    The 6 Cutest Animals That Can Still Destroy You
    If animals could talk, they would spend most of their time calling us dicks and telling us to get off their land. The traits we think of as "cute" are often simply tricks animals have developed to get tourists to throw them food.

    Here are six animals that you'll probably want to steer clear of, no matter how adorable they look on that wall calendars.

    Blech, hate chimps. I don't understand why anybody thinks the primates are cute. They're hideous, disgusting creatures. Should've taken off those nasty little things and put up big kitties instead. How cute are tigers and pumas? Handlers have been mauled and their words as they're carried away are usually "don't hurt the cat." As it should be. Big kitties are proof that God is an artist and perfect.

    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
    [...] Blackman’s team had come up with the idea of making a game about “Darth Vader’s secret apprentice.”

    The core idea was to take the concept of the Force and supersize it in a way that would appeal both to Star Wars video-game fans, who at this point have played a number of LucasArts games that involve the use of Force powers, and to gamers who may not be Star Wars fans but will gravitate to a game that offers big-bang escapism. Blackman’s team also wanted to put the Force in the hands of a character who was not bound by the Jedi code, which, as the movies drive home, attaches all kinds of guilt and moralizing to letting one’s freak Force fly. Not only would the Apprentice be able to wreak havoc with the Force in the game LucasArts planned, but, Blackman says, there would be “no real penalty” for doing so; instead, gamers would be able to explore the pleasures of “kicking someone’s ass with the Force.” Unleashed Force wielders would now be able to dismantle buildings and, at the height of their powers, pluck an Imperial star destroyer—those massive triangular spacecraft that are the Empire’s equivalent of an aircraft carrier—out of the heavens and crash it onto a planet’s surface.

    If Banner Ads Were Forced To Be Truthful...
    Aren't banner ads awesome? Go ahead, click on a few over there. We'll wait.

    But, unfortunately, a few bad apples have given the industry a bad name by being just a little misleading in their promises that hot singles and easy money are just a click away. What would banner ads look like in a world where they were required to tell the honest truth? We offered a prize to whoever has the Photoshop skills to show us. The winner is below, but first, the runners-up:

    I thought the one for the suicide girls was particularly good.

    Pimp My Plate: The World's Most (Retardedly) Expensive 5 Course Meal
    Everyone knows the platitude "Money can't buy happiness" is just propaganda from the Jealous Poor People lobby, but there is a nugget of truth. Money may let you assemble the world-class feast described below, but it cannot make you realize what a world-class tool you are for buying it.

    Water in crystal bottles. Bird spit. Edible gold. Weasel shit.
