Dustin Rowles is exceedingly proud of this post. I…have no comment. (Uproxx)

In the “Articles I Could Have Sworn Dustin Also Wrote” category, here’s a list of 30 film posters that ripped off another film. Some are obvious spoofs while others, well, damn, An Education, shameless. (Shortlist)

Speaking of rip-offs, NY Mag examines the ways in which show runner Ryan Murphy rips off his own material. Did anyone watch American Horror last night? (NYMag)

Johnny Depp apologized for that rape comment. He did it quite earnestly. I still blame Terry Richardson. (The Superficial)

This is, by far, the sexiest “Disney Princess” cosplay I have ever seen. By. Far. (GammaSquad)

Speaking of cosplay, this excellent tumblr instructs you on how to dress your boyfriend like certain nerd icons. You know, like they’re your living paper dolls. (Nerd Boyfriend)

Speaking of questionable gender roles, this Slate article examines whether or not your “Number” (of sexual partners) is still important and what it means to women vs. men. (Slate)

Hey, guess what? Jon Stewart hates Seth McFarlane! Silver-haired fake news anchors, they’re just like us! (Celebitchy)

Guess who was originally going to play Don Draper. No, seriously, guess. (PopWatch)

In “I’ll Never Ever Get Bored Of Star Wars” news, here are some delicious looking Wampa cupcakes. (Geeks Are Sexy) And, in “Things I Wish I Were In My Bedroom Growing Up” News, check out this awesome R2D2 planetarium. (Geekologie)

Finally, things are getting dicier by the minute over at the “Occupy Wall Street” protest. Police violence escalated last night but, thankfully, the protest did not turn into a riot. (The Village Voice)

mswas sent me this insane Metallica cover. Why are the people in the background just walking around as if something face-meltingly amazing isn’t happening?!?!

Finally, Apple co-founder and visionary Steve Jobs passed away yesterday. Jobs has been ill a long time and I’m glad his suffering has ended. I really don’t think it’s an overstatement to say his vision has changed the way our world works. Here he is narrating the original “Think Different” campaign.

New favorite thing ever. Love it. Love. It. So. Much.

So, let's all guess who'll play Steve Jobs in the inevitable 2 competing movies that will come out next year.

Posted by: BWeaves at October 6, 2011 1:40 PM

John C. Reilly. In both of them.

Nope, it's the role that Daniel Stern has been waiting for since City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold.

i fucking hate those fucking Think Different ads.

fuck you Apple.

you really think Ghandi would have given permission to use his likeness to sell computers?

Posted by: causaubon at October 6, 2011 1:56 PM

i'M with you on iMissing Steve Jobs. iCan't explain why i'M this affected. People were putting flowers at the door of the local Apple store. iCould not help but recall the Princess Di "mass mourning." Spoiled dilettante versus man who worked hard ancd changed the world. Huh.

I hate that creep.

RIP Steve Jobs.

Too bad you couldn't be with us a little longer and invent the iCar.

Wait...nobody's commented on the kids yet? Are you freaking kidding me? (Cleaning it up for the kids...) The chick on the right is going to be a total baddass in a few years. Way to go guys!

Posted by: NateS1973 at October 6, 2011 3:05 PM

Once again klingonfree speaks for me.

Posted by: PaddyDog at October 6, 2011 3:08 PM

If anyone wanted to dress me like David Bowie or even a few others on that nerd boyfriend site, I would totally do it.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at October 6, 2011 3:16 PM

Oh my god-right, Nate?
That was unbelievable!
That one little boy looked like he came straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting!

Posted by: Sew at October 6, 2011 3:30 PM

we hate Seth MacFarlane? If you say so. & yeah, the chick with the white axe is stone cold awesome. Drummer's pretty awesome too.

Posted by: koj at October 6, 2011 3:32 PM

Either those kids live in the most kick ass town in the world, where 8 and 10 year old's regularly rock out and other amazing shit like kungfu fights breaking out in libraries or something...


Or shit...don't know where I was going with this. My mind is too blown by the badassness of these kids to form a coherent comment...

Posted by: Diablo at October 6, 2011 3:47 PM

Those kids are awesome. Is the name of their band The Boot Monkeys? I love how the singer gets in the grunts and the aaahs at the end of the words like Hetfield does when he sings (although he could definitely use some practice). I wish I was a cool as that little girl when I was her age.

Posted by: Jadine at October 6, 2011 4:46 PM

I thought Bill Bailey's Enter Sandman cover couldn't be beat. I was so very, wrong. I got beat by the coolest under 10's I have ever seen.

Posted by: captainfireypants at October 6, 2011 4:47 PM

The name of the band is The Mini Band.

Posted by: mswas at October 6, 2011 4:51 PM

That little girl playing the Sandman guitar solo is the shit. I love how 'whatever' she looks about it too. Fucking rock star.

Posted by: LaRhue at October 6, 2011 5:05 PM

It's weird. I've grown to hate Family Guy, yet I still find Seth MacFarlane very likable whenever I see him in interviews.

Posted by: Freller at October 6, 2011 5:23 PM

I admit, I loled at the Lizzie McGuire poster in Dustin's slideshow... I also may have the maturity of a ten year old boy... *shrugs* oh well.

Posted by: Jessica at October 6, 2011 5:30 PM

Holy shit! I want to be that little girl when I grow up. Seriously, she's the definition of cool.

Posted by: Joker at October 6, 2011 5:35 PM

I won't eat coconut, but those wampa cupcakes are great.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at October 6, 2011 5:38 PM

Hmm yes thanks for doing nothing about all the suicides in your factories and donating nothing to charity SJ.

Yeah he changed the world alright!

Posted by: chumpy at October 6, 2011 6:01 PM

I wasn't surprised to hear Jobs died, the new liver and job resignation gave it away. What really suprised me was when I found out his age, he was only 56, a year older than my parents. He wasn't some sort of drug crazed lunatic, or concussion addled athlete, he was an ordinary guy, and now he's gone.

He changed the face of the earth, and it's so sad he's gone.

Posted by: Devil Child at October 6, 2011 6:23 PM

I heard those kids have already been signed by Warner Music Group. They're going on a one year tour starting next month, but first they have to clean their rooms.

Posted by: John W at October 6, 2011 9:44 PM

Perhaps Jobs The Great, but never Jobs The Good. Take the Um, Okay Train.

Posted by: Jo 'Mama' Besser at October 6, 2011 10:55 PM

Dear Godtopus Almighty:

I know I'm not tell you enough t hat I'm grateful for things, but I must tell you now:

Thank you in all your tentacley goodness for making them pick Jon Hamm as Don Draper.

Yours truly in devotion and love,

Jobs saw computing tech from the POV of people who would use it.

They say "design" a lot about Jobs' products, but I think "appliance" captures it better. A gorgeous, vintage art deco toaster may look like art, but the magic is that you can use it with no idea of how electricity makes heat, or bi-metallic coils can control how burnt your bran muffin gets. Similarly Jobs & company made gizmos that let non-techies manage information, without having to get all that computer-ick on you.

Also, I just found my Halloween costume - Zombie-Jobs & endless "no Jobs" jokes.

Too soon?

Posted by: BierceAmbrose at October 6, 2011 11:45 PM

I loathe The Family Guy and the rest of Seth's copycat Sunday night programming. I know people keep telling me it's awesome, or at least it use to be good, but when I watch his stuff it comes across as somebody who desperately thinks they are funny when they aren't, and they are trying way too hard.

How's that vegan diet working out for you, Steve?
