How can someone seek true enlightenment in these times with all that is going on in the world? Buddhists everywhere are asking that same question. But one farmer in the Hebei province, in northern China, thinks that she can achieve enlightenment through the cultivation of the Buddha himself. Well, not the Buddha, but these shaped pears resembling the iconic figure. To produce the pears, the fruit is placed in a mold that is put on the final weeks of growth. With a price tag of 50 yuan, or about $7.30, 
we’re not sure what her true intentions were.
Hell, at $7 for a single piece of fruit, we were thinking of trying this in the US. Only we need to come up with something that would work here. Maybe Hannah Montana shaped apples. Our researchers are looking into it right now. We’ll keep you informed on what they say.
Damn that sneaky rabbit. Just when it seams Turtle can talk some sense into him, that damn Rabbit tries something else.
If you missed the first two Turtle and Rabbit comic strips, you can check them out here and here.

Judge Judy scares the crap out of us. There, we said it. Honestly, her old wrinkly Skeletor appearance kind of creeps us out. Not to mention the fact that she’s meaner then baboon with a stick up its ass. However, her court cases are at least entertaining. Take this one for instance. It’s a dispute between two chicks over who should pay for a damaged IPhone. The case sucks until this chick decides to answer the judge’s last question.
If there’s one thing we know, it’s that Judge Judy hates stupid people. Guess it’s the wrong day to live up to the stereotype. Huh, blondie?
The term “trailer park trash” isn’t just limited to the garbage that’s put out in mobile home communities every week. No, it’s something more then that. For some, it’s a way to classify the less intelligent, skeezier, dirtier segment of the general population that we tend to look down at. For some, it’s the only reason Jerry Springer was so successful all those years (we think it was the midgets fighting over a 300lb women who turned out to be a man, and was sleeping with her dad). For others, it’s a way of life. The first volume of Ghetto Roll Call is for those people… because, sometimes, life is all good in the aluminum ghetto.

It was only a matter of time. Kanye West’s outburst at the 2009 VMAs has started making it’s way into mashups all over the net. We found this one earlier this week that provided a few laughs all around. But now YouTube users are creating their own as well. This particular video even got its own 15 minutes of fame on the O’Reilly Factor, and even in an article in the New York Times. If only we thought of this first, damn it. Well either way, we can’t wait for more spoofs of West’s outburst.
For those that don’t remember the Hurricane Katrina telethon incident, check it out here. Sorry Kanye, your music is alright, but you’re an asshole. Learn to keep your opinions to yourself, homie. At least in public.
It’s funny when you find predictions to what the future will be like in old magazines and newspapers. Popular Science is a good example. The thought that human-like robots and flying cars would be an everyday occurrence by the year 2000 was a popular assumption. But things happen that change the path of the future, and predictions don’t always become true. Sometimes predictions are so far from the truth that it’s comical.
We found this hilarious article from the August 1985 issue of Ebony magazine. Apparently, Ebony commissioned an artist to produce images of what famous African-American stars would look like in the year 2000. However, the absolute best was what Ebony believed Michael Jackson would look like at the age of forty. Click on the image for a bigger picture, and read the caption provided. That’s the real kicker.
For all those diehard MJ fans who say that it is too soon after his death, just ask yourself if you would laugh at this if he was still alive. We think you would.
