Whew. I can rest easy knowing I will live a long life like 91 year old Ernest Borgnine.
Many of you may heard of Will Wright’s upcoming “revolutionary” game, Spore.
Some of you may know that EA is selling the “Creature Creator” portion of the game later this week (for $9.95) so people can get a head start on making their own creatures for the game.
A few of you may have even downloaded the leaked demo of said Creature Creator which has 25% of the body parts for you to play with.
But I guarantee that none of you are prepared to view the creation in the video above. It scoffs at all of the amateurs who hastily created penis or even goatse creatures as their first creations. Instead, it serves as the torchbearer for what the human spirit can accomplish on the internet.

I don’t know how I missed this earlier this week, but Fox News anchor, E.D. Hill, calling Barack and Michelle Obama doing a fist bump, a “Terrorist Fist-Jab” is definitely one of the pottiest things I’ve heard all year.
Sadly, Ms. Hill has lost her show. On the bright side, she’s coined a catchphrase that will surely linger on the interwebs for years to come.
This is awesome.

I wouldn’t be the first one in line to join a social network for either chess or The Wu-Tang clan, but shit, if you combine the two? I’m there. Especially when the tag line for the site is:
WuChess taking the game of life to the next level.
Wuchess promises the ability to play live chess versus humans or an AI, partcipate in tournaments, social networking, create chess clans, or even play against the RZA, the GZA, and the rest of the Wu-Tang clan.
Unfortunately, this fun is going to cost you $40 up front per year to join. I really wish they had a free portion of the site to try out as $40 is a pretty big investment to ask of new users without letting them test drive it.
Hopefully cooler heads will prevail and they’ll open up the site soon.

Although their new single Pork and Beans has been out for awhile now, Weezer has just put the finishing touches on the video for the song. It pretty much includes every internet meme over the past few years - kinda like that recent South Park episode.
I gotta say though, I was pretty impressed with the inclusion of the Gi-Joe PSAs - that definitely gives Rivers and Co. some intarweb street cred.
Maybe someone should set Akon and T-Pain up with the boys over at hellogoodbye for some conference call sass.
When I went to buy my $9 Upper Deck seats for a Dodgers game last night, I didn’t expect to pay $327.50 per ticket in “convenience charges” to Ticketmaster. I mean, sure, they routinely charge us almost 100% of ticket face values, but 3633% ? For cheap seats at a baseball game it seems just a tad excessive.
On the bright side, it looks like they comped the face value of the seats for me!
I gotta give this dude credit (click the pic to enlarge) - it takes some cojones to flagrantly take 2 vacation days from your company and make a Grand Theft Auto 4 reference as your reason.
So paroxym from Shacknews, we salute you! For being potty guy of the week!
