Celebrity-Look Alike Sex Toys-Pornographic Parody or Vulgar Violation?

In Pop Culture by Heidi Nyburg on Monday, June 9, 2008
.!.

While perusing gag gifts for a friend’s bachelorette party, we came across this inflatable doll that doesn’t just vaguely resemble Eva Langoria’s character on Desperate Housewives, it’s practically her twin. Immediately we began to wonder how many other celebrity “inspired” toys are out there and if there were more, who were they? Well, we found several and we’re not talking about the latest Jenna Jameson doll or Ron Jeremy shaped implement, we’re talking about non-porn industry celebrities being used as inspiration for sex toys. None of the toys we came across were the least bit subtle and some were more disturbing than others. Case in point- the Lindsay doll is clearly an imitation of Lindsay Lohan in Herbie Rides again, which is pretty sick since she was maybe fifteen years old in that role. Ew. What do you think? Hilarious or ho-rrific? Pun totally intended.

This chick looks more like Top Model winner Jasleen than JLo, but it’s clear who they are trying to sell here.

At least the “Lindsay” on the box is clearly of age.

Some of the inspirations were less surprising than others.

Top Ten Fabulously Quirky Flickr Groups

In Pop Culture by Heidi Nyburg on Sunday, May 18, 2008

Forget poignant shots of the green flash at sunset or uber macro shots of winged bugs perched on flowers, let’s talk about photos of crap that only very specific groups of people want to see. You know, photos of doll heads strapped to the grills of semi trucks or stuffed animals dining in restaurants- which by the way, totally attracts boat loads of customers. Who knows what your particular photo fetish is, maybe you’ll finally find a group of photogs who will appreciate your artistic series entitled “Gnomes at Concerts.” Or perhaps you’re just looking for a group of pals who appreciate tin foil hats as much as you do. Whatever your fancy, you are certain to find a group that suits your quirky method of photographic expression in our list of Top Ten Fabulously Quirky Flickr Groups alternately titled “See, You’re Not That Weird After All.” On with the list!

#10- Tin Foil Hats: You loved ‘em when you were 3 and now you’ve got the $1800 digital SLR to prove it! Get out the Reynolds Wrap and fashion a fancy foil fedora for yourself or for your cat. Ok, now work it!

#8 Stuffed Animals on Truck Grills: Saddest. Group. Ever. If you’re even the slightest bit sentimental, consider this a warning. This Flickr pool might bring you to tears. We are totally strong and unaffected by images of sad, lonely, lost and deeply missed stuffed animals out in the world, alone. The sight of a beloved toy strapped to a truck grill and being driven around dark and lonely highways all over the world with no regard for its feelings did not bring us to tears. However, you might not be as strong as we are so be warned. Sniff. Sniff.

#6 What’s in Your Fridge: Remember the first time you caught a glimpse into one of the refrigerators from an episode of MTV Cribs? Suddenly your own refrigerator contents, not to mention your sucky non-entourage having lifestyle, came into question. What would your fans think if they saw your half eaten Subway sandwich, spray butter and serious lack of Clicquot magnums? And we shudder to think of the wrath of judgment that would hail down upon your non-existent collection of individually packaged beverages. Will the MTV camera crew be forced to drink tap water? If these thoughts keep you up at night then this is the Flickr group for you! Now scoot, scoot off to the nearest Whole Foods to work on your refrigerator’s new image.

#5 Hotel Room Keys: What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Unless it involves room keys. Who doesn’t love a good souvenir especially when it serves as a reminder to all of the stuff that took place in your room away from home. This Flickr group is a photographic love letter to the room key. From credit card keys to old school metal these photos are certain to enrage hotel desk clerks around the world! Unlock your creativity!

#4 Simpsons Tattoos: This group may be small but they’ve got heart! And absolutely zero issues with commitment. At least not when it comes to their love of The Simpsons. Imagine loving a cartoon character so much that you have it tattooed onto your body forever and ever. And ever. Well, imagine no more, this Flickr group’s done all the hard work for you. And in honor of the group we have done something a little less permanent, we present you with this image taken from the very first episode of The Simpsons, the one where Bart gets his tattoo removed at the laser tattoo removal clinic. Ouch.

#3 Airline Food and #2 Room Service ?????a???? ????? ????? ????? , it’s a tie! While the Airline Food pool has 587 of photos the Room Service pool is trailing behind with just fifty-two. How can that be? Those tiny little ketchup bottles and miniature jam jars deserve some digital appreciation. We love room service almost as much as we love a good underdog story so, get out your cameras and post some photos of those $18 grilled cheese sandwiches and $15 bagels. Let’s put Room Service in a head to head battle with Airline Food! Capturing your room service meal on film and posting it on Flickr might even make you feel like you got your money’s worth.

#1 Traveling Toys: We chose Travelling Toys for the number one slot on our list because, well because it’s our list. And c’mon the whole juxtaposition of a serious monument being visited by a toy is frankly, hilarious. It just is. Seriously you should try it some time. You will laugh. push download HD ????????? ????

For whatever reason, this week has been a super active one for us on Facebook and it’s been kinda fun connecting with people. We are pretty lazy when it comes to social networking, we’re not much for nudging or Pirate/Ninja battles, so when we came across this hilarious video spoof of Facebook taken literally, we laughed. A lot.

Four Four hits the proverbial nail on the head with their freaking hilarious Mariah Carey/Pebbles Flintstone mashy mash-up. It’s like apricot baby food, almost tasty enough to eat. In fact the only thing wrong with this video is that it’s got a lot of Mariah Carey in it. We’re huge fans of not Mariah Carey. Kudos to Four Four, nicely done.

Hard Candy.

Madonna: Hard Ass or Candy Ass? Here’s the official cover of her new album. So much better than that Shirley Temple-esque promo shot for Candy Store but still as far as Madonna album covers go, this is not our fav. The tongue thing looks kinda weird, no?

Opposite Day.

In Pop Culture by Heidi Nyburg on Thursday, March 13, 2008

A sequel to Lost Boys is such a fabulous idea! This is the best trailer EVER! The concept is fresh and brilliant and don’t get me started on the inventive plot line. Genius! And the Cories are phenomenal in their reprised starring roles. Bandannas for everyone!

Ok so Opposite day turned out to be opposite 30 seconds and if this trailer is any indication, 30 seconds is about how long Lost Boys took to make and precisely the amount of time it will spend in theaters before heading to the dark and lonely shelves of DVD oblivion. Oh wait I guess we can forget about the 30seconds to DVD scenario, Lost Boys 2 will never hit the big screen, it’s goin’ directly to DVD. And now we need to go break this horrific news to our cat, Alan Smithee, because we’re pretty certain that he was the director/screen-writer/producer/cinematographer/gaffer/caterer/location scout/Craft Services provider.

We played Pictionary Saturday night with some friends. Conclusion: Pictionary categories are completely bogus.

download the shadow walkers movie Case in Point: the following is a list of words and their category as deemed by the all-powerful Pictionary Genius Creator People

  • Drunk as a Skunk: Action
  • Pacifier: Action
  • Odd Man Out: Action

It would be one thing if the category was Action/Phrase/Thing/Whatever as Printed on the Card, but no, the category is: Action

Therefore, we demand a rematch.

Separated at the Candy Store

Madonna’s new album is coming!!! We can’t wait! Looks like she took a few style tips from Shirley Temple in Baby Takes a Bow for this promotional photo for the rumored first single Candy Store. You may have heard the leaked version of Candy Store back in December. According to the track listing, it will be the first song of twelve on the album Hard Candy set for release in April. We can’t wait for the tour. A few months ago we received a survey from Live Nation, Madonna’s Warner Brother’s replacement since October. The survey asked questions about souvenirs, demographics and seating preferences but the main goal of the survey seemed to be finding out just how much cash fans are willing to shell out to see Madonna do her thing. Show us the overpriced ticket line ’cause we can’t wait for the Hard Candy tour! Love. Her.
