With the overwhelming popularity of The Hunger Games, it's not surprising that the interwebs is filling up with fan art created to satisfy even the hungriest Hunger-ling.

College Humor has created this series of funny propaganda posters based on the hit film, and whether you're a fan of the movie or not I'm sure you'll appreciate the dark humor and subtexts in the tag lines. Suddenly I really want to watch The Running Man and Surviving The Game back to back!

Grandpa Jim wants to throw a house party for your kids, where he'll teach them about religion and old timey fun in a lame, milquetoast approved way! So this is what (some) kids did for fun before the interwebs? Sign me up!

By the way, if you want to throw a Grandpa Jim style party of your own (and who wouldn't!), there are party kits available online for as little as $7 American. Go fun!

This understated animated short comes from the mind of Michael Bolufer, and it's the pilot episode for a 12 part series. It looks like a fun way to bring cardboard and sharpie together, and it's animated for your viewing pleasure. A Cardboard cartoon, what'll they think of next?!

As a follow-up to yesterday's gallery of obese animals, here's a video showing a bunch of kittehs hitting the treadmill to shed those extra pounds.

Some are dedicated to getting in shape, others are lazy and don't seem to care about being a bit too fluffy, and they're all too cute! And I know this video is a couple of years old, but if you've never seen it before it's new to you!

These pixel art versions of the Masters Of The Universe rogue's gallery comes to you courtesy of artist Ty Lettau, who was kind enough to convert them all into papercraft figures you can print out and put together for your own amusement.

Who knew Skeletor was such a square? Print them, play with them, and marvel at how little muscle mass these guys have on their blocky bodies!

There is no way the citizens of Metropolis would allow Superman to continue patrolling the streets if he was actually this awkward. Heck, I'm surprised The Man Of Steel isn't involved in more lawsuits, considering how much damage he does to buildings and vehicles as he fights crime. And the least you can do when you're posing as Clark Kent is keep your pants on!

Apparently there's an animal obesity epidemic in the U.S. that coincides with people being heavier than ever before, at least according to the almighty media.

Personally, I prefer my kitties on the heavy side, so they don't taunt me about my weight with their condescending looks and incredible feats of agility.

Michelle Collins from Best Week Ever wants to raise awareness about this issue with a gallery she has put together of overweight animals and the humans that get a hernia trying to lift them off the ground.

Or maybe she just wants to point and laugh at the poor little critters, which will probably lead to kibble binging and catnip addiction.

This cute animated GIF comes to you courtesy of Daniel Bressette, who clearly has love for The Legend Of Zelda and glowing pieces of meat. Entitled Let's Eat, it's a celebration of the fact that winter is over, except for those who have made Hyrule their home.

Boston Dynamics is showing off their newest innovation with this video of their Sand Flea Jumping Robot in action. It looks like a flask with wheels, or one of those RC cars that can flip end over end and keep wheeling, but the Sand Flea is so much more:

Sand Flea is an 11-lb robot with one trick up its sleeve: Normally it drives like an RC car, but when it needs to it can jump 30 feet into the air. An onboard stabilization system keeps it oriented during flight to improve the view from the video uplink and to control landings.

While the Sand Flea is currently in development for use in military applications, I'll be surprised if RC cars don't integrate the awesome jumping feature into their own models in the near future.

The Dark Knight Rises is almost upon us, and I'm excited by all that I see about this movie-awesome action figures, the confirmed return of Liam Neeson as R'as Al Ghul, and now the trailer gets a LEGO makeover, thanks to Paranick Filmz.

You gotta love how far stop motion LEGO films have come over the last few years, and with the inclusion of visual effects the bar has been set even higher.

When you're looking for a vehicle that epitomizes the Jurassic era, look no further than the Volkswagen beetle!

Created by the Mutoid Waste Co. for the Beautiful Days festival in Devon, this guy would be scary if he could walk faster than my grandma.

Thankfully, this guy isn't going anywhere except straight into my dinosaur scrapbook.

Santa Claus has never been more badass, with his tattoo sleeves and militaristic garb, it's no wonder he was chosen to lead the guardians of humanity.

Check out this slick trailer for the upcoming release of Dreamworks' Rise Of The Guardians, it will make you believe in magic all over again, even if it's only the magic of CG animation and visual effects.

Just when you thought the food eaten by the mainland Chinese couldn't get any stranger, here comes this disgusting delicacy-eggs soaked in the urine of boys under 10 years old.

Called Virgin Boy Eggs, they're a big hit in the city of Dongyang, and the urine is collected from primary schools around town, making this a decidedly local flavor.

Vendors claim the eggs have good health properties, but don't they say that about every gross food item they try to peddle in China?

Retired DJs take note-there's a use for your old turntables after all!

Just attach some arms like you see in the video, lock a sharpie in place, then trip out on the spirographic artwork that the turntables create-all by themselves!

It looks all geometrical and neat, and the soothing sound of the pen dancing across the paper is enough to calm even the most rabid raver. Just don't try scratching when the tables are doing there thing, or you'll end up with a big old mess!

The hit show Mad Men has become the victim of parody across the interwebs, and Don Draper isn't going to sign off on these alternate versions of the intro sequence.

It's a cute little way to waste some time as you wait for next Sunday's episode of Mad Men to air. Scotch and soda, anyone?
