It is human instinct to try and survive anything, from nuclear holocausts and planet-killing asteroids, to killer viruses and zombies. However, if we try to brush all our fears aside for a minutes and analyze what’s in store for us in the aftermath of the apocalypse, we’d probably be holding an end of the world party right where Ground Zero would be, and get vaporized in an instant and in the process be spared from the following:
1. The Smell
Unless the disaster that will end our world is a huge solar flare …

It’s official. Michael Bay is this generation’s Ed Wood. The only difference between the two is that the former has an astronomically bigger budget to make bad movies with, and sadly, an astronomically bigger gross at the box office, thanks to suckers like us.
There are just too many things wrong with Transformers: Dark of the Moon that they can actually be desensitizing, especially when the entire Internet is filled with nothing but loathing for it. So, for the sake of positivity, which my shrink says I need loads of, I’m listing the things that I actually DID LIKE about the movie, terrible filmmaking notwithstanding.
For those fortunate enough not to have seen the latest (and thankfully, THE LAST) Transformers movie yet but are still planning to go, some SPOILERS AHEAD.
1. Alan Tudyk
Sci-fi TV and Joss Whedon fave Tudyk plays John Turturro’s effete assistant Dutch, who for the briefest of moments channels his character Alpha from the now-cancelled series Dollhouse and transforms into a badass.

One really good thing about watching NBA, NFL and MLB games live is that you can get that close not only to the sports action, but to another kind of action as well: the dancing girls. Yes, cheerleaders have become as indispensable in professional sports as the players themselves. Without them, every single professional sports game would be nothing more than a sausagefest, and the guys, which make up the bulk of professional sports fans, wouldn’t like that very much, would they?
Almost every single pro sports team has its own group of cheerleaders. Over the years, a number of its …

There is no doubt that LeBron James is the most hated man in basketball today. Practically everyone outside Miami rooted for the eventual champions, the Dallas Mavericks. Not because they’re Mavs fans, but because they all want to see LeBron fail, and fail he did, in pathetic fashion no less. He remains ringless after eight seasons in the league.
But I still believe James will get his rings. At 26, he still has a dozen or so years’ worth of shots at the Larry O’Brien trophy. However, James needs more than just pure talent to win. He needs all the positive vibes he can get, and he won’t be getting any of that anytime soon, what with more than half the world wanting him to lose. Whether LeBron admits it or not, his performance has been affected by all the hate, that he actually wants to be liked. Here are some of the things he can do to actually get there.

We all know Jesus rose from the dead. Does that make him a zombie then? Blasphemous as it is to ask that question, that’s an idea the tattoo artists who designed the body art below are trying to convey.
It’s Holy Week and for Christians, it’s supposed to be time for some self-reflection and asking for forgiveness, but for the tattoo artists, those who wear these zombie Jesus tattoos, and this writer, it’ll probably take more than just one week of atonement to be forgiven for this.
To be perfectly honest, there are even worse Jesus tattoos out there. Posting them here would probably earn me a one-way ticket to someplace a lot warmer, thank you, so I decided not to. Posting pictures of zombie Jesus tattoos below is already worth a trip to Purgatory, which probably isn’t so bad.
Luckily for these people and I, Christians today aren’t as bloodthirsty as those from five hundred or so years ago. Or we would have known the joy of being hung upside down and vertically sawed in half from the crotch up.

Love is in the air on Valentine’s Day, or so the cliché goes. But for the victims of the crimes listed below, it’s death that permeated the atmosphere on that very “special” day. They ended up dying violent deaths just like the saint it was named for, who was first beaten with clubs and stones, then beheaded.
It’s understandable that some people don’t think much of Valentine’s Day, but this is just too much.
1. St. Valentine’s Day Massacre
“Mob” is often synonymous with “murder”, and that has been proven so especially true in this case. On Valentine’s Day of 1929, seven sharply-dressed men were lined up against a wall of the S.M.C Cartage Co. garage and were shot dead execution-style. These men, with the exception of one, were all working under “Bugs” Moran, notorious gangster and bootlegger. They were all likely murdered by men working for Al Capone, Moran’s bitter rival gang lord.

Ask any woman you know which type of crime they fear most would be committed against them, and the answer will always be rape. Rape, after all, is one of the most, if not the most painful crime a human being can ever commit against another human being. It is not just a one-time crime that ends the moment the act is over. The actual act is only the beginning, with the victim later suffering years, if not a lifetime, of self-loathing, trauma, and in some cases, scorn from other people. And it greatly affects the lives not only of the victim, but of their families and loved ones as well.
History has proven that just about anyone can be a rapist. The news is often replete with stories of fathers raping their daughters, friendly neighbors brutally attacking the girl next door, etc. In the same vein, anyone can also become a victim. Just like these murdered celebrities, these famous women are a testament that heinous crimes can happen to just about anyone.
1. Billie Holiday
One of the most influential jazz artists of all time, Billie Holiday was molested at the age of 10. A few years later, she was raped by a neighbor named Wilbert Rich, who was caught in the act by the singer’s mother. The rapist was thrown in jail, but only spent three months there.

We understand it’s perfectly natural and common for a non-native speaker of a language, in this case English, to make mistakes in its usage. But the really bad English signs pictured below are just so hilarious we can’t help but laugh at the people who wrote them. Whoever made these have mangled the English language so badly they’ve become utterly useless signs, because they’re just indecipherable to anyone who doesn’t speak the local language and knows only English. But they are funny signs nevertheless, so here’s hoping they’re still in place to baffle and amuse tourists for a …
