Either this is a very well-conceived prank just in time for April Fools, or the most outta control video game I’ve seen in years, if not ever.
Japan has always been a bastion for odd games and products, but Super Pii Pii Brothers, a game where players strap a Wiimote to their crotch and attempt to [...]

“Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds” is a Great Way to Waste a Sunday
The Hot Shots Golf franchise keeps it real - real casual and goofy, that is. Often imitated and never duplicated (unless you consider Mario Golf an offshoot), the series’ thrives on its easy to learn, hard to master learning curve…and its endearingly annoying cast of characters.
I can stomach almost any twee, campy character in a [...]
Audio Historians Discover First Tune Ever Recorded, Dating Back to 1860
One of the most legit news stories this month has been all but ignored by most media sources, or at least pop culture.

Dita Von Teese’s Lesbian Porn Past Revealed
Pictures and video have surfaced online of burlesque babe (and current Wonderbra spokeswoman) Dita Von Teese starring in lesbian porn scenes, years before she was famous.

Days like today are rarer than hen’s teeth.
Attending her [...]
Don’t Cry For Me, Tijuana: Emo Wars in Mexico
If there’s one thing worse than misguided emo kids whining about the world, it’s ‘punk’ kids getting all aggro on them. Sure, in my utmost fantasies I pack all the crybabies into a stretch Chevy Astro Van, pop GWAR in the cassette player and drive it off a cliff - but in the real world [...]
Dr. Pepper to Axl Rose: Give Us “Democracy” and We Will Give Soda to All
In one of the most savvy marketing plans ever hatched, Dr. Pepper has promised a free can of soda to all Americans applicable (read: no soda for either of you, Slash and Buckethead) if Axl Rose releases Chinese Democracy before the end of 2008.
While I tip my cap to the brains over at Dr. Pepper, [...]

Lebron and Gisele’s Vogue Cover: Racist, or the Victim of a Really Slow News Day?
Rather than focusing on Lebron James being the first black man on the cover of Vogue (alongside supermodel Gisele Bundchen, no less), the blogosphere is aflame with criticism, stating the cover perpetuates racial stereotypes. And you know what, ladies and gentlemen? They’re right.
Yeah…it’s oh-so obvious that famed photographer Annie Leibovitz was going for that ‘black [...]
