"Usually Michele Bachmann does a pretty good job providing her own drama on the campaign trail, but yesterday she also got a little help from a gay robot. At a stop to greet supporters at the in Iowa City, a man dressed in a silver robot costume approached her and started shouting at her through a megaphone. It's hard to tell from the video exactly what he's yelling, but he was quoted as saying, I am a gay robot. I oppose Bachmann's position on gays, whether they are human or robot."

I just saw this video of large numbers North Koreans crying (or just pretending?) about Kim Jong-Il's death. If that doesn't meet the definition of "bizarre," I'm not sure what does.

Peter Parker is not amused.

Why not? Now he can have cousins!

The next TV movie from SyFy will be "Arachnoquake," in which a series of earthquakes will unleash giant, ancient, albino spiders on a rampage through New Orleans. No, really.

BRILLIANCE!

Echo Bridge: They're like TheAsylum, only with more originality.

I'm not sure whether or not to be proud or ashamed of the fact I am somewhat directly responsible for distributing Asylum's mockbuster movies to the Canadian market... I should probably feel a little of both. I have to admit, their new titles are the only shipment I actually get *excited* about receiving. Seeing what craziness they've unleashed next always brightens my day.

True. It helps that the woman in the habit is also quite cute. :-)

QFT, though I can't figure out why she's rocking the 'country-yokel-nun' look with that piece of corn. Is there another nun-model with a banjo and 2 remaining teeth?

Well, their paper does refer to "Cured salted pork crafted as a nasal tampon." So...yeah. It's a pig-flesh tampon that you stick up your nose. How could you possibly make a joke out of that?

Quote

Asked what he planned to do for the Latino community in light of the discrimination allegations, the mayor said, "I might have tacos when I go home, I'm not quite sure yet." That set off the activist group, a local branch of the Reform Immigration for America organization, which said that anytime someone texts the word "taco" to 69866, it will deliver a taco to the mayor on their behalf.

They've received more than 2,600 texts, the group said in a statement Thursday. "The mayor has shown a total lack of respect for the constituents he has been sworn to serve to the best of his ability," said Henry Fernandez, spokesman for the group. Maturo twice apologized for the comments, saying his words were largely a product of stress. Still, some 500 tacos were placed inside his office; the rest are already being rerouted to local food-assistance outlets.

Police could not speak about whether a theft had actually occurred. Fong acknowledged, however, that “it must have been good chicken.”

At least one wild bear has learned to use a legit tool.

Dear Seattle:
Thank you for acknowledging the greatness with is me.
I'm not sure what the rabbits have to do with it, but then I don't understand how radioactive flying reindeer fit in with a dead carpenter's birthday. In any case, you have my seal of approval and full endoresment.
Keep spreading the Bunnarchy. \m/

Not amusing (more like infuriating), but definitely bizarre: Arizona now has topped the Christian conservatives, who have always argued that human life begins at conception, by declaring that pregnancy begins before the sex.

Why there are still women within reproductive age living in that hellhole is beyond me. Must be a case of mass Stockholm syndrome or something...

That's insane. Obviously, life begins at birth... of the mother.
