Wait, Kris Kross are still going strong? In the loosest sense of the word “strong,” obviously, but still. (College Humor)
Now all we have to do is wait for the “My Kid Tried to Blow Up A Hannah Montana Concert” bumper stickers. (Deus Ex Malcontent)
Five of the most ill-conceived action figures. Noticeably missing is Sergeant Spank, the military figure who just needs to “blow off a little steam.” But uh, I don’t think that one’s intended for kids. (Cracked)
Stallone and Schwarzenegger star in a real life sequel to Death Becomes Her. Interesting bit of trivia: I saw that one in the theater! More trivia? It was the same theater where “The Blob” was filmed. I’m full of ‘em, today. (WIMB)
I hear the White family also loves shopping at Target and “According to Jim.” (QuizLaw)
Since yesterday’s menstruation link was such a hit, (you know you loved it, Slim) here’s a fond look back to why Tampax makes our female existence “less of a hassle.” (Jezebel)
Hayden Panettiere makes the big choice. No, not a presidential candidate, what kind of cola she prefers, sillies. (popoholic)
If we thought Brad looked haggard before, it sounds like the running tally of Brangelina spawn may have just jumped up to six. (IDLYITW)
I can today’s clip can be summed up by “language not safe for work.” How can you not click with that shining endorsement?
awww....I had all those toys. Every last one of them...well, except for Rambo. Although, to be fair...I was an idiot when I was a kid. Bright colors and cool movements fascinated me for hours.
I would so pay for a bumper sticker like that.
And again with the periods?!?!?!

That trailer just made me loose my s**t. Tears rolling down my eyes kind of laughter.
I also love the FISTO doll, and know of a couple friends that are going to be getting one as a white elephant gift next year.

I had Fisto the action figure!
He was the first in my MotU collection. I also got his Skeletor crew counterpart Jiu Jitsu: the same trick up its sleave, but darker tone of skin and crooked eyes, so you'd immediately knew he was evil.

at least nobody mentioned Leech, the one with suckers all over it. He was my favorite.
....what?

Shadows... um...
Aw hell, sometimes the joke tells itself.
Also, Jen wins the out-of-context-comment of the day prize for:I also love the FISTO doll.
That whole White family thing reminds me of "The Amazing Race: Family Edition" about a year back. On that show, there were several families and the only black family was... the Black family. This led to Phil the host eventually saying, "Black family, you are the last team to arrive."

Once again, I'm in awe of another painfully honest Cracked article. Although I can't get over how much Fisto reminds me of my high school English teacher.
Those Crash Test Dummies used to scare the shit out of me. I didn't even know they were toys, I just recognized the commercials.
The Tampax link...
LS, I'm not touching that one.

I know what you meant, but still....what the HELL kind of school did you go to?
That Kris Kross thing was fucked up. I don't even think either Kris or Kross even knew they had a website.
The hijacking kid ain't all that great. He got caught, didn't he? He was all talk, no walk. Little punk. Besides, for all we know, he could have been another nutbar fan who thought the dulcet tunes wafting from Radio Disney were telling him to join his and Hannah's souls together in a fiery blaze. Let's remember the last crazy person who was caught with duct tape and handcuffs.
The interesting thing about the White "racism" story is that Janesville is, or used to be, pretty racist. They had a big KKK branch there. The skinheads/KKK members that rioted on Geraldo's show in the '80s and broke his nose? From Janesville. Maybe now they're really sensitive about race issues.

I saw Death Becomes Her in the theater too. It was the first date for my husband and I. Now I'm feeling all *aww shucks** like.
The linked hijacking article failed to mention that the kid had his dates mixed up and attempted to hijack the plane a few days before the actual concert, which takes place tonight.
The Crash Test Dummies toys were awesome, hands down. One year for Christmas I received some kind of mondo playset of those guys and my friend and I turned it into the 'Abomination Station' where we hacked up action figures and glued them back together all sorts of fucked up.
And I bought the first season of Voltron on DVD but every time I try to watch it I fall asleep.

Yeah, I think I completely missed out on the whole "zombie" thing. Something on Pajiba has gone over my head. I don't like this feeling at all.

*skim reads back over things she's missed*
Aaaaaah, I see. Poor V. Although I am of the opinion that jokes get better with time so keep it up kids!

Best. Fake. Trailer. Ever.
