The world is not right. If you ever watch as much television as I do, you would have ran into an infomercial about a product called the Snuggie. Snuggie is pretty much a cross between a blanket and poncho. It goes over your head and covers your body to make you look like you belong in a cult or the KKK. Snuggies are usually comes in solid colors such as red and brown, however lately Snuggies have been making their products with designs from licenses such as Capcom’s Street Fighter 4. Unfortunately, SF4 wasn’t the last of it. Rumors has it that Viz Media will be launching a licensed Snuggie featuring Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto and Naruto Shippudden. Based on the picture, it looks like the Snuggie will look like the cloak that the Akatsuki wears which features the signature red clouds on a black cloak. Regardless whether this Naruto inspired Snuggie is cool or not, the Snuggie fad must stop. Go buy a sweater or a jacket. BAH!
The chaotic event called the Twilight New Moon movie release is upon us and the massive amount of Twilight themed merchandise releasing this month is violently beating us on our heads. Earlier this month, toy manufacturer Mattel released their Twilight inspired Bella Swan and Edward Cullen Barbie dolls. They seem to be a hit as many online retailers are sold out and stores such as Target only has a few piece left on their shelves. Well, the insanity of a Twilight and Barbie mash up is not over. Online toys and collectibles retailer Entertainment Earth just released images (and taking pre orders) of the next Twilight Barbie doll. Getting the “Barbie” treatment this time will be Jacob Black. Unlike Edward and Bella Barbie, Jacob is a bit less covered up. Rather than going with the regular long haired and grungy Jacob that we saw in Twilight, Mattel chose to go with the more clean up and topless version of Jacob that you see in the New Moon trailers. Mattel might not have the likeness of Taylor Lautner down, but they did stick a tattoo on his arm and put him in a pair of frayed cut off jean shorts. A tattoo and cut off jeans short must scream Jacob Black right? Right…? Maybe a name tag on his chiseled chest that says “Hi! I’m Jacob Black from the movie New Moon which is a sequel to the blockbuster, Twilight in which was a movie adaptation of a novel by author Stephanie Meyers. Also, I lost my shirt because I tore it off in the name of passion” might help. On the other hand, a standard packaging with his name would suffice. Regardless, Team Jacob fans will be pleased. I’m just a bit scared with the picture as Jacob Barbie seems to be staring right into my soul…
Jacob Black Barbie will be in stores in February 2010. Oh yeah… when the hell am I going to get a good Alice Cullen figure made? Huh?!
Where to buy: Order Twilight Jacob Black Barbie Doll from Entertainment Earth!
While I was eating lunch, I was browsing through one of my favorite blog sites (toplessrobot.com) today to come upon an iPhone app that made me go “WTF!” and at the same time made me want to take a shower to get clean from the perverse nature of it. Introducing, Puff!. Originating from Japan, this little iPhone app lets the user interact with a pretty gal on the screen. Unfortunately, the interaction requires the user to either blow into the screen or rub the screen upward. Now you may ask, what exactly does these actions do? Well….errr…. I’ll let you find out for yourself. Hit the jump to see Puff! in action and make sure to turn the shower on before you do cause you definitely need it.

Russia Today reports that a 14 years old tyke from China was such a huge fan of Transformers that he drank gasoline for 5 years to become a “valiant fighter” like Optimus Prime. He first became a fanatic of the Transformers animation series when he was 9 and this is when his gasoline dietary regiment first started. There is currently no details regarding the volume of gasoline he consumed on a daily basis or whether he drank the generic unleaded fuel or the good stuff.
Silly boy… you can’t become like Optimus Prime by drinking gasoline. You need to get Energon! They explain that in the first episode buddy.

On a side note, even if this worked, I can’t afford this program at $3.99 a gallon.
Megan Fox is quite an adorable gal. She has graced the covers of countless magazines and is a daily fixture on many entertainment news sites and blogs. Her exposure on the web is so great that there was even a “A Day Without Megan Fox” that called for a boycott on news regarding the starlet.
Considering, she is very easy on the eyes and have been known to be very friendly to her fans, it is pretty insane when it comes of some of the stuff she has said on the red carpet and during interviews.
E! Online’s Breanne L. Heldman beautifully complies a list of Megan Fox’s “WTF did she say?” moments.
1. Golden Globes, January 2009:
“I am pretty sure I’m a doppelgänger for Alan Alda. I’m a tranny. I’m a man.”
2. FHM, June 2007:
“I forget to flush the toilet. Friends will tell me, ‘Megan, you totally pinched a loaf in my toilet and didn’t flush.’ ”
