McSweeney’s has released a short film inspired by Art Spiegelman’s newest collection of comics, BE A NOSE! This is the first time in history Spiegelman has been animated. Father of the beloved Garbage Pail Kids and a Pulitzer-prize winner, Spiegelman’s recent Heeb interview sheds light on the master in his studio.

In an effort to reach out to every last Jewish person in America, the _Heeb_ Hundred is making a trek to the powdery mountaintops of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where a bustling community of three Jews live among the throngs of Gore-tex -clad ski bunnies and sun-charred ski instructors. The _Heeb_ Hundred photography exhibit is making...

In conjunction with his latest movie, Steve Martin has released an original bluegrass album titled, "The Crow: New Songs for the Five-String Banjo." I am generally opposed to any actor crossing over into musical career, but there is something very endearing about this project. I would like to believe this is his apology for the...

Microsoft’s Songsmith program was created to score songs to match your voice. There are many, many, many levels of wrongdoing going on in this B.I.G. songsmith’d video. Does Bill Gates even pay attention to what his company makes anymore? Then again, this is the same guy who unleashed a swarm of mosquitoes at the TED...

For those that relished zines in their salad days, Trinie Dalton has produced a tasteful collection of mythical miscellany. MYTHTYM compiles the best work from her previous zines on Werewolves, mythical beings, and the natural world. But best of all, this volume includes an entirely new, 100-page body of work on the theme of mirrors....

It looks like...

Senator Boehner, House Minority Leader, suggests that we throw Gitmo detainees into San Francisco’s national park, Alcatraz. According to Senator Boeher, "If liberals believe they ought to go, maybe we ought to open Alcatraz." And with that, the GOP has finally gone bananas.

This is probably my favorite internet game ever made. FRUIT MYSTERY will likely cause the player to have epileptic glory spins, but it’s probably worth it. (Thanks to Goodjobbbbbbb)

The US Army recently sent out oh, 7,000 letters to families that lost a daughter or a son in Iraq beginning the note with, "Dear John Doe." This wildly insensitive fuck-up is infuriating. Who can we blame for this? These marvels.

Guess what: love lasts forever. Nevermind the katrillion divorces that occurred in the last two seconds and forget the trillion breakups that you’ve been through just this month. Stony Brook University says it is out there and although the findings seem totally inconclusive, I’ma gonna believe it. I’m also buying tickets to Bride Wars on...

Some supernerd hacked into the most boring of social networking tools, Twitter and made a funny. Cnet news reports that Rick Sanchez, honest newsman, got cyberpunk’d by a hacker. Oh noes! The popular anchorman isn’t "high on crack," as his twitter nefariously suggested today. But guess who has just as many Twitter followers and isn’t...
