Kennedy Assassination: The Game

What better way to commemorate the 48th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination than an 8-bit recreation of of Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald? Yeah, take that Stephen King. (Iotacons by Andy Rash)

Just realized it was Presidents Day in the U.S. Meanwhile here in Canada (well, some parts) it was Family Day. That really tells you most of what you need to know about the differences between Americans and Canadians. So in honour (with a U) of the day, I present you Abraham Lincoln as King of the Cage, by Brandon Bird, who is knocking out high prices by putting anything featuring one of history’s great leaders on sale.

These Pez dispensers are clearly not child friendly, especially the JFK dispenser. I love the George H. Bush dispenser though I'm sure the Japanese Prime Minister didn't find it as cute. (Pezidents Of The United States by Hillary White at Threadless)

Jackie Kennedy Is Out For Revenge in... Kill Oswald

Ask not what your woman can do for you, but what your woman will do to them. This is totally the movie that Oliver Stone should have made.

From pop artist Nik Holmes, who I came across yesterday when I found Granny Grimm's Book of Ghoulish Grammar.

Huh. Racer X, young Bob Dylan, young Jerry Garcia, Peter Lorre, Dwight Shrute from the Office and a dishonest Abe Lincoln playing a game of poker, from a commission by pop artist Dave Perillo. I have no idea why and he doesn't explain, but no matter as I love the style. But if you care to speculate of the connections...

It's time for a little Manifest Destiny. Abraham Lincoln as The Thing, George Washington as Mr. Fantastic, Teddy Roosevelt as The Human Torch and Thomas Jefferson as The Invisible Man.

It's funny, I was rolling through my favourite sites when I came across this and I wanted to find out who drew it. After a little searching it turns out it was Dean Fraser of Springfield Punx but from a couple of years ago. Ain't the internet a small place? (Link via Unreality)

Video trailers for books are odd things as they just make me want to see them as a film, not dive into some pages. And Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter all the more so, as I can't imagine ever reading it, except maybe in comic book form.

That being said, the idea of the 16th President of the United States of America as a slayer is pretty funny. I can't wait for some kid to include this bit of alt-history in an essay. (Link via The Zeray Gazette)
