Can you get more iconic than this? I would have loved to be at this meeting. Where do you think that took place…Vegas or the Death Star? Looks almost like it was some sort of intergalactic headquarters or something.
A lot of CEOs of public companies now-a-days are opting for just $1 as their salary for the year. Obviously they are getting other perks and receiving stock…but nonetheless they’re still only getting one Washington as “pay”. Ever wonder about all that, well here ya go.

What should one do with a beautiful $500k machine? Well the last thing would be to wreck it. I feel really hirrible for this driver but the good thing is that he’s okay. That’s always the good thing…but it still sucks that a wonderful piece of equipment is now more useless than my college dorm microwave.
If you were like me growing up you certainly had your fair share or Tyco and Nikko R/C cars. I think my favorite was Ricochet..but there really wasn’t a bad one in my opinion. These guys have taken racing them to a whole new level. They are experts at drifting and driving ‘em like Vin Diesel. I wish I was this badass.
Most all of you youngsters grew up loving and playing Mario Kart on your SNES. This was the best game in my opinion, to play at a party or with a large group. Who didn’t love throwing bananas or red turtle shells at their opponets. But wouldn’t it be even more awesome if you could do this out on the real roads and not just from the comfort of your Chesterfield? Well check out this awesome video from Remi Gaillard in which he does exactly that.
During World War II the servicemen suffered quite a bit from the dangers of unprotected sex. In response the U.S. government commissioned this wonderfully horrific set of posters. Meant to scare the soldiers straight with such taglines as “Men who know…say no to prostitutes” and “A minute with Venus. A year with Mercury!”
Brilliant, pure genius. I know these “propaganda” posters would make be think twice before bunking up with the local floozie. I think the current government should re-release a campaign like this. How fun would that be to see these littering the walls of the subway. In my opinion advertising and messages have become more politically correct without good reason. If a message communicates then it communicates…you might as well be upfront about it. Either way…I find these to be terrifying and hilarious at the same time.
I hate to say it, but sometimes I wish those rumors about certain celebrities and their demise were real. Turns out that a lot of them have just been hoaxes. Like the one about the Subway Guy (Jared) and his failed gastric bypass surgery. Or the one about Oprah. Which ones have you heard about and later found out were false?
To hear all about the whole online celebrity hoax scheme, check out this new (and hilarious) series from Fork Party, What The Fork? starring the one and only Andy Green.
This compilation of every single at home gaming console ever is awesome. If you were like me growing up you had quite a few of these. Who doesn’t remember Christmas of 1990 opening up a beautiful, brand new Super NES? Man, these bring back such good memories. I even loved some of the crappier ones, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, Jaguar, and even VirtuaBoy (actually I loved Mario’s Virtua Tennis).
So, which ones did you have? And are there any missing from this list?
