It was with much rejoicing that I shared the news of Crocs eminent demise a few months ago. Not to take joy in the fact that people were going to lose their jobs, but knowing that terrible shoes (or are they sandals?) were going to be lost forever.

Sadly though, it seems you just can’t kill ugly:

But you may have noticed that today is October 1, and Earth has yet to receive word of the company’s demise. That’s because the shoe brand has just secured up to $30 million in revolving loans. Who would facilitate such a fashion crime? PNC Financial Services Group Inc., that’s who.

Who’s behind this PNC Financial Services Group? A bunch of sick fucks, that’s who.

An early review of Windows 7 purchased off of eBay. Some people may not think its funny, others may not get it, but this this had me laughing out loud (that’s right- no acronym).

Microsoft demonstrates yet again how out of touch it is with living, breathing human beings with the release of this terrible, teeth-grinding video teaching you how to throw your own Windows 7 “Launch Party”.

A quick look inside the revamped Facebook headquarters. Each room seems to have a different theme, from retro to corporate borg, but all hipster.

Australia is heralding in the global warming apocalypse: extreme heat and drought, massive wildfires and this recent dust storm over Sydney which turned the entire cityscape into an environment akin to Mars.

Kill the pig! Slash its throat! Drink its blood!

On this day in 1954, The Lord of the Flies was published after being rejected by twenty one previous publishers.

If the thrill of scuba diving isn’t enough for you, why not strap on that mask and tank and go jump in an underground cave filled with water?

Just imagining doing this makes me want to curl into the fetal position.

Or Very Important Pixels.

And 4chan says goodbye.

And my karma drops 5 points.

Is there an introvert revolution taking place? It seems the quiet types are starting to speak up and give their extroverted counterparts some handling advice— mostly through books, naturally.

It may not change your life, but the daily factoids and illustrations are a lot of fun.
