From the folks who brought you Sketchy Santas (a Catch of the Day in December 2009) comes easter bunnies will steal your soul. Medieval German folk custom or Mortal Terror? User submitted photos of anthropomorphic lagomorphs provide the evidence. I did notice somebody snuck in a screen grab of Frank from Donnie Darko.

Better Call Saul

By Scott Langill

E-cards to send your lawyer friends

The best viral marketing looks and sounds real, but reads like a parody. And why do I get the feeling that Saul Goodman is positioning himself for a spinoff? Former emmy-winning SNL writer Bob Odenkirk appeared in four episodes of AMC’s emmy-winning “Breaking Bad” last year. The first, “Better Call Saul” is also the title of this website which has testimonials, consultation videos, an office webcam, and e-cards. With a quick online search for “Better Call Saul”, Saul devotees can also find lots of (presumably unlicensed) tee shirts and coffee mugs. Now if Edward Ben Elson had only lived long enough to have a website…

The Darwin Awards team is proud to announce the late, the great, the 2009 Darwin Award Winners! Well there is no team per se. The Awards began circulating in the mid-1980s as e-mails and Usenet group discussions. There were several websites that recorded “Darwin Awards” starting in the mid-1990s, the survivor and authoritative one is darwinawards.com. There are five requirements for there Darwin Awards: Inability to reproduce (nominee must be dead or rendered sterile), Excellence (in astoundingly stupid judgment), Self-selection (the candidate must have injured or killed themselves, rather than a third party), Maturity (capable of sound judgment), and Veracity (the event must be verified). As to the latter category, rejected or suspected stories appear in the urban legend or personal accounts sections of the Darwin Awards site.
