Ugo has the 50 Scariest Santas gallery on their site right now. There are some really creepy ones on there. Who knows where they find these Santa Claus workers. The first one below looks like the fat woman who was on Drew Carry’s show with the eye makeup.
Yikes. A Consumerist reader points out that an Old Navy sweater button looks like it has a swastika on it. Not the happiest thing this holiday season to find during your shopping. I’m sure it’s a mistake, but wow.
Google Maps has provided the immature internet with plenty of humor in its existence. The latest that I’ve found deals with a penis that lives at midfield on the Herman Giest Stadium via Google Maps satellite view. Honestly, I wonder if there is a skill you need to pull something like this off. It reminds me of crop circles (think of Signs movie). It’s easy to critique the form of one of these markings from 50,000 feet, but you need special skill to draw a perfect dick on a football field.
Here are 5 products and toys that did not go over the way their creators would have hoped.
Amazon has pulled the book from its site. They must have changed their tune after the the mainstream media picked it up. I mean, it was on Dr. Phil after all.
Lots of buzz online today about a Kindle book that Amazon is selling entitled: The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure. Written by Phillip R Greaves, The Pedophile’s Guide… ranks 158,221 on Amazon and since many outlets including Tech Crunch reported on it, there are not over 1,200 1-star reviews and many anti-Amazon customer images.
Amazon has followed up with an update on why they will continue to carry the pedo book:
Wheel your fat ass up to Chandler, AZ’s Heart Attack Grill where you can eat for free if you’re in excess of 350 pounds.

He previously owned seven Jenny Craig weight loss centers.
Very cool video of the abandoned Six Flags in New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina ravaged the area and this Six Flags has not been open since 2005. It will be demolished in January of 2011. Video by Teddy Smith.
Lawsuit coming. Stanetsky Memorial Chapel, a funeral home in Brookline, MA mixed up two cemetery plots. Evelyn Zippin was buried in Woburn, MA but this was a mistake. Her 96 year old body should have been buried in Roxbury, MA which is about 20 miles way. Her son Bruce Zippin, told 7News that the funeral home never informed him about the mix-up and moved his mother’s body on their own. Stanetsky Memorial Chapel dug up his mother’s body and moved her without telling him. Why was there a mix up? Stanetsky had two bodies named Evelyn.

Recently stayed at the Hyatt in Cambridge, MA. Friendly staff and all but the hotel had its little quirks. For example, if you wanted to work out in their gym before your day began, you needed to walk through a super-cold building connector. Not knowing this, I froze walking across the long tunnel. Another quirk was, my door did not shut correctly initially but I found the key – slam the shit out of it. That closed it. I alerted staff to it upon checkout and again, the Hyatt staff was totally cool. Pictured below, though, was something I forgot to mention but did take a photo of. Exactly what you don’t want to see when you lift the toilet lid for the first time in your bathroom. I guess the cleaning service fished this hair clump out of the shower, but then forgot to flush.
