It’s always nice to go check the weather and be greeted with a headline like Train vs. Tornado: See what wins. Almost exactly as awesome as a flaming bus ramp.
A tornado, as you recall if you’ve ever been in the Midwest between April and July, sounds just like a freight train. Wonder if the engineer even knew it was coming?
By the way - did you guys hear that Michael Jackson died? Weird, right?
Hi everyone. Ready for something new, followed by a few weeks of silence? I thought so.
Once again we turn to reader Jennifer W., who once again sent in a gem of an ad:
Note: I didn’t make that clickable, because if you actually want a flag shirt, I feel like you should have to type in a URL. It will help you think just a bit harder about what you’re doing.

‘Cause, you know, I’ll wanna be prepared.
"It'll be all right, baby."

PK24 sent The Gazette a press release about their cream for rejuvenating your hoo-ha. I believe this is the first place we’ve used it.
During his routine scan for new products from the Netherlands, faithful reader Andy W. found this road kill carpet.
…and from Jennifer W., the Barack Obama Hand Fan, which the site describes as a “great advertising tool for funeral homes.” Because what better way to calm a grieving widow than with a reassuring photo of the coolest president ever?

Evidently some Arizona cable subscribers had a portion of the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl preempted by some s00per pr0n. Quoth the BBC story, which proves once again that everything sounds funnier in British:
