My apologies to those of you who are afraid of snakes, but if a snake can ever be cute, then little Pretzel here certainly qualifies as he gets to know a wooden snake toy.

What would happen if the Adventure Time gang also had superpowers and united together to protect Ooo from evil? DeviantArt user m7881 has a good idea, as illustrated in this fun piece.

Whether you hate product placement for turning films into brand commercials or think it's a great way to fund movies by adding the reality of brands we encounter on a daily basis, there's no denying that some movies do it better than others. The Consumerist has a great look at 12 films loaded with product placement and evaluates the films based on three factors -the relevance to the story, the uniqueness of the brand to the film and how obvious the placement is. Unsurprisingly, the film with the highest score is 1989's The Wizard, which obtained a perfect score:
Relevance: 10/10 Don’t take this high score as an indicator of quality. Rather, it’s intended to show that this movie is a 100-minute Nintendo ad, and thus the use of Nintendo products is totally relevant.
Uniqueness: 10/10 Again, since the entire point of the film revolves around the Nintendo brand, it would be incongruous to have the characters continually playing a Sega console.
Obviousness: 10/10 The poster for the movie features not just the actors from the film, but the Power Glove and an illustration of Mario.
What films do you think featued the most obvious product placement and do you think it at least fit in with the storyline?
I don't drink coffee, but if this Coffee-mate creamer in Thin Mint and Samoa flavors even does a half-decent job of making my cup of Joe actually taste like a Girl Scout Cookie, I'll start sipping it down every chance I get. If only I could dunk Girl Scout Cookies in my Girl Scout coffee.

Breeze somehow lost his mother when he was only a few days old. While the Mare and Foal Sanctuary of Devon County, England was able to help nurse him back to health, they still couldn't provide the warmth and comfort Breeze's mother would ordinarily offer to the colt. They could, however, provide him with a teddy bear that he could cuddle with -and the replacement works. Little Breeze now cuddles up with his bear friend every night before bed.

There's nothing quite like snuggling up under Mr. and Mrs. PacMan's love scene or an army of Space Invaders. That's why Etsy seller PenelopeandClyde sells fantastic crocheted throw blankets featuring classic scenes from some of the most iconic retro video games. I seriously want this one after all the quarters I've spent trying to get these two to make babies.

What's cuter than one of the world's smallest deer? A baby of one of the world's smallest deer. This adorable fellow here is a Southern Pudu recently born at Nordens Ark in Sweden. Even when he's full grown, he'll still only weigh around 25 pounds.
These are the moments that make me truly love cosplay. When a character variant meets up with a gender-swapped version of the more traditional character, magic happens. If you don't recognize these two, then you probably aren't familiar with Firefly, which means you have much bigger problems than not recognizing two awesomely dressed people at a convention.
Can't decide between having fried chicken or pizza for dinner? No problem, just try the Pa'Zing a pizza/chicken wings crossover by Atlanta-based restaurant Calypso Wings. Unfortunately, the restaurant isn't actually opening until late summer/early fall, but in the meanwhile, I'm sure these would be easy enough to figure out and make at home.
Sometimes it doesn't matter whether the chicken or the egg came first. Sometimes it only matters which one we love the most. In this video, the chicken is certainly the most important choice.
