Remember the original Nintendo, and the awe that came along with the release of Mario 3, complete with the raccoon tail feature that enabled Mario to fly? Well even if you don’t, video blogger Oliver does, and over at the Hooksexup Video Blog you can get a flashback-taste of that raccoon tail, along with a disturbing clip of Grand Theft Auto IV, apparently, the new “raccoon tail” for children of today…
Meanwhile, Scanner Emily is reminding us of yet another technological advancement that makes today’s childhoods just a little more F’ed up than ours was: Facebook! How does everyone feel about the new “people you might know” feature? Well Emily has an opinion, and yes, it has everything to do with ex-boyfriend angst…
Also on Scanner: Group French kissing: recipe for the Herp? Probably, but that didn’t stop this chain of New Yorkers from trying to break the world record! Also, did you watch TV last night? Hopefully you caught Scanner’s latest Crush of The Week. Plus: Pedophile beard; the ten weirdest pizza toppings; and a man has been charged with having sex with a table. We have so many questions about this…
Over at Screengrab, it’s all gossip, gossip, gossip surrounding Oliver Stone’s developing biopic W. James Cromwell as George Bush Sr.? Jeffrey Wright as Colin Powell? Maybe yes, maybe no- one thing we do know that this little project is going to be one hell of a goodbye present for good ol’ Dubya come January… Also: who knew April 1st wasn’t just for foolin’?; The Top Bleakest Movie Endings; and, Tintin Revealed (he’s a cutie)!
