Deserved Links

A Sexist Seahawks Fan Got What He Deserved After Heckling The Bills’ Female Coach. Some guy at the Seahawks game last night got caught on camera calling the Bills Female Assistant Coach a waitress and asked her to get him a Pepsi. This just supports my theory, all Pepsi drinkers are awful people.

Brazil’s getting a new Sega Genesis that looks just like the old one. This is pretty cool, who knew the love for the Genesis was so strong in Brazil. Hopefully a couple of these will make their way to the states. Those Genesis retro systems you can find at Walmart or Target now are just half assed emulators shoved in a retro looking plastic case. This new/old unit with it's ability to load old carts and roms seems pretty incredible. Maybe not $120 incredible but like $50 or $60 incredible.

Toblerone Swiss chocolate maker shrinks bars, changes shape to keep prices down. I had no idea Toblerone's were still a thing. I don't think I've ever seen them at a store that wasn't in an airport. Maybe a mall kiosk.

The Significance and Possibilities of The DC Superhero Girls Line. Here's some big news that shouldn't be. DC and it's parent company Time Warner, have finally come to the conclusion that girls also like comic book superheroes. Woohoo?

As the parent of a boy and a girl I loathe the idea that some toys are inherently for girls or for boys. If Logan wants to play with My Little Pony go for it, if Ash wants to play GI Joe, great. I'll be Bazooka. In a perfect world you wouldn't need Lego specifically marketed for girls because Lego is pretty gender neutral to begin with. The thing is we don't live in a perfect world, if you try and make products gender neutral they don't find their way to retail shelves because Target needs and aisle for boys and and aisle for girls. I don't know who to blame there, title 9?

The long and the short of it is that when it comes to superhero swag the genders have not been represented equally. A line of toys and merch exclusively marketed for girls isn't the perfect solution but it's a start.

Chris "Birdman" Andersen Has a $300 ATM Withdrawal Limit, Drives a '67 Chevy C-10. Chris Anderson sort of checks every box for me as far as professional athlete goes. Crazy athletic, check. Mohawk, check. Overcame a drug problem, check. Complete ass to the press, check and check.

The 1968 Playmate of the Year AMC AMX Comes With A Very Twisted Story. I'm not sure if they still do it but Playboy used to give every Playmate of the Year a cool pink car. Some of those cars were kinda out there. This AMC AMX kinda got involved in murder. Good times.

Dark Chocolate Is Not Good for You, and Also Sucks. I'm going to go on record as semi-pro-dark chocolate. I LOVE Hershey's special dark but I also understand that it isn't real Dark Chocolate. Ditto on the dark chocolate M&Ms but those organic 90% cacao bars they sell at starbucks for 5 dollars are HORRIBLE. It's like eating chocolate flavored drywall. Yeah it's better than eating regular drywall but it's still drywall. Also chocolate snobs are the worst. I work with like a dozen of them.

Newt Pledges Moon Base by 2020.Woo Woo you know it! I've been really bummed about the level of crazy in the Republican primaries every since Herm Cain dropped out and people stopped listening to Michelle Bachman. Thank goodness Newt promised a moon base. If I was Mitt Romney I'd immediately counter with an Ayn Randian undersea utopia.

How to Eat Food. Ugh, Candy Corn is the worst. What's it made out of anyway? Ear wax and batteries?

Ong Bak Video Game coming never soon. I'll say it, Ong Bak 2 and 3 were awful movies. When is Tony Jaa going to get it? I don't care about Elephants!

The Return of the Neo Geo. Following the traditional Neo Geo business model these handheld units will cost $800 and you won't know anyone that has one. Still that one game they had at Spaceport where you play first person as a Ninja.. man that thing is awesome!

Christmas List: Han Solo Chocolate Bar

Every day in December I plan on posting one thing from my official DevilDinosaur Christmas Wish List (patent pending). Why? Because I can.

Set your phasers to "yum" with the official Carbonite-Frozen Han Solo Chocolate Bar. Like many people, one of my favorite parts of Christmas morning is gorging myself on stocking candy. I especially love the green apple flavored licorice my mom always finds. Man that stuff is the best.

Anyhoo, this Han Solo candy bar is beyond awesome and worthy of any stocking, but I have one question. Is the girl making the candy look better or is the candy making the girl look better? Chicken and Egg man..
