Given the pronunciation similarity in sound between the name of New Jersey’s “Hoboken” and Ryu’s infamous catch phrase “hadouken,” I’m surprised someone didn’t do this sooner. This photo is a the sign for Interstate 76 East, and that combo is for Ryu’s fireball. Capcom should seriously look into the marketing possibilities.

Plush Facehugger

Seriously, people. Your fandom has gone to far when it becomes a choking hazard for your infant. (No matter how cute the resulting photo is.)

Hello with Cheese

This is far and away the best take on the Superbowl that I’ve seen. The title of the panel is “Lord of the Super Bowl Rings.”

Lost Meme


I whipped this up on Photoshop after watching the season premiere a second time this weekend. Does anyone else get the feeling that J.J. Abrams has just built too much expectation into this season for anything to possibly fullfill? I have an idea that the season finale is going to be the center of internet ridicule for years to come.

Comcast Program Description

Do you ever get the feeling that someone over at Comcast just isn’t putting in their best effort? On the other hand, maybe this is just a subtle effort to drive viewers to the Pay-per-View channels.
