The Where's Waldo? Topless Beach Scene Scandal

You see a lot of different people doing lots of different things when you search for that bespectacled master of concealment in Where's Waldo? books, but the books are for kids so you don't expect to see nudity.

But back in 1992 a detail oriented mother from Nashua, New Hampshire named Eileen Godfrey noticed to her horror that the Where's Waldo? puzzle she'd bought for her daughter Jessica contained the dreaded female nipple:

Turns out the tiny nude was in Martin Hanford's classic book from the very beginning, and may have gone unnoticed because nude sunbathing is legal on UK beaches, so British publishers likely didn't see the tiny nipple as a problem. Guess we showed them!

7 Of The Cruelest Reality Shows Ever Made

Reality shows like Survivor and Big Brother have been downright nasty to their cast of wanna-be actors, but the cruelty found on these shows cannot even compare to that of Nothing But The Truth, Space Cadets and The Swan.

On Nothing But The Truth contestants were questioned while hooked up to a lie detector, then asked to truthfully answer painfully awkward questions like "have you ever fantasized about your girlfriend's best friend?".

So what's the rub? The contestant's family, friends, and partners are sitting there watching the whole thing.

(YouTube Link)

Space Cadets wasn't cruel because it made contestants squirm in their seats, it just ruined the young casts' lives by convincing them they were chosen to become some of the first members of the public to fly into space.

They were convinced they'd been flown to Russia and then launched into space, apparently unaware that there's zero gravity in space.

(YouTube Link)

And, last and certainly least in terms of human decency, is the controversial show The Swan, which was truly the worst makeover show ever made.

The premise is simple- give the female cast a bunch of unnecessary plastic surgery to make them live up to some standard of beauty dreamed up by a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon.

Women Stormtroopers Try Out New Armor

Kevin Weir of KW Designs unveiled a new Stormtrooper armor kit that makes cosplay easier for women. It’s called the FEM7, and a group of cosplayers wore it to Long Beach Comic Expo in February.

As a member of the Star Wars costuming group the 501st Legion, Weir has been familiar with stormtrooper armor for more than 10 years. Eventually he began making cosplay armor for others and created stormtrooper armor for women called the FEMTK, based on the armor worn by female stormtrooper Jes Gistang in the Star Wars: Legacy comics. The new armor differs from the FEMTK, since it's not directly inspired by an already established look.

"I wanted to go beyond the boundaries of creating a character that's been seen before, but at the same time try to encapsulate all those different elements from The Clone Wars, Ralph McQuarrie, The Force Awakens, [and] the classic stormtrooper," Weir told the Daily Dot. "I just kind of let my mind relax and have fun with the sculpt."

Eleven Stories Posted Online That Are Obviously Total Bull-Pucky

(Image Link)

The internet is like a farm in a few key ways-  1. it takes many people working together to keep it going strong, 2- stories are always popping up and growing online and 3. there's a whole lot of BS spread around among the sprouting stories.

(Image Link)

We need these fake stories to keep the fantasy alive, because without stories made of pure bullcrap a car accident is just a car accident and not a fated meeting with a fashion photographer ready to make your star rise.

Darth Jar Jar

What if the plot of the Star Wars prequels had taken a left turn and Jar Jar Binks had ended up as a Sith Lord? This question was put to Ahmed Best, who played the voice of Jar Jar. At least he could show us what such a character would sound like.

(YouTube link)

First, Best does a generic Darth voice to get into the mood, then he puts Jar Jar into it, and the results are …weird, to say the least!

An Incredibly Realistic, Life-Sized Groot Costume

Sure, "We are Groot," but it takes a special person to actually become Groot -especially in a full-sized costume. On Instructables, you can learn how to become just such a special person by making your own cosplay. Note that when I say "life-sized," I mean life-sized based on the film, not human-sized -meaning 7'7". 

Of course, the project won't be easy, but you might be surprised at how cheap something this incredible can be. And, the end result is certainly well worth the effort.

Marco Rubio Sitting In A Giant Chair: The Photoshop Battle

(Image Link)

We live in an age where people can say something at a debate, or post an embarrassing picture of themselves online, and almost immediate get responses...that are generally satirical in nature.

(Image Link)

Trump calls Marco Rubio "Little Marco" in a debate and the internet responds by photoshopping a picture of Rubio sitting in a giant chair, revealing what he'd look like as a tiny man trying to survive in a big, scary world.

(Image Link)

It's a time of technological wonder and sociological horror, as presidential candidates are subjected to all kinds of cruel and unusual stuff online, because the internet is like Thunderdome.

The Struggle Is Still So Real

The struggle is all too real for some, while others breeze through life never knowing what it's like to work extra hard at something only to have dirt thrown in your face.

(Image Link)

Those of us who have learned to struggle with a smile know better than to sweat the small stuff, because a proper bun does not a hot dog make.

(Image Link)

When struggling becomes a part of daily life you expect to come up short here and there.

(Image Link)

But at the end of every long day you know your friends and fam are feeling your pain, and some of them have been dealing with the struggle since before you were born.

Drag Queen Phi Phi O'Hara Does 90s NickToons Cosplay

A photo posted by Phi Phi O'Hara (@phiphiohara) on Feb 8, 2016 at 8:24am PST

Drag cosplay is a relatively new and niche part of the performance art hobby, not to be confused with gender swap cosplay (crossplay) since those costumes rarely involve all the over-the-top style elements that are an inherent part of drag.

Phi Phi pulled out all the stops to make every 90s NickToon look as authentic as possible, which is utterly amazing in most cases yet truly terrifying when the character being brought to life is Lil DeVille from Rugrats. *shivers*

The Alternate Versions Of Wonder Woman

I posted a feature article a while back called The Wonderful World Of Wonder Woman Cosplay, which featured a few dozen cosplayers showing off their take on Wonder Woman's signature styles over the years.

Now Variant Comics has put together a video detailing "The Alternate Versions Of Wonder Woman", in honor of the Amazonian warrior princess' appearance in the upcoming movie Batman V Superman. (skip to around 1:45 for the variants)

(YouTube Link)

Whether you prefer the real life costumed versions found in cosplay or her colorful and curvaceous comic book look you must agree- Wonder Woman looks great considering she's 75 years old!

Track The Progress Of This Guy's Face Tattoos Through His Mugshots

Most people who get a tattoo on their face keep it small and simple, trying to add to their look rather than cover it up or change it.

But when people go for the full "sideshow freak" look and decide to tattoo their entire face the process typically takes a while.

So how can someone who will soon be rendered unrecognizable track the progression of their face tattoo?

Well, if you're anything like the Texas man featured in these pics, one Jacob Joe Pauda, you can track the progress through your mugshots.

As Jacob's crime escalated from racing and driving without insurance to aggravated assault over the last 3 years his facial tattoos have grown as well, turning him into one mean lookin' mug:

Lawful Good Is A Lie

Some gamers see the Lawful Good alignment as a roleplaying challenge, struggling through every gaming session as they try in vain to maintain their "holier than thou" morality in a chaotic neutral world.

But playing through a fictional character's morality struggle wears thin fast, and you're left with a paladin turned embittered fighter who melts down their halo for a pouch full of gold pieces.

John Kovalic exposes the hypocrisy of going Lawful Good when you roll up a character in this strip from Dork Tower, the webcomic that always makes me want to play Munchkin for some reason...

Darth Maul: Apprentice

Many Star Wars fans will tell you that the best thing about The Phantom Menace was Darth Maul, and he got killed almost immediately after appearing onscreen. Someone finally did something about that. Shawn Bu of T7 Productions made a fan film about Darth Maul in his earlier life. It’s a very well-made fanfilm. Watch the young Sith take on multiple opponents with his duel-blade lightsaber.  

(YouTube link)

We worked incredibly hard on this film for almost 2 years! We always felt that Darth Maul should have had more screen time. So we wanted to create a film just for him with the best lightsaber fights we could do!

This is one extended battle sequence, and worth every minute. See a making-of video here. -via Metafilter

The Plot Spreadsheet That Helped J.K. Rowling Write The Harry Potter Series

The Harry Potter series was pretty intricate in terms of plot and character development for a young adult series, and that means J.K. Rowling spent a lot of time preparing to write the story to make sure everything lines up properly.

In order to help her speed this process up a bit Rowling created a plot spreadsheet to help her keep the story on track:

A spreadsheet plot written out by J.K. Rowling. Her approach to spreadsheet plotting is to divide the columns by chapter number, story timeline, chapter title, main plots and subplots.

The Harry Potter spreadsheet first made the rounds about six years ago, but since it's such a fascinating look at the process involved in writing the iconic series I figured it would still make for an interesting read...that is, if you can read really scribbly handwriting.
