Museum of the World's Worst Comics. Lots of wacky stuff from the 40s and 50s.
For fellow Wire-heads: Steve Lieber draws characters from the Wire in the style of The SImpsons. (And from the same link, Wire co-creator David Simon shows up in a blog comments section to beat on someone for the stupid. warning - blog post itself is detailed plot summary of a s4 ep so be careful if you're not that deep.)
In a spectacular display of what missing-the-point looks like, many serious-minded technical people explain how the Death Star explosion caused a holocaust on Endor. (Dudes, it's Star Wars. Your science has no place here.)
The incredible Future Perfect blog, in which a Nokia researcher talks about travelling the world to see how different people in different cultures make use of cellphones. There's a list of countries and regions down the side - click on one and marvel. In my explorations so far I liked Tehran.
Joe Dante's Gremlins feature in a BT ad in the UK.
And finally, again from the wonderful photoblog riotclitshave, I give you THE POWER OF METAL.
From the End of Ewoks thing:
"All ewoks would have been better off if the tribe which made contact with the rebels continued with their original plan of killing and eating the commando team's leaders. "
I SWEAR I only read bits and pieces.....I SWEAR.....don't look at me that way!

I mean seriously, just because Wicket went all dewy-eyed over her and got his Ewok sewing kit out and made her a big brown dress out of fabric when no other Ewok wore fabric, man, that wouldn't have saved her, I would have just commando-style ninja'd in through her treehouse window and eaten that girl man. That is the ewok WAY. That is how we do.
Dave - that video is INCREDIBLE.
