Arnold The football-headed star of the show grew up in a boarding house run by his grandparents. With the cast of characters that came through the house, Arnold really wore that instability on his face, and continues to do so to this day. Helga Helga Pataki carried the effects of her long-held but never-realized crush on Arnold throughout her life. The constant…

Every day we’re exposed to ads from savvy marketers looking to draw us to brands in any way possible. While celebrities, sex appeal and humor are common tools of advertising, they aren’t the only ones used to target us. Let’s take a look at some particularly crafty, and sneaky, gimmicks that are easy to miss. 1) Fed Ex This classic example utilizes white space in a novel way to hammer home its message. Look between the “E” and the “x.” See the arrow? This clever choice reminds the consumer that Fed Ex is fast and always on the go! 2)…

Bronson Robot Butt is two years young, and what a two years it’s been. My favorite memory this year has got to be when Variety sourced us as the ones to first break the news of Chris Rock hosting the Oscars.

I have to prove to you that I deserve you back, so that’s what I’m going to do. I’m sorry for a lot of things – the sink handles, the kitchen cupboard, and obviously the nightstand – and it’s my plan to make things right. Step 1: Buy you a new nightstand. This one is self-explanatory. Step 2: Offer to watch Love Actually with you. I saw…

Long hailed as one of the Beatles’ and pop music’s greatest songs, fans are often surprised to learn the tune also claims the record for highest number of successful false advertisement lawsuits. In fact, more than six million separate lawsuits have been successfully brought against the song’s rights-holders by lonely, desperate men who believed “she” had in fact loved them. Many plaintiffs have stated the lyrics “It’s you she’s thinking of” and “you know you should be glad” were particularly egregious.

If I were at a library computer right now, I’d be looking over my shoulder constantly, wondering how the adult content filters didn’t catch the obscenity of that frothy mix being stroked into the bucket. Look, I know this is supposed to be a picture of someone milking a cow. But could you in good conscience show this image to a child? I’ve always heard that Asian porn is bizarre. Is this what people are talking about? Is this Asian porn? I mean…how…
