While the younger one was distracted by the display of unlucky, previous visitors to his workshop, Santa grabbed the older one by the neck, and with a quick twist, neatly separated head from body. Another skillful twist —violent, yet efficient — removed the scalp. He handed over the still-smiling head to an elf for polishing and eventual mounting, while a hungry reindeer dragged off the body to the stable. When the younger one finally turned and noticed her sister was gone, she nodded knowingly and whispered, “It’s OK, Santa. She was pretty naughty this year.” [via blackandwtf]

These photos are just mind-blowing. So mind-blowing, in fact, that I’m not even going to write stupid captions for any of them. Captured Photo Collection » David Guttenfelder in Afghanistan Photos

Congrats to my pal Duncan on getting his suicidal pets into bookstores. Buy a copy, right now, and give a voice to the ridiculously dressed and voiceless. petswhowanttokillthemselves: It’s here! The War and Peace of cute suicidal pet books hit the shelves today to change the face of literature as we know it. I don’t want to brag, but it’s getting better reviews than the new Philip Roth. If you like pets, America, books or shit jokes, you owe it to yourself to buy a gazillion now. They make perfect stocking stuffers, wedding presents and projectiles. Support your local indie bookshop, unless it’s already gone out of business in which case order here.

On Singapore Air’s fleet of new Airbus A380s, the ultra-luxurious, enclosed first class cabins include Orinoco goose-down pillows, a chess set made of black market Ugandan ivory, and a middle-aged Norwegian couple who will bone at your command.

If You Build It As A Joke, Then Neglect It For Months On End Because You've Pretty Much Forgotten It Exists, They Will Come

Hi

I’m just writing to let you know about a new feature we wrote over here at The Pet Gazette that I thought might interest your readers at Cats in Sunglasses. It is titled “Top 10 Celebrity Pets: Famous Cats & Dogs” and we’re really excited to see what kind of response it is going to receive. If you have any feedback, please feel free to contact me. — http://onlineveterinarytechnicianschools.com/2009/top-10-celebrity-pets-famous-cats-and-dogs/

Thanks,

The Pet Gazette

Obligatory Post About The Tumblr Proposal

I don’t know if it was romantic or not, but it did inspire me to buy a new Flip Mino HD camcorder. That’s what it was for, right? I’m find the branding message a little hard to discern.

The ghost of Michael Jackson has found its final resting place, in this stunning painting. $20 brings the King of Pop home to you. You really can’t afford not to buy it. Regretsy – Why? No. Nah.
