Chevy Ad Says Their Electric Car Is Gay
This ad celebrated last weekend's Motor City Pride.
Homophobic oil execs (I imagine there are a few) would, while chuckling, their fat jowls jiggling, agree 100%.
But, good for Chevy.
One Million Moms protest in the works.

"Anybody got any silver duct tape?!? Cool. Honey, get your clothes off."

This looks SUPREMELY impractical.

An alien woman—in a plaid skirt, sure thing.

Inside The World's Greatest Miniature Village
Unchanged since 1961, “Roadside America” is seriously something everyone should go to. It was truly an experience. I got chills.
Roadside America is located in a town called Shartlesville, Pennsylvania.
Shartlesville is about 126 miles outside of New York City.
Forreal. Not kidding. At first I was like pfft, but then I did it and now I believe.
Some guy named Laurence Gieringer created everything in Roadside America by hand. BY HAND.
Gieringer's love of miniature models began around 1899, when he was five years old.

20 Of Ray Bradbury's Thoughts On Life, Death, And Writing
Remembering the prolific author of Fahrenheit 451 with his own words.
On Life:
People ask me to predict the future, when all I want to do is prevent it. Better yet, build it.
Beyond 1984: The People Machines
If we listened to our intellect, we’d never have a love affair. We’d never have a friendship. We’d never go into business, because we’d be cynical. Well, that’s nonsense. You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.

The Canadian Cannibal's Favorite Beer?
You've seen his facebook page , now discover his brew. Hint: It doesn't have any head ( snicker ). Also, read the funny new slogans people wrote for the beer on twitter.
The Montreal Gazette printed the above photo of Luka Magnotta, the man-eating porn star, along with a story about the manhunt. Labatt, stupidly, demanded that the paper remove the photo from its website.
What next happened is a page out of the book of Social Media Don'ts.
A twitter hashtag, #newlabattcampaign, exploded.
Labatt has since withdrawn their request. Too late.

The Zombie Apocalypse Continues With Two More Attacks In Miami And Louisiana
Another day, another attack. GOOD LUCK.
This is Brandon De Leon, he tried to eat a police officer.
According to The NY Daily News:
After cops put him in a police cruiser, Brandon De Leon, 21, slammed his head against the plexiglass divider and shouted at officers, "I'm going to eat you," NBC Miami reported.
He then growled, gnashed his teeth and tried to bite the hand of an officer attempting to treat his head wounds.
Cops placed restraints on De Leon and fit him with a Hannibal Lecter-style bite mask, the report said.

40 Stunning Photos Of Venus Passing In Front Of The Sun
Thanks, Science Photography! Special filters and satellites caught some pretty impressive images yesterday of Venus transiting the sun, a phenomenon where Venus passes between the Earth and the Sun, that won't happen again for 100 years.
In this handout composite image provided by NASA, the SDO satellite captures the path sequence of the transit of Venus across the face of the sun on June 5-6, 2012 as seen from space. The last transit was in 2004 and the next pair of events will not happen again until the year 2117 and 2125.

The Five LEAST Frightening "Goosebumps" Books
Judging books by their covers is an entirely worthwhile and accurate pursuit. When you write a hundred thousand books, a couple are bound to be duds…
Chicken Chicken
Goosebumps has a storied history of turning children into human/animal hybrids and human/object hybrids. This time-tested trope plays into our natural fears about being trapped in a situation we can't control. Unfortunately in "Chicken, Chicken", instead of turning the child into something frightening, he (or she, I can't tell) is turned into what appears to be a David Bowie chicken.
Tagline:
"It's a finger lickin' nightmare."
A Zombie Colonel Sanders would have been a much more frightening way to go with this.
Into The Jaws Of Doom
Somewhere, R.L. Stine has a list of things that are scary. Dinosaurs are on that list because they are giant powerful creatures. What he failed to account for is that when things are made only out of bones, they are not so powerful (see: old people). The guy on the cover of this book kind of looks like he's saying, "Some of my toes fell off, will you please put them back?" I would be much more worried about other things in a museum coming back to life, for example, anything that isn't held together by fishing line and dust.
Tagline:
"There's only one way out!"
Which I assume means I'm to be eaten and pooped out by a skeleton.
Lights Out*
So, the first fifty times I looked at this cover I thought the girl was talking on a cell phone, but she's totally not. She's just...clutching her face? You know, like you do when you're afraid. Other than her pronounced side-eye, there's just not much on this cover that reads sinister. Just crop out the author's name and this is the cover of a soft-core porn.
Tagline:
"It all happens in the dark"
Yep, definitely porn.
*I know the "Fear Street" series is technically not Goosebumps, but I'm trying to make a funny here, so cut me some slack.
The Haunted School
The title of this one is so promising! How many awesome things can you think of to go with that idea? So many! But instead, we're treated to a half black and white (why?) image of stuff falling out of a locker. The color part of the illustration, I'm fairly certain, is of Lisa Frank origin and the eyes inside the locker don't even look remotely sinister. Also, congrats on your "A". I'll have to concede that this book might actually be frightening, but judging from the cover we're in for some wacky hijinks where some friends try to see how many people will fit in a locker.
Tagline:
"They're watching you learn...the hard way."
What does that even mean? Do you have a learning disability? Is this about overcoming adversity? I'm so confused.
