Further Proof that Kanye Makes Everything Better (or Maybe Worse)
May 03, 4:00AM
The formula is simple: take one or more already successful intellectual properties, shamelessly rip off some sick beats remix the soundtrack using an existing Kanye West joint, then just sit back and wait for the shitstorm of Kanye fanbois and haters to eviscerate one another's musical tastes in the discussion section. Hairless cats and maniacal laughter optional.

May 03, 12:52AM
Well, that's not how it's supposed to work. A guy cutting down a tree branch gets caught in a gnarly spill when the branch he was cutting down falls and takes him down with it. Nature isn't too kind when you're chopping her off, I guess.
These ads explain why books are always better than movies
May 02, 11:20PM
Everyone with wrinkles on their brains knows that the book is almost always better than the movie. The book can do so much more! Your personal vision is only limited by your imagination! The little details and subtleties are allowed to breath better! These ads explain it rather perfectly saying, "a big part of the story is lost when it becomes a movie".

May 02, 9:55PM
