet mischief-makers that frequent one of the last bastions of anarchy and true anonymity on the internet, 4chan. Between swapping child porn and creating internet memes they put on their tights and fight injustice on the web.
Making Movies and Negotiating Obscenities
Prior to it’s theatrical release in 1975. ”Monty Python and The Holy Grail” was privately screened before a member of the British Board of Film Classification (in charge of movie ratings). Producer Mark Forstater sent the following letter to co-producer Michael White notifying him of the changes they needed to make in order to get a lower (and as such more commercial) rating.
Hunter Thompson’s Job Application to the Vancouver Sun
Here’s one all the job-hunters will appreciate.
It’s almost hard to believe but once upon a time (in 1958 to be exact) the great and influential Hunter S. Thompson was just another Joe Journalist looking for a job. Of course, he wouldn’t be HST if he didn’t, even so early on in his career, do everything in his trademark take-no-prisoners fashion, even when it comes to something you’d expect to be rather ordinary like a job application letter.
Lady Gaga Drag Volleyball
Rehoboth Beach in Delaware has a somewhat unusual Labor Day tradition: every year since 1988, a volleyball game draws thousands of spectators who spend the afternoon cheering on two teams of strapping young men dressed in women’s knickers and bikinis battling for glory and bragging rights of being the toughest chicks in town.
Not surprisingly, this year’s theme was Lady Gaga and the game featured “Girls of the Gaga Galaxy” versus the “Trans World Air Atlantic Stewardesses”.
The Stewardesses ended up victorious, but a good time was had by all, especially during the dance intermezzo by the looks of it.

Because Your Car Always Wanted to Rock a ”Stache” + other Other Silly Car Accessories
Long gone are the innocent times when the only displays of customizable car douchebaggery were vanity plates, kitschy flame stickers and rear end spoilers.
Today the creative ways you can make your car look stupid (or awesome, depending on how you look at it) are countless and limited only by your imagination. If it’s silly and can be attached to a car – you can probably buy it somewhere.
Now Your Feet Don’t Have to Go Commando
And you thought underwear was something you used to keep your privates in one place. How wrong you were. Now your feet can cover up their shame too!
Apparently, this is not an attempt to promote foot modesty but rather something to help you while you dance. It still looks creepy though.
Here is what the manufacturer has to say:
“The next innovation in dance. FootUndeez™ are the perfect choice for any body in motion. FootUndeez™ provide protection and security where it is needed most.”
You can order your pair of foot knickers right here.
F*ck Me Blue: Avatar Porn is on the Way
A few months ago rumors first hit the web that Hustler had an Avatar-themed “parody” XXX film in the works. A few days ago the first promotional images came out.
I would love to be able to write about how shocked and appalled I am that there is, presumably, a market out there for movies featuring 8 foot tall blue cat-orc-fox-human… THINGS bumping uglies, and that there are enough people prepared to pay actual money to skin their salami to such things.
But you know what? I can’t. In the years on the internet, things have been seen that can’t be unseen. Rule 34 of the Internet says (among other things) that which ever cartoon, kids show or toy you pick out, regardless of how gentle and innocent – there is a pornographic version of it out there. Go ahead, try it if you dare. Care Bears? Check. Transformers? Check. The Simpsons? Check. Harry Potter, Spunge Bob, Pokemon, Star Wars, Thundercats, ET? Check, check, check, check, check and CHECK. I really don’t want to go searching, but smart money says there’s probably Neverending Story porn available out there as well.
So considering all that, I’m sad to say that when I read the news of the upcoming Avatar sausage-fest, the most surprising thing was… that they’re doing it in 3d.
Doing it. Har. Har. In 3d.
Now The Child That You Screwed Up Will Have Something To Keep Him Company
If I wasn’t morally obligated to not have children these are the toys I would get them.
A German toymaker has produced a range of plush toys with mental illnesses that have simply made my evening.
The toys range from Dub, a turtle who suffers depression, to Kroko, a crocodile with an acute phobia of water, as well as an hallucinating snake called Sly and a sheep called Dolly who has a personality disorder

Sing Long and Prosper – The World’s First Klingon Opera
It is a joyous day for every Star Trek fan that has ever owned a pair of pointy ears! On Friday in The Hague (Netherlands) “U’ the opera sung entirely in Klingon has officialy premiered. For those of you who are not well versed with Klingon language and history ”U” is the Klingon word for “universe” or “universal” and the opera revolves around Kahless the Unforgettable, as legend tells it, the first Klingon Emperor.
“Klingon are known as passionate opera lovers but at the same time very little was known about Klingon opera here so as far as I was concerned that was a very interesting challenge to try and make an authentic, or as authentic, something out of that as possible,” U co-creator Floris Schonfeld told Reuters andThe BBC.
I’m guessing by ”here” he means Earth.

Here It Is Folks, The Reality Show To Make You Hate Utah
Earlier this month, we wrote a small article about the upcoming reality show on TLC about polygamy, a seven-part series following Kody Brown, his three wives (and his quest to procure a fourth) and their combined litter of 13 children.
Well folks, here it is, the preview you’ve all been waiting for in all it’s fundamentalist Mormon glory!
I cry for humanity sometimes, I really do….
Nike Patents “Back to the Future” Sneakers
Gizmodo brings us an interesting bit of news: apparently Nike has filed a patent for a sneaker that’s much like the self-lacing shoe that we saw in Back to the Future II, which you may remember were actually branded as Nike too.
Now, just because they patented something doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll ever be made into a prototype, let alone become something you can buy, but still. BTTF2 happens in the year 2015 which would be plenty of time to get these into production if they really are feasible as the patent suggests, and have reality, in a way, be true to film for once.
Go Out and Be Proud – Saturday is Read Comics in Public Day!
This Saturday, all around the globe comic book fans will have an opportunity to show their hidden passion openly and without shame to the world as it is officially ”Read Comics in Public” Day.
Read Comics in Public Day is the brainchild of Sarah Morean and Brian Heater, who run The Daily Cross Hatch :
“The concept is fairly simple: we’re asking that everyone take an hour or two out of their day on August 28th (also the birthday of Jack “King” Kirby, incidentally) to read a comic book in a public setting—a park bench, a beach, a bus, the front steps of your local library (we do ask, however, that you be mindful of local loitering laws). Let strangers see you reading a piece of sequential art.”
So grab a stack of comics on Saturday and head outside, it’s time to freak out normal people!

Pillow Fight at 20 000 feet
Apparently German fliers have figured out a slightly better way with dealing with cabin fever than their American colleagues at JetBlue. Instead of cursing, whacking each other with luggage, throwing diva tantrums that would shame Naomi Campbell and deploying emergency slides, the passengers on a recent Lufthansa flight decided to strip down to their underwear and have a good old fashion pillow fight.
Okay, maybe not the underwear part. But they did have an all-out pillow fight, and one of the flight attendants was in the thick of things, chucking the fluffy little ballistic weapons every which way.
