Everyone has their favorite web browsers they’re partial too. Chrome is a my “fun browser,”  while Firefox is my “work browser” and IE is my “download Chrome and Firefox browser.”

The good folks at Walyou put together this infographic that imagine what it might be like if celebrities were web browers. Some of the picks may seem odd at first, but if you read the descriptions they make a lot more sense.

Thanks to Anton for the tip.

I’ve watched this about five times now, and I’m still not sure I can believe it’s real. It’s an ad made by the National Crime Prevention Council (the guys who invented McGruff the crime dog) and it’s supposed to discourage you from piracy.

The premise is that when you buy a counterfeit DVD on the street, your money goes to support everything from child slave labor to gang violence to terrorism. As goofy as that premise may be it’s at least REMOTELY plausible, as I’m guessing those shady street vendors have a few even shadier connections, but this has NOTHING to do with online piracy because honestly, it’s 2011, are people seriously still buying burned copies of DVD on the street?

Piracy may not be a good thing, but it sure as shit isn’t supporting child labor or gang violence. There’s no “couple bucks” being paid as the ad says, and I’ve never heard of anyone getting rich off of being a master torrent uploader.

We’re not normally a celebrity gossip blog here, but when one of our favorite stars does something pretty awesome, it’s worthwhile to stop and take a moment to recognize it.

You may remember a few months back a video of a Marine asking Mila Kunis to go to a Marine Corps ball with him. She said yes, but later had to back out because of scheduling conflicts.

But as evidenced by the picture above, she did in fact make it to the ball, and this guy got to be the luckiest man on earth for a night. I wonder how long this will be his Facebook profile picture?

Check out his original request video below. This whole situation is perhaps the best Marines recruiting bulletin you could ever hope for.

As you can tell judging by the sheer volume of Skyrim posts this week, I’m currently in love with the game, and judging by the responses, many of you are too. But there’s a limit to enthusiasm, and mine would top about nine steps before naming my firstborn child after the game.

But not for some. Meet Dovahkiin Tom Kellermeyer, born on 11/11/11 who was named after the Dragon language translation of “Dragonborn.” Bethesda heard about this folly, and decided to reward him with free versions of any Bethesda games he could ever want over the course of his life, and I think the same goes for his parents.

Judging by the fact that his middle name is “Tom” and no one on earth can correctly pronounce “Dovahkiin,” I’m guessing this kid will be Tom Kellermeyer his whole life until he goes to apply for his drivers license and is in for a nasty surprise. On the plus side, maybe he’ll discover he has the ability to shoot fire out of his mouth or turn ethereal and immune from damage.

Alright, this is officially the single greatest Star Wars related image of all time. The Star Wars saga has been retold in many ways, and has experienced many crossovers, but none can hold a candle to the saga being retold by unicorns. You just cannot top that.

This amazing scene can adorn your wall or laptop or iPhone forever if you pick up a copy of it over at Society 6. You will automatically become one of the top 50 coolest people on earth if you buy one.

Once in a while I break from TV, movies and video games to showcase something that I believe shows us that we’re actually living in the fictional future created by all of those things. Real life and sci-fi and coming together all over the place, and there have been incredible advancements in robot technology that tell me that I may not die of old age in my ’80s, but I could be bowing to our Skynet overlords.

This is a robot called “Petman” which can do a variety of human tricks like walking, overcoming obstacles, and most hilariously, doing pushups. I never thought I’d see a robot doing push-ups but in the past month I’ve watched Real Steel and now this.

I like the way he walks. Robot’s got swagger.

I don’t think there are many greater ways to get noticed while speeding on the freeway than to be driving a Lamborghini while dressed as Batman. Sadly, as awesome as this guy is, the long arm of the law tracked him down and he’ll have to pay a ticket. Though judging by that car, he can afford one.

Unless…this really is Batman, taking his mini-Batmobile prototype out for a ride. In that case, I expect the next shot in this series to be two cops coughing in a cloud of bat-smoke, with the Dark Knight speeding away mumbling “I’m on your side douchebags.”

Prepare to have you mind completely blown. What you’re about to watch is one of the most WTF things I’ve ever seen, and I’m still trying to wrap my head around it completely.

The title describes it as best I can, as it would seem to be a performance of French Star Wars ballet disco. Don’t know what that means? Well you’re about to find out.

It mostly revolves around C-3PO and Darth Vader getting their respective grooves on, though something tells me this was made before it was revealed that Anakin built Threepio all those years ago.

I feel like I may have gone insane after watching this.

Zombie Steve Jobs of course! He’s returned from the grave to steal the buttons off of your electronics!

Seriously, this will be one of the easiest costumes to make, as all you need is a turtleneck, glasses, a beard and your iPhone. I think this would actually be a funny “too soon” costume however, unlike some I’ve seen like a guy in a bloody Virginia Tech sweatshirt that I almost had to punch in the face out of principle.

But no, I’m sure Jobs would look down from Nirvana (he’s Buddhist) and laugh a bit at your hilarious costume. Or he might come back to earth and crash your Macbook hard drive.

I haven’t read too much Lovecraft myself, but even I’m familiar with Cthulhu, the underwater behemoth that was the subject of many of his books.

If you found Lovecraft a bit too dense to read yourself, you might appreciate this Dr. Seuss-ified version from Dr. Faustus, who is translating the book into picture and verse.

He’s up to about thirteen pages so far, and he adds more everywhere. It’s a pretty cool project, and the art style is definitely straight out of your childhood. Check it out below:
