Remember
the original Nintendo, and the awe that came along with the release of Mario 3,
complete with the raccoon tail feature that enabled Mario to fly? Well even if
you don’t, video blogger Oliver does, and over at the Nerve Video Blog
you can get a flashback-taste
of that raccoon tail, along with a disturbing clip of Grand
Theft Auto IV, apparently, the new “raccoon tail” for children of today…
Meanwhile, Scanner Emily is
reminding us of yet another technological advancement that makes today’s
childhoods just a little more F’ed up than ours was: Facebook! How does
everyone feel about the new “people you might know” feature? Well Emily has an opinion,
and yes, it has everything to do with ex-boyfriend angst…
Also on Scanner: Group
French kissing: recipe for the Herp? Probably, but that didn’t stop this
chain of New Yorkers from trying to break the world record! Also, did you watch
TV last night? Hopefully you caught Scanner’s latest Crush
of The Week. Plus: Pedophile
beard; the ten weirdest pizza
toppings; and a man has been charged with having sex
with a table. We have so many questions about this…
Over at Screengrab,
it’s all gossip, gossip, gossip surrounding Oliver Stone’s developing biopic W. James Cromwell as George Bush Sr.?
Jeffrey Wright as Colin Powell? Maybe yes, maybe no- one thing we do know that
this little project is going to be one hell of a goodbye
present for good ol’ Dubya come January… Also: who knew April 1st
wasn’t just for
foolin’?; The
Top Bleakest Movie Endings; and, Tintin
Revealed (he’s a cutie)!
