Rue The Day!

It’s too early to say whether any supposed spoilers are actually legitamate for the movie the Orphan, but it’s apparantly:

I know what’s wrong with Esther.
SPOILER ALERT! DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANNA KNOW!
She is really a 33-year-old woman who was born with proportional dwarfism which causes her to have the appearance of a child. She also happens to be a former prostitute, who had wealthy paedophiles for clients. The reason why she has her neck covered is because she was once in asylum and she struggled so much in her straitjacket that it left with her deep scars on her neck.

Maybe it’s just me, but that’s one of the stupidest/funniest plot twists ever -although it still doesn’t say why she’s so down to kill her whole adopted family.

Personally, I think this movie not only looks like a piece of crap, but it’s also offensive to adoption supporters everywhere.

Speaking of weird taxidermy, The Gopher Hole Museum in Alberta, Canada features cute, dressed up taxidermied gophers. There are over 47 dioramas. Interestingly, PETA, the #1 group you love to hate, is responsible for really pushing the publicity of this great tourist destination through their excessive whinning and bitching. Gee PETA, maybe it would help if you renamed gophers like you tried to do with “sea kittens.”

Neatorama has turned me on to one of the most disturbing Live Journal communities I’ve seen in a while. WTF? Taxidermy certainly does live up to its name. See example above for details. Why would you do that to a deer butt? Why?

I am severly disturbed by this comb created by Reid Peppard I’m all for taxidermy and fur-accessories, but putting the top half of a dead rodent in your hair is just freaky.

Tomorrow don’t forget to stop by a local 7-11 and pick up your free tiny Slurpee. Your local francise may also offer some great deals for 7 or 11 cents. Horray for 7/11!

The real problem with tasers isn’t the danger they pose to people who get hit with the shock, it’s that they just aren’t cute enough. Finally, a real solution. How awesome would it be to see cops carrying these? If they were legal in California, I just might get one myself.

Are you the type to quit when the going gets tough? Prepare to be told you’re pullin a palin whenever you do. It’s the new buzz phrase and was just added to Urban Dictionary.

I’ve always had a thing for weird Japanese ads and this one is perfect. For more wonderful Japanese ads, check out this post on Mental Floss.

Whether you’re life reads out like the show or you just find the antics of Michael Scott to be hillarious, you may appriciate the new blog My Boss Is Michael Scott. There are only a few posts up so far, but given the fact that they invite user submissions, I imagine there will be quite a few funny stories up in a short period of time.

If you’re looking to laugh, you should definately read The Tampon Trials, where an intrepid young man works to find the least absorbent and thus most safe (so he believes) tampon on the market. The results of this ill-advised experiment are simply priceless. Here’s a little quote:

This sounds strange, because for most products — paper towels, maxipads, adult diapers — absorbency is a good thing. But with tampons, ultra-absorbency can cause the rare but fatal Toxic Shock Syndrome, which is why doctors recommend that women use the least absorbent tampon they need.

Now, I’m a guy. I know nothing about these things. But this makes me worry for all the womens out there. We’ve got to cut down on tampon absorbency. As far as I’m concerned, these super-absorbent tampons are just waiting to explode.
