Are you short, hairy and stinky? Guess what? Adult Swim is looking for you. Cartoon Network’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force is now casting Carl look-alikes to star in their first ever live action show. The search begins at the San Diego Comic Con on Saturday, July 26 between 3-6 P.M. at the Omni Hotel. From the press release:

Aqua Teen Hunger Force, one of Adult Swimâ€™s most popular animated action-adventure, comedy-dramas, follows the strange everyday lives of three human-sized food products who live in New Jersey. Their next-door neighbor is Carl, a simple man whoâ€™s endearingly sweaty, hairy, lewd, fashion-challenged, horny, nasty and oftentimes annoying. All men remotely fitting that description are encouraged to show up. It would also help to be bald, have a mustache and wear a dirty white tank top, sweat pants and flip-flops.

Of course, I will be at the convention covering all the goodness and will see if I can get some footage of the best wannabe Carls. If you do look like this, I highly advise you to apply as it may be your only chance to ever get laid. Ever.

Stupidest Products (or ideas) Ever

Breast Milk Jewlery

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t want anything made from another woman’s breast milk. Particularly jewelry. I guess if you’re one of those weird people that has an obsession with mothers in societies though, you might like it. -Freak.

Thanks Boing Boing.

The Shitbox is A Good Thing?

No Comments on The Shitbox is A Good Thing?

I’m stuck between considering this brilliant and idiotic. Basically, it’s a cardboard toilet that’s easy to construct, use and dispose. It’s biodegradable too.

The bad side…is it really strong enough to hold a fat ass shitting for an hour? Also, won’t it leak after a very short amount of time?

Is this something that belongs in “Stupidest Inventions Ever,” or are you happy they finally created it?

Thank Boing Boing for finding us this brilliant eBay listing for a sasquatch hunter -yours at only $150,000.

“Most of the Tv shows,books,and articles covering the search for Bigfoot are a joke.Nothing but pure amatuers….My methods would be covering lots and lots of territory in very remote country.I have been a big game hunter nearly all of my life and am an experienced big game hunting guide and am currently employed by a big game hunting outfitter in Wyoming.Contact me if you would be interested in funding an expedition that will get results.”

Wowzers. Anyone have $150,000 I can borrow?

Pink Tentacle has some great images from artist Ryohei Hase. The digital artist’s work mainly focuses around bizzare human/animal interactions. As I like to classify my favorite art as “demented bunny rabbits,” I, of course, love them. Check out his gallery (NSFW).

Around the World In Pizza Time

Americans definitely love pizza (eating 350 slices of it per second) and although it originated in Italy, we have certainly taken it and ran with it. If we could bastardize the Italian tradition by adding things like pineapple and barbecue sauce, then what have other cultures done to further alter the face of pizza as we know it?
