Dumpster-Diving Townies Menace Princetonians
Princeton was on lock down because somebody saw somebody walking around with a gun! But now the "all clear" has gone out. It was just drunk dumpster-diving townies threatening the Ivy Leaguers with a squirt gun, as usual: More »

American Girl Doll Is Anarcho-Hippie Terrorista!
When the American Girl corporation had to pick a name for its new Jewish Girl doll, they went with: "The name of an Earth Liberation Front enviro-terrorist arsonist wanted by the FBI." Hey, that's racist. More »

Only Toy Collectors Looking Forward To New Star Wars Movie
Nerds may be polishing up their plastic light sabers and dusting off their Darth Vader helmets in anticipation of the new, animated Star Wars movie The Clone Wars, set to open in August. But you know who's not awaiting the movie? Pepsi, Kellogg's, and and Burger King, traditional Star Wars sponsors! Why not? "A spokeswoman for Pepsi, meanwhile, was unaware that a new 'Star Wars' movie was being released." Ha, this flick has BIG BUZZ going for it. Luckily for nerds, McDonald's and Toys "R" Us have stepped in to fill the void with all types of action figures fit for stockpiling by grown men. But it's never a good sign when key parts of corporate America don't even know your movie exists. Prediction: a big, animated suckfest. Still, fans are planning to line up at Toys "R" Us just for the release of the toys. Let's hope that Triumph the Insult Comic Dog makes it out to that one: More »

I Want It! I Want It! I Want It!
They're selling life-sized repilca Cyclons just like the ones in Battlestar Galactica! "You can get one from either the dopey original series or the cool new one. These Cylons [sic] are seven feet tall, weight 300 pounds, have little LED lighting effects in their visors - and sell for a cool $7,900. (That's, like, $8,000 minus the $100 Hopeless-Nerd Rebate.)" Um, anyone got $7,900 handy? Pay you back, I promise! [InsideSoCal] -

Black Guys No Longer Considered A Plague
Hey, remember that "Black guy as the plague of darkness" Jewish children's finger puppet set that you derived so much racial and religious amusement from last week? Well Jewishstore.com must have gotten the mild whiff of bad publicity that its crazy puppet was generating, because the black man of darkness has now been magically replaced by a far more vague representation of said plague! Before and after photos of the educational puppet array, below. More »

Black Guys, The Forgotten Plague
How to teach young children about the ten Biblical plagues in an easygoing, child-friendly manner? It's a question that probably troubled the prophets themselves. JewishStore.com has the answer: plague-themed finger puppets, ready for all your children's Passover needs. Friendly, smiling locusts, frogs, lice—they're all there! And then they have the plague of darkness, played by, um, a black guy? Oh. Well. Perhaps it's not the perfect solution for your kids after all. Yikes. Larger picture below. More »

Transformers Toys For Tots: Bumblebee's A Camaro That Likes To "Whip It" To Devo
In the cesspool of cross-promotions that is Hollywood, we can't think of any marketing opportunity less synergistic than the following combination: the Transformers live-action movie, Hasbro's Camaro-all-transformed "Transformers Movie Ultimate Bumblebee" figurine and Devo's "Whip It." But maybe that's just us. [Jalopnik] -
