Geek Out: My Little Geek-Out Ponies. Oh, and the Rugby World Cup

Ok, the Rugby World Cup kicks off today and I’m not embarrassed to say that I am stoked. There are days when nerding it up has to take a back seat to some good, old-fashioned patriotism and stamping on foreigners.

That said, here are some pictures of My Little Pony dolls hacked, slashed and grafted to resemble famous comic book and movie characters. Because, rugby or no rugby, it’s dangerous to go cold-nerd all at once.

Convulsing Devil-Child Swears Before a Bevy of Dancing Mormons That He Will Not Wet His Bed Tonight

What words can describe it? It’s like a miniature Meatloaf is channeling the spirit of Linda Blair during an epileptic seizure while a hunchback Jesus lopes across the playground at a Mormon primary school, trying to entice children into his Happy Van. 

All this from a band who recorded twenty-one studio albums and sold in the tens of millions. God bless you, The Kelly Family. 


(Thanks to my buddy, @mattcredible, for putting me onto this)

Giant Eagles a Threat to Scottish Children

I shit you not. This, apparently, is an actual concern.

Over a hundred years ago, the Giant Sea Eagles were hunted to extinction across Scotland. The reasons are still a little unclear, but we suspect it may have had something to do with how villagers prefer not to live in an area populated by eight-foot, bloodthirsty, coiled springs of razor wire, horror and death.

However, an attempt has been made to reintroduce the Sea Eagle to Scotland, a decision tantamount only to sitting down to tea with Sweeney Todd, grumbling over your five ‘o-clock stubble and then boasting about how delicious you are wrapped in pastry.

Marilyn Manson’s new Music Video, Directed by Shia LeOH MY GOD WHAT THE F@CK WAS THAT?! (Super-Duper NSFW!)

Marilyn Manson - Born Villain (Official Video)
Embedded after the jump

Seriously? It’s not that I have anything against pornography or violence – in fact, there isn’t a scenario I can imagine that wouldn’t be improved by the addition of boobs and a Colt snub-nose – but is there anyone else out there who thinks that the big M may have eventually taken his celluloid fetishes a little too far?

Find the F@cker that Filtched Your Phone

Getting your house broken into is one thing; security systems aside, there’s not really anything you can do about it. The South African adage long ago became, “If they want in, they’ll get in,” – an unfortunate truism in our country. Getting your pocket picked, however, is just friggin embarrassing. Know that some bottom-dwelling, greasy-palmed, purse plucker had his or her hand in your pocket, fiddling around scant inches from your happy place, is borderline insulting. If someone’s diving wrist-deep into your crotch-pocket, fishing for a pay-off, the least they could offer is a gratitude tickle.

For you Smart phone owners out there, however, there’s some good news. It seems that there are several ways to track you phone after it’s been nabbed.

Scooby Do-Me Dong

What better a way to end off the week than with the defilement of our most pleasant, childhood memories?

Steve Jobs Retires Fro… oh wait, I don’t give a crap

So Steve Jobs has retired. Whoop-di friggin doo. It’s not like this comes as a surprise to anyone. The guy’s received more health warnings than a BAT rep. The simple fact that he’s remained alive this far, let alone running one of the most successful companies of all time, is testament to the awesome power of the iHeart happily thumping along inside his chest cavity.

‘Aliens are Dicks’ and Other Short Stories by NASA

Well, it’s official; since the cancelation of the NASA astronaut program a month or so back, NASA scientists have now run out of things to do. They went and scienced up all their science.

Honestly, though, what’s a professional space geek supposed to do if we’re not sending anyone to space anymore? We’re talking about the sort of person whose alternative route of study was a doctorate in Firefly fan-fiction. Luckily, however, as history has and will continue to prove time and time again, there is nothing that six straight weeks of SG:1 re-runs can’t cure.

Californians Whine That Their Weed Isn’t Green Enough

Californian citizens are concerned that they can’t buy certified, ‘Green’ marijuana.

Californian citizens are fucking idiots.

I apologise to any Californians reading this, but are we really having this debate? Are people honestly whinging over how ‘green’ their marijuana supply is? News flash: bitching about the possibility of insecticide in your stash is like complaining to the manager of your local black-market organ roadhouse that there are too many mercury sprinkles on your cancer fries. It’s like hiring Bree Olson to babysit your teenage son because you don’t want him staying up too late watching porn.

Blood, Boobs and Zombie Sparkles – Lollipop Chainsaw Game Trailer

Sure, it’s a gag, but it’s a good gag. I sat through ninety mesmerizing minutes of Zombie Strippers and, damnit, I’ll play this game!

For one, it is the brain child of James Gunn, the mad genius who bought us SUPER and some of Holywood’s more recent, brain and stomach churning horrors such as Dawn of the Dead, Slither and Scooby-Doo (1 and 2. Shudder).

For two, it’s about a chainsaw-wielding cheerleader hacking a bloody, glitter-popping swath through hordes of teenaged undead! How does that not give you a semi?
