Abandoned amusements seem much creepier than other desolate urban structures, the death of fun filling trespassers with a sense of foreboding and unease.

Or maybe that’s just me, because I’ve watched way too many horror movies set in abandoned amusement parks.

Either way, the general consensus is that abandoned amusement parks look creepy and sad, which is why urban explorers love to break in and snap some pics to share with the interwebs.

These pics show the state of the abandoned Six Flags amusement park in New Orleans, Louisiana, which was left to rot after Hurricane Katrina swept through town.

Photographer Seph Lawless visited the saddest Six Flags ever for a shoot that’s sure to make theme park fans a little blue, but look on the bright side- now it can be used as a horror movie set!

Take it from Lemmy, lead singer of Motörhead- clear liquors like vodka are better for your body than the browns like whiskey.

Lemmy has been living a true rock & roll lifestyle for fifty years, living as hard as his lyrics claim, but recent health issues have forced him to leave his beloved whiskey and Coke by the wayside.

Due to gastric distress and dehydration Lemmy must now live the rest of his wild life drinking Screwdrivers instead of Jack & Coke. Lemmy had this to say about the switch “I like orange juice better, so Coca-Cola can f%*k off!”

Hollywood reboots should be added to the list of inevitable things alongside taxes and death, and the fact that most reboots are awful doesn’t stop the entertainment industry from rolling ‘em out by the barrelful.

So what kind of reboots should we expect to see in the near future? Well, as soon as Hollywood has finished making movies about board games they'll probably set their sights on more TV shows ripe for the rebooting.

And then we'll get to see the TV show based on the movie which was based on the TV show...

Cracked has seen the future of Hollywood reboots and it looks darker than the future SkyNet created, so take a peek at the movie posters from the reboot future but don't say I didn't warn you!

Enjoy The Violence by Mdk7

Miami in the 1980s- a hotbed of criminal conspiracies, corruption and murder. The streets ran red with blood, and the violent crime hotlines rang off the hook. There was one nut in particular who had both the citizens and the criminals running in fear, some kook who wore a bunch of different animal masks and was seemingly born to kill. That crazy killer became a hot commodity in the Miami scene, but soon even those who hired him began to fear for their lives...

This Enjoy The Violence t-shirt by Mdk7 is a cut above your average video game tee, slip it on and watch your fellow Hotline Miami fans go crazy!

Art that gives the illusion of being 3D isn’t quite as effective when viewed on paper in person, but when you view it on a computer monitor the results are rather intriguing.

Many artists try to create 3D artwork by tracing a photograph of the subject using digital editing software, but German artist Stefan Pabst creates his mind melting 3D masterpieces the old fashioned way.

Stefan's works are so incredible that people are constantly asking him to prove their authenticity, so he created his own YouTube channel that shows him in action so you will believe your eyes.

Understanding the differences between various economic and political systems can be quite difficult, or it can all be explained with a little help from two cows.

Newstalk ZB came up with some fun new versions of the old "You have two cows" satirical bit that makes it so easy to understand things like modern corporate economics that even a moo-ron can figure it out!

Of course, this Ecownomic method is merely meant to steer us in the right direction in a no bull kinda way, so it doesn’t really dig in to the meat and potatoes of each system.

But it's so universal that it can even be used to explain something as esoteric as Surrealism:

That explanation is easier to digest than a steak dinner and a glass of milk!

We sing the lyrics to our favorite songs whenever those songs come on, and might even bust out a shaky rendition of those songs when we’re in a karaoke kind of mood, but do we really know what the singer is actually saying?

(YouTube Link)

Most people would say yes without hesitation, but song lyrics aren’t always so easy to decipher, and songs with simpler lyrics can often be the most deceptive.

Take Bruce Springsteen’s Born In The U.S.A. for example- it has been called one of the most patriotic songs ever written, and is played whenever Americans are feeling that homeland pride.

(YouTube Link)

But Bruce’s lyrics are actually referring to America's mistreatment of Vietnam veterans when they came home from the war, as revealed by Neatorama’s favorite guest author Eddie Deezen a few years back.

So now you should only sing “Born In The U.S.A.” on the Fourth of July if you’re doing so ironically!

TV shows cancelled after one season generally fall victim to low ratings, which could be due to a lack of advertising or a lack of storyline, but when a show is cancelled after one episode it’s probably for the best.

Because when a pilot episode crashes and burns it saves the viewing audience from being taken on a trip to the bad side of Television Town, where the Hitlers and the Osbournes live.

ScreenRant has compiled a list of 10 TV Shows Cancelled After One Episode, which is all you need to see to know these shows were doomed before they made it on the air.

Seeing a classic pin-up pose in a photograph reminds us of classic artists like Gil Elvgren and Alberto Vargas and classic photographers like Bunny Yeager, giving the viewer a friendly dose of nostalgia from days gone by.

Thoroughly modern geeks don’t have as much reverence for the classics, as their idea of a classic is often something that came out not so long ago.

So what can bring these two schools of retro cool together? These amazing Men Of Twin Peaks pin-up portraits by Emma Munger.

With plenty of classic poses to keep the old timey fans happy and the ultra hipness of David Lynch to satisfy even the most jaded Hipster, these are one set of portraits worth skipping a slice or two of cherry pie to buy.

Star Wars is one of the most beloved and highest earning franchises in science fiction history, with fans who have grown up watching the series and a slew of new fans who are due to jump on board the Star Wars express when Episode VII comes out.

But a franchise is not judged by its fanbase alone, and Star Wars is not only garnering new fans nearly forty years after the first movie came out- it’s still influencing other sci-fi projects to this day.

Shutterstock created this delightfully minimalist chart to show some of the ways Star Wars has influenced the genre, from the droids and gadgets to the fact that without a Chewbacca we may not have ever met a Groot

It’s easy to assume that all photographers in the Middle East would focus on documentary photography and wouldn’t care to shoot artistic or editorial pics, since there is always so much media attention on the region.

But there are many artists out there who are creating moments instead of simply capturing them, creators who share their vision with the world via image based social media sites like Instagram.

Christto & Andrew are two of these artistic minded fellows doing their thang in Doha, and the duo came to the region because they felt living in Doha, the capital city of the State of Qatar, would inspire their creativity.

Their images seamlessly blend surreal elements with social commentary, presenting their unique view of the Middle East as two outsiders seeing the region through alien eyes.
