We've mentioned cockeyed.com before (right here in fact), but if you've never stopped by that site before, you should. It's quite entertaining.
They have a really great section of pranks that always tend towards the absurd. This one in particular involves fake magnetic product labels for nonexistent oddities like "STUFFED ZEBRA", "DVD HELMET", and "INFANT SKULL REPLICA". Several people were involved in this one, and there are many pictures of the results.
Admin note: Unfortunately, looks like the prank has been taken down from the site. I highly recommend checking out their other pranks, however.
This, my friends, is Pug Fight. A brutal glimpse into the cruel world of underground pug fighting. You will never be the same after viewing this, but you may find yourself with a new hat.
Looks like John Cheese is going at the ghost hunting thing solo for a little while. If you don't know who John Cheese is, amongst other badassery he's the 'John' from the book John Dies At The End, which you should totally go out and buy. Right now. I'll include an Amazon link, just in case you're agoraphobic.
He's also recently started a new site, Trucker Logic. Only has a few articles up so far, but they're funny. So is this video, where Cheese uses his experience in ghost hunting (and maybe a dose of soy sauce) to debunk some famous viral ghost videos.
I have to admit, however, that I was sorta hoping a new video in the JDatE Youtube channel meant that another round of the Alternative Reality Game was beginning. This is good too, tho.
You know what, the existence of this Justin Bieber/Black Flag t-shirt makes me think that I may be getting too old for the internet. I think I've reached some sort of irony threshhold, and this definitely crosses it. I'm not exactly sure how though, strangely enough. If I had seen a character in a comic or cartoon with this logo on their shirt, I would have appreciated the irony and laughed. When I first saw the picture I assumed it was a mildly humorous photoshop. Apparently, however, the fact that this is an actual thing and you can buy it rubs me the wrong way.
I think it's because I now have to confront the fact that someone somewhere is going to buy this. Maybe even wear it. This isn't the same as wearing a worn-out thrift store Color Me Badd or Kenny G shirt ironically. This isn't even the same as wearing one of those fake thrift-store t-shirts that have been infuriating me for about a decade. This is worse somehow, and what makes it even harder to deal with is that I can't exactly put my finger on why.
