In a summer season crowded with super heroes and big-budget blow 'em ups, how does a long-lost franchise break through the marketing clutter? No, not Indiana Jones — is there anyone who doesn't know that's coming out? (Plus it has a Cannes premiere, for whatever reason.) And I'm not talking about Sex and City, which has every media outlet indulging in all the fashion and relationship brouhaha that swirls around it.Labels: aliens, conspiracy theories, movies, religion, X-Files

Oh Billy, you were always a little glam. From Soulkombinat.
Sticky Fingers indeed. If the zipper had been down on that Stones album, I might be wondering where this was going. From Mateo329.
This one is so close that you can barely tell that there is an album in the picture. And who knew Iggy Pop could look so nice? From Tsjeu.
Love the Yo-Yo. Do you think Yusuf Islam still plays with Yo-Yos? That third hand is a little disconcerting. From Lynnifer.
You just know the hole in the ozone came from Babs using cans and cans of this stuff in the '70s. From delainey.
I really think Robert Palmer should keep his clothes on. It's just not the same without the suit. From rensenbrink78.
Nothing much to add here — just impressed with the integration of two people into the sleeveface. From carla_mabel.
No, Mr. Kristofferson, not the beard! Another from Soulkombinat.
The Man in Black has a gigantic noggin. A syringe too, but we knew that. From Professional Recreationalist.
Ah, Tina Turner's legs. Good enough. From See Gee.
Bonus sleeveface with Johnny Paycheck. I couldn't resist, he's drinking a 50! From Matt Wagner.Labels: albums, art, mashups, music, sleevefacing

Ever wonder where old cereal mascots go once they are no longer in demand? Of course you do. Seems they don't disappear, but slowly fade away in the wood-paneled, shag-carpeted rec room of artist Rob Sheridan's mind.Labels: Cap'n Crunch, cereal mascots, Count Chocula, Franken Berry, Tony the Tiger, Trix Rabbit
And none of them look the same. I've been slumming around the house sick for the past three days and took it upon myself to get craft, but in a pop culture way of course.

Seeing cartoons characters as they would like in real life is, well, disturbing. This photo-realistic Homer Simpson is from jaxpixeloo, and I would run in terror from him if I were to see him on the street.
Good news, everybody! A realistic version of a few of the Futurama cast, from Dylan Marvin. I think the year 3000 would be... all glory to the Hypnotoad.
A realistic Wile E. Coyote (Road-Runnerus Digestus) and Roadrunner (Accelleratti Incredibusc) wouldn't be so bad, but the Acme products would be devastating. From an old Fark contest, where there are many other examples.
Michael Paulus also takes the concept of real cartoons but approaches it from a whole other angle and showing the skeletal system of 22 different characters. Wonderfully odd.Labels: cartoons, Charlie Brown, Futurama, Roadrunner, The Simpsons
Another cool piece of typography, which appears to be a fascination of mine these days. I love seeing what can be done with words and am jealous as I wouldn't be able to do it myself.Labels: movies, spoilers, t-shirt, typography

After discovering that Cracked had revived themselves as a generally amusing online site, I wondered if MAD had joined the online world. Not so much, it seems.

Are farts funny? Canadians once seemed to think so and the country's finest contribution to flatulence is the invention of the whoopee cushion.Labels: Canuck, farts, South Park, whoopee cushion
Who would have thought the original cast of Star Trek would turn out to be such a musical bunch? Likely no one, after the spoken-word stylings of William Shatner and the unintentionally hilarious Leonard Nimoy.Labels: Leonard Nimoy, Star Trek, William Shatner, YouTube

In the harshest place on Earth, the 30-Second Bunnies find a way. It's been awhile since I've linked to my furry little friends, but their mini-version of the March of the Penguins did the trick. Somehow the travails of the little suckers seemed a lot less grim and austere when whole cycle whips by in a blink of an eye. Be sure to indulge in the whole archive over at Angry Alien. Coming up later this year: Goodfellas. I can hardly wait — it should get a full minute.Labels: 30-Second Bunnies, March of the Penguins, penguins
