The Evolution of Comic Books – The Modern Fairy Tale?

Good day and salutations gentlemen! Today we shall be discussing an art form that has received new appreciation in recent years. An art form, that is a great fusion of story telling and design. An art form, once thought to be reserved for children. Ranging from the professionally produced graphic novels, to the free comic book at your local shop, today we recognize the modern fable. Please, bear with me as I attempt to wax philosophical.

As mentioned above, Comics have and still suffer from a stigma. One that relegates them to the realm of children, or individuals lacking in a certain level of maturity of personality and thought. It’s an easy assumption to make after all. Animation is generally reserved for

Smart Fortwo Eball – It’s Actually Car Pong

I’m a huge video gamer and not much of a gearhead, so when I found a video of two Smart Fortwos playing a made up game called Eball, I found it pretty damn hilarious when I realized it’s just real life car pong. The idea behind the publicity stunt is awesome: build a giant motion sensitive set of tracks, grab a couple of small cars, erect a giant screen, and let any idiot hop in and smash back and forth trying to control a video game. The reasoning, however, is hilariously stupid, and you don’t need to know cars to see that- obviously, car pong is going to teach you about how AWESOME the electric car is at accelerating. Really, watching tipsy Germans gun clown cars back and forth over a ten foot span is obviously proving how blindingly fast they can go. Yes, the video makes this look as simultaneously stupid and fun as this sounds. Watch after the jump.

Bitch Slap – Exploitation Film at its Most Confusing

woman grabbing another woman's breastsWhen we saw the trailer for this…. masterpiece, we wondered, “how the hell did we miss this movie?” Bitch Slap came out in 2009, was shown on only 3 screens, and faded relatively quickly into obscurity; this may have something to do with why it never made our radar. We stumbled across this bizarre-yet-sexy grindhouse style flick when looking for scantily clad women online important bacon documents online. Usually exploitation movies are set in glorious bygone decades, but this movie is very much up to date, and manages to work a number of modern locales and references (please note that this still doesn’t improve nor clarify the movie in any way.) I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s a good movie, but it’s hilariously great-bad in its own right. The plot vaguely rotates around diamonds in the desert and Kevin Sorbo and sex nuns and the circus and razor yo-yos and a lot of random sword fights and the world ending. If nothing else, put it on mute and enjoy the comically hot protagonists gratuitously digging holes, scissoring, splashing in the water, feeling each other up, and running through explosions in various states of undress.
