Kinect Star Wars’ “I’m Han Solo” Dance Showcases Its Total Absurdity

by Eric Limer | 4:14 pm, April 2nd

Ever since it was announced that Kinect Star Wars would have a Galactic Dance Off mode, there’s been a certain amount of anticipation as to what exactly it would be like. That is to say, how bad would it be, and what particular flavor of bad. We got a few tastes that gave us a general idea what it would be like but now I’m happy to present “I’m Han Solo,” a Kinect Star Wars dance in its hilarious entirety. If you find yourself rapidly snapping back and forth between feelings that it is the best thing and feelings that is is the worst thing, have no fear; it’s only natural.

Terrifying Star Wars Babies Make Ewoks Seem Beautiful

by Max Eddy | 3:10 pm, March 4th

This promotional art for the new Star Wars line of Adidas shoes has, I believe, crossed the final threshold for Star Wars related ephemera. There is nothing left to do to the franchise. These smiling, terrifying, gladfaced baby-things created by Dorothy Tang can never be topped in terms of the uncomfortable delight they bring.

We have finally arrived at the Star Wars franchise-aping singularity.

Fake College Clones Real College’s Website, Scams Students Out of Application Fees

by Robert Quigley | 9:34 am, February 28th

Starting a new university might seem like a huge endeavor: You need to gather many millions of dollars, hire a qualified faculty, find and pay for a campus, and set up an infrastructure capable of serving the needs of thousands of students. But a “school” called University of Redwood found a much simpler way to come into being: Copy every photo and bit of information about Reed College, a (real) liberal arts school in Oregon, replace Reed’s name with its own, and watch the application fees roll in.

The apparent point of this whole endeavor, according to the Wall Street Journal, is to convince overseas students who are less familiar with American colleges to apply. When they apply, they pay a fee; then, the school sends rejection letters to every applicant and pockets the fees. It’s a lot cheaper than hiring professors.

More Dead Birds Fall from the Sky in Louisiana

by Robert Quigley | 1:58 pm, January 4th

The mystery deepens: Days after 100,000 dead fish and 5,000 dead birds were found in Arkansas — eyewitnesses saw more than 1,000 drop dead on New Year’s Eve — roughly 500 blackbirds were found dead on a highway in Louisiana.

Christian Science Monitor:

Americans have theorized that everything from fallout from secret government weapons testing to UFO collisions downed the birds in Arkansas. But the newly-discovered bird rain in Louisiana is likely to focus more serious attention to the plight of blackbirds now bundled in winter flocks that can number over 100,000 birds.

Postmortem tests of birds in the Arkansas incident showed evidence of blunt force trauma to many of the victims, which Mr. Butcher says means that it’s likely the birds were spooked by New Year’s Eve fireworks and may, in mass confusion, have run into cars and houses.

Oddly enough, no one in Arkansas or Louisiana blacked out and had a two-minute-and-seventeen-second vision of their future either time the birds fell from the sky.
